There's a bug where you can turn a dropper into a dispensator, but you can't remove the dispensator attribute from a dropper.

Love the plug-in. The inventory and ground checking idea is genius. ;-) I only wish it had one more feature: the ability to give out a random item instead of just one.

Combined with a per player or per dispenser cooldown setting, this would allow players to take (or compete to take) one random item (say a piece of armor, or a food item ) then have to wait until they could come back to try for another. But otherwise all the checking rules apply.

An optional* workaround you can implement would be to refill a "dispensator" every time the plugin detects that it has been "emptied". Here's how it could work, mechanic-wise.

1. When you turn a dispenser/dropper into a dispensator, the plugin takes a snapshot of its inventory.
2. When one or more slots inside the dispensator become depleted (so the plugin ignores inventory slots that were never used), the plugin refills the dispensator back to the snapshot from before (in essence, it "restores" the dispensator).
3. The above might require some kind of "check" every time a dispensator dispenser/dropper fires out an item, which could make the plugin more heavyweight, so an alternative could be to impose a check only if the plugin finds out a dispensator is completely empty. Less desirable, but possibly "lighterweight".

*When I say optional, I mean one of two ways you can implement it. Either have an option in the config like this:
refillcheck: boolean
Or, you could add a "refillcheck" flag on a per-dispensator basis, so only some dispensators get checked and others don't.

I can confirm the "emptying themselves due to a fast redstone pulse" bug. I wasn't sure if it was just me or the plugin. No stack traces pop up in the console for any of these issues, however.

I'm not sure about the "dispensers firing the wrong way" issue though, I haven't seen it myself.

It appears that this plugin doesn't support droppers, and dispensers that aren't facing sideways (e.g. up/down).

every few days , a dispensator with a book, randomly resets and the book disapears.

I have no idea what causes this.

I use books in dispensers on my server as clues on how to finish their journies (quests) for treasures and rewards..

Any idea whats going on ? Cuz i dont ! hehe

This plugin is REALLY glitchy with water buckets. It causes a wierd dupe bug.
