Minecraft, But REDSTONERS Tell Me What To Do.. 

Give your friends a sound pack where you have recreated the minecraft sounds with your voice and ask them for help with something, and see how long it takes them to notice what's wrong.

Tango: *Explains a pulse extender* What Jimmy hears: "And then you need a flux capacitor to connect to a fusion reactor to generate electromagnetic radiation waves"

I'd like to see a follow up, where your friends assess your work and walk you through how they would do it until you understand the principle. Then as a final test, try to make the contraptions again without being able to see the solution you just had explained to you, just to see if you learned anything. Doesn't matter if the final product works or not, it's the learning that counts. If you understand a new principle, but can't replicate it blind in redstone, that's still a win and would be even more entertaining (and informative).

I love how Tango's request sounded like the most complicated thing in the world but at the same time it was the only contraption Jimmy made that worked as planned

Clicked for more of the Ranchers' interactions. I was not disappointed that Tango's mission for Jimmy was the one Jimmy was the most confused about in the beginning, but was also the easiest in terms of actual tasks for him to achieve XD Jimmy's little wave to a Tango that can't even see him was really wholesome too :')

I didn't know someone can be worse than Grian at redstone

I think that while Etho had something else in mind for the fire, he's a fan of unconventional solutions and will indeed be proud of this result :D

I want to see Impulse's, Etho's, and Tango's reactions to his attempts

It's very funny how much blind faith Tango has in Jimmy's redstone knowledge compared to Impulse or Etho. "Make a chest spit out items" and "make a fire change color" versus "make a pulse extender that will stretch at least four seconds." Jimmy didn't even know what he was supposed to be doing. :D

Hey, you genuinely made a proper pulse extender just by messing around with blocks? That's impressive, good job man!

Top Comment Idea: Get Grian and Joel, and instead of them teaching YOU how to build, you try and tell them what to do 😆

one day when Jimmy is a Redstone genius making his own tutorials there will be an entire gaggle of minecrafters who call them "Compars"

Challenge Impulse, Etho, and Tango to each make the contraptions they described in under 30 seconds! Could be a good short...

Jimmy being proud of using levers and dispensers is weirdly wholesome

I too am almost certain that isn't what Etho had in mind with the orange-to-blue flame switch but I'm proud of you for finding the funniest way around it. You're one step closer to being a redstone genius, Jimmy!

I'm impressed by the pulse extender! For tutorials, I actually recommend Pixlriffs over Mumbo for exactly the reason you gave. Mumbo explains things in a way that works once you're already comfortable with redstone, because that's his intended audience. Pix, since he's usually doing things as part of the Survival Guide for Minecraft n00bs, explains things very simply.

Big fan of jimmy's expressions during tango's challenge, he looked excited when tango said hi then he slowly becomes more and more confused 🤣🤣

Tim im soo proud that you managed to make the simplest things so unnecessarily complex

This video really needed the reaction of Impulse, Etho and Tango

Id love to watch someone like mumbo or impulse or tango or etho try and teach jimmy some redstone basics. Maybe enough so he come back and do these challenges again.

Proud of you Jim! Etho's was a creative and simple solution and You nailed Tango's right off! 2/3 is a passing grade!

Minecraft but whatever my friends tell me to do, I do the exact opposite.

As a competent redstoner I was laughing all through this, but as someone who remembers what it was like to learn the basics (and still has plenty more to learn) I was happy to see you trying to figure it out! And though I'm pretty sure that wasn't the solution Etho intended, I think your way of solving the problem was fun and creative. I hope you keep messing around with redstone, using it in practical ways; eventually it'll start making sense.

I must say, kudos for getting Etho. For someone who basically pioneered the Minecraft RU-vidr format, that guy can be really shy.

Minecraft but I mimic my friends personality and building style for an entire episode.

Jimmy I’m proud of you! You made a pulse extender from scratch! …even though you messed it up. Still! Good stuff!

Proud of you! Not many people can boast about figuring out rudimentary pulse extenders on their own! And your unconventional solution to Etho's task which works on a technicality lol.

I like that they're not just redstone friends, they're also redstone legends. I'm pretty sure they've invented at least one redstone contraption that was revolutionary

Your friends build a structure and you have to guess who built it.

Would've loved if you showed them your contraptions and they showed you how they would've tackled it!

I love how Impulse sounded like an exasperated and worried father when he asked Jimmy to do his redstone contraption

You should get those gents to actually teach you red stone. Might be a fun video to see who gets impatient with who.

while showcasing the absolute lack of knowledge of anything redstone-related jimmy has, this video also captures that feeling of joy from making your first proper contraption that gets people into redstone. good video

I could be wrong but I'm guessing a block swapper is probably what Etho meant, but hey I always say it's better to think outside the box and do something different that campfire thing still works. A+ for that

Pix’s basic tutorial on redstone from his survival guides series really helps in understanding basic redstone if Jimmy really wants to learn some

ranchers interaction!!!!!!! everything ive ever wanted yay!!!! edit: jimmy that pulse exstender is legit impressive!! you stumbled onto exactly what tango ment :D

Honestly the only other way we could make Jimmy learn a bit more about the game is have him complete the 'How did we get here?' achievement.

"Minecraft, but it's Hardcore double life with Grian!" He has to carry you to a hardcore victory over the dragon with shared health in Hardcore mode.

Impulse and Etho gave you rather simple easy challenges and then Tango straight up threw you into the deep end and you somehow accidentally made a pulse extender on like your first try. Cannot believe that actually worked

Top Comment Idea: Capture every type of mob

Minecraft but i have to keep GoodTimesWithScar alive

Twist on the same idea: Have your redstone friends not tell you what you're building while you follow their exact instructions on block placement, so you might as well be building a self-unaliving-machine and not know it, then you must blindly use it no matter what it is

The campfire one definitely counts as a win! I really liked the creative direction you took, also you were so close with Tango's! the starting setup you had at 8:58 was perfect, if you made have 2 rows 6 comparators instead of 2 rows of 3 comparators you would have done it!

EPIC JOB ON THE PULSE EXTENDER JIMMY! And happy your proud of the fire thing

I haven't bothered learning real redstone because I play on bedrock edition and it's different to java redstone but I'm gonna guess etho wanted a block swapper alternating between netherrack and soul sand/soil and a dispenser with flint and steel. That pulse extender was impressive tho, great work

I can't believe it, you actually managed to make one of the most basic pulse extenders. I'll admit I was starting to lose faith when you didn't think of soulsand swappers for the fire one, but in the end you actually did manage to make a contraption that worked on your own.

Cackling over this, it's amazing. Loved your 'technically correct' one for Etho lol

I love how the friends were the TIE.... poor Skizzleman was left out.

You did SIGNIFICANTLY better than I couldve done and knew more about redstone too which I’d say is an achievement (I’ve been playing mc for 10 years not a clue what repeaters/comparators are)

TLDR For how the contraption at 3:07 works for Jimmy to understand - One of the features of a comparator is that it can "read" how full a chest is. From a redstone output of zero (the container is empty) to 15 (container is full). You then take the redstone output from the comparator and hook it up to a clock, as you need a pulsing signal (changing signal, going on off on off on off) to keep dropping items, as, just like you found out, an always on dropper only drops once.

Next video idea: Ask three restone friends to guide you to build a bit more complicated redstone contraption at the same time.

I have seen this kind of video before but I would like to see you and your friends do it. Try to die in mincraft and have your friends try to protect you through any means possible

Maybe an idea could be that you have to try and make scenes/buildings from shows or movies picked by some of your friends. For example, the bathhouse from spirited away or Luke’s hut (moisture farm) from a new hope (etc), but obviously nothing too huge Thanks!

Tim, I know some are giving you a hard time, but im honestly proud of you for following through and learning a bit in the process. No one learns without failure, and I appreciate that you showed that. The best you can is always good enough. ❤

You should truly make a series out of this, but do one redstoner at a time, who gives you tasks to complete, and then when you either complete it or don't, they show you how to do it, and describe it. You'll be a good go-between from these juggernauts to us regular folks that can't get the logic of it. You've already got 3 of the amazing redstoner's, but after Impulse Tango & Etho You could invite on: Docm77 ilmango Xixuma Mumbo Zedaph & Any of the other creators from SciCraft, or the Hive Mind. Maybe do like an MC Universe late night talk show where you interview them about any projects in the works. Just a thought since I clearly enjoyed this episode. Good luck bud.

Ok so Jimmy, what you should do is create any national monument in any country!

Compete with your friends until you find something you're better than them at

You have to beat minecraft but random challenges from friends appear at random times that you have to finish before continuing the regular game. And maybe the challenges give you rewards to help you beat the game.

I would like to see the same video again, but this time the others will explain how it's done at the end so that you understand what the goal was (maybe also a small video where you will be shown today's)

I'm a simple man, I see Etho, I click

This is actually so good for a first try at redstone

Jim's level of redstone knowledge is basically the same as mine. I am proud of what he accomplished today.

Next to Jimmy, Grian looks like a redstone engineer haha.

Is simple. I see Etho. I click like

I don't know why but etho telling Jimmy what to do sounded so wholesome

This series would be amazing if the person who asks the question comes back or reacts to it

You have to beat the game but your friends try to stop (of help) you in the most comical ways possible Also hope you had a great birthday, Jim!

With a little luck that might have motivated jimmy to do just tiny itty bit of redstone in the future, we can still hope! XD

I saw tango and etho on the thumbnail and clicked on it sooo fast

you should design a build to a certain theme and see how similar your friends build that thing to you edit: as a redstoner this is painful to watch

Here’s my suggestion, get your fellow empires members to give you the most scuffed “lore” to act out in Minecraft, chicken crossing the road but more dramatic, an evil chair seeking world domination, the most cursed that they can think of. Excellent video! I loved the blue and red fire challenge, maybe try putting diamonds in a dispenser to turn the orange fire blue, just a suggestion :)

I didn't even understand most of the Redstone, but you did great Jimmy! I'm sure the more you mess with Redstone and play around, you could make more machines than I can! This video was great and made me smile all the way through.

Idea for next episode: convince another youtuber/streamer who you haven't worked with before to join you for an episode :D

See, your thing with the campfires and the 2 levers is an actual method that's used in redstone to work out the order in which redstone activates, the next steps would just be to make them all work with 1 button with proper timings

I loved this, I actually really enjoyed seeing how excited you got learning or figuring out your first redstone discoveries. I'd love something where maybe you were able to get guidance or hints from a redstoner as you go. Maybe even just to get definitions lol

I don't really play minecraft much, but I know how redstone works from watching people so I decided to make these alongside Tim. Impulse's: Yeah I did that pretty fast, I used observers facing each other to get it to constantly spit stuff out, not the most lag-friendly because it works even when the chest/dropper is empty, but it works so good enough for me. Etho's: Got it to work, but failed at first because I got confused on how redstone torches work. I did actually use an observer to trigger the flame to turn on instead of just constantly firing the flint and steel. Jimmy's solution is quite funny, I must say. Tango's: I really had no clue how this is supposed to work, so I made the pulse (an observer that I placed and broke blocks in front of) have multiple different lines, each delayed via repeaters differently, so that the pulse was 3 times as long. Jimmy's is actually better than mine before he messed it up, which shows how badly I did.

Take three friends, tell each to build something very specific and compare them with yours once your all done (kind of like build battle)

Congrats Jimmy! What you ended up with for a pulse extender is actually a really common design! The campfire design isn't bad either. You have all of the inputs sorted out, which is the first step with any contraption. The next step would be using something called a monostable circuit. Essentially: lever signal goes in (on and it stays that way) but a button signal comes out (on for a little bit, then turns off). If you build two monostable circuits with inputs from a lever and outputs to the water dispenser, and add delay to one monostable with repeaters, the system would dispense and remove the water whenever you flick the lever. It would be like pressing a button on the water dispenser (to put the water out), waiting, and pressing it again (to take the water back). Hope that's helpful! Mumbo's video explaining redstone components is great: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ooL9nVQA6qU.html Oh, and don't be too worried about not understanding comparators. They're dark magic.

Ask 5 Friends to set up their respective Challenge for you in the Nether (One Friend Per Biome). Example 1: Bdubs challenges Solidarity to Gather Hidden Moss Blocks within chests in a Created Crimson Forest Piglin Camp, without dying too many times. Example 2: Scar requests you clear a flat plot of land within a Bassalt Delta, and for it to be Scar-Safe. (Survival) Hope this becomes a video, that would be really cool to see (and really funny too).

Thank you so much for picking my Idea! Amazing video.

jimmy i'm not gonna say you did a great job at the redstone but i'm proud of you for doing your best for the next top comment, maybe act out a (short) play in minecraft with some of your friends :)

Minecraft, but I have to act like Grian and create a Grian style build.

Jimmy calling a comparator a compar had me laughing so hard

I really thought this was gonna be a case of said three friends being present and _watching_ Timmy do redstone and waiting for him to finish while giving tips.

so proud of you jimmy for completing at least one task! or one task and a half XD

Top comment: Find a pig, give it a fancy name and make it have a luxurious life (build the pig a luxurious house with luxurious things).

3:30 You didn't need a comparator for that at all. You could've simplified it by just using repeaters. A repeater square with dust in the corners will give you a super basic redstone clock that'll keep going round and round pumping out a signal every four ticks. And this eggs!

First design: first compartor is in subtract mode meaning (signal strength from dropper - signal strength from side = output), that output strenght is carried back into itself via a redstone dust and other comparator. Since makes it x minus x = zero, turning the circuit off. Items still in dropper so it turns on again, repeat. The top redstone dust bud power the dropper (actudentical bud powering is often a redstoners mistake, so I'm going to avoid explaining that). Second design: creative thinking based on camp fire color not too bad for that method actually other then a tad bit more automation (1 flip of switch instead of 2 or 3). Probably was referring to soul sand and nether rack for the original request Third, well Done. Why it worked? you have a loop of comparators that transfer the same strength input to it's output. At the ends there is two redstone dust, meaning the strength went down by 1. So when unpowered every completed loop the strength only goes down by 1, hence longer 9:36 The powered dirt block made it so it was only 1 Redstone dust at the comparators so it doesn't get any weaker (2 or more needed) 10:15 need the loop back into it self for the 15 to zero instead of on or off 8:33 little bit of a roast but you did get 2/3 of them

MORE REDSTONE! 😂 We'll force him to learn! 🎉

RANCHERS????? YESSSSS

This reminds me of when I first used a redstone line and a button to open a door. It was magical. It also was in the time when repeaters and pistons didn't exist. Over the years I've started building bigger and bigger projects. I've made a stopwatch, a typewriter, rock paper scissors (with a bot so you don't need 2 players). Anyway, everyone starts our knowing nothing. Everything you managed to make in this video is amazing and you have all the right to be proud of yourself. Especially the pulse extender, because that's exactly how pulse extenders are often made. Also, if I didn't use tutorials I wouldn't have been able to make any of the big things. I usually take small circuits and connect them to perform the function I want. So I think you didn't fail the first task :D

it's fun watching you trying to solve all of them through an extremely unconventional method yet you still got there in the end while still being entertaining to watch through! ...i also have no idea on how redstone works, so i guess you're far better than me personally lel

Gotta hand it to you the pulse extender is just literally correct. Figured it out in one! The other two are... Creative solutions. Ya did good Jim

4:06 a comparator can check if there are blocks in chests too

Do a mini life series in one episode. Select a boogieman every twenty to thirty minutes and play with just a few others, not too many. Three lives, blah blah blah, try to survive longer than literally anyone. SHOW US YOU HAVE THE POWER TO END THE CURSE!

1. side facing schematic: CC HDOO (chest, chest, hopper, dispenser, observer, observer) 2.blockswapper with netherack and soulsand, and above that block, with one block air gap, dispenser with fire charges / flint steel. 3. your first design was straight up a pulse extender- great job!

You did a good job Jimmy. For someone who hasn’t touched red stone before. ❤

TopComment-recreate famous minecrafters funny mistakes in your world

Okay, now we need to have reality show style series where each episode is several masters like Etho and Mumbo host a "How to " camp to teach you and several other players w/a weakness in that area how to do the thing. Redstone, building, etc.

The thing is, you were saying comparitor correctly. But hey, honestly, congrats, Jimmy! Haha. You had some creative ways to deal with those challenges, and I think you actually learned some stuff on your own. I looked everything up ahead of trying redstone and still ended up making things funny, so you've done a little more than I did~
