NOTICE

Are you sure you want to report this?

When you are making your redstone suggestions, please note that Java and Bedrock will not have the exact same the same redstone systems - this would require redoing redstone system completely on one platform or the other. The two systems are functionally different and are going to stay that way. Please be sure to tag your suggestions with (Java) or (Bedrock).

Lidded Hopper (Was Covered Hopper)

Covered Hopper  - stop checks to pull in items in from top. Lowers hopper lag and saves unintentional drops getting into hoppers. but, lets items transfer to next container. 

Update 1: currently people are using furnaces on top of hoppers for this mechanic. 

Update 2: this could let you cross 2 hopper lines without items transferring to lower line. 

Update 3: this would be a different item having iron across the top. but, still sending items to next hopper or storage unit. only getting items from the sides.

    Activate redstone next to a Hopper; this should stop items from getting in and out.

    Just lock the hopper with redstone

    AKAMIKAZEL wants to permanently stop the hopper from picking up items but locking with redstone will also stop it from pushing items, turning it into a really small chest, and who wants that?

    So, basically this would be an item pipe?!

    Are you talking about the hopper lid being a separate block, or a variant of the hopper that has a lid on it? If it's the former one, I don't see the advantage over just using a furnace on the top. If it's the latter one, I think it would be less confusing to call it a "lidded hopper", and it has already been suggested under the name "Covered Hopper".

    I like this idea  : acts like a hopper for moving items, but doesn't constantly search for items and cuts down on lag :)
    I was about to submit something similar but you already had :)

    Idk if that guy knows what you are talking about. I will ask what I think to confirm if it is what u r talking about because i want to know if it still works. From java there was the thing where putting furnaces on top of hoppers reduced lag... with the added benefit of no items falling in.

    I didn't understand update 3

    What version are your comments on? i play bedrock
