If you’re new to Redstone and eager to learn more about its mechanisms, we recommend checking out the map titled 10 Hopper Uses. This map features ten distinct mechanisms that will help you grasp how certain devices operate, as well as explore the capabilities of redstone and its components.
Empty Minecart
Start by placing a minecart with a chest at the beginning of the track, then fill the chest inside the cart with various items. Next, press the button to set the minecart in motion. As it passes over the loading hopper, the chest will empty its contents into the hopper, which will transfer them to another chest.
Slot Machine
Take some emeralds from the chest and head to the right side of the machine. Place an emerald into the loading hopper to test your luck.
It seems we’ve hit the jackpot since we received an iron ingot.
Pulse Lever
Utilize the lever located within the stone structure to turn the water flow on or off. The water acts as an elevator for ascending or descending.
Hopper Clock
Activate the clock by pressing the stone button next to the loading hopper. The lamps will start toggling between “ON” and “OFF.” At this moment, the machine cannot be stopped.
Auto Furnace
Each chest in this machine has signs providing information on what should be placed inside each one. However, without any furnaces present, the mechanism is non-functional. All items will be directed to the bottom of the chest, remaining unprocessed. We hope this will be addressed in a future game update.
Item Collector
Press the button on the right with unwanted items to dispose of them. Then, press the button on the left to activate the minecart and get rid of all unnecessary elements.
Card Lock
Insert a red card into the loading hopper, then press the button on the right (of the machine) to open the door. However, other cards won’t work, ensuring that only you can unlock this door. It opens strictly with one card at a time.
Egg Farm
This is a fully automated egg farm. Place several dozen chickens inside the machine and wait for them to lay eggs. Beneath the structure are numerous hoppers that collect the chicken eggs and send them to the main chest.
Sorting Machine
Place the items you’ve gathered into the top chest. If among the items you put in there are diamonds, gold, iron, emeralds, and quartz, these ores will be sorted into separate chests.
