 Description   

Update by Mega_Spud:
As of 1.1.0.0, the following issues are present:

  • Jack o'Lanterns should be ejected/dropped from a dispenser
  • Dispensers will place Jack o'Lanterns on snow/iron blocks to spawn golems (possible intended PE feature)

See this comment for an updated comparison between PE and Java


Original Description:
Pumpkins, jack o lanterns and wither skulls don't drop when dispensed in a dispenser.

Tested on Windows 10 PC 0.15.0

Dispensers currently:

  • Place Pumpkins & Jack O'Lanterns on top of a partial Golem construction, spawning the Golem. (Should be just Pumpkins that get placed)
  • Do not equip player with Pumpkins or Heads (Should equip into empty helmet armour slot when player is next to dispenser at head height)
  • Eject Jack o'lanterns and Heads, but not Pumpkins (Correct)
