How to craft these materials
Iron Ingot
1 Raw Iron
Iron IngotFive iron, one chest
Mine iron ore with a stone pickaxe or better, then smelt it in a furnace. Five ingots make the funnel. The chest is eight planks with the middle empty — that craft already has its own page.
Iron in a V
Open the Crafting Table. Iron in both top corners, iron-chest-iron in the middle row, one iron in the bottom center. One hopper appears on the right; take it. This shape needs the 3×3 table.
Point the spout
Place the hopper by aiming at the face you want it to feed. Sneak when you click a chest so you attach instead of opening it. Items that land on top go into five slots, then out the spout. Mine it with a pickaxe to pick it back up.
