Change Hopper recipe to copper

If you want to add more uses for copper I think it would make a lot of sense to change the recipe of Hoppers to be copper, here's a few reasons why:

1. With the new copper Golem functionality, copper would have a light theme of tech and inventory management to it. 

2. Would be a soft nerf to iron farms. 

3. The name, hopper, copper, just makes sense. 

I don't think you'd need to change the aesthetic of hoppers, but I personally wouldn't be against it. Maybe the speed of hoppers could be controlled by their oxidization?

    Point 2 is wrong, this would not be a nerf to iron farms. It would only make them less necessary as hoppers are one of the big things that eat up Iron. The Iron farm itself would not be any less useful as there are still far too many recipes using iron.

    I play survival all the time, and iron is hard to come by in the early game. I could benefit from a cheaper hopper, same recipe pattern, just copper instead of iron with the nice verdigris patina. I don't necessarily make my base near a village, so I don't have villagers to make an iron farm. Also, I find it kind of cheesy to have to make a villager breeder and iron farm every game I play. I need iron for picks and armor, and now with pointed dripstone, I need it for cauldrons for furnace fuel and buckets.

    I don't think they should change the recipe. Adding a recipe for copper hoppers with slightly different functionality could be cool though! Maybe with less spaces but they affect Redstone diffrently?
