Okay, so we have almost everything we need for auto farms. Except one thing: Auto block placing.
So here's my idea, craft a dispenser with a peice of iron for a block dispenser, this will automatically place an item or block held within it on the block it is aimed at, if said item is a seed of some kind, it will sow the ground. So what do you think? Automatic block placement would be usefull for so many automatic mechanisms!
Not a bad idea. A lot of people probably already thought this up, some of them even posting; though this is the first one I've seen.
It probably would be hard to implement/maintain because of all the glitches I foresee. If you could implement it glitch free, I see no reason for me not to support.

I like the idea!
I believe that this could be an extension to the currently existing dispenser, which already places and picks up buckets of water or lava. If there is a block in front of the dispenser, it should break it and put anything it drops into its own inventory; if there's no block, it should randomly pick something from its inventory and place it (or dispense it if it cannot be placed).
To balance it, I believe it should have the same ability as an unenchanted iron pickaxe, except that breaking a block happens instantly. It should not be able to break obsidian blocks or if it can break them, it should not put the block into its inventory. I believe it should be able to place obsidian like any other block, though.
Has my support.
