The Easy Potion Dispenser
What it does:
Throws a Potion out at you when you run up and bump it (no need to click
on this one).
How it works:
A Dispenser is placed on a block, a Fence is placed in front of the block and
Dispenser, and on top of the Fence is a Pressure Plate. When you run up to the Pressure Plate
and push your crafter into it, it will press down, and whatever is in the Dispenser will launch
out (Potions, in this case)
You'll Need:
1 Dispenser, 1 Fence, 1 Pressure Plate, 1 random block (optional, Dispenser
could hang in the air), whatever Potions you want to dispense
Another quite simple little doohickey, the easy Potion dispenser makes taking Potions in
Minecraft about as easy as it can be. Typically, you have to open your inventory or go to
your hot bar and actually use a potion, or even run up to a Dispenser and push a Button or
pull a Lever to get one to launch out at you. However, with the Easy Potion Dispenser, all
you have to do is run up and bump the Pressure Plate, and you'll be smartly splashed with
Potion.
1. Place a block
of any kind down.
2. Put a Dispenser
on top of this block.
3. Fill the Dispenser
with a Potion of your choosing. This will actually work with anything
a Dispenser can dispense at you, but Potions are one of the most useful options in this con-
figuration.
4. Stand so the Dispenser
is facing you (the side with the O-shaped hole) and look down at
the block it is sitting on. Place one Fence on the block that is in front of this block that the
Dispenser is on.
5. Place a Pressure Plate
on top of the one Fence you have just placed.
6. Run up to the Pressure Plate,
and it will press down and the Potion (or whatever else
you've got in the Dispenser) will launch out. This is the Pressure Plate activating from in-
teracting with your body and powering the Dispenser, which fires a random item inside of it
at you.
