The first thing you need to know is that you need some resources or items to make a hopper in Minecraft.
Once you are able to gather them, then you can continue with other processes.
1. To make a hopper in Minecraft, the items you will need are 5 iron ingots, 1 chest.
2. Start this process by opening the crafting menu. To get familiar with the 3x3 crafting grid in terms of how it looks like and other things, you will need to open the crafting table.
3. The 3x3 crafting grid is very instrumental for this process because the items listed above will be placed inside it before the hopper can be created.
4. When placing the items in the 3x3 crafting grid, place 1 iron ingot inside the first box and another iron ingot inside the third box of the first row.
5. In the second row, place 1 iron ingot and another iron ingot inside the first and third boxes, then place 1 chest inside the second box.
6. In the third row, place one iron ingot in the second box. Doing this will automatically create the hopper. Then move it to inventory.
