      Hoppers should pass items down before passing them over. But in my 1.15.2 version it will pass items equally over and down. This is messing up sorting systems that are supposed to pull all of one type of item from the hopper above it. It will only pull half of the items it is supposed to be sorting and the other half get pushed along the hopper pipe. When I noticed this pattern I decided to do the most simplistic test. I have 3 hoppers vertically stacked. the top pointing down into the hopper below it. The second connecting to a chest to the right and under the second a third hopper facing into another chest on the right. (as shown in the attached picture) Now with traditional hopper behavior If i place items in the top hopper the bottom chest should receive all the items and none should go into the top chest, but instead I get exactly half in each chest. This poses a serious problem with traditional sorters as the hopper pipe would actually have to be changed into a loop of hoppers so items could go around and around until all are grabbed by the hoppers of their correct sorters, but with high volume item machines, such as highly efficient farms with multiple types of items, theoretically that system could eventually break if all slots in the hopper loop get clogged up. This is on top of it being highly inefficient to pass the same items through a sorter over and over until they get picked up. I don't know if i am the only one experiencing this, I feel like I couldn't be the first to point out this flaw, but I could not find the bug report anywhere. This problem persists for me whether I am on a local game or on a server hosted also in 1.15.2 that is not hosted by my system.
