Doing Redstone how Mojang Intended (Then doing it better) 

I cannot think of someone more qualified to make this video! :)

If Mumbo wrote the Minecraft Redstone Manual it would be called “It’s really quite simple.”

“im not entirely sure but its certainly teaching them something” sounds like school

I sometimes forget Mojang actually intended redstone to do stuff, I’ve seen so many crazy contraptions that seem to not be intended that I forget there is some redstone things that are intended

Mojang: This is a redstone clock Me: thats a weird design for a lag machine.

How dare they try to write a book without asking you to write it

Alternate title: “Mumbo replacing all of the redstone dust with observers in Minecraft builds”

I like how mumbo still gets surprise how his machine works with him having years of experience

Observers, compact ice, and bubble streams really revolutionized redstone and made it far more accessible and less daunting to lower skilled players. It's amazing to see how far this game has come since beta.

Mumbo is like the teacher who says your homework is “good” but then tells you the “correct” way of doing it

“I’m not entirely sure, it’s certainly teaching them something, anyway” is the most conclusive sentence I think i’ve ever heard.

I’m pretty sure the manual was written before observers where added so I’d like to consider that is they had those improvements they would use them

This is like going back to the beginner tutorials when you're a maxed out player

Redstone contraptions in a minecraft book: small, simple and easy to understand Observers: Allow us to introduce ourselves

Minecraft redstone handbook: **teaches basic redstone stuff** Mumbo jumbo redstone tutorials: *i am 4 parallel universe ahead of you*

Just got into redstone for the first time since beta, and it is just crazy how different everything is now. Most of my automated farms are essentially just an observer and piston now, when in the past it would have been some big redstone circuit that I would have just given up on after a few attempts.

Armor stand swapper Mumbo: "This is a winner" The original armor stand swapper is WAAAAY cheaper, and that's a win for a noob

Next video: I wrote my own "How to redstone" book and successfully sold it to Mojang

i think that mob killer was meant for skeletons since they actually seek out shade instead of accepting fate

I've always had great success just matching the button to the surface it's on. I usually do this in mountain sides where there's exposed stone, a slightly tucked away stone button is almost invisible if you're not looking for it.

This is science vs. engineering, to a T - Taking core theoretical concepts and making them into useful designs! To make a great redstone build, as much thought goes into the actual theory (circuits etc.) as does the optimization and final design. So cool.

I think what we learned here is that Mumbo needs to write his own redstone book.

Just like coding, on first day they teach you how to print string "hello world" then you realize there's a ton of ways to print "hello world"

There were way older versions of these books, I had them, I'm guessing they updated them and didn't really improve upon much, hence the lack of observers and buttons on the floor and stuff.

one thing I do have to say is its cool that observers have made these contraptions so much easier, these things were made before observers so to see that these things were made so much easier by a simple block being added is very nice

Note: Zombies don't seek shade from sunlight but skeletons do.

The reason why all the pistons have so many repeaters is actually because the wanted the book to be helpful to both Java and Bedrock players - In bedrock, you need repeaters behind a piston except in special cases for them to fire

I think people are supposed to recognize the suboptimal designs of the builds, and improve them as part of the learning process, a soft encouragement for people to teach themselves and get them to think like a red stone engineer.

Mojang: "No! We can't make a redstone book with only observers but no redstone!" Mumbo: "Yes you can"

Only the OGs remember the old Redstone Handbook

The most confusing thing about Redstone is the placement direction of observers. Definitely backwards. Will never get used to it.

I kinda prefer the big and loud piston clock. It really feels like a power generator, and you can build a nice metal, stone, and glass she'll around it to really sell the industrial generator look.

Mumbo: **says that redstone maybe is complicated** Everyone: *Visible confusion*

THE SACRED TEXTS!

7:20 back then you weren't able to place buttons on the ground

I’ve enjoyed this! I’ve been learning redstone since 2019 and I have learned some new stuff today.

For why lever and not button: The book is old back then you couldnt place buttons on the ground For why the repeater: The book is old back then you coudlnt place redstone on pistons

mumbo: "Lets make it better!" *literally just adds observers* *literally just works*

4:34 zombies don’t seek out shade. Skeletons does

Petition for mumbo to write an advanced redstone book

It's a good thing Mumbo didn't write this book because it will cause the reader's brain to implode in on itself

I'd love nothing more than a "Mumbo's guide to redstone" book. Just imagine it!

You have taught me more than that book has. Honestly I kind if just put that book back on the shelf, watched a few of your videos, then figured the rest out by myself.

Today, the armor stand switch is even more useful than before. Amazing.

Who else wants Mumbo to actually make a redstone guide book now lmao Or at least a tutorial series “school of redstone”

Mumbo: "My girlfriend thought i wanted to learn more about redstone... Oh, bless her." *Self-confidence: Level 100*

For the piston squisher, since you said it was designed before we could crawl, that was also before we could even have redstone dust placed on top of pistons and powering them without breaking.

4:16 Sry mumbo zombies are not that intelligent as go to there. This trap works only with skeletons.

“Maybe minecraft redstone is confusing and weird...” People who aren’t Mumbo: and now he gets it

9:48 I think that the “top section” in the redstone guide was like that because before 1.16 any redstone on top of pistons would pop off when it extended.

I genuinely enjoyed this video so so so much. Also can't wait for season 8!

Mumbo: Maybe minecraft redstone is just confusing and weird Grian: YES! FINALLY!!!

I’m still dying to know what 7 million looks like in Minecraft...

Alternate title - How school teaches you vs How it is suppose to be in practical life

This is the most Mumbo video out there! XD Taking something that was intended for a certain purpose and using for something way better

That went by a lot faster than I realised. Good stuff, Mumbo

Glad someone with actual skill/experience finally made this 😂

Alternate title: Mumbo flexing on mojang for 11 minutes 20 seconds straight

Aw man... I can literaly watch any video this man has made, and it would be like watching it for the first time even if I already watched it beacause I'll still won't undertand a bit about what he is saying... and I will love every minute.

Thank you so much Mumbo for reminding me I still have the redstone handbook! I need to do *something* with it.

Next ilmango video. Doing Minecraft how MumboJumbo intended then doing it better.

Mumbo: *Everything is incredibly simple to follow* Contraption: *Self building working Falcon 9*

I love how well he conveys that the book is actually really high quality just not the best tasks for the job

You could also use campfires, then you don't need a minecart, you could just use normal hoppers(but redirecting with water first is ideal)

mumbo uploads everyone "time to drop everything and watch this for 10 minutes"

Mumbo: Makes flipping pages in a book look better than Hollywood

Really cool video. Fun to see things done in different ways.

This was really cool! It would be really cool of you could cover the whole book.

Vickie thinking he was doing research for a video is the most wholesome thing ever, lol

I love how Mumbo’s channel started out with compacting redstone using complacated chains of block update detectors and has evolved into... compacting redstone using complicated chains of observers... come to think of it nothing has changed tbh

For the first, the secret door kinda thing I love to have them with hopper below and you have to throw the correct named item on the ground otherwise it doesn't open. Obviously way more complicated than the simple design but so much fun

Mumbo: This is brilliant. Mumbo: But _I_ like this.

Mojang : explaining Redstone the simple way Mumbo : "proceed to make it complicated"

Next steps to improving redstone ability: -Learn to read Minecraft code (where one usually discovers all the weird shiz) -Watch tutorials from the technical Minecraft community... on everything -Talk with SciCraft constantly about compactifying contraptions (because that usually involves weird redstone)

Mumbo: the instructions are pretty easy to follow Me: *resumes to look at the book and then at my contraption that went horribly wrong* 😃

You should make your own book about redstone! great video!

*British man with a mustache uses Minecraft to criticize and simplify an educational piece of literature*

day 2 of telling mumbo to put a lamp in the lobby of pacific that lights up when someone is shopping so if someone else comes there theres no confusion

The reason for all the repeaters at the end is because Pistons used to not work by simply putting Redstone over them you had to direct the Redstone directly at it and you couldn't do that when they were side by side without repeaters

Having not played minecraft in years, it's weird to see these videos and realize just how much redstone has changed, as far as new tools being implemented.

Vicky thinking you bought that book for research is adorable

Mumbo's definition of improving Redstone: make it more complicated

This was hilarious and at the same time really awesome

Keep doing stuff like this!

‘Maybe minecraft redstone is just confusing and weird’ - Mumbo, 2021

To me, that redstone handbook feels like Kindergarten-12th grade math, while Mumbo’s redstone is like college calculus.

mumbo jumbos first contraption is actually a zero tick piston door 😂

I built your armor stand swapper and it was cheap and surprisingly easy to build just looking at it! I wish i could be as good as you at redstone. I am okay at it but i need to get better. I enjoy doing redstone.

Next thing you know Mumbo writes his own Redstone Handbook

Only OG’s will remember the handbook

0:27 so what you're saying is this is the equivalent of learning how to code with a guide and all it tells you is "if" statements and some really odd floats

my mind was blown for that armour stand contraption never seen anything like it before ever!

"Let's get these guys kitted out in the finest clobber." Sometimes, Mumbo, you become twice as British in a sentence 😂

new title: Over-critiquing a children's book

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.

That little story at the end is just the best

Mumbo be like: fine, I’ll do it myself.

No one: Mumbo: "It is really a simple design".

you should make your own redstone guide, you're a redstone genius

the 4 repeaters 4 redstone dust is still my favorite redstone clock
