Hoppers stop moving items to chests after chunk unload
I have a chest tower with hoppers feeding into the chests underneath, which is built this right on chunk borders as shown on the screenshot. The hopper I'm pointing into froze, and was not feeding items into the double chest even though there was free space in the chest. Taking a stack of items out of the hopper fixed the issue.

Upon further investigation, the hoppers are unable to feed items into the double chest regardless of where the free space is. Also they sometimes freeze and don't accept items from above for some reason

I can confirm this when hopper are placed between 2 chunks. Relate to MC-105254

Possibly caused by the inventory of closer (rightmost) chest filling up but the leftmost chest still having items. On chunk reload the game might only check the chest in this chunk, thinking for some reason that it is a single chest. Updating the hopper would update the chest and fix the issue.
Yes that is exactly what happens, the empty space was on the chest that was on the left chunk. The workaround is to update the hopper. I also checked the rest of the chest tower and it seems like all of the hoppers had this issue
Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.12.2) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.
I'm trying to load the world in 1.12.2 but it is stuck on the loading screen forever. I think it was fixed on 1.11 with the changes Jeb did to hoppers.
