Ingredients match the published snapshot.

Usage

When a redstone signal activates the dropper, it chooses a random non-empty slot. If a compatible container is directly in front, it inserts one item into that container; otherwise it uses the default dispense behavior and drops an item entity in front. A player can open the nine-slot inventory directly.

Sounds

Placement, breaking, falling, hitting, and walking use the stone sound family. Activation also plays the standard dispenser-style click event.
