"I need to look into the future" - least complex minecraft redstone

Next thing to try is Minecraft in Minecraft (color edition)

Another way you could make the controls is giving villagers an item, then when you hold that item in your inventory, a sculk sensor would detect it

@minecraft should take notes, redstoners want blocks that change colors depending of signal strength

full color era of MBW has started

4:04 Local Redstoner realizes what the “tetr” in “Tetris” means

I recommend space invaders. Don't forget that it speeds up as it goes

okay, is it just me or did you forget the most important thing... a game over! its truly an amazing video, but the whole time i was wondering how you where going to implement it. and it got left out!

I think the falling animation for line clears looks way cooler than real tetris

This is spectacular! Huge improvements from the first iteration. Also love the Blue Scuti cameo at the beginning :D

I struggle building a 7 segment display meanwhile this guy is out here building tetris

I coded Tetris myself a few years ago (not in Minecraft 😅), and it’s amazing to see how the implementation decisions are straight just identical

MOM: Matt! you still playing minecraft?! MATT:Nah just tetris.

*THE ONE PIEECE!* 5:17 10:25 10:31 11:20

matt 5:24: "you can't rotate the square" every tetris player: it's an O piece every modern tetris player: all-spin

hell yeah another mattbatwings video

0:05 OMG diao !

Subbed, I really enjoy how understandable you make it and how genuinely skilled you are. I’ve watched a few of your videos before and your effort is appreciated, enjoyable watch!

It’s crazy how a game as simple as Tetris can be made in Minecraft and also it takes ALL of this redstone just for one thing

Very nice video ! I codded myself a tetris game in C with arduino and i met the same issue as you had with off-screen rotations. What I did is that i allowed them, and checked after a rotation if there was a part of it outside, if so, i move its x (+1 or -1 depending of the side the off-limits blocks are) and check it again, until the whole piece fits in the screen. However, i have no idea how hars it would be to do that in redstone, your work is really impressive

This is actually really good. The logic behind this is really advanced stuff. Well done!

"Hey dude, do you wanna play Tetris with me?" "Uh sure" "Okay, join this Minecraft server"

loving the work that you do. might i say, you can use the rising and falling edge detection from 1 clock. no need for 2....

I allways go strait to the showcase wich is, for me, the best part. Amazing video. The redstone level is just incredible

Oh, it was nice to hear Place on Fire by Creo at the end! Great project. I'm currently learning microelectronics, and this was fun to watch. :)

I really wanted worldedit so I can follow your tutorials, so I'm so happy that I got worldedit.

Well, in the nes tetris, it used a sprite sheet then colored it, so you could use something like glass, so it would show the black and white version of it, then put glass in front At least, thats how i think it worked

Loving these color videos

@mattbatwings 1. Great video 2. insane to see that done with just redstone and no commands 3. As someone who read EVERY single instruction in the NES Tetris ROM: In the game movements within a frame is processed in the order of horizontal shifts, rotation, vertical drop The lines above a cleared line are shifted down one by one. The game check for a full line 4 times, but only where the piece locked. The next piece is not 100% random, the code to generate a random piece has a strong bias against repeating a piece and a small bias against I and L pieces. (This is just a very basic explanation; NES Tetris has a lot of quirks)

It is PERFECT ! Just one little thing is missing : The kalinka !

I would've also added pistons to the left and right of the pressure plates to immediately move you to the center. But it is entirely up to choice, as some people might find it obstructing.

Really awesome build! I think that instead of 2 pressure plates on opposing sides for left and right movement, instead, use 2 tripwires that are at the player head level (and face the opposite direction of the jump tripwire-) because it is at head level, if they jump, they still can trigger it. This enables simultaneous movement and rotation.

Using Pacman's idea in Tetris? Genius 😎

I just watched one of your other videos. I love your videos, u earned a sub.

This is AWESOME! Love it!

Using various sounds such as shifting armor pieces for a user interface could be a viable alternative to the jump, that way, you can rotate while moving.

You are amazing at redstone but i think your real unique skill is in explaining things in a very understanding and entertaining way. In my opinion you are the absolute best redstone youtuber on the entire platform even if ur not the best redstoner.

I CANNOT WAIT

Tbh, I feel like it would have been worth it to implement levels and softdrop, and then just use the /tick command to make the max speed faster. But it's still amazing that you are able to do all these crazy things!!! Keep up the good work!

creo music in the showcase was amazing

LET'S GOOO!!! CONGRATS!!!

14:06 I'm pretty sure in the actual game, whenever you rotate, the game has a few positions it can check to see if it can put the rotated piece somewhere where it doesn't intersect anything, and if none work, it just doesn't rotate...

Nice work!

thats amazing!

My guy, this is insane. You deserve millions of views for this. Great job on this work of genius 👍

i think i get it now why people like massive redstone builds. it's basically visualising of programs. if you made Tetris in python, it's just a bunch of code, but in the background there's also a lot of computation. but here it's all compacted into a single machine, giving it a giant look. it's pretty cool but i still think that making larger projects with regular code is way more exciting. redstone can limit you at times

I’m impressed your PC handled this wow! I wish we could have texture packs like this on Minecraft Bedrock edition

You could do the soft drop by applying it to the player’s input controls tick. So with the clock alternating between input/down/input/down etc. the input tick would also move it down and double the speed of the piece when you soft drop it. And for increasing the speed you could use a comparator clock with a signal strength comparison to make a variable speed clock that changes the speed of the clock based on the signal strength comparison, and you can change the signal strength to change the frequency of the comparator clock. If it’s all going on one clock you can make a 1 digit binary counter. Whenever the bit flips on it checks the input and when it flips off it does the down movement. That alternates the pulse from the clock between two circuits and makes it all operate on one controllable timer. It's kinda hard to explain in text but if you have a typical comparator fader circuit with two comparators powering each other with a decaying signal strength, and a torch output from the block used, then a repeater from the torch back into the comparator timer. The torch will pulse on for 1 tick when the comparator fade timer reaches zero signal strength, then it resets the comparators with a fresh signal. You can push a signal into the side of the second comparator to deactivate the timer early when the decaying signal drops below the input signal it cycles the clock. As you increase the signal strength going into the clock you speed up the clock. When the input signal is 0, the decay clock has to decay from 15 to 0, but if the input signal is 4 for example then once the decay signal drops to 4 the second comparator will output a zero instead of the decaying signal which instantly resets the clock early every time it goes around. So you could technically make a 16 level system, from 0 to 15 which increases the speed of the clock. I'm sure it can't run at a 1 tick clock speed though so if you extend the duration of the decay clock beyond 15 ticks maximum you can make a slower clock that still has a 15 tick range of speeds.

upgrade idea, make a piston push you to the midle

wish we had a lightblock that emits a diff color depending on signal strenght

Matttbat : I need to look into the future Me : TIME TRAVEL

This is so coooool, congrats

Somebody : hum this seems complicated Mattbatwings : make more ROM

The yt also recognise it as Tetris, You are a Legend

This is INSANE 👑

Great Video! As a modern tetris player I'd love to see SRS and 7-bag though. Maybe even 1v1 versus?

My cursed brain expected Luffy to appear on screen every time you said 'one piece'

Since soft drop is an input, it could happen on the sideways movement / rotation clock ticks (seems fine to give soft drop priority over sideways movement)

Amazing work, one thing I thought about is that when soft dropping I believe the player can't rotate or move left or right so wouldn't it be possible to implement as the piece moving down on the player clock as well while soft dropping?

Amazing videos! 👏

Another video from the legend

this makes me wanna grind some tetrises and t spins

Hey in the controls where are the pressure plates you could make it so when u stand on one pressure plate a piston will push you back so you dont have to go back

Great work, man. Take care of yourself,

You should add pistons to push the player back to the center of the control area so you don’t have to press D than S to step off the pressure plate before pressing D again to move the piece twice

Don’t get me wrong, this is incredibly impressive and super cool, but as someone who used to play competitive modern Tetris, I nearly dissolved watching this video

13:28 ahhhh looking into,the future simple

For the soft drop could you have a faster clock for falling when you enable it and for every pulse for falling it adds too the score?

The madlad did it again! Next version with rotation kicks? ;)

Given your prior work, I think a hard drup might be possible for you, my thinking is to subtract remaining lines from Y, as for control a inverted trip wire could detect crunching.

It would be great if you could mimic the color glitch and the true kill screen and if possible the rebirth screen.

this video is literally exact thought process I had when I was coding tetris in javascript, though, uh... obviously your one is a little bit harder lol

Try subway surfer in Minecraft

A potential fix for the display issue with the quadrants not being the same could be to leverage blockstates do differentiate between which quadrant of a tile is being shown. for example a dot only connected to the north could be something different than just a dot.

BRO that was amazing you should make a tetris theme song behind by note blocks bro

Amazing Game, Always So Addictive

I will never NOT be in awe at the ability of Minecraft redstone and those who understand how to use it to the fullest. Just a simple game mechanic turned into building blocks for computer code

9:05 You could have put fences on the pressure plates to make the A-D movement faster

i had forgotten about the post he made about this

The coordinate system was the correct choice. Hold pieces would have been easy to implement in a coordinate system if they were desired.

The controls are similiar to the wii balance board controls for tetris party deluxe

Can villagers and skulk sensors be used for controls? Where you can rebind your hot bar buttons to whatever keys are comfy (only works for inputs that dont need to be pressed twice in a row)

Who knew that knowing how to find x would help us in Minecraft.

So amazing

damn it would be RLY COOL to replicate the original NES TETRIS bugs like the glitched colors

8:21 7 up? like the soda?

Why your videos always have so good music at the showcase?

For the soft drop could you use the second clock (used for left and right by the player) to drop the piece at 2x speed?

The Matt Parker jumpscare was very unexpected, but very appreciated

how are ther NO command blocks?! this is EPIC!

The two clocks is essentially how real games do it too, but instead of two clocks you just use even ticks for one set of operations and uneven ticks for the other.

you should make a piston push you back after you did your left or right move

make a fractal renderer. i suppose it will have to be a turing complete system, or if it isnt turing complete at least it should be able to test every point for a certain equation like a grapher but just more advanced.

15:56 oh yeah, a flawless rotation

other than this thing is in the top 10 coolest things i've seen so far with redstone, i was wondering: to make soft drop, couldn't you have made the block skip a line when going down? Like, when you click the button for soft drop, the block starts going down skipping one row at a time. Wouldn't that work? Anyways, great job.

Is it possible to use pistons to reset the player's position every time the player steps on a pressure plate? I feel like that'd be more intuitive because then the player's WASD would directly correlate to controls instead of needing to press the opposite button after every move to re-center.

You are a Mad Lad Mattbatwings

Amazing…. Also how do you make your animations & videos? I would love to see a “meta” video that showed that
