Dispenser block in Minecraft
A Dispenser uses or shoots the items inside it when it receives a redstone signal.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 7 × Cobblestone, Redstone Dust and Bow. It is mined with a pickaxe.
What it does
Seven cobblestone around a Bow with Redstone Dust below make one. Powered, it fires arrows, fireballs and potions, places water or lava from buckets, uses bone meal, shears sheep, equips armor on players and mobs and lights TNT. With items it cannot use, it simply drops them like a Dropper.
It is the core of many traps, farms and automatic doors.
