i have no idea if this is even possible in the game nevermind on skyblock or if its already a thing i dont know about but i would love to be able to do the chest shop feature but on dispensers/droppers (i still get confused over the difference) for example i have a load of enchanted books i dont want and i want to sell on my island but because they are all different enchantments and levels, i can't put them in a single chest shop but if they were in a dropper hypothetically i could sell and advertise them as you pay one price and get a random enchanted book (same goes for like random armor dropped from mobs) please tell me if this makes no practical sense
There's a device that does exactly this on my island on economy, in the far south-west corner. It has some signs that explains things. If you stock the shop you have to put in at least two unstackable items (if it's initially empty) and click anywhere in the shop chest to load a cobble or whatever item you sell for the price you want.
i just looked at it and its really awesome !! wish there was a simpler or more compact way to do it though thats as simple as the chest shop function D:
I feel like this would make sense if there is a way to see everything inside the shop. If not, it would be a good way to scam people. I like the idea though.
yeah totally makes sense!! personally i'd love it if there was a setting to choose whether to show what is actually in it? like so you can do it where someone pays for a random item and they dont know what they'll get OR you can use it to sell multiple items at once at the same price... can totally see why there might be problems with a randomised shop though
Your description perfectly fits the functionality of casinos Just build a mini casino and make the odds 1/1 lol
the difference used to confuse me a bunch too. dispensers USE the item thats in it, which droppers just release the item. for example, if you put a water bucket in a dispenser and activate it, the bucket will stay inside and become empty, and a water source will come out in front of the dispenser. if you put a water bucket in a dropper and activate it, itll just shoot out a water bucket item dispensers can shear sheep and shoot arrows!! but droppers will just eject them as items. for what you’re suggesting, you’d want to use a dropper. there are currently ways to do this with redstone comparators. i can’t quite exactly explain how to do that here, but i suggest checking out adrian’s island on economy
this explanation makes so much sense!! thank you also thanks for the suggestion i checked out adrian's island already and it definitely works but it's sooooo confusing to me haha... basically just wish there was a more compact version that functions like the chest shop does </3 i can keep dreaming if i get the time i might try and build one myself eventually :3 thanks anyway
