A dropper's GUI label can be changed by naming the dropper in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] before placing it. {{MC/In|java}}, droppers can also be renamed by using the {{MC/Cmd|data}} command (for example, to label a dropper at (0,64,0) "Alice's Dropper", use {{cmd|data merge block 0 64 0 <nowiki>{CustomName:'"Alice's Dropper"'}</nowiki>}}). | ||
{{ | {{MC/In|java}}, a dropper can be "locked" (or subsequently unlocked) by setting the dropper's <code>lock</code> tag with the {{MC/Cmd|data}} command. If a dropper's <code>lock</code> tag is not blank, the dropper cannot be accessed except by players holding an item that matches the item predicate in the <code>lock</code> tag. For example, to lock a dropper at (0,64,0) so that only players holding an item named "Alice's Key" can access the dropper, use {{cmd|data merge block 0 64 0 <nowiki>{lock:{components:{"custom_name":"Alice's Key"}}}</nowiki>}}. | ||

For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]]. |
Template:Infobox block A dropper is a low-capacity storage Minecraft:block that can eject its contents into the world or into other containers when given a Minecraft:redstone signal.
Obtaining
Breaking
A dropper can be mined with a Minecraft:pickaxe, in which case it drops itself and its contents. If mined without a pickaxe, the dropper drops only its contents. Script error: No such module "breaking row".
Crafting
Usage
A dropper can be used as a container or as a redstone component to move items.
A dropper can be placed so that its output faces in any direction, including up or down. When placed, the dropper's output faces toward the player. With default textures, the droppers output side looks like a face when positioned for horizontal output. Otherwise, the output side has a square hole.
in Template:Editions, droppers cannot be moved by Minecraft:pistons.
Container
A dropper has 9 slots of inventory space.
To open the dropper GUI, use the {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}Use Item control. To move items between the dropper inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the dropper GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. To exit the dropper GUI, use the
- REDIRECT Template:Keys
Template:Redr control.
By default, the GUI of a dropper is labeled "Dropper". A dropper's GUI label can be changed by naming the dropper in an Minecraft:anvil before placing it. in Template:Editions, droppers can also be renamed by using the
- REDIRECT Template:Command
Template:Redr command (for example, to label a dropper at (0,64,0) "Alice's Dropper", use Template:Cmd).
in Template:Editions, a dropper can be "locked" (or subsequently unlocked) by setting the dropper's lock tag with the
- REDIRECT Template:Command
Template:Redr command. If a dropper's lock tag is not blank, the dropper cannot be accessed except by players holding an item that matches the item predicate in the lock tag. For example, to lock a dropper at (0,64,0) so that only players holding an item named "Alice's Key" can access the dropper, use Template:Cmd.
Redstone component
{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote A dropper can be used to eject items, or push items into another container.
- Activation
- A dropper can be activated by:
- an adjacent active power component (exceptions: a redstone torch does not turn ON a dropper it is attached to)
- an adjacent powered opaque block (strongly-powered or weakly-powered)
- a powered redstone repeater or redstone comparator facing the dropper
- powered redstone dust configured to point at the dropper, or on top of it; a dropper is not activated by adjacent powered redstone dust that is configured to point in another direction.
- In addition to the methods above, droppers in Template:Editions can also be activated by quasi-connectivity. A dropper activates if one of the methods above would activate a mechanism component in the block above the dropper, even if there is no mechanism component there (even if the block above the dropper is Minecraft:air or a transparent block), but only when the dropper receives a block update (including a redstone update within two blocks of the dropper).
- A dropper has a delay of Script error: No such module "convert". between activation and a response. During this time, additional inputs are ignored.
- in Template:Editions, the dropper can only activate on the input/consumer redstone tick (C-tick).
- Behavior
{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote
- When activated, a dropper waits Script error: No such module "convert". and then ejects one item from its inventory. The dropper does not continue to eject items while activated — ejection occurs only on the initial activation (the rising edge of an input signal). To eject multiple items, repeatedly activate the dropper with a clock circuit.
- If multiple slots are occupied by items, a random occupied slot is chosen for ejection. The slot is chosen when an item is ejected, not when the dropper is initially activated, thus it is possible to move items into or out of a dropper between its activation and item dispensing.
- If the dropper is facing a container, the ejected item is transferred into the container. If the container it is facing is full, or the item cannot be inserted into the container, the dropper does not activate. Examples of containers that items cannot be inserted into include chests that cannot be opened because of a solid block above them, and droppers that are already in an activated state.
- Otherwise, the item is ejected in the direction the dropper is facing, as if a player had used the {{#vardefine: control | Q on keyboard or D-pad down on gamepad }}drop control. Even items that would be treated differently by a Minecraft:dispenser (such as Minecraft:arrows) are simply ejected by a dropper.
- A dropper makes a clicking noise (the
random.clicksound event) when activated empty or when ejecting items into air. It is silent when it successfully transfers an item into any kind of chest or barrel, or another dropper.
- A dropper is an opaque block, so powering it directly can cause adjacent mechanism components (including other droppers) to activate as well.
- A line of droppers, each pushing items into the next dropper, is known as a dropper pipe. A dropper pipe must be clocked to move items, but can be clocked to move items faster than a hopper pipe's transfer rate. When a dropper pipe pushes items upward, it is known as a droppervator (short for "dropper elevator").
- A dropper that is directly powered by redstone will activate before any adjacent droppers activated during the same game tick. In a droppervator or dropper pipe, this has the effect of moving the item in the directly-powered dropper 2 blocks in one game tick. First, the item is ejected from the directly powered dropper. Then, during the same game tick, this item is ejected from the adjacent dropper.
Container interactions
Some containers interact with droppers in specific ways:
- redirect Template:blockLink
- REDIRECT Template:EntityLink,
- redirect Template:blockLink
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers interact normally with barrels, boats with chests, dispensers, and other droppers.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing toward a brewing stand from above deposits only into the ingredient slot and it can insert only valid Minecraft:brewing ingredients. A dropper facing toward a brewing stand from the sides or from below can deposit only blaze powder in the fuel slot, or filled bottles into the three brew slots.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Large chests and large trapped chests are treated as a single container: a dropper depositing into a large chest fills up the entire chest. Trapped chests being accessed by a player trigger any adjacent droppers, depositing items into the chest if they are facing toward it.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing toward a chiseled bookshelf from any direction can insert Minecraft:books, books and quills, written books, enchanted books, and knowledge books.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers can insert ingredients in the crafting grid. Items are distributed in enabled slots, going left to right starting from the first row; if the crafter has all item slots filled then items are added to the lowest count item stack of the same type.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing toward a composter from above can push compostable items into the composter, with a chance of increasing the compost level as if the player used the item on the composter.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers can deposit up to a stack of a single type of item into a decorated pot. Items are not inserted if the decorated pot is full or the pot contains a different item.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers cannot interact with ender chests in any way.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- redirect Template:blockLink
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing toward a furnace from above deposits only into the ingredient slot. It can insert any item, including items that can't be smelted by the furnace. A dropper facing toward a furnace from the sides or from below deposits only into the fuel slot, and only items that are usable as fuel.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing toward a hopper can insert items even if the hopper is locked by an active redstone signal.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper facing towards a shelf can insert items into available slots. It will try to add to a stack of the same type, inserting into the first empty slot if it can't, doing so from left to right. The dropper does not activate if the item cannot fit in the shelf.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- A dropper can insert music discs into a jukebox from any direction. The dropper does not activate if the jukebox is already playing a disc.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers cannot interact with lecterns in any way.
- REDIRECT Template:EntityLink,
- REDIRECT Template:EntityLink
- A dropper can insert items into minecarts with chests and minecarts with hoppers if any part of the entity's hitbox is within the dropper's target block-space. A dropper can fill a minecart with hopper even if the latter has been locked by an activator rail.
- redirect Template:blockLink
- Droppers cannot put shulker boxes into other shulker boxes. Otherwise, droppers interact with shulker boxes normally.
Note blocks
Droppers can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

- Template:Nbt/sprite Items: List of items in this container. Represents the Template:DCL component. The component is still present on the block entity, even if the tag does not exist (due to a loot table existing instead).
- Template:Nbt/sprite: An item, including the slot tag. Dropper slots are numbered 0-8 with 0 in the top left corner.
- Template:Nbt/sprite Lunar: Exists only in the april fools snapshot 23w13a_or_b. Optional. When set to any full number from -128 to 127, turns it to a lunar base dropper, and placing light or heavy pressure plate on top of it creates the lunar base structure.

Issues
Script error: No such module "Issue list".
Trivia
- The dropper is similar in appearance with the Minecraft:dispenser in the fact that they both resemble a face when not facing up or down.
- This similarity is pushed further by the fact that the dropper's crafting recipe is the same as the dispenser but without a bow.
