Reacting To YOUR Awful Redstone Hot Takes 

you inspire me cube. Your dialect in this video was so inspirational

facts

@@sethsmith2608 Really the essence of participation right there, 💯

Ngl i didn’t notice you were an armor stand until halfway through the video

@@sabapm6812 I didn't notice it until my third time watching the video 💀

This is basically "every unique block is redstone". And you are kinda right. I do think it is necessary that those blocks can interact with other blocks. If grass blocks didn't cause block/state updates, it wouldn't be redstone.

grass can also be used as a timer or a light level detector

But considering moss and now skulk, there are broad categories for interactions even for solid blocks.

Considering observers should be able to detect when silverfish enter stone blocks (due to the block ID physically changing), even stone style blocks could be considered to have some unique properties for random detection, though I can't say I know what that would be useful for aside from maybe turning a stronghold silverfish spawner into an XP farm that can store silverfish for later so they don't affect the mob cap, but it wouldn't really be all that worth it I don't think.

If everything is redstone, nothing is redstone. You don't have a random pulse. You have a random block update and that's detected by a redstone component.

what?? cube wasn't in the video??

@@oTimex that's... the point. His armor stand was there so it's a joke

@@oTimex r/woooosh

So it can't be JUST input

I think very similar. Direct: interacts with dust Indirect: interacts with any direct component Block: solid blocks that do nothing special

@@ImpossibleEvan I don't understand, if it is what I think, redstone block is a direct component by ky definition.

@@ImpossibleEvan or output some components can also output signals based on states of non-redstone-things, but that does make these components components, and not the non-redstone things which their signal depends on (like pressure plates, buttons, comparators, the rails which output redstone when a minecart is on them, observers or a trapped chest.

@@genio2509 but than pigs are indirect redstone components because they activate pressure plates arrows are indirect redstone components because they activate buttons players are indirect redstone components because they can open trapped chests

that door was fire

Also, bedrock redstone is just bad

can it be good when there are sometimes no rules how exactly it behavea

It is bad tho. You dont want randomness when using redstone. Thats like doing math where 2+2 = 4 but sometimes 2+2 = 5.

I play on Bedrock edition most of the time, but the redstone is actually random and broken on this version. Despite me being a Bedrock player, I believe that Java redstone is better.

I'd argue that that also holds for the observer, since you could otherwise argue that if using it, blocks such as sugar cane and grass were redstone components.

TNT is redstone

@@siriusb2045 YES

dripleaf is redstone

Hoppers don't have a function when powered, except having a weird hitbox. My definition would be: Blocks that output redstone, or blocks that change their state when powered by redstone, including indirect (rails). Edit: I forgot about slime blocks, which are redstone.

I disagree with this definition, heavily. As long as it has a unique and measurable interaction with other components, it is Redstone. Almost every block is Redstone.

Even in single player it has a use. If you for example need a door taller than 3 blocks, which isnt just cosmetic considering all the big mobs. So if you dont want to have to open loads of different gates or have a door mixed of doors and trapdoors, or be forced to destroy parts of the wall around it to move mobs through, then a piston door is practical.

at the speed of light jumpscare

every gd player:

they directly adressed that actually at 2:20 - they pose it's a property of the comparator, not the storage device. I agree with this as a similar relationship exists between mobs and pressure plates - I wouldn't say a chicken is a redstone component, but a pressure plate can give redstone signal based on their positions. A drawing isn't an electrical component just because you can take a digital photo of it, and in the same way a chest isn't a redstone component just because you can measure it with a comparator.

Exactly, it's like... why NOT strive to innovate, or optimise? Do things HAVE to be functionally practical in order for us to consider building them? It's exactly these sorts of people that push into the unknown that are responsible for all the amazing technology we take for granted today. If humanity throughout history had always been like "im only doing something if I can see an immediate use for it" we would still be wandering around with wooden clubs, bonking animals on the head to take back to our fire pits for dinner.

I love geometry dash

I like this definition as long as we treat it as contextual. If we don't, an issue arises where literally everything is a redstone component. A stone brick block is a redstone component because it can transmit power. It also can have dust placed on top. As a stone brick can serve an important role as a solid block in a redstone contraption, it could therefore be considered a component.

Rails in a junction can change shape when powered by redstone, so (at least under that circumstance) they should also count.

@@SamJNE122 true, i forgot that.

I'd say find a project you'd like to do, it can start small like "a 7 segment display" and then try to make it by yourself or search up tutorials online and try to understand what they're doing or their explanations. Also try to understand the concepts underlying each creation, rather than just remembering how the redstone is layed out, it's what I see a lot of beginners do which is bad imo. Learning the concepts will make you able to recreate it with redstone (using possibly different components too or different layouts!) whereas just learning the redstone layout is not knowledge you can apply anywhere else. It's like saying "thank you!". The underlying concept is to show appreciation, which from there you can derive what you should say in certain situations, and even come up with original ways of saying thanks. But just learning the phrase "Thank you" won't get you anywhere really, if you don't understand the concept. Hope this wasn't a weird explanation lol Anyhow what I used to do when I started out, was trying to make a redstone circuit by myself that I saw someone else do before. I didn't spoil myself how they did it, I just know they actually were able to, which is a good motivator to make sure what you're trying to do is possible! With time though you'll learn about what is and what is not possible, so coming up with new original machines is less scary. (Because making an original machine without knowing if it's possible to do is pretty daunting imo.) Hope this was helpful!

@@Sloimay definatly helpfull I’m gonna copy this to my notes to look at later thanks

First you should understand how all the different components work then use them to make something you think will be cool. If you need help I'm sure there will be tutorials on RU-vid for it

@@10carries thx I know somewhat how some of them work but not every little detail ofc like know repeaters can affect the “tick speed?” Or something in relation aswell as extending redstone . I remember being able to build redstone doors usualy the just those 2 by 2 ones but I haven’t dabbled in it ina while

@@limpfall13 ok I can try to explain it to you but I'm not the most qualified for this. You know how when you right click (on Java or use button on bedrock) a repeater the stick thing on it moves. This affects the tick delay. A tick is just a unit of time for Minecraft and 20 ticks equals a second. Almost everything that you do in Minecraft has to happen on a tick like placing blocks. Lag can slow down how many ticks happen in a second on servers causing block breaking delay and things. You can right click a repeater up to 3 times and if you do it a fourth time it will reset it to the default starting value. It starts with a delay of 1 tick and each time you right click it it adds 1 tick delay up to 4 ticks. Redstone power sources like redstone blocks or torches can power redstone dust but only for a few (I think 15 or 12) blocks. If you place a repeater then it will allow power to run through redstone again but only for the same distance as the block or torch. When it gets powered through it's front it will power dust at its back after a delay of however many ticks you set it to. The dust at its back gets the same amount of power as the dust next to a redstone block or torch would get allowing you the make the redstone line longer. This is the best I can explain but if you are still confused you might have to watch a tutorial on yt.

funny enough, pistons dropping blocks is probably the only bug bedrock redstoners would actually like to have,
