How to make a Dispenser in Minecraft to store and dispense stackable items?

In Minecraft, a Dispenser is a solid block which is used to store and dispense items. It has the ability to store up to 9 stackable items and dispense them once they are activated using a Redstone device. These are used to automatically shoot projectiles at mobs. So, let’s take a look at how you can make a Dispenser in Minecraft.

How to make a Dispenser in Minecraft?

Step 1: Materials required to make a Dispenser in Minecraft

• One Redstone ore – You will need one Redstone block. An iron pickaxe (or higher) can be used for mining Redstone ore.
• Seven Cobblestone blocks – You need to mine seven blocks of grey Cobblestone. This can be done using a pickaxe. A wooden pickaxe will work.
• Three pieces of String – For this, you will actually need to kill three spiders. It is suggested that you do so sometime during the day as spiders tend to become far more aggressive at night.
• One block of Wood – A block of wood can be chopped off from any of the trees in Minecraft. In case you don't have a crafting table, you will need to chop one extra block.
• A crafting table will be required for crafting a Dispenser.

Sticks

String

• One string in each row of the right-hand column

Once the bow is ready, you need to move it into the inventory.

The Redstone is the last ingredient required for creating a Dispenser. You will see a dispenser icon, represented by a grey box with a hole inside. You can find it on the right side of the grid.
