FAQ
Dispenser vs Dropper—what’s the difference?
Dispensers use items (shoot arrows, place water, shear sheep), while droppers just spit the item out as an entity or into a container.
Why isn’t my dispenser placing water?
Load a water bucket and ensure the dispenser faces an empty block. With a pulse, it places water; pulse again to pick it back up.
