- Did you know that there computers in Minecraft, built entirely out of redstone? Neither did I, until I fell into one of the internet's many rabbit holes, and eventually came out the other end with this video.
Use code : "Hellcastle" in the hypixel store when checking out to support the channel :)

Creator of the CHUNGUS 2 here. Really enjoyed the video! I do have a couple nitpicks:
- All of mattbatwings' creations, while extremely impressive, are not actually CPUs as they are dedicated to run one particular game/purpose
- There have been quite a few other CPUs built in the period after the 1.5 update before the QCPU that use techniques such as pipelining to achieve very high clock speeds (>1Hz), although these aren't particularly well-known as they didn't run many meaningful programs
Other than that, very well researched!

can you tell me how to send a signal to only a single block without reacting with a neighbor?
2000: My CPU is overheating!
2010: There's a creeper in my CPU!
Hmmm, I don't think we really were all that concerned with our CPUs overheating back then if I recall... Pentium 3s were the shizz back then, and they even came in slot form factor without any cooling (some with passive heatspreaders, etc.). All in all I can't remember there being much of a hullaballoo about it back then.
Well... I guess late in 2000 the Pentium 4 did come out, and those babies were HOT HOT HOT. So the hypothetical person saying this is an early adopter, I assume?
lol laughing ver ahrd

Except minecraft computers are going to hit a limit soon.

Theoretically you can. You would just need a proper language and a display that can output the unconventional data.

I love how from the computers perspective, it’s just doing what it already does, but in a very very round a out way… like “Wait… this feels familiar…what the hell?”
Think about virtual machines LOL
10 years later and I'm still working on my unfinished redstone computer. it'll be awesome when it's done, one day
good luck!
I've been working on a CPU in Logisim (Evolution) for a couple months now, it's gone a lot faster than when I tried to do it fully in Minecraft. I would suggest trying that, as it allows you to make the actual architecture a lot faster, as you don't have to figure out how to make the circuit you want, figure out where to put it, and then paste it in. Instead you just grab the component from Logisim (Evolution)'s libraries. Of course, you still have to eventually figure out how to convert the components into actual logic gates and circuits, but actually designing it goes a lot faster this way.
Upload it and give it an awesome title!
good tip, thanks. I can build a simple computer with a few instructions, but that's not difficult enough. I'm attempting to build a 6502 compatible computer which can run real compiled binaries. but I'm not just building a computer, I'm writing a program which builds the computer for me. anything else I can do to make it more difficult? it's an awesome thing though if I could finish it.
Yeah. One day...
Computers in minecraft can store 100 bytes of virtual memory on 3GB of physical memory! What great rates!
Doesn't that make you wonder about what spec the computer we're running on are?

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out a non-skyblock video of ours, it really helps us get into making more variety content. We haven't stopped uploading skyblock, and we won't stop, but we wanted to do something different for a change.
I worry that this video doesn't give the redstone complexity of these computers in the video enough justice, so please head over to the uploaders channels and give them some love, and if this interested you in any way, get into redstoning yoursefl!
hello
what happeneds when you go to bingo profile and delete all the other ones?
I would still watch your content no matter the game :D
Probably should pin this
Hey, creator of Chess and Breakout with redstone in Minecraft together with Mattbatwings, thanks a lot for crediting me too haha, as many other people forget that I even exist only because the video was on Matt's channel :)
It’s really interesting to see the parallels between Minecraft computer development and IRL computer development. It’s super impressive just how versatile Minecraft is as a game that people can develop stuff of this caliber. Makes me excited for the future!
And it's all with the artificial limitations of Minecraft mechanics! Like repeaters adding at least 2 ticks delay, redstone having 15 blocks reach at max, and technical limitations such as render and simulation distance limitations, Minecraft itself being slow and etc
@@theseangle that's why my current project uses an instant repeater design
@@God-ch8lq oooh sounds interesting
Hey, I am a builder on ORE and I have to agree, everything that goes on in the computational redstone community is absolutely amazing.
Yeah, same here.
Creator of the Redgames (and Commandore 32) here. Some notes:
I know most of the original downloads for the Redgame 1/2/3 and Commandore 32 are probably dead now, but if you want some of the old world downloads I'd be happy to provide them. There's manuals/programming guides for how the architecture works of each of them and a couple demo programs for each, but indeed not all that many people wrote programs for them.
Regarding 8:30 : I can't speak about other redstone computers, but all Redgames including the first had the functionality to display arbitrary pixels from code, including 'hardware acceleration' for things like horizontal/vertical lines, and hollow and filled rectangles, all in 2011. Later redgames increased the resolution, and the Commandore 32 added resolution, color and 2 extra screen buffers (using command blocks though).
Regarding 10:00 : Again, I hate to toot my own horn, but for reasons of historical accuracy I'll just point out that the Commandore 32 I built in 2014 had the same functionality several years earlier. Also a custom programming language (/compiler/assembler) with tools to upload it using minecraft console commands. Admittedly this is a command block based computer so it could be argued it isn't "true" redstone, but nor is a compiler outside of minecraft so eh.
Thanks for the offers to share world downloads and all! The external compilers count because they make a pastable redstone schematic which can be recreated by just placing those blocks manually - its just a time saver. Otherwise command blocks dont count because pixel addressing is quite a bit easier with those and its not comparable to real life engineering. Still impressive either way!
I'm baffled by the fact that my dad (a computer engineer) managed to make storage some time before 1.8 I think.
The cool thing is that this is pretty accurate to real life too. Started out very slow with limited technology, then evolved to be faster, bring more features and functionality, and finally be more compact. Still, there seems to be a current limit due to how fast vanilla redstone is in Minecraft, and in real life there is the physical limit of process node shrinks, albeit these two are not directly comparable. This is really cool
I remember making a PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) using Redstone in Minecraft PE around 2014 to 2015.
It couldn’t be erased, meaning that every bit had to be erased via accessing the internals of the machine and breaking a few blocks to reset the machine.
It also had 2 Addresses which could store 2 Bits each and you could access each Address.
It didn’t use any LOGIC Gates either.
Glad to see you branching out from other than hypixel content! Hope it goes well :)

It's a very big risk trying to do variety content, you either hit the jackpot or you lose everything tbh.

@@striderwhiston9897 100 days trend saved him so hard
For the longest time the biggest mystery and interest in the game for me were those redstone computers.
I was not expecting YALL out of all people to drop such a banger of a video, but I am very greatful you did
Now someone made Minecraft IN MINECRAFT with the power of redstone
It's crazy how with just a bit of research on how these things work, you can start to work with at least basic binary, I built a machine that if you inputted binary, it would output the number associated with that binary in the form of a certain lamp with the number on it, super simple to learn and build and only took me a week using a slow crappy mac with only a trackpad
I think you built a multiplexer that converts binary to unary. If I understood correctly, your machine takes an array of bits, and sends a signal to a lamp whose distance from the left (or right, depending on how it's built) shows the desired unary numeral.
Multiplexers are the basis of RAM addressing, specially if the RAM is huge. Modern computers use "chained" (serial) multiplexers to address memory as if it was a 2D array/table, instead of a 1D line of bytes. This makes the circuitry more compact while preserving the speed and only adding a little bit of latency
@@Rudxain i definitely understood every word you said
@@karachter is that sarcasm? Then sorry lol, I'm sometimes bad at explaining. What I meant by "chained" is that 1 multiplexer is used to select a full row of bytes from RAM, creating a "fake" memory whose size is the square root of the original memory. This "new" memory is so small that it makes it easy for the other (2nd) multiplexer to select a single byte.
If computers used a single multiplexer, *every* byte in memory must be directly connected to it, making the chip EXTREMELY large.
Think of it like this: if you have a book without an index, and you want to search for a phrase, the most efficient approach is to find the page by looking at nearby page numbers (that's assuming you know the number you're looking for), then you read the page to find the phrase. That's basically "chained muxes".
If you were to search the same phrase by NOT reading page numbers, but rather identifying pages by their content, it would be slower but still kinda fast since you're doing a "binary search". The slowest approach is to read the book sequentially (in order) from the very beginning, without jumping pages, that's extremely slow, since you can't "teleport" to a page like you used to. That's the opposite of RAM and it's called sequential memory for that reason, (RAM has direct access to any "random" byte)
@@Rudxain how do you even make a cpu in mc its a bunch of redstone???
@@hiddenguy67 redstone can send pulses that represent binary data, and it has been demonstrated that using torches and other blocks you can make ANY logic gate that has already been done IRL. CPUs are just a bunch of logic gates arranged and connected in a specific way (Flip-Flop circuits are also made of logic gates, but self-connected, to store persistent data), that's why computers are possible in MC, even though they're extremely big and have low computational power.
Also binary computers are THE EASIEST to build, specially in MC. If someone were to make a "practical" *ternary* computer, I would definitely be impressed, because that's almost impossible with just redstone
Unironically a super interesting video. This is the first Minecraft computer video that is simple enough for me to understand. Nice job!
A while back I found a way to store data in a loop of comparators. Data was stored in a serial looping signal. I used it to store images. I was slow but it was super easy to make it able to store a lot of data since you just made the loop bigger. I also made it so you could save multiple different files that were identified by different strengths of redstone power. Didn't ever implement it into anything crazy but it was an interesting concept.
@floppij5572
You could suggest this as a potential upgrade to the Minecraft in Minecraft project, this sounds extremely interesting - what is the data density (rate of Minecraft bytes/kilobytes per GB of computer memory used)?
Well before the implementation of redstone, there _were_ in fact rudimentary -computers- computational devices* (i.e. finite state machines) that took advantage of _other_ Minecraft mechanics. For example, I have a really ancient Minecraft Classic save file dating back to around September 2009 of an adding machine that uses floating sand and water to calculate the sum of two single-digit numbers. It's not a computer, but it _is_ very impressive.
Minecraft Computers are still a level of technical wizardry that awes me to this day, even knowing the basic "building blocks" required to making it work its magical to see a working computer, running in a game, build manually by often by hand.
This impresses you? You should check out the latest in ACTUAL computing.
I have no idea what’s going on, but I can tell just by the tone of voice and editing that this had a lot of passion put into it. Well done.
didnt even see the video yet, but i can feel that its great, amazing to see that you guys are getting into some variety content
I got to say having a follow-up video 6 years later would be nice, but the radio plastic peel was absolutely divine.
I loved watching these types of videos, people making calculators and other logic systems years ago blew me away. They really opened my mind up to the types of things you could build in this game. Seeing how far this has come really gets me excited to check these videos out again.
Now we just need someone to build a computer in Minecraft that can play Minecraft in Minecraft for Minecraftception.

Just started to learn about bits and bytes and pcs so fun to see this now. Keep doing this
Thanks for the nastolgia trip! I remember watching a lot of those early Minecraft videos and being blown away. That's ultimately what got me interested in computer science and engineering!
I made one!! It is 16-bit, with (up to) 256 bytes of memory stored in 8-bit words, up to 256 instructions, a shift register, bitwise AND, OR, and NAND operations, three registers, an addition/subtraction ALU, and a binary 3x16 bit output screen. It is programmed entirely in-game via an interface. The shift and bitwise operators were made in mind of performing multiplication and division. The biggest downside is that it runs at 0.05 Hz [rip]. I based it on Ben Eater's 8-bit breadboard computer series, with plenty of upscaling and new components.
YES! I genuinely love Minecraft redstone and I'm so glad to see someone making a documentary about it.

I never stop being impressed with what people can do with this game. And I thought witch farms were impressive.
nice, I made a 8 bit integer computer, in minecraft with logic gates, and it is a pain to build, but the results of my binary calculator were successful.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the RDF, considering that was the original hub for a lot of these guys to play around with their computer designs. The ORE server came after RDF was defunct, not sure if it was run by the same people, but all of the same folks definitely hung out there. Also, some significant innovators that slipped through the cracks: properinglish19, idenoh, Berrick Cook. Not sure how much of their og content is still up and viewable, but they were all awesome.
Nice to see new people picking this up where we left it years ago, so much nostalgia watching this

I love how dedicated the internet gets on making things in the most needlessly complicated way possible. If they put half as much effort as they put in to redstone computers or cooking meat by slapping into actual useful technology we might all have fully functioning iron man suits by now
the logic gates gave me awful flashbacks to uni. a time i want to forget. great video![
I’ve recently been learning how to make computational redstone because it’s cool and I thought it e more fun to learn how real computers work to help me instead of just watching tutorials so this video is helping me get my fix on computers in Minecraft without spoiling anything I might learn by just trying things myself

Fantastic video.
This video has me feeling nostalgic and also in awe
Minecraft computers won't be able to reach their peak until someone makes a computer that rickrolls you.
This is incredible. I had no idea this was even a thing !!!
I remember when I was younger I read the book Elements of Computing Systems by MIT Press and used it to build a CPU in minecraft. theinternetftw inspired me to do it. This was before repeaters of course, let alone pistons or any of the new fancy stuff. The thing had a fraction of a HZ clock and two registers. But it did work. Really got me inspired to learn real electronics.
16-bit ALU from theinternetftw was where I got to know about minecraft and caught my interest at the time.
amazing video!
You missed the fact that there was an entire community dedicated to building redstone computers dating back to early 2012 that I helped setup, called "Redstone Development Foundation"
Lots of really fascinating early attempts were made, from full CPUs with well planned architecture to single use systems. I believe the ones by Redstone Warrior are still kicking around on ORE from what I recall?
Fun to see so many names that I have not thought about in almost a decade though!

These guys are probably legitimate computer engineers, insane computer hobbyists, or just crazy.
I used to make redstone contraptions back between 2012 and 2014. Great time for this stuff! When the 1.5 update came out with the new comparator my mind was blown and confused lol. I attribute redstone as the reason I got into programming (which I do still)
7:15 A rare hat films cameo! did not expect to see them
The CHUNGUS 2 is why I found this video… I watched that video and it completely blew my mind.
to see something like minecraft developing like a civilization, with people discovering and creating better and better technology, is amazing.

Thanks. This vid inspired me to create a 16 bit Hexadecimal computer.
The graphing calculator and the Tetris are the most impressive to me. Damn

This is mind blowing!
Man I remember back when a simple nand gate was a pretty big thing to try to hide under your base to open your doors.
It's a nice overview
Actualy a crazy moment for minecraft.
I wish they had some practicle use on smp
Bro is a literal wizard, I have no idea how creating a functional computer inside a virtual game is even possible
Might be interesting to compare things like the Project FE 5 to some of these.
It's not a computer as such, but it's assembly routine is certainly one heck of a calculated program when "building" itself!
