AntVenom, a YouTuber, recently found an ingenious method to use a dispenser to make pulsing power for redstone mechanisms. This contraption is useful, as it can limit the number of pulses sent. It can also just be for handing out items in a slow and steady manner.

Steps

1. 1

   Place a dispenser down, and a wooden pressure plate in front of it.

2. 2

   Connect the dispenser and the pressure plate with redstone.

3. 3

   Invert the signal by using a solid block with a torch on the other side or on top of the block with redstone going into it. As power comes in, the torch turns off, inverting the signal. Use the inverter on the redstone wire.

4. 4

   Place a big stack of items in the dispenser. Arrows do not work, as it flies over the pressure plate. Disconnect and reconnect the redstone wire to start it up.

   • You will notice that as items hit the pressure plate, it sends a signal to the dispenser to drop more items onto the pressure plate.

5. 5

   To use as a pulser, put 2 multiplied by how many times you want it to pulse of items into the dispenser, as two items are released on each pulse.

Add New Question

• Question

  Can I also use a dropper?

  

  Yes, both droppers and dispensers work, although droppers are recommended since it can drop out all items.

• Question

  Do I have to fill the dispenser with diamonds?

  

  No, you can fill it with any item! Be aware that if you put something like a spawn egg in, it will spawn something, not release the egg.

• Question

  Why can't I get this to work in Minecraft PE?

  

  Because when you put the Redstone Torch on the dispenser (or dropper) it wouldn't work. To do this you need to squint, and then put the Redstone Torch down.

• Question

  How do I make a server?

  

  This varies greatly on what type of server. If you want to do something semi-professional, or to support server-side mods (such as world-edit, mini-games, etc.) then look into Spigot or Sponge (in-dev). Otherwise, you can grab a copy of the official server (Vanilla) from the Minecraft website.

• Question

  Do I need to put all the diamonds in?

  

  No. You just have to place a large stack in the dispenser. It doesn't really matter how many you put inside; just put in as many as you want.

• Question

  Will the dispenser multiply the diamonds?

  No, that is called an item dupe and those are hard to make. So, no it will not multiply the diamonds, just give you as many diamonds as you put in the dispenser.

• Question

  This does not work on my Nintendo Switch. Why?

  

  The Nintendo Switch is an unsupported platform, it is rather newer, so this is not supported yet. This should be added/fixed soon.

• Using two dispenser loops can output two times the items.

• There may be a stray item thrown too far from the dispenser.

• You can replace the pressure plate with a lever, so when you switch it on and off, it will still give you whatever's in the dispenser.

• The compact version does not require any redstone dust.

• To increase the amount of time between each pulse, insert a redstone repeater into the circuit.

• Don't use a stone pressure plate!
