Dispenser

A Dispenser is a special block available since Beta 1.2. When right-clicked, a menu allows you to place items inside it:

Each time the block receives power from a redstone circuit, a random item from its inventory drops out. Arrows, eggs, and snowballs that are stored inside the dispenser are fired out in a narrow arc, instead of dropping out. Arrows cause damage as if shot by a player, but cannot be picked up.
