Using /setblock to place down a hopper with damage value 1 will cause an "unknown error", and the block will not be placed.
Looking in the server logs, the game tried to place a "hopper facing up", but since hoppers can't face up, it returns an error.
The game should return an error such as "minecraft:hopper cannot have a data value of 1".

I mean it should return something than an "unknown error".
Yeah, true, something like "BLOCK cannot have a data value of DATAVALUE" is a lot more obvious
Mention it in the title/summary then (title "setblock error message confusing for example")
Alright, done. Thanks 🙂
Using internals gives you internal errors 🙂
@unknown, you should consider solving this in a different way, for example printing the exception the method net.minecraft.block.state.BlockStateContainer.StateImplementation.withProperty(IProperty<T>, V) throws and just skipping these properties. Currently when you use 3;minecraft:hopper:1;1; as Superflat preset, the game crashes because of this exception
@unknown the game crashing because of internal exceptions is a different issue then the message that pops up. Create a new report, and I'll link them.

Because it can't face up, it sends an error, this sounds intended to me, what is the issue here?
For down use 0, south, north, west, east use 2, 3, 4, 5
