Hoppers use the side texture on the bottom
Since the texture in question is strongly horizontal, this results in hoppers just looking weird from below, especially when multiple rotated variants are present.
Fixed models are attached, which make the bottom faces use the inside texture instead.

The bug
The textures used for the top of the hopper and the side of the hopper contain several regions of unused pixels.
For the hopper's side texture, this follows 23w14a's fixing of MC-203399, which means the side texture is no longer used on the bottom. Therefore, four rectangles of pixels are not used anywhere on the hopper model.
For the hopper's top texture, the ring shape was made thicker in 14w10a (from two pixels to three pixels), which is the version that converted hoppers over to proper block models. However, despite this, the newly added innermost ring of pixels never ended up being used at all, and was not removed even after the Texture Update.
It is therefore possible to remove these four regions from the hopper's side texture, and the innermost ring of pixels from the hopper's top texture, without causing any visual difference to hoppers at all.
How to fix
Fixed versions of the texture files for the sides and top of hoppers are attached to this ticket. Fixing this should be as easy as replacing vanilla's current block/hopper_side.png and block/hopper_top.png textures with these fixed textures.
I've also included Programmer Art versions of these textures, as Programmer Art is also affected by this issue. Programmer Art's fix can be applied in much the same way.
As these assets are modified versions of Mojang's own game assets, intended as a fix to the game, Mojang have all the rights to use these as a fix. If required for some reason, I give Mojang full permission to use these.
The bug
Unlike many other blocks (composters, for example), hoppers do not have a dedicated texture for their bottom faces.
In 1.19.4 and earlier, the side texture was used on the bottom faces (MC-203399). This was changed to the inside texture in 23w14a due to aesthetic concerns, however this texture is still not unique and resource packs with a specifically designed inside texture could make hoppers look bad from underneath if not designed with this in mind.
How to fix
This should be a relatively easy fix - a new texture file could be created for the bottom faces and the hopper model files modified accordingly to apply this texture to the undersides of elements. In the vanilla resources, this could simply be a file which is a duplicate of the inside texture so that resource packs can modify it separately without having to change the model.

The bug
The texture used on the bottom faces of hoppers is the same texture used on the sides. This makes hoppers look weird and streaky when viewed from below.
In addition to looking unsightly, this issue was very recently fixed in Java Edition (MC-203399), making this a valid parity issue as well.
How to reproduce
- Place hoppers
- Look at them from below
Expected results
Hoppers would use a fitting texture on the bottom. Either the "inside" texture could be reused, or a dedicated bottom texture could be implemented (MC-262455).
Actual results
The side texture is used on the bottom. Since the side texture is designed with the three segments of the hopper in mind, it causes hoppers to look striped when viewed from below.
