FIGURE 6.16 Simplified layout for a water dispenser harvester.
The dispenser layout is easier to build than the water-drop used previously but also more
resource-intensive because dispensers require redstone, an undamaged bow, cobblestone,
and, in this case, a bucket filled with water.
Place the dispenser with its outlet facing the crops. Then right-click the dispenser to open
its own inventory window. Place a full water bucket in one of the slots. Your dispenser is
