StepsPart
- 1 Collect the resources necessary to make a dispenser. You must collect the following items if you don’t already have them in order to make a dispenser: One redstone ore – Mine one redstone block Redstone occurs at a depth of 16 blocks down. To mine redstone ore, you need a pickaxe that is iron or better. Seven cobblestone blocks – Mine seven pieces of grey rock. To do this, a pickaxe is required, though a wooden pickaxe may be used. Three pieces of string – Kill three spiders. Since spiders become more aggressive at night, it is best to do this during the day. Chop a single block of wood from any available tree in the game. Cut a spare block if you don’t have a crafting table. To make a dispenser, you’ll also need a crafting desk.
- 2 Craft wooden planks. To do this, open the quick crafting menu by pressing X (Xbox 360/One) or the square button (PS3/PS4), make sure the wooden planks icon is selected, and then tap A (Xbox 360/One) or X (PS3/PS4).
- 3 Craft a bundle of sticks. You can do this by pressing A (on Xbox) or X (on PlayStation) after scrolling right one space from the plank icon.
- 4 Tap B or the circle button on your controller. Doing so will exit the inventory.
- 5 Open the crafting table. To do this, turn to face the table and pull the left trigger on your controller. If you don’t already have a crafting table, you can make one by pressing X (on Xbox) or the square button (on PlayStation), moving the cursor four spaces over, and then pressing A (on Xbox) or X (on PlayStation). The crafting table must be set down on the ground in order to be used.
- 6 Craft a bow. To do this, first select the “Tools and Weapons” tab by pressing the right shoulder button (above the right trigger) once. Then, scroll over to the bow icon and press A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation) to complete the action.
- 7 Craft your dispenser. To do this, open the “Mechanisms” tab by tapping the right shoulder button three times. Then, scroll down to the funnel icon, press up on the left stick to choose the dispenser, and press A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation) to activate it. Your dispenser will immediately be deposited into your inventory.

How do you unlock a dispenser in Minecraft?

What is the difference between a dispenser and a dropper in Minecraft?
The answer is that dispensers use some things (TNT, bonemeal, armor), place other things (water source blocks, boats), and shoot some things (fireworks, arrows, fire charges). Droppers? They just drop them. If you drop bonemeal onto the ground with a dropper, it won’t be applied to a nearby plant.
