What’s up everybody my name is captain welcome back to another minecraft tutorial today I’m gonna show you how to make a hopper clock or engine I guess if you want to further it that way can be used for both of them kind of as a timer Device or as a powering device as you see here is running all by itself err there’s really not much to it it’s pretty simple setup and it goes through and works in a specific time now one thing that’s really great about how this clock works is that you can kind of Configure it to the work to the time that you want so unlike doing a a specific kind of redstone clock which is like you know one take a clicks for ticks or something like that you can really kind of dial it into specifically how much you want it to run for how long And you know big delays and stuff so it’s really simple to actually make I’m gonna say I did not invent this I saw a version of it on another video somewhere that was non-related and so I kind of broke it down disassembled it put it back together and came up with what you Have here and I want to show you guys how to make it so here we go alright first off while you’re going to knees pretty much this stuff that you see down on my item toolbar here – redstone torch this was for something else just some redstone you’re gonna to comparators to Hoppers a block of redstone I’m just using wools just for design purposes and two sticky pistons so if you’re doing this it’s a probable mode you got a little bit of work to do to get it ahead of time easy easy way to set this up Here just two rows of six blocks like this side by sudden and then you’re gonna want to decide on the backside here just one of these two we’re gonna call this the back so it’s really easy to figure out which direction you’re going okay now at the very first part Here what you want to do is you want to drop a hopper right on top of it there now right next to what you will do is hold ctrl and click it so that this hopper goes into that one break this one I know it’s crazy right and put this one Back on here so that they go back into each other it’s important that they connect to each other like this if they don’t it won’t work okay now what you need to do is take your comparators and put them on opposite sides of the hoppers facing away from each other like That okay you put another block here at the very end of it and to the sides of it what you’re going to do is you’re going to put a sticky piston facing each other like this so you can kind of see what’s going on here I just want you to be able to see what’s going on okay then you’re gonna take your block of redstone and attach it to either one it really doesn’t matter and then right here is going to be where you want to run some redstone out so you can Kind of see the direction that’s going if you’re gonna have this run off to your automated farm or your mobs and grinder or whatever else you want to actually have there and then all you need to do is put a redstone in this corner and a redstone of this corner and That’s it that’s all there is to it now comes the slightly slightly complicated part this really isn’t that hard but it takes a little bit of thought process to go into here okay a standard hopper sucks out 2.5 items every second I know it’s it’s an odd Number so it makes doing the math on it a little bit hard but just think of this for every item you have in there it’s going to go pretty much instantly so for one second it’s gonna take out two and a half items that means if you want to do Five items it’ll give you two seconds if you want to do ten items it’ll give you four seconds you’re gonna put twenty items in there give you eight seconds set cetera so if you’re one to try and figure out exactly how long you want it To go let’s say you’re like okay well I need to get every 10 seconds I want it to go off here so you basically just do the math of ten seconds times two point five gives you 25 items here so you would take out 25 I’m sorry I can’t Count put it in here and you’ll see it starts sucking it out and putting it back into here and once it gets completely full on the opposite side it’ll trigger the comparator over here and it’ll push the piston back over here triggering the redstone block powering Out – coming over here so you can sit here in time and if you want to and I tested it out it’s pretty much dead on exactly – every 10 seconds so if you’re trying to figure out exactly how much you want to be able to put in there That’s the math that you do if you put in a full stack of something 64 items in there it doesn’t come out even it comes out to like twenty five point six seconds which it or let’s just kind of rounds up and down at the same time and it was really crazy But it’s like every other time it seems like a little bit faster than the last one here so if you feel a hopper completely full which is three hundred and twenty items it’ll take it a hundred and twenty eight seconds you know a little over two minutes for it to go Through and click it here I don’t know any practical applications as to why you would need that much of a delay in it but I guess maybe if you have some sort of automated form and you want to give everything time to actually run then you actually can so that’s pretty much it It’s just you take however much time you want this thing to run multiply it by two point five and then I tell you how many items you actually need to put in there so like I needed to go every 30 seconds multiply that by two point five You need to fill this up with 75 items which you can use these other slots here for like I said once it gets completely over then it’ll recognize the comparator will recognize hey I have slightly more power than this one over here so I’m gonna light up my piston and force it The other direction now as you can see they’re both lit up here and as you watch it ships see it one goes off for just a second because it’s just long enough for all the items that get over and then it starts going right back again so it works as a pretty reliable Clock and I haven’t found that if this causes any kind of lag in like multiplayer servers so I mean cuz it’s only going hopper is the only thing that’s really going until you start having it you know really work on it here so let’s say if I was going to take Out I’m sure many blocks that have been there any more here I’ll take out this money just to see how money’s actually there cuz I can’t remember how to put it in but you can see I took out some of the blocks and so it’ll start going a Little bit faster let me see I’ll take out five of them now so it’s going pretty quick you’re not going to get a whole lot faster than that because it’s two items so you got two items in here that’s right about one second one one thousand two one thousand one one Thousand two and that’s about it that’s about as fast it’s gonna get if you took out one of the items there it wouldn’t go any faster so anyway that’s pretty much all there is to it I hope you guys enjoyed this maybe learn something from it if you have any questions you know Don’t hesitate to ask leave them in the comments below and I’ll try to answer them any time just use this be creative and you can come up with you have a good one I’ll catch you later Video Information

With it setup like this, you have a wide range of times you can set the clock to activate with. Way more customizable than a standard 5-clock or any other redstone clock for that matter.
