When this new ore is mined by a stone pickaxe or higher, it drops raw nickel, by which can be smelted into nickel ingots. The main primary use for nickel is by combining them with hoppers in the crafting table to create a new hopper variant called the compact hopper. Compact hoppers are new special types of hoppers that filter through only specific items that the player wants whilst discarding others. For example, if a player only wanted to put diamonds in a chest, then they can simply insert a diamond in the item category slot of the compact hopper and then it will only filter through diamonds whilst ignoring all the other items. Perhaps another potential use of nickel is that it can be crafted into tools and armour, making nickel the nether equivalent of iron from the overworld.
