What’s changed with dispensers?

Well, dispensers have become even more useful. They now understand how to use items rather than just dispense. For example, if you power a dispenser with Redstone and then add TNT, the dispenser will eject the TNT but also ignite it!

The same applies for flint and steel, which allows you to start fires from dispensers! Bone meal can also be used to increase the growth of nearby crops.

Best of all - dispensers can now equip armour which makes them great for custom maps like Super Craft Bros.

Bonemeal has been nerfed!

Unfortunately, bonemeal has lost its potency in this snapshot. It now takes double the amount of bonemeal to spurn crop growth so those auto farms are going to take a beating. Seems like an unfair nerf to us, so we might see this one reversed back.
