Summary
The Block Dispenser varies from the regular Item Dispenser by placing actual blocks, working Minecarts, Boats and Redstone (Wire) in front of it. It also dispenses its contents in order from left to right. When receiving power the dispenser will place the object and when power is cut, the dispenser will remove it.

Applications
- Floodgate

- Torch (Will flick on, then off and remain off)
- Will be powered once when power is place to the dispenser.
- Will be powered twice (once when power is received and once when cut) when power is run on the top of the dispenser.
- Repeater - Will always be powered. (Doesn't need to have redstone wire on top)
- As of 2.92, Will not pick up Wheat that has not fully matured.
- When it picks up something in front of it, only that item will enter the Block Dispenser inventory (i.e: If picking up wheat, and seeds that would have been dropped if it had been broken normally by hand will not appear at all either inside the Dispenser or on the ground).
