ObtainingCobblestone, bow, redstone
Primary roleAutomated item use
RedstoneOne action per pulse
How to obtain
A dispenser is crafted from seven cobblestone, a bow, and redstone dust. The bow's durability and enchantments do not affect the result.
How it works
Each pulse selects a random occupied slot and attempts to use that item. Unsupported contents are ejected like a dropper.
Where to use it
Dispensers place water and lava, fire arrows, apply bone meal, shear sheep, and equip armor onto entities.
Practical tips
Fill it with one item type for predictable behavior. A comparator reads fullness, while observers or clocks control activation rate.
