Making a Dispenser in Minecraft is the desire of many players. The game has several useful blocks for interacting with items and one of the most interesting is the “Dispenser”, or “Ejector”. This block is capable of firing items when receiving a command from the user or a Redstone circuit, but it gains even more functions when used in conjunction with specific items. Check out how to craft your Ejector in Minecraft and how to use it in creative ways in Minecraft.

Crafting a Dispenser is easy, as it only requires seven Cobblestone blocks, a handful of Redstone, and a Bow on a Crafting Table. The only requirement is that the Bow cannot have been used before, it must be new, without the usage bar visible. When ready, the player can place items inside the Ejector as if it were a chest and they will remain stored there until they receive a command to expel them. The command can come from a button or lever directly or indirectly. Upon receiving this signal, he will throw an item out.

The Ejector gains extra functions with certain items. When loaded with arrows or fireballs, he can fire them as projectiles at enemies. If there is a bucket of water or lava, it will expel water or lava respectively. If there is a flint inside, the Ejector will set the block in front of it on fire. It is also possible to place Boats and Mine Carts, as long as it is facing the water or tracks depending on the vehicle.
