[MC-74482] Comparator Output Bug

When a comparator takes the Input of a container, but between is a solid block, it will not care about the signal that is given by the block.

Screenshots 1 shows normal behaviour.

Screenshots 2 shows the exact same circuit, but an empty hopper is placed behind the block.

In scrennshot 3 I placed 1 item into the hopper
=> the comparator recieves only the signal from the hopper, not from the block

This video shows the bug too:

I don't know if that is intended, but I've expected, that the comparator will recieve from both, the block and the hopper, a signal.

Works as intended.

I believe this has been confirmed to be working as intended by Mojang in another bug report on this site. If I recall the reasoning was they didn't want to have to have additional checks for comparators beyond what they already do.

That's a special mode and intended.
The hopper doesn't power the block in the "normal" way, but the comparator is "looking" through the block, ignoring the block (and it's power) as if it's not there.
