    Dispensing

    • Most items are shot out of the dispenser in its entity form. These items land 1-3 blocks away from the dispenser.
    • Bottles `o` Enchanting, snowballs, splash potions, arrows and eggs are shot out of the dispenser as if they were used through their right click action. Arrows are shot anywhere from 10-21 blocks away from the dispenser.
    • Fire charges are shot straight, similar to a ghast. However, they may come out at an angle.
    • Spawn eggs spawn its mob directly in front of the dispenser.
    • Boats and Minecarts are shot out in its entity form. If there is water in front of the dispenser, a boat will be placed on top of the water. Similarly, if a Rail(of any kind) is in front of the dispenser, a Minecart will be placed on top of the track.
    • Water and lava buckets will be placed in front of the dispenser when triggered. If an empty bucket₠is inside the dispenser, lava or water will be taken from in front of the dispenser and the bucket inside the dispenser will be filled with the corresponding liquid.
    • TNT₠is dispensed as lit TNT, which will fall if there is an opening below the block it is dispensed on.
    • In version 1.4, there was a rare glitch where a dispenser in a jungle temple would fire and turn into a green wool block upon breaking the trip wire. (This was fixed as of 1.5.2.)
    • Firework Rockets₠launch straight upwards when fired from a dispenser. This can be used to make firework displays. Can fire underwater, without the firework being affected by this.
