Step 1. Gather the required materials
To craft a dispenser, you will need the following:
- One red ore - Get one redstone block. The red stone is found at a depth of level 16. To get the redstone, you need at least an iron pickaxe.
- Seven cobblestones - Get seven cobblestone blocks (gray rock). This can be done with a pickaxe, even a wooden one.
- Three strands - kill three spiders. This is best done during the day, as the spiders become more aggressive at night.

- You will also need a workbench to create a dispenser.

This will require three sticks and three threads. Add these items to the workbench slots as follows:
- Sticks - add one stick to the bottom middle, left middle and top middle slots.
