Doing Redstone how Mojang Intended (Then doing it better)

  • I recently purchased the Minecraft guide to redstone, an official Mojang product designed to teach people how to use Redstone. Learning redstone is hard, and every redstone circuit in Minecraft has it's use, with thousands of variations of all the Minecraft redstone circuits. This Mojang Approved redstone guide is a very good starting point, but it definitely has some odd builds! In this Minecraft redstone video we take the Mojang approved redstone contraptions and improve Mojangs redstone.

      @@jackofalltradeshermes if bedrock works as intended, then I’m happy Java got it broken. As a bedrock redstoner, it can say that bedrock redstone is terrible, it’s very buggy and random. One time I built a pillar of observers attached to a slime pillar getting pushed by a piston, these observers powered pistons, it was completely random which pistons actually activated, some would fire, some wouldn’t, and next time it would be different. It’s terrible.

He gives you a world download with all the materials you need, and then in each segment he teaches you a new redstone circuit and then gives you a goal of something to create. You pause the video, build the contraption in your own world, and then keep watching to see how Mumbo would solve the same problem. (Just note, there are some errors importing it to 1.16.

      @@harryhelina9859 I watched the video again after two years of making that comment to give you an answer. Something like that could be ideal for a minigame in which you have teams, each with a colored leather armor. In order to restock the armor, you swap the armor stands.
      Generally speaking, no, you won't have more than one standard armor and the one you save in case you die and need to recover your good armor and don't want to go naked.

      I think the original design is actually perfect, cheap, and just enough armor stands for most players. A stand for gold armor for Bastions, another for everyday netherite gear, still another for elytra, turtle helmet, and other specialized armor.

    Instead of wither roses, campfires are preferable, because they are cheaper to source, and work the same way, if you have a hopper below them. If you want, you can replace the minecart hopper with 12 hoppers, in this example. The timer/clock would be much cheaper with a repeater, a torch, and some redstone. The repeater goes into a redstone dust, to the left/right of which is a block with a redstone dust on it, going back towards the repeater is a redstone torch on the side of that block with redstone dust on it, then two two more redstone dust are on the opposite side of the redstone repeater and redstone torch when compared to the other 2 redstone dust, and you have a more compact timer clock. As a side note: _blessed be the waifu!_

    with the first redesign, it might have been cool to keep the 1 block high passage, but add an automatic trapdoor hidden behind a banner or as a wall decoration. stand in the right spot, place the torch, the passage opens, the torch gets broken, and the trapdoor pushes you down so you can crawl through the passage!

    My biggest problem with redstone is how gated the better designs are. You need to have slime and access to the nether. Some servers I've been on save nether travel as a special server wide event, so I have to build with the old methods until I'm allowed to use quarts. It's useful knowing how to make old contraptions like the piston clock. Personally, I prefer the 5 minute clock (arrow shooting at a button or an item dropping.) 9:40 I made something like that pre combat update, but my blocks extended from the roof and had a timer set so it would shuffle the layout depending on how long you took. I aligned them in a 20x20 grid, making an ever changing maze. It was one of my most annoying builds, but it was worth the time to see other player's frustrations as they try to navigate it. My timers were a mix of hopper clocks, 5 minute clocks, and daylight sensors. The maze was also lightless. I used slabs as the floor and lit them up from below to make a glowing edge lighting effect.
