A data pack & mod for 1.21 that allows dispensers to place blocks in front of them when dispensed.
Features
- When a dispenser dispenses a block, if possible, it will be placed.
- Blocks will be rotated the same direction as the dispenser is.
- Blocks placed in water will be waterlogged.
- Optimized for performance on servers, such that placing dispensed items is not a lag-intensive operation.
- Can work together with Adamanti's Dispenser Minecarts data pack.
Limitations
- A player standing too close to a dispenser will instantly pick up a block before the data pack is able to place it.
- Bugs related to blocks placed on incorrect surfaces may appear, although there are checks included to prevent most of them.
- May possibly work on future versions, but newly added blocks won't be placed.
