Required Materials to make a Dispenser

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a dispenser:

redstone dust 1 Redstone Dust cobblestones 7 Cobblestones bow 1 Bow

How to craft a Dispenser in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Dispenser

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a dispenser, place 7 cobblestones, 1 bow, and 1 redstone dust in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a dispenser, it is important that the cobblestones, bow, and redstone dust are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 cobblestones. In the second row, there should be 1 cobblestone in the first box, 1 bow in the second box, and 1 cobblestone in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 cobblestone in the first box, 1 redstone dust in the second box, and 1 cobblestone in the third box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a dispenser.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the dispenser will appear in the box to the right.
