Frequently asked questions

How do I start using this mod after installing it?
The mod includes a Default Dispenser Configurators data pack that's enabled by default, so dispensers will immediately have enhanced behaviors for common items. To create your own custom behaviors, you'll need to add JSON files to a data pack following the mod's configuration format—check the guides on creating custom dispenser behaviors to get started.
What's the difference between ITEM_USE and BLOCK_USE?
ITEM_USE applies the item's normal right-click behavior (like eating food or drinking potions), while BLOCK_USE targets blocks in the world and applies interactions to them (like fertilizing crops or activating mechanisms). Choose based on whether you want the dispenser to use the item itself or use it on a block.
Can I make a dispenser plant seeds automatically?
Yes—configure the dispenser with BLOCK_USE targeting farmland blocks, and assign seed items to plant on those blocks. The guide "Make a Dispenser Plant Crops or Fertilize Blocks" walks through the exact setup.
How do I configure multiple items with the same behavior?
Use item tags instead of individual items in your configuration. This lets you group items (like all types of seeds or all fertilizers) and assign one behavior to the entire tag, which is much faster than configuring each item separately.
