Dispensers Fill Item Frames Placed over the Front

Dispensers already make good randomizers, but this allows you to have it work as a display. This is an improvement over just dropping the item in that it's more visible, looks nicer, and doesn't despawn.

You could of course do this with command blocks, but it helps if you want to build mini-games strictly without cheats.

I figure limiting it to a frame placed on the Dispenser makes the most sense, no hassle trying to figure out which item frames it should prioritize.

    I agree completely.  I thought this would be for a shop to use red stone to display what items are in stock and remove items that are out of stock.

    Definitely. However, there should be a way to empty an item frame, like using an item frame on the item frame. Also, the items that come out when a new item is placed on the item frame should be either put back in a dispenser or dropped, for a hopper to possibly pick up.

    I want to create an automated ATLAS using indexed maps, but the final display would need to present specific maps on the ITEM FRAMEs in an array 5x5.  Having a trigger to eject to a FRAME would be awesome.
