*The crafting recipe is 5 [[File:Iron Ingot JE2 BE1.png|28px]] [[iron ingot]]s and 1 [[File:Chest (S) JE1.png|28px]] [[chest]].
*Places and takes out items in [[hopper]]s, [[chest]]s, [[furnace]]s, [[minecart with chest]]s, [[minecart with hopper]]s, [[dispenser]]s, [[dropper]]s, and [[brewing stand]]s.
*Allows for the automation of many processes collecting drops.
*Powering the [[hopper]] stops it from taking in items and releasing them.
*Redstone signal emitted when a [[redstone comparator]] is placed against it directly - signal length depends on its fullness.
**1 item gives a signal strength of 1, a third of a stack (21 for items which stack to 64) gives a signal strength of 2.
**The number of full stacks × 3 = Signal strength.

;[[File:Redstone Comparator (item) JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Redstone Comparator]]
*Based on the idea of the capacitor mentioned at Minecon 2012.
*The crafting recipe is 3 [[File:On Redstone Torch (texture) JE1 BE1.png|28px]] [[redstone torch]]es, 1 [[File:Nether Quartz JE1 BE1.png|28px]] [[nether quartz]] and 3 [[File:Stone JE2 BE1.png|28px]] [[stone]].
*It is the same as a repeater, but with 2 inputs.
**If input A is stronger or equal to input B, it either repeats the signal or outputs the difference between A and B, so this can be used as an easier way make redstone contraptions like piston doors.
***Output is toggleable by right-clicking.
**If input A is weaker than input B, then there is no output.
*All containers output a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly. The strength of it depends on how full the container is and what disc number is used in a [[jukebox]].
**This works with trapped chests as well, meaning it can provide two redstone signals with different causes at the same time.

*Large trapped chests can be staggered with large chests to allow more compact storage.
*Transmit signal downward through one block. This does not apply horizontally.<ref>{{tweet|dinner|289738233984741378}}</ref>

*Gold ([[Light Weighted Pressure Plate|light]]) version reaches full strength at 60 items.
*Iron ([[Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate|heavy]]) version reaches full strength at 600 items.
*Proportional, so 10 strength signal means twice as many items as a 5 strength signal.

*Fully implemented - previously, a world editor could be used for different heights of snow.
*Drops one [[snowball]] for every layer of snow.
*Each level of snow has its own height collision.
**The topmost layer of snow does not have collision, so the player is always slightly sunken in the snow.
**Visually, four layers of snow are the same height as a slab. However, five layers of snow have the same collision height as a slab.
*Crafting recipe is 3 snow blocks in a row to create 6 snow layers.
**For each thin layer of snow crafted, the player loses exactly half the snowballs required to produce it.

* 1.5 despite being a release version is mistaken as a snapshot in the launcher.
