Hoppers cannot pick up stuff from ender chests!Which I thought it was a great idea!

They can pick stuff from chests if placed on them,but if a chest is placed on them they pull the things that are inside the chest inside of them! {in hopper}

If you drop something by pressing '' Q '' on the top of the hopper it contains them this is a great idea because if your in a hurry you have this quick,cool chest to just throw your belongings in!

Another crafting recipe which is above these words is the '' Minecart with Hopper '' ! In minecraft you probably hated that in real life you could just throw treasure in a minecart but in minecraft you couldn't but now you can with the minecart with hopper! The hopper also looks like a fountain!
