If Minecraft REDSTONE was Replaced by RAILS!

Today i received a rather hilarious challenge we’re going to be replacing redstone wires with minecart rails we’re going to try our best to see what sort of contraptions we can make if the only way that we could transmit redstone signals is by sending a minecart around a track

And just as a quick warning you might want to start getting used to that noise because you’re going to be hearing plenty of it in my hotbar are all of the items i’m allowed to use all the different types of minecart rails of course a minecart a lever for the input

And only the input and then we’re allowed observers sticky pistons and regular pistons that’s everything first task double piston extender so i think i might have done the extension circuit for this thing it’s pretty simple and also pretty small let’s just make sure all of our pistons and everything like

That are in place and if we place in this minecart right here and then flick it on there is the extension and also our minecart makes its way up to the top which means that we can then stop it somewhere ready to do the retraction circuit because obviously we’re only allowed to

Use one minecart and the retraction circuit has to be on the falling edge which could be tricky actually this is going to be really really tricky so this lever right here is what’s going to launch our minecart but then once it goes around it’s then going to be

Stopped here then when we flick the lever it will allow the minecart to move on to the next section where we have to I guess extend and retract this one then extend retract this one and then do the middle one ah this is gonna be so difficult things are getting pretty beefy they’re getting pretty huge i think i’ve worked out the logic for the top circuit we just have

To make sure that all of these things are powered but as you can see this is not going to be a small it’s not going to be a small contraption i think that’s safe to say so let’s give this a go then all of this is powered we

Should have full minecart coverage now the blue circuit is the extension circuit and then the orange circuit is the full retraction circuit and this right here is where our singular minecart is going to be going so let’s replace this block replace both of these pistons and by the look of things i’ve

Accidentally powered it somewhere now that that’s been fixed let’s give this thing a whirl so when we flick this lever we should see that we get the full double piston extension oh no this is not good my idea for a stopper hasn’t worked but it’s all right because i’ve come up

With a new one this is a little platform that will extend out holding our minecart on top of there and then when we want to do the retraction it will drop the minecart down so that it can continue on on the circuit so let’s give it another go right we flick the lever

And we should get the full double extension and then our minecart stops up at the top right there and then when we want to do the retraction it drops down and oh it’s a little bit too quick things are getting more and more complicated by the seconds so this is the circuit that

We’ve had to add to actually get the minecart back to the start and i’ve also had to make some changes up at the top but hopefully now fingers crossed this thing is fully functional and three two one extension that’s good and then retraction this is the bit that’s worrying slow

But successful and then we can flick the lever again and there is the extension and it will be held and then we can flip the lever once more and we can do the retraction okay so we have successfully created a double piston extender even though it may be the biggest double

Piston extender on the planet we have done it using minecarts so now let’s move on to the next one i thought i would try doing a t flip flop but then i realized that actually minecarts make that really simple look we hit the button and we get ourselves an output

And we hit the button again and it turns off the output i mean if you ever needed a visual representation of a t flip flop i think this is the perfect one for it call me ridiculous call me insane but i want to build a 4×4 vault door that’s that’s

Kind of like the end goal here uh i just thought i’d give it a whirl i mean it is it is going to be a complex thing to construct though like seriously seriously seriously we’ve got double double piston extenders and a whole bunch of other piston action going on we

Might have to involve two different minecart tracks here do i think this is going to work i’m not 100 certain but am i willing to try it absolutely this could be a really simple breakthrough in our minecart double piston extender technology oh that was so close so the top one actually functions look

If we place in a minecart now [Laughter] we’re really really almost there i wonder why i wonder why it’s the only only the top one that’s insane maybe this maybe this setup will work i think that did it i genuinely think that just did it

Look can you see so we we have we have the pistons let’s place in some blocks so that we can see this happening so we hit the button that’s the extension and yeah there we go so if we wanted to retract this thing obviously we’re going to need to place in a minecart

There we go that is awesome nicely done very very nicely done okay well that’s like that’s a large quantity of the vault door just completed right there now if this functions i’m actually going to go into shock i think because what i’ve done is i’ve added in a few extra observers and

Things so this will extend out these blocks to here and this one will extend out hopefully these blocks to here to give us a large quantity of the vault door all done so if we hit this button no surely not look at that that’s like a substantial quantity

And it retracts all of it as well and that’s just one minecart rail now because this entire thing is just three blocks wide i kind of want to keep it three blocks wide just to see if i can manage to pull it off so for these ones all we’re going to need

Is some of these and then some of these and that will do it okay so then we just need to make the minecart go down there round here and then back up so the minecart will then fall back down there that needs to be powered so it will land on top of this

Minecart rail and then go across like that and fall back to the start so one complete loop going up and around powering everything and in theory just three blocks white now i could give this one side ago to see if it all functions or i could

Mirror it build the same thing on the other side as well put both minecarts in and just see if the entire door functions all as one this is nerve-wracking let’s go mildly embarrassing mildly mildly mildly embarrassing not what i had hoped for did they just not have the energy what happened there oh

Okay i can i can think of ways i can salvage this so what i’m going to do is i’m going to move this observer setup that was originally here to over here and then that is going to run into that block there which will power that piston

This one deals with this piston so that’s all fine so that means that now we have powered rails much sooner than beforehand so it should catch on to this and then be brought up like that yeah so this is the original setup this is the new one much much better i’ve

Just discovered a slightly fatal floor in the design but i just hope that the actual mechanism itself works which is so almost it we’ve got an issue down here that is a problem but what happened to this one block what’s wrong with this what happened i’ve made it more reliable

But i’ve now run into another problem i can no longer run an input into this thing there’s no way for me to do it ah it hurts my brain i can’t work it out i cannot work it no i still can’t work it out i thought

I’d come up with something but i hadn’t i can’t handle myself i just want to see if it works i’m adding a little bit of redstone it works flawlessly it works absolutely flawlessly it’s even kind of in sync until it’s not as soon as these things get out of whack

It has to be in perfect synchronization otherwise these don’t work which has all been fixed and now we also have our input circuit which of course utilizes minecarts as well originally i was going to run a redstone line into this thing but then i thought that would not be in

Keeping with this challenge so we hit this button and that will activate the minecarts they travel off and we get ourselves a fully functioning 4×4 volt door everything returns back to the start and when we hit the button once again we get the full opening sequence as well

I am proud of this thing i am stupidly stupidly proud of this thing minecart does take a little while to launch off so you might need to make some changes there but other than that it’s perfect i mean i i can’t believe we’ve actually managed to pull this thing off

And so compactly as well we have nailed it so there we go that is what would happen if we replaced redstone wires with minecart rails i hope you enjoyed this video if you did be sure to that like button and if you really loved it then make sure to subscribe but thanks

For watching guys this has been mumbo and i’m out i’ll see you later and as for usual check out the latest film on the filming channel new one just released today it’s a gooden you should watch it see you later You
