In-Depth Information
Dispensers
—The dispenser pumps out almost anything that's been put inside.
Typically used for firing arrows, supplying a flood of water, and, well, an enorm-
ous range of things, they're an indispensable (sorry) part of any automated system.
Hoppers
—Hoppers move items between other objects. Although hoppers don't
rely on power, they'll stop transferring contents out or in when they receive a sig-
nal from the side.
TNT
—TNT is the most destructive force in Minecraft, except for a creeper that's
been hit by lightning, and that's incredibly rare. Set it off with a power pulse or use
a minecart crafted with TNT to create a rolling disaster zone that's set off by an ac-
tivator rail. Craft TNT with gunpowder collected from slain creepers (that's easier
to say than to do) and regular sand.
