Dispensator
Dispensator allows you to put one item in a dispenser or dropper and have it dispensed on request to everyone who needs it... infinitely. If you wish, you can set it so that people can only carry 1 of whichever item is in the dispensator (so it won't dispense if they have already got one), so it is ideal for things like:
- Tutorials on written books
- Special items and weapons
- Starter kits etc.
The plugin also checks the ground around the dispensator and will not dispense if the item is found nearby.
What is more, you don't need to set up any redstone circuits, the dispensator will work simply by clicking it... however if you want to activate using redstone, dispensing will still be infinite and the One Per Player setting will still be respected.
Features
- Dispense an infinite supply of 1 special item
- Say goodbye to copying books and continually re-writing tutorials
- Restrict dispensing to 1 per person
- Dispense by clicking, or by redstone
- Easy to use
- Minimal configuration (optional)
How to make a Dispensator
- Place a dispenser/dropper
- Look at the dispenser/dropper and use the command "/dispenser create" OR "/disp create"
- Crouch and right click the dispenser/dropper
- Place the item you want it to dispense in the top left corner
- Test by right clicking while NOT crouching

lol thats what im trien to do
Awesome plugin, i'm trying to use this to create a firework show on my server. The plugin works great when right clicking but when I attach a redstone current it fires off the only firework and doesn't replenish itself. I will be EXTREMELY grateful if you can update this for 1.4.6 or fix this issue. Thanks again wonderful plugin!
so far so good =)
I use this on my server, I just gotta say...
Amazing plugin. hopefully it never goes inactive.
Nice =) glad to see you looked into it =)
v1.0.0 has just been uploaded which fixed the dupe bug issue and the permissions issue allowing players to edit dispensator contents

I've been able to replicate this on my server. I think I know what's causing it and I'll have a new build up as quick as a flash.
Watch this space.
@tarahere81
Exact same behaviour on my server on bukkit 1.4.5 r3 #2493. This plugin is inactive now on my server cause of major issue. It should be fixed as soon as possible. It's a great plugin ;)
Probably these bukkit issue tickets can help find out how to fix it: https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2898 https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2886
Hi! Your plugin seems really awesome , but it has 1 major bug =(
Any player can make a dispenser without any dispensator permissions, put anything they want in it without crouching, and hit the trigger andd the item keeps coming out . Great way to dupe any item in the game.
I testedd it with beginners, members, all ranks and same thing they call all duplicate with no permissions. I double checked my permissions config file. Nothing in there.
I noticed this on my server when someone decided to make a chicken lag machine... the dispensers were not created with /dispenser create and were duplicating eggs so there were 1700 chickens in a small area.
Using 0.0.2 dispensator / bukkit 1.4.5 r2 2488 build
Come to my server if u want to see it duplicated : pwing.net
Will this work with more than one item in a dispenser? In other words, will it keep the 'random' function of dispensers?
any chance you can also add chest support and add a timer to how often a chest restocks with an item? :)
depends what permission and what ranks you have that you want to add it to jason8100.
If it is bpermissions you use , the command is:
/exec g:xxx a:addperm v:dispensator.use
where xxx is the rank you want players to use the dispensators .. (ex.beginners)
I would like this plugin alot if i could get it to work, im not experienced with permissions and i can't get the dispensators working for players beside op's. How do this?
Thanks in advance,
Jason
Loving this plugin, I only wish I could customize individual dispensers as well.
For example, I'm running a RPG/Survival server, I have been using this dispensers mod quite strongly to spawn an infinite supply of books containing the quest info. However, I am also creating dungeons for this server. If I could have my dungeons dispense 1 per player only in those dungeons only, it would help significantly.
In other words, a per dispenser set of options would be much appreciated. Dispenser A. can spawn an infinite amount of books, but Dispenser B. can only spawn 1 sword per player.
Just a small suggestion. Keep up the great work, loving the plugin so much. :)
OK... in case you though I didn't ROCK .....
v0.0.2 has just been uploaded pending approval
0.0.2
Added: Configurable drop radius for checking nearby items
Added: Option to limit dispensing to one per player OR NOT
Added: Check in all nearby Players' inventories for dispensed item (if onePerPlayer is active)
Added: Allow triggering using redstone, while maintaining the 1 per player limit (if set)
Added: Commands to set and toggle settings
Added: Current setting info to /disp (with no arguments)
You may bow before me.
Hi guys... sorry I just realised I hadn't hit the comment subscription! I wasn't getting any notifications about your comments!
@Kaank56
Yes there are chinks in the spam protection... and I'm afraid it would be a really heavy tweak to check for things like a chest full of the dispensed item. My suggestion there would be to put the Dispensator somewhere where people can't build.
As far as working with someone else to spam it is concerned, again yes this is possible. Would it help to scan ALL nearby players inventory and prevent dispensing if ANYONE holds it, or would that just annoy legit players?
@andermoranzz
Drop radius config.... doh! why didn't I think of that!? That will be going in!
@EduardoTA
The problem with allowing a redstone signal is that it makes scanning the radius very tricky, since it has not been triggered by a player (which is currently the source of the radius). If anyone has some knowledge of this and can make a suggestion, please advise.
good plugin
@Redstoner_Pro
Okay how about if I drop it and have someone else loot it?
I recommend making a config so that the players cannot abuse this. You can go up to the dispensentator and bring a chest. You can repetively just place the items in ur chest until you get 64. Also could you make a config for the drop radius? Other than that it is flawless, keep it up.

Maybe try reading the full description.
