What you’ll build

Open your own test lab. You'll set up a dispenser with a button and try different things inside: water, fireworks pointed at the sky and arrows aimed at a target. Predict what each will do, test it safely and write down your results.

Finish line: You've safely tested at least three items in a dispenser and can explain what each one did.

Bonus challenge: Line up 3 firework dispensers and join them to one button with redstone dust for a bigger show.

You’ll need

  • Dispensers
  • Buttons
  • Water bucket
  • Fireworks
  • Arrows
  • Target block

You choose

  • Which item to test first
  • Firework colours for the show
  • Where the test area goes

Stuck?

  • Tapping the dispenser opens it. Sneak first, then place the button on it.
  • Want it to point at the sky? Look down at the spot as you place it, and it will face up.
  • Always aim at the sky or the target block, never at pets, animals or people.
