A minecart with hopper is a minecart with a hopper inside. Unlike a normal hopper, it pulls items from containers much more quickly, cannot push items into containers, can collect item entities through a single layer of solid blocks, and is locked and unlocked via activator rails.
Similarly to other forms of minecart, minecarts with hoppers can be destroyed by attacking them, and doing so drops them as an item. Despite the appearance of the relevant particles, critical hits are not applied to them.
Minecarts with hoppers are placed similarly to other minecarts.
A minecart with hopper pulls in items lying nearby (within a range slightly larger than the cart itself), or inside a container directly above the minecart, at a high speed. In Java Edition a hopper minecart pulls items from a container with its bottom face 0.5 (exclusive) to 1.5 (inclusive) blocks directly above the bottom center of the minecart at a speed of one item every game tick in (20 items per second), eight times as fast as a normal hopper. In Bedrock Edition it pulls an item only every two game ticks (10 items per second), four times as fast as a normal hopper. It also picks up items that are lying on a block directly above the track. It does not push items into containers, but a hopper underneath the track can remove items from a minecart with hopper on the track. Ordinary hoppers can also drop items into a minecart with hopper like other containers, at the normal speed of 2.5 items per second. In Bedrock Edition a minecart with hopper on a curved rail pulls in items in a hopper lying in front of its moving direction and one block above if the hopper's output funnel is pointed downward and no block is below that hopper.[1]
The minecart with hopper can be disabled by passing over a powered activator rail, and can be reenabled by an inactive activator rail.
A dropper can insert items into a minecart with hopper if any part of the entity's hitbox is within the dropper's target block-space. A dropper can fill a minecart with hopper even if the latter has been locked by an activator rail.
An empty minecart with hopper can travel more than 85 blocks without stopping (as opposed to a normal cart going less than 12 blocks) from a dead stop using a two-powered track starter, even with another minecart in front of it. However, the distance traveled by a minecart with hopper depends on the hopper's load. Using a one-powered rail starter track, a minecart with an empty hopper travels 64 blocks until it stops (as opposed to an empty normal minecart going 8 blocks). The distance traveled diminishes non-linearly with increased hopper load; a minecart with a full hopper can travel only 16 blocks in this setup.

The textures of the minecart with hopper have now been changed.
The hopper now appears dark, same as suffocating mobs.![The first image of hopper carts released by Dinnerbone[3]](/web-api/iframe-proxy?url=https://minecraft.wiki/images/thumb/First_hopper_Minecart_Image.png/120px-First_hopper_Minecart_Image.png?33473)
