Getting Started with Hoppers
Hoppers are blocky marvels that catch and move items. First off, you need to craft a hopper. Mix 5 iron ingots and a chest on your crafting table, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a hopper. Easy, right?
Now, to use the hopper, simply place it where you want items to be collected or transferred. The tapered part should face where you want the items to go. If it’s towards a chest, all items falling into the hopper will neatly slide into the chest. It’s a fantastic way to keep your space tidy and organized, especially when dealing with farms or sorting systems.
