5 iron ore - Iron ore is grey rock with orange/peach spots on it, most commonly found in caves or cliff faces. You will need at least a stone pickaxe to mine iron. 2 wood blocks - Chop two blocks of literally any wood from a tree in Minecraft. This will yield eight wooden planks, which will allow you to make one chest. A fuel source - You can use coal, which is found by mining the grey rock with black spots on it, or you can use wood planks. A furnace - Furnaces are crafted using eight blocks of cobblestone around the border of a crafting table. A crafting table - Crafting tables are created using a two-by-two grid of wood planks in your inventory’s “Crafting” section.

You can hold ⇧ Shift while right-clicking to place the chest here without opening the hopper. To place the chest without opening the hopper on Minecraft PE or console edition, just crouch while placing it.
Be mindful of the chest’s capacity, since if it fills up the trap will no longer collect monster loot for you.
Make sure the hopper’s spout is facing the chest. If it isn’t, the food will just fly out of the hopper.
