BritishWeirdo – Minecraft Redstone Tutorial | Easy 4×4 Piston Door [Honey Blocks!]

I absolutely love piston doors it’s why i keep doing tutorials on them and today we’re going to be teaching you how to build a four by four piston door and i’ve done many other piston door tutorials on my channel here so if you want to go check

Those out there’ll be a link in the description to all of them so if we go ahead and push this wonderful button here it will activate this beautiful 4×4 piston door and look at that that is so awesome i love these piston doors honey blocks slime blocks flying machines observers just the most

Awesome thing added into the game so i actually went ahead and built this flush with the floor so you guys can actually see for yourselves how it will look when it is in your base or whatever build you are doing now before we get into the rest of the

Tutorial i just wanted to briefly mention that this will not work in bedrock you’re certainly welcome to try but it’s not going to i know it won’t work on your ps4 either because that is bedrock people get confused by that i really don’t know why but this is only for java

Also i did not come up with this redstone design there will be a link in the description to the inspiration for this video i just have to push this once more it’s just so cool this door is so awesome i mean look at it it’s beautiful and i actually went ahead

And built a piston door above the ground here so you can actually see the rest of them more clearly so i can try and explain this to you so you understand it a little bit better now i’m still getting the grips of redstone there’s still a lot i have to

Learn and a lot i don’t understand but don’t worry i’m kind of in the same boat as you so i’ll try and explain it the best i possibly can so when we push this button this button is going to power this block which then powers this

Dropper sending a pulse to all of these observers now these observers here as of right now don’t matter it’s only these two that matter because they’re going to send a pulse up to this block powering this redstone line powering all of these droppers which then in turns power these observers which kickstarts all

Of these flying machines and then if we go ahead and push this button you’ll see the door will start to descend and it’s really really cool and very very quick and pretty sleek as well so on the downward cycle we’ve basically got a bunch of observers going all the way down

And then we finally have two observers going down here to send a pulse to this block here we send a pulse to this redstone line which powers these blocks in return powering these droppers which then activates the rest of the observers now before i show you how to build this

Door i’m actually just going to let you know how you get it flush with the floor so what i did was i dug myself a 7 by 9 deep hole now the reason i did a 9 deep hole is because when you’re creating a redstone contraption you always want to leave yourself some

Extra space because you never know when you might need it and now obviously in this case i didn’t really need it but it’s nice to have a little bit of extra space to work with it doesn’t feel so cramped and claustrophobic and i get claustrophobic so i like having my space

Now i’m actually not going to show you how to build it flush with the floor today today i’m going to be showing you how to build this version just because it’ll be much easier to actually do it in form of a tutorial because trying to do this underground is gonna be very

Difficult to actually show you what to do so the first thing you’ll need to do is place down four blocks like so place a redstone line on top of those blocks place another block above there and then get yourself four droppers and place them in this direction

So make sure that the face of the droppers are facing towards you it doesn’t matter which way you do you can do it this way or you can do it in the opposite direction it really doesn’t matter you have to make sure that they are facing towards you when

You’re placing them down then get yourself four observers and place the observers like so then get your sticky pistons and place those sticky pistons on top of those observers then get your honey block or slime block and build up by four and then all you need to do is alternate between the two

To create your door and then you just do the same thing on the opposite side so you get your observers place four observers like so make sure they are all facing downwards you want to make sure the output is facing downwards then get your sticky pistons

Place them in as well then get your slime blocks and build down by four and obviously you want to alternate between the two again and make sure that they are opposite on each side because otherwise if they’re like this it’s going to stick together and you’re going to ruin your door

Now you just want to go ahead and build up your door build up a lovely door like this lovely jubbly now you want to go ahead and build up by five blocks ago one two three four five not there five there we go because this is where

The door is going to be stopped so obviously the door is gonna be coming up to here so now you want to get in your droppers so place a dropper there and then to place the droppers next to one another all you have to do is quickly shift

Click and then you can place them down sometimes you don’t always nail it like i just did there and it’s not too difficult to do and there you go now get yourself whatever kind of block you want i’m going to be using wool for this example because that’s what i feel like using

Place a block here another block here and another block here and they get a line of redstone going across all of these droppers and these blocks now the main bulk of the door is essentially done now all you need to do is actually place in the opening and closing mechanism

So all you need to do is just build down by a few blocks so just build down by three blocks break these two blocks get two observers and make sure they’re both facing in the upwards direction then get yourself a dropper and place a dropper you just have to quickly shift click

And then get yourself a observer shift click again and make sure it’s facing downwards get yourself another dropper shift click again make sure the observer is facing downwards once again finally get yourself another dropper and then place two observers in the downwards direction and there you go that’s your door done

That’s essentially everything done now all you need to do is place a block here get yourself a button and the door should hopefully be working and there you go you’ve just built yourself a four by four piston door this thing is seriously cool and pretty simple to build as well i
