Dispenser

A dispenser is a low-capacity storage block that can fire projectiles, use certain items and tools, as well as place certain blocks, fluids, or entities when given a redstone signal. Items that do not have unique dispenser functions are instead ejected into the world like a dropper.

Dispensers can be mined using a pickaxe, in which case it drops itself and its contents. If mined without a pickaxe, the dispenser drops only its contents.

A dispenser can be used as a container and as a redstone component that dispenses items when activated, with results varying based on the item dispensed. For example, the trap in a jungle pyramid incorporates arrows inside a dispenser, which shoots the arrows when activated.
