Dispensers are blocks used to dispense liquids and items. They act the same way as they do in Minecraft. A dispenser requires a redstone signal for it to activate.

Crafting

To craft you need redstone dust on the lower middle, a bow(the bow must be unused)in the middle and the rest cobblestone.

Usage

When given a redstone signal a dispenser can:

• Drop items from its inventory.
• Shoot arrows, snowballs, spears, bone shurikens, eggs, splash potions, and fire eggs like a trap.
• Spawn mobs from spawn eggs.
• Spill a liquid from a bucket (water, lava, acid).
• Fill a bucket with a liquid (the dispenser must be facing the liquid).
• Plant crops on farmland.
• Use bone meal on farmland.
• Put Armor on the Player.
• Light a fire with the Flint and steel on the block.
• Place a Minecart onto a Rail.
• Place ignited TNT.

And many more uses!

Bugs
