Since dispensers are getting upgrades for certain items in the dispensers now days I thought what if they drop sand and gravel down as solid blocks rather than spitting them out as items. Could be useful for automatic hole fillers and also automatic bridge builders (if you add a piston). That's all the uses I can think of at the moment but what are your opinions?
I'm not sure if sand should be it, but I do think there should be some sort of item which can be put into a dispenser, which will come out as a block, and can be turned back into an item under certain circumstances, without the player mining/shearing/breaking it.
If sand were changed in this way, it would be trivial to create an arbitrarily large door, with only a tiny bit of redstone.

I think you should include concrete powder to the mix as well since it is also affected by gravity. I think the idea is pretty good and would add new combinations for redstone mechanisms.
Stay fluffy~

That would be sick. Support.
Here's a better idea, make a block which is *like* a dispenser, but whose sole purpose is to place blocks.
