Dropper

Come on! Grow up! This article is a stub. You can help the Minecraft Wiki by expanding this article.

A Dropper is a unique Redstone device that is a near-combination of the Hopper and the Dispenser. Droppers can transfer items from itself to a chest or another container when activated by a Redstone signal.

Overview

Droppers are similar to the dispenser, with the key difference being that a dropper produces items from all objects when activated, instead of summoning projectiles from applicable objects. The dropper is fully functional when it comes to transporting items. They are very economic to make, being less costly than creating a hopper. The dropper also functions similar to the hopper, transferring items into containers with a redstone signal.
