Talk:Dispenser

This looks inspired by Spelljammer's accelerators. TiriPon 20:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I noticed my Dispensers will only fire through blocks when they are facing West and South. I am assuming Clouds always head North. Hotrian 03:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Arrow theory
Anyone else thinking that maybe the arrows fired from the dispenser are skeleton arrows? If so, couldn't they make creepers drop records? --YX33A 22:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If there are skeleton arrows, then they should do different amounts of damage on different difficulties. It might be worth testing. I think that on multi-player, you can't pick up someone else's arrows, but I'm not sure, which might be relevant. --Nahere 05:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, dispensier-gunning down a creeper does not produce a record. I assume records are 100% chance of drop, as I only tested once before I, during the second trial, regrettably got too close to the creeper and lost the dispenser.  The first creeper dropped nothing.

Shooting through blocks
The shooting through blocks only works when the dispenser is facing south. I am building "Trap Temple" and part of it is a corridor where arrows shoot out of the wall. I developed a way to hide the redstone wire so it looks just like a random pressure plate but i'd like arrows coming from both sides not just the north. Please help.

Videos of interest
Videos that aren't quite worthy for the article, but still might be interesting to users --JonTheMon 20:13, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Here is a video showing the dispenser shooting fully automatic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Br_SV3m4M

Block Texture vs Furnace Texture
Actualy, the texture is quite different. the furnace has a filler texture of smooth stone, the 1/3 blocks are centered, and it is somewhat less shiny/blurred.

Video 3 Sony Music restrictions
Video 3 is restricted from my country. I see it was a guy from the USA who put up the link. I think it's blocked in whole Europe. Please find a new one so we can view it too. --Iamafinn 10:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

TNT?
TNT should launch out, as if in a cannon, ready to 'splode, making destruction, fast, easy, and safe! Any Questions?
