To craft a hopper in Minecraft, you will need a total of six iron ingots and a chest placed in a V shape as shown below.
Overall, crafting hoppers is extremely easy as they only require iron and a wooden chest. You can get the iron you need by mining iron ore and then smelting it through a furnace and a wooden chest by filling every slot in a crafting station except the middle slot .
However, if you're having trouble getting the ore you need, we recommend finding a cave and exploring. Eventually you will find iron as it is ubiquitous in the early parts of the caverns. After that, you will have everything you need to craft a hopper and can then use it for various things in the game.
