About Dispenser
The Dispenser is a redstone-powered block with nine inventory slots. Right-click it to open its storage and fill it with items. When it receives a redstone pulse, it ejects one item in the direction it is facing.
Plain items are simply dropped, but many items are activated instead. A Dispenser can fire arrows, snowballs, and fire charges, light TNT, use spawn eggs, and place or pick up water and lava with buckets. This makes it useful for automated farms, traps, and item transport.
How to get Dispenser
You can craft a Dispenser from 7 cobblestone, a bow, and one redstone dust. Arrange the cobblestone around the outside, put the bow in the middle, and the redstone dust below it.
You can also find dispensers already built into jungle temples, where they are wired up as arrow traps. Mining one requires a pickaxe, otherwise it drops nothing.
