Hello!
Letting you know that there currently is a bug with auto-crafting dispensers with the recipe book that when you are trying to automatically craft Dispensers. This bug prevents the auto-crafting of Dispensers, instead, the game is wanting to auto-craft Droppers for some reason. This happens even when only the required materials are in the player inventory. I have to manually drag the NON-damaged bow into the middle of the dispenser crafting recipe (NOTE: NO I AM NOT TRYING TO CRAFT A DISPENSER WITH DAMAGED BOW[S] OR ENCHANTED BOWS, give me some credit)
I can also give you the circumstances of which/how I am acquiring damaged bows. I recently made a Skeleton EXP/Bone grinder in my Single Player, 1.14 Minecraft world to help me be able to enchant my armor, weapons, and tools much easier. That is how I am acquiring many damaged bows. I am repairing them in the new grindstone block and (rarely) an anvil. I don't know if these circumstances are the reasons for this bug being found, but hey, just some food for thought.
Thank you for the help and I am hoping that this bug is fixed in the near future!
Sincerely,
~ A Dedicated Fan~
