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.

'''Jack-O-Lanterns''' are a new feature implemented in the [[Minecraft Halloween Update|Halloween Update]] on October 31<sup>st</sup> 2010. It can be created by combining a [[pumpkin]] and a [[torch]]. They are intended as a purely decorative addition although they can also be used as a light source. Their luminance is somewhat greater than that of the torch. They appear identical to unlit pumpkins in the [[inventory]]. Jack-O-Lanterns and pumpkins are some of the many blocks that are broken more quickly with a [[sword]], but will have double damage on the sword.
Unlike [[chests]], when a dispenser is destroyed, the items inside are gone forever. [[Notch]] has stated that this is a bug: [http://twitter.com/notch/status/26079137957421056].
 
   
  +
As with the pumpkin, a Jack-O-Lantern can only be placed if there is another block below it. However, it will remain in place if you remove the block below it after placing it. Jack-O-Lanterns produce the same amount of light and share the same ability to stay lit underwater as [[glowstone]], making them more effective and reliable than torches.

[[Bow|Arrows]], [[egg]]s, and [[snowball]]s that are stored inside the dispenser are instead fired out (as if they were right-clicked in your inventory).

A powered dispenser will also provide power to dispensers placed above, below, and to both sides of it. This allows for easy creation of large walls of dispensers. A 4x4 dispenser wall needs power to all four corners, and two center dispensers to operate all at once.

When a dispenser dispenses an item, it emits a clicking sound and a puff of smoke. If it is empty when activated, it emits a slightly higher-pitched click.

A dispenser will not work if it is placed underwater, unless all sides, but the face are covered with a block.
 
 
If a dispenser is placed in a 1x1x1 hole and blocks are cleared infront of one of the blocks adjacent to the dispenser, the fired item will pass through the block if the arrow is to be fired West or South ( North being the direction the clouds head ).
