Template:BlockTileEntity

The dropper is a block that can be used to eject items, or push items into another container.

The dropper is not available in the Xbox 360 or PS3 editions.

Obtaining

Droppers can be crafted from cobblestone and redstone.

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Cobblestone +
Redstone

Usage

A dropper can be used as a container or as a redstone component.

To place a dropper, use the "Use Item/Place Block" control (right-click, by default). A dropper can be placed so that its output faces in any direction, including up or down. When placed, the dropper's output will face in the direction it was placed from.

To remove a dropper, use the "Attack/Destroy" control (left-click, by default). Removing a dropper by hand takes 17.5 seconds (or much faster with a pickaxe) and it will drop itself as an item as well as any contents.

Container

A dropper has 9 slots of inventory space.

To open the dropper GUI, use the "Use Item/Place Block" control (right-click, by default). To move items between the dropper inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the dropper GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. To exit the dropper GUI, use the Esc control.

By default, the GUI of a dropper is labeled "Dropper". A dropper's GUI label can be changed by naming the dropper in an anvil before placing it, or by using the blockdata command (for example, to label a dropper at (0,64,0) "Notch's Dropper", use blockdata 0 64 0 {CustomName:"Notch's Dropper"}).

A dropper can be "locked" by setting the dropper's Lock tag. If a dropper's Lock tag is not blank, the dropper cannot be accessed except by players holding an item with the same name as the Lock tag's text. A dropper's Lock tag can be set or unset with the blockdata command. For example, to lock a dropper at (0,64,0) with the text "Notch's Key", so that only players holding an item named "Notch's Key" can access the dropper, use blockdata 0 64 0 {Lock:"Notch's Key"}.

Redstone component

See also: Redstone circuit

A dropper can be used to eject items, or push items into another container.

Activation
A dropper can be activated by:
  • an adjacent active power component (Exceptions: a redstone torch will not turn ON a dropper it is attached to)
  • an adjacent powered opaque block (strongly-powered or weakly-powered)
  • a powered redstone repeater or redstone comparator facing the dropper
  • powered redstone dust configured to point at the dropper, or on top of it, or a directionless "dot" next to it; a dropper is not activated by adjacent powered redstone dust which is configured to point in another direction.
In addition to the methods above, droppers can also be activated by quasi-connectivity (aka "connectivity" or "indirect power"). A dropper will be activated if one of the methods above would activate a mechanism component in the block above the dropper, even if there is no mechanism component there (even if the block above the dropper is air or a transparent block), but only when the dropper receives a block update (including a redstone update within two blocks of the dropper).
A dropper will not activate if it has been less than 1 redstone tick (0.1 seconds, barring lag) since its last activation ended.
Behavior
When activated, a dropper ejects one item from its inventory. If multiple slots are occupied by items, a random occupied slot will be chosen for ejection.
If the dropper is facing a container, the ejected item will be transferred into the container. Otherwise, the item is ejected in the direction the dropper is facing, as if the player had used the Drop control.
A delay of 2 redstone ticks (0.2 seconds, barring lag) occurs between when the dropper is activated and when it ejects an item. However, the dropper doesn't decide which item to eject until the moment it ejects it, and can even eject an item that was moved into the dropper during the delay.
A dropper makes a clicking noise (the random.click sound event) when activated empty or when ejecting items into air, but is silent when it successfully transfers an item into another container.

A dropper is an opaque block, so powering it directly can cause adjacent mechanism components (including other droppers) to activate as well.

A line of droppers, each pushing items into the next dropper, is known as a dropper pipe. A dropper pipe must be clocked to move items, but can be clocked to move items faster than a hopper pipe's transfer rate. When a dropper pipe pushes items upwards, it is known as a droppervator (short for "dropper elevator").

Data values

Main article: Data values

The dropper has only one possible tile name (minecraft:dropper).

Tile data

The dropper uses its tile data field to store its orientation and activation status:

Bits Values
0x1
0x2
0x4

Three bits storing a value from 0 to 5:

  • 0: Dropper facing down
  • 1: Dropper facing up
  • 2: Dropper facing Template:F
  • 3: Dropper facing Template:F
  • 4: Dropper facing Template:F
  • 5: Dropper facing Template:F
0x8 If set, the dropper is activated.

Tile entity

Every dropper has a tile entity associated with it that holds additional data about the dropper.

  • Tile entity data
    •  id: Dropper
    •  x: X coordinate of the Tile Entity.
    •  y: Y coordinate of the Tile Entity.
    •  z: Z coordinate of the Tile Entity.
    •  CustomName: Optional. The name of this dropper, which will display in its GUI where the default name ordinarily is.
    •  Lock: Optional. When not blank, prevents the dropper from being accessed unless the opener is holding an item whose name matches this string.
    •  Items: List of items in the dropper.
      • : An item, including the slot tag. Dropper slots are numbered 0-8 with 0 in the top left corner.
        • See Item Format.

====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
An axe can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers|tier]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down.

===Mob loot===

==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

A [[vindicator]] spawns with an iron axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.

A [[piglin brute]] spawns with a golden axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. Also, {{in|java}}, [[Zombified Piglin|zombified piglins]] can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a [[Piglin Brute|piglin brute.]]

====Raids====
{{IN|be}}, [[Vindicator]] and [[pillager]]s that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.

===Trading===
Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith|Toolsmith]] [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell a stone axe for one [[emerald]], journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for eight emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 13 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone axe for one emerald, journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith|Weaponsmith]] [[villager]]s sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds as one of their trades, and master-level Weaponsmith villagers sell an enchanted diamond axe for 12 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds. Master-level Weaponsmith villagers always offer to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}

The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Villager gifts ===
[[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw stone axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}

[[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw either stone, gold, or iron axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}

===Structure loot===
{{IN|JE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest always containing an [[Efficiency]] I iron axe.
{{LootChestItem|wooden-axe,stone-axe,random-enchanted-golden-axe,damaged-random-enchanted-netherite-axe,iron-axe}}

==Usage==

===Chopping===
An axe is used to break [[logs]], blocks derived from wood and some other blocks faster than by using other tools. An axe uses 1 durability to break 1 block. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

====Durability====
Each tier of axe has a different durability:

=== Stripping ===
{{control|Using}} an axe on a [[log]], [[wood]] block, [[block of bamboo]]\, or [[block of copper]] causes it to become a [[stripped log]], [[stripped wood]] block, [[block of stripped bamboo]], or removes one layer of oxidization or wax, respectively. This consumes one point of durability from the axe.

===Weapon===
An axe loses 2 points of durability when used as a weapon. 

==== Bedrock Edition ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, axes always attack instantly and deal {{hp|1}} less damage than a [[sword]] of the same quality but it lowers the durability of armor and shields faster than any other tool in-game.

====Java Edition====

Attacking a [[shield]] user with an axe should have a chance to disable the use of the shield for 5 seconds, but currently this always disables a shield.<ref>{{bug|MC-197537}}</ref> The base chance is 25%, plus 5 percentage points per level of [[Efficiency]] on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if attacking while sprinting. [[Vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, or other [[mob]]s with commands always disable the player's shield. Damage done when using an axe as a weapon is more than that of a [[sword]] of the same tier, though they take longer than a sword to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]], resulting in lower <abbr title="Damage/Second">DPS</abbr> (with the exception of [[gold]]en axes).

==Trivia==
*Before [[Java Edition 1.13]], in the language files, axes were referred to as Hatchets.<ref name="1.8 lang">''1.8/assets/minecraft/lang/en_US.lang'', line 915: '''item.hatchetIron.name= Iron Axe'''</ref>
*Weaponsmith villagers gifting stone, iron and golden axes is a reference to the story ''[[wikipedia:The Honest Woodcutter|The Honest Woodcutter]]'', where a woodcutter dropped his axe into a river, and is successively provided a silver and a golden axe by the river god.{{cn}}
