Hoppers don't pick up items above non full blocks > 5/8 block tall

Updated description by [Mod] GoldenHelmet
The bug: hoppers do not search the entire block space above themselves for items to collect, as they do on Java. Instead, they search only + 0.625 Y (5/8 block or 10 pixels) above themselves.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Put a pointed dripstone, enchanting table, or horizontal grindstone on top of a hopper.
  2. Drop an item on top.

Expected result

The hopper collects the item.

Observed result

The hopper does not collect the item.

Note: The original report here focused on hoppers not collecting items from above soul sand, dirt path, and farmland blocks, as they do on Java. However, those blocks (along with honey blocks) have full-height collision in Bedrock (MCPE-12109, MCPE-87458) so they cannot be used to show the bug in the hopper collection range.


Hoppers will not pick up items through soul sand, path, and farmland blocks.
