Believe me, it's difficult for me to explain, lol.
I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal or not. Explained as simply as I can: my hoppers, when each slot is occupied by a stackable item, change every single item it "vacuums" in from the chest above it into one of those items it is currently holding. This has really thrown off my attempt at making an automated storage system, so I hoped someone on here could tell me what's causing it and how to stop it from happening.
Since I don't know if it's a bug or not, I decided to post it here in the troubleshooting sub-forum just in case it is. If not, and this is some kind of weird standard feature I've never heard of before, I assume this thread would belong in the "Redstone" discussion sub-forum or something.
On both a modded (with Schematica only) and unmodded client, in a single player world, I've set a hopper under a chest facing into another chest. The chest it's leading into is completely full, and I've filled up the hopper leading into it as well. Now, I take away a few of the items (all stackable) from the hopper, then place a different item (one not of the same type as any in the hopper) in the chest above. Suddenly, that item I just placed in the chest disappears, and I find one more of the item I just took a few of in the hopper than before. I watched as it turned one item/block into something else.
I've tried this in both creative and survival. I've tried changing the way the hopper is facing. I even tried it with non-stackable items, and the hopper even eats those, turning it into whatever stackable item I have in the hopper that isn't a full stack!
So, my question is: what the heck is it doing? This doesn't happen in my 1.7.10 unmodded version. Could this just be a world issue, and I need to reset everything? I can't seem to find anything about it either here or with Google.
