API documentation for dispensers

The dispensers API allows you to add custom code which is called when a particular item is dispensed. Just add the _on_dispense function to the item definition. By default, items are just thrown out as item entities.

Additional fields for item definitions

_on_dispense(stack, pos, droppos, dropnode, dropdir)

This is a function which is called when an item is dispensed by the dispenser. These are the parameters:

  • stack: Itemstack which is dispense. This is always exactly 1 item
  • pos: Position of dispenser
  • droppos: Position to which to dispense item
  • dropnode: Node of droppos
  • dropdir: Drop direction

By default (return value: nil), the itemstack is consumed by the dispenser afterwards. Optionally, you can explicitly set the return value to a custom leftover itemstack.

_dispense_into_walkable

By default, items will only be dispensed into non-walkable nodes. But if this value is set If true, the item can be dispensed into walkable nodes.
