The Block Dispenser varies from the regular Dispenser by placing actual blocks, working Minecarts, Boats and Redstone Dust 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.
