	A '''dispenser''' is a low-capacity storage [[Minecraft:block]] that can fire [[Minecraft:projectile]]s, use certain items or tools or place certain blocks, fluids or entities when given a [[Minecraft:redstone]] signal. Items that do not have unique dispenser functions are instead ejected [[Minecraft:Item (entity)\|into the world]].

	A dispenser can be used as a container and as a [[Minecraft:redstone component]] that dispenses items when activated, with results varying based on the item dispensed.

	A dispenser can be "locked" by setting the dispenser's <code>lock</code> tag.
