 Description   

The range at which hopper can pick up items from is inconsistent, because as far as I have tested they are able to pick up items which sit on top of a block which has a hit box as high as 0.875 blocks (soul sand) which is placed on top of a hopper.
However hoppers are not able to pick up items which sit on top of the hit-box of the stand of a brewing stand which is placed on top of the hopper (which is only 0.125 blocks high).

When a container is put on top of the hopper, it is assumed the hopper is dedicated to this container.

Comment by Anthony Thyssen [ 24/Dec/14 ]

The hopper in this case is looking at the stand and not the item drops.

In otherwords...

This is NOT a bug. Works as intended!

The following video gives idea of what causes this bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEi-tKrxDNk

It basically is due to the fact that minecraft does not check the area above hoppers for entities when a block is placed on top which has an inventory. So since a brewing stand has an inventory, this means that hoppers do not try to detect whether there are entities above it and only tries to pull items out of the brewing stand instead.

Reopened, thanks

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Still a concern in 1.7.4/5 and 14w08a

Confirmed on 1.5.1.
