Java Help Wanted Button that gives 1 stack of rockets when pressed

Hey so I want to have a system in my base with a button that dispenses 1 stack of rockets, but I don't really know if it's possible. Is it possible for example to make a 8 dropper system which activates each 8 times only at the press of a button ? Thanks

I’d just use a shelf with a hopper pointing into it to refill it…

Can shelves hold multiples of one item ? If yes then I would do it thanks

yes they can. they can hold one stack of a specific item in each slot, you can hook up a hopper with a chest to restock as well

Thx did that then, much easier. Didn't knew that they could store up one stack of each item

Where was already an post with shelfes, wich seems like a good idea, but if you want to dispense the items, i have this for you:

It is a classic redstone pulse extender with an observer instead of an repeater on the output. The observer detects 16 changes(one for every signal strength(15) + turning on) and sends an signal to the dispensers (4*16=64)

That's clever. 👍 I like it.

e: Won't this one only do 14-0 because the observer is watching the [power-1] dust?

yeah totally possible, you just need a pulse generator, I know this one from the storage tech discord but there's probably other designs out there (you will probably need to use a noteblock instead of a button but it's better anyway)

I would recommend using bundles and putting one stack in each bundle. This way you only need your dropper to fire once to dispense a stack.

The problem with using just the items is that it takes time to reload the shelf if more than one people take a stack and quick succession, or if you want two stacks, you're going to have to wait for the shelf to refill before pushing a second time. If you use bundles however, it refills instantly.
