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 mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

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. 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) "Alice's Dropper", use blockdata 0 64 0 {CustomName:"Alice's Dropper"}).
A dropper can be "locked" (or subsequently unlocked) by setting the dropper's Lock tag with the blockdata command. 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. For example, to lock a dropper at (0,64,0) so that only players holding an item named "Alice's Key" can access the dropper, use blockdata 0 64 0 {Lock:"Alice's Key"}.
Redstone component
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.clicksound 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
A dropper has an ID name of minecraft:dropper, and is further defined by its block data and block entity. A dropper also has a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.
Block data
A dropper's block data specifies its orientation and activation status:
| Bits | Values |
|---|---|
| 0x1 0x2 0x4 |
A three-bit field storing a value from 0 to 5 specifying which direction the dropper is facing:
|
| 0x8 | Set if dropper is activated. |
Block entity
Every dropper has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the dropper:
- Block entity data
- id:
Dropper - x: X coordinate of the Block Entity.
- y: Y coordinate of the Block Entity.
- z: Z coordinate of the Block 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.
- : An item, including the slot tag. Dropper slots are numbered 0-8 with 0 in the top left corner.

'''Cookies''' are [[food]] items that can be obtained in large quantities, but do not restore hunger or saturation significantly.
== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level farmer [[villager]]s sell 18 cookies for 3 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|B2= Cocoa Beans
|C2= Wheat
|Output= Cookie,8
|type= Foodstuff
}}
=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, if the [[player]] has the [[Hero of the Village]] effect, a farmer villager may gift them a cookie.
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
To eat a cookie, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 hunger
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Parrots ===
Feeding a cookie to a [[parrot]] kills the parrot instantly, and causes it to give off [[Poison]] [[particles]] as it dies due to chocolate being toxic to parrots.
{{IN|Bedrock}}, feeding a cookie to a parrot inflicts the parrot with [[Fatal Poison]] for 1,000 seconds.
=== Composting ===
Placing a cookie into a [[composter]] has an 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
Considering the high yield of cookies (8 cookies from 1 cocoa bean and 2 wheats) and the higher chance to successfully compost a cookie (85%), it is more efficient to craft cookies to compost rather than using separate ingredients. For example, 100 wheats and 50 cocoa beans, which in total could yield only 13.92 bone meal on average, could be crafted into 400 cookies to yield 48.57 bone meal on average.

'''Wheat''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained by harvesting fully-grown [[Wheat Seeds|wheat crops]]. It is used for [[crafting]] as well as to feed certain animals.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
{{LootChestItem|wheat}}
=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}
When a fully-grown wheat crop is harvested, it drops 1 wheat and 1 to 4 [[wheat seeds]] ({{frac|2|5|7}} per crop harvested on average). A wheat crop has a total of eight stages (0-7) from the time it is planted until it can be harvested. If a crop is harvested before it is fully grown, it just drops one seed. Wheat needs light to grow; a seed is destroyed if planted without light. Harvesting with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool increases the number of seeds dropped but does not increase the yield of wheat.
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Hay Bale
|Output= Wheat,9
|type= Material
}}
=== Drops ===
A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding wheat, which it always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the wheat.
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
[[File:New Cattle.png|thumb|Using wheat to lead a cow.]]
When wheat is held, it causes nearby [[cow]]s, [[sheep]], [[goat]]s and [[mooshroom]]s to follow the player, until either the player stops holding the wheat or goes too far away from the animal, thus leading them to lose interest.
Wheat may be used to [[breed]] cows, sheep, goats, and mooshrooms by first herding two of them together and then {{control|using}} the wheat on them to begin "Love Mode."
Wheat can heal a [[horse]] {{hp|1}} health or lower its temper by 3% when attempting to tame it. It can also decrease the time it takes for a foal to grow by 20 seconds.
Similarly, wheat can heal a [[llama]] {{hp|2}} health, and it decreases the time it takes a baby llama to grow by 10 seconds.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Trading ===
Novice-level farmer [[Villager|villagers]] have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 20 wheat for one [[emerald]].
=== Composting ===
Placing wheat into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of wheat yields an average of 5.94 [[bone meal]].
