First thing, let’s talk about the chiseled bookshelf. We’re going to be using this to activate all of our redstone doors and such. The way that you can tell what is happening with the chiseled bookshelf is by using a comparator. So as I fill this bookshelf up with books, you’ll notice That the redstone on the backside of this chiseled bookshelf is adding up. And you’ll also notice that there’s six lights here that are turned on. The bookshelf is full with six different books. But if I tried to remove all of the books and I’m down to zero books, Why the heck is this light still on? Why does it still say one? That is because the comparator is only telling you what was the last updated book slot, not how many books are in the bookshelf, which can be confusing later. Right? If I’m sitting here putting in and removing A book from number one, you’d expect the redstone to be changing. But because we’re only messing with the first slot, the redstone on the backside isn’t going to update if we start moving into the second area, then it will update and then back into the first area it will update. So once you’ve put really anything inside of this bookshelf, then you will never be able to get back down to Zero Redstone coming out of this comparator right here. Even if we break and place down the comparator again, it still knows the last block update on this block Was the first bookshelf little spot that a book should go. So it’s always going to output one. So you need to keep that in mind that whenever we are doing anything with these, it’s always checking to see what was the last change to a book, not how many books are in the bookshelf. Now I’m going to show you the easiest way to set up a secret door using these chiseled bookshelves. This is a simple, little, easy, chiseled bookshelf. And then the moment that I put two books into this bookshelf, a secret door opens and I’m able to get below into a secret room. It’s not very exciting, but hey, it’s a secret room. Maybe you didn’t know about it before, and I can easily jump out of this and then remove the books, and then my secret passageway closes up again. Now, this has some disadvantages. One is that you don’t need a specific amount of books, just anything past. Two is it’s open. You can fill this thing all the way up and it will open. So there’s no like perfect number that you need. Will have one of those designs later on in the video. All you need for this super simple design is right here is a bookshelf, some glass, a redstone torch, a sticky piston, two dust, one comparator, a few books and some type of solid block. In order to build this, we do want us to be up one block So the floor will be basically where we’re standing. And then this block here is the one that is going to be removed. So we’re going to put down our chiseled bookshelf. Then on the back of that, we are going to need to put the comparator. The next block that this runs over is going to be glass. And then a solid block. We can put our redstone dust on top of that and then a redstone torch on the back of that. Now our sticky piston pushing forward to the block That we want to be removed and we are all done. This is the setup. The moment that we add more than two or two or more books, the piston will pull back. And then the moment that we go back down to messing with that first book slot, Then the piston will go back into place. Basically, once the redstone gets over here, it’ll turn off this torch, pulling back the sticky piston so that we can keep it secret. And of course, if you’re going to keep this secret, make sure that you put like a wall or something over this thing, And then you won’t be able to tell that there is any type of redstone going on and it will be all hidden, so you can easily make a secret door. Let’s get into something a little bit more complicated next. With this next design line, it is a bit more complicated, But it’s also a bit more secure because we’re able to get this redstone to a point where it will only work if the exact number of books has been added correctly. So in this situation, that fourth book needs to be the one that’s been messed with last. So once I pull that out, you can see that the redstone lamp turns on. If I mess with any other type of book slot, then it will not work until we get to the fourth one and then it will power on. And so we can use this to open up a redstone door Or really anything that we want. But I want to show you the mechanism that is making this possible where if you’re at any other spot, it won’t work. But if you are at the correct book slot, it will work moving to the back where our redstone is. This is the setup. Basically, every time that we are messing with a book slot, our comparator, it will go up one level in Redstone once we get here and you’ll notice this is one, two, three, four away because we’re messing with the fourth book. There is a torch right here. The fifth one leads into a repeater. So what’s happening here is if you have anything but the fourth, so we’re going to add an extra here. So now we’re at the fifth here. So if we’re at one more, our redstone reaches to the fifth and then it activates this repeater causing this redstone line to turn on. But if we are below for messing with the third one, then the redstone hasn’t quite got to this torch. So this torch is on also creating an on state for this line. But if we’re exactly at the fourth book, then the redstone is right here turning off this torch And it’s not strong enough to push on this repeater. So therefore, this line is turned off. If this line is turned off, we’re all good to go. We have a situation here where it is inverting the signal and that is turning on our lamp and we can move this however we want. But we do have to ignore the first spot because it’s always going to be on. Remember how over there that is always on. So spot number one won’t work. But if I wanted to, I could move this to spot number two. We still have the same situation. I just need to move my repeater to an area where if we have any redstone signal right here that it’s going to continue to repeat, we don’t need that one anymore and I don’t take my repeaters long enough, so we just add some redstone right there. But there you go. So now we have changed the code basically, so that it will only turn on when we have messed with spot number two and there you go. Now it is turned on because that is turning this off and all of that is on. Here is an example of that put in to practice. So we have this big wall right here with lots of books. Some of these are chiseled bookshelves and we don’t know which one we have to use in order to actually activate our door here. Oh, it looks like we got it. Oh, wait. Oh, my gosh. I didn’t. I added too many. Okay, so now I need to figure out how where. Okay, is it? Over. There we go. Okay. Okay, well, we figured it out. Now we can go into our secret area and get our diamonds. Now, that method is not very effective. When it is just one little thing, it’s like one code. Well, I can easily guess the one code because I can just mess with it enough that we get, you know, a correct answer eventually. But what if we have it so that it needs three codes and all three need to be correct without knowing where you’re supposed to be to Actually get this light to light up, you’re going to have a hard time trying to guess the correct code. If you’re now dealing with three different blocks that need to all have the correct code locked in. Now, I remember that we need this to be at the fifth one. This one needs to be at the fourth one, and this one needs to be at the third one, which this was the third one was being messed with right there. So this was the code five, four and three. But remember, it is confusing Because you can technically like mess with it and it’s all correct. I know this is so confusing, but that is the code. And finally the light turns on. But if anything is not those those codes, if one of them is incorrect, then it just will not work. We have a very similar setup to what I showed over here with just one code, but we have tripled it. So over here you can see one, two, three, four and the fifth one has our light right here. Over here we have one, two, three, four. And then we have our torch. And then over here we have one, two, three, and then we have our torch. So let’s go ahead and make this together so that you can understand it a little bit better. We’re going to start off with our three bookshelves, right? They are just going to go right there on the back of our bookshelves. We are going to need three comparators. Those are going to go right back here now comparators start to kind of mess with each other. And we also need to make sure that our redstone doesn’t overlap And you can actually put a comparator into a block and then that block will output a redstone signal equal to the comparator. So we’re going to use that technique here to kind of get around having these three competitors right next to each other. We kind of maxed out at three here. Remember, the maximum number of books that you can add is six. So really we can only ever go, one, two, three, four, five, six. That is how high this will ever get me. Show you that real fast. So we have six in here and our redstone is all the way lit. This one is not powered. As you can see, the particles over here, but not over here. Now we have to choose our code. And so that one over there was four, three, two, let’s do the opposite. So let’s do two, three and then four. This will be our code and I’ll show you exactly how to lock this in. So underneath our redstone over here, I’m going to want to dig down one block. Now that that is done, we are going to add our redstone torches. I went ahead and added the books correctly. So we have two, three and four. So these should stop exactly where they need to be at each level. So we’re going to put that that torch there. You can see the redstone line is on, but the next one is not turned on yet. So we need it there, there and there. And because this block is one or this line is one block ahead of the others, sometimes your torches will seem like they should be like in a perfect step pattern. But they’re not. And that’s why we’re seeing that here. So now that our torches are down, I want to break any redstone After the one that is turned off. So we need the line that is turned on and extra space and then break the rest of the redstone because that is where we’re going to set down our repeaters. That way, if anyone inputs the incorrect code, if it’s one more than our code, These repeaters will make the signal so strong that it’ll go all the way back to the beginning. With that, I know that I don’t really need those extra blocks, but I do want to step down. Our Redstone right here. So now I’m going to have to decide where I want my output to be. And so let’s say that my output is over here. And for this purpose, I’m going to use another sticky piston because it seems like a lot of like secret doors are run with sticky pistons. So we want this sticky piston to turn off when we get our redstone signal. So I’m going to put down a block here and put a redstone torch. That way it is. Press forward. Let’s imagine that this is some type of actually here. Let’s build this into the floor because, oh, my gosh, I’m missing the floor. Many of these designs like to kind of like remove the floor. And so we are going to put our piston here and then our block right here. This is the floor that we’re going to remove. And I put this here and then put this here, and that will extend the piston. And then when it’s powered off, we’ll have a hole to go to our secret area. Now that we have our output set up, I want all of these lines to go to the output. Right? So we’re going to try to snake this all the way around over to the output and if at any point it becomes much longer, we’ll have to add a repeater. I don’t think that we have that issue here. So we have both repeaters all hooked up to the output. Just because I’m a little bit paranoid, I’m going to put an extra repeater right there just to keep the redstone signal going. So if any of these are more than what their codes should be, these repeaters will turn on, and any one of them will be enough power To make sure that that torch right there does not turn on or off or. Yeah, right. Because I do have this backwards. I want this to actually be the other way. I want to no, yes, we want the torch to turn off that way, That the piston will extend back and we’ll have access to our secret. It gets confusing back to our secret base. Okay, now, that was just one step. We’ve hooked up all of the repeaters. Now let’s hook up all of these torches, because if any of these torches are turned On, that means that we don’t have enough signal quite yet. So that will also be a reason that we would want to not activate the door. And so if we hook it up just like this, we want redstone below our torch. So directly below our torch we have redstone. So that if this is turned on, they’ll power this. And that will be enough power to get all the way back to this block. We just happened to have these two in a line. So this goes below that. We need redstone below that. And same thing right here. We just already happened to have redstone below that. So let’s mess up this code. I’m going to add one extra block, one extra thing right there. And I did get it wrong. Nonono we want this to be like so where it is always powering until we get it correct. Like so and then it will open up. That’s right. Okay. So I inverted my signal for no reason. So I’m going to take a book out of each one of these. And so our our signal is too weak. So that turns on our torches, which starts this redstone line all the way back. And remember, that can just be a single one. So and so I have it set up right here. So you can see that even just one redstone torch, everything is correct. All of our code is correct except for this one, which doesn’t have enough power yet. So this redstone torch Is keeping everything lit, and then that can also be the opposite. So right here, that is, I hit the correct code for a half second, but now this is the only one that has too many books. So now the redstone is too much. And so this repeater is causing all of this to be lit, which means that it will not actually let that piston go back. And there you have it. Basically a noob pro hacker level of these chiseled bookshelves. The noob option is just this situation Where you just need at least two books and then it’ll open. The prose situation would be having a code, although you can kind of easily guess the code by just spamming enough times. And then the hacker situation is where you need to know the exact code because you have to get it correct All three times in order to. I don’t even remember. There we go. In order to actually get the correct situation on your redstone, I hope that you found this video useful and helpful for you so that you can adapt all of this to your own base.
