Observers (Inputs) and Dispensers (Outputs)
-
Observers - Act like a sensor input, either On or Off
-
Dispenser - Will dispense resources when triggered
If we connect these two blocks with Redstone, one will trigger the other. Can you think of ways to use them in your amazing machine?
This week we will start in a new Template - Badlands. This template is ideal for our final project so we can take a look today.
Step 1 - Load a your world
Try the three build ideas below.
Build 1 (noob) - Using the Dispenser block - As a firework launcher!
Resources you will need
The pressure plate signal is weak so we need a Repeater (like in week 1) to extend the range.
Top Tip - The repeater has to face the way of the signal - so towards the next block.
Build 2 - Use an Observer and a Dispenser
Resources you will need
Don't forget to fill your Dispenser with the things you want it to dispense!!
An observer sends a signal with any change, so when a block both appears and disappears!
Build 3 (Pro) - Linking things together in a chain.
Today's final build you will build an arrow firing range, firework machine!
TOP TIP
To place dispensers in a wall build the wool with wool first then replace the blocks from the top.
