10 Hopper Uses [Redstone] - Minecraft PE Maps

If you are a redstone novice and are looking for new ways to improve your redstone skills then this map will educate you on how to build machines using hoppers. Hoppers are used to catch items or transport items into or away from chests. There are lots of uses for them and here we’ll have a look at 10 different machines you can build.

Minecart Emptier

Place a minecart chest in the beginning of the track and then fill it with some items. Press the button to make it move forward. Once it passes over the dropper it will empty all its contents into the dropper which will transport the things into the chest.

Gambling Machine

Take some emeralds from the chest and then go to the right side of the machine. Place an emerald in the dropper and then press the button to test your luck.

Looks like I was lucky as I got an iron ingot. (Ok, I admit, I got some web and potatoes at first!)

Pulse Lever

Use the lever inside the stone structure to activate or deactive the water elevator.

Hopper Clock

Activate the clock by pressing the stone button on the side of the dropper. The lamps will start being switched on and off. Currently it seems to be no way of turning the machine off.

Auto Furnace

On each chest of the machine there’s a sign with information which information to put in each chest. However, as there is no furnace it doesn’t seem to work. The items are just being funnelled into the bottom chest, still not cooked. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update of the map.

Item Collector

Press the button on the right to drop some items on the track. Then press the button on the left to make the minecart move and pick up all the dropped items and automatically place them in the chest.

Key Card Lock

Place the red card in the dropper and then press the button on the right of the machine to open the door. Any of the other cards won’t work, and that’s supposed to be like so that you can see only this specific item can open the door.

After you’ve entered through the door you can take the key card from the dropper.

Egg Farm

This is a fully automatic egg farm. Place a bunch of chickens inside the machine and then wait for them to drop eggs. Underneath the structure there are a bunch of hoppers which take the dropped eggs and funnel them to the chest.

Item Sorting System

Place the items which you’ve collected in the top chest floating in the air. If any of the items are any of the following items they will placed in its chest accordingly: diamond, iron ingot, gold ingot, emerald or quartz.
