Steps To Make A Dispenser
Step 1. Open Your Crafting Menu
First, let's open your crafting table in Minecraft. You should see the same grid as in the image below.
Step 2. Add The Items To The Menu
In the crafting table, add the Redstone dust, 7 cobblestones, and bow to the grid.
You must add the redstone dust, cobblestone blocks, and bow to the grid exactly as shown in the image below. In the 1st row place down 3 cobblestones, one in each box. In the 2nd row place 1 cobblestone in the 1st box, 1 bow in the 2nd box, and 1 cobblestone in the 3rd box. In the 3rd row place 1 cobblestone in the 1st box, the Redstone dust in the 2nd box, and finally 1 cobblestone in the 3rd box. This is the Minecraft dispenser recipe.
Now that you've added the items to the grid as described above, you'll notice a dispenser appear in the box on the right.
Step 3. Move The Dispenser To Your Inventory
After crafting the dispenser, you'll need to drag it down to your inventory so you can use it.
That's it! You now have a dispenser. A Minecraft dispenser is a block used as a redstone powered component that can store up to 9 items and dispense them when activated.
