Minecraft: The Redstone Counting System [Day 13!]

Hello everyone this is mumbo and welcome to day 13 of the redstone advent calendar today we’re going to be taking a look at this really awesome little contraption that you can create using droppers hoppers and a few comparators it allows you to count scores or do

Whatever you really want with it and i think it’s pretty sweet so let’s take a closer look so as you can see over here we’ve got ourselves a handful of redstone lamps i personally have set it up so that it’s five but you can set it

Up so that you have as many redstone lamps as you like now down here we’ve got ourselves a button if we hit that button you can see that the next redstone lamp turns on hit it again the next one turns on hit it again believe

It or not the next one turns on and if we hit it again the final one turns on then if we press it once more you can see all of them turn off and then the first one comes back on it essentially resets the mechanism allowing you to start all over now for

Those of you who have been watching my channel for a little while you might have seen this little thing popping up in a few of my builds i know that i’ve used it in hermitcraft on the reaction time minigame i also used it in tnt basketball and a few other builds that

I’ve done on my channel now the reason i use it so often is because it’s so very simple yet so very useful all we’ve got here is we’ve got a dropper with a hopper facing upwards when we hit the button the item inside this dropper goes

Up into the hopper then comes back down this is known as a monostable circuit now this gives us a perfect pulse length to allow an item inside this little hopper ring here to travel from one hopper to the next hopper then re-lock due to this redstone turning back on

Obviously every time we hit the button it skips a hopper and skips another hopper then skips the other hopper then finally when it gets to here and we turn off the redstone it goes into this set goes right the way around the back and then comes back round to the first one

That’s essentially how the entire mechanism works and it’s really quite simple now there’s no specific dimensions for this one simply because it really does depend on how big you want it to be but we’re going to get things started by placing down our dropper with a hopper facing down into

It make sure that you’ve got an item inside that dropper then you want to run a comparator output from this dropper right here up into this block like this place some redstone dust then a block with a repeater like that and now we’re going to create our hopper string so you

Want to place a couple blocks going across like this and then hoppers running right the way across like that and we’re basically going to feed it back around so run the hoppers round like this hopper’s going right the way around there and because i want this to

Be exactly the same as this one over here we’re going to have five hoppers in this string right here now coming out the side of all your hoppers you just want to place a blocks next to all of those going right the way out like that with comparators coming out of all of

These hoppers right here redstone dust on top of all your hoppers then you want to run those comparators into these blocks right here with redstone lamps on top of all of those and that is pretty much everything completed all we have to do is chuck an item inside one of these

Hoppers right here and if we shut down a button give it a press you can see that item moves across the hoppers and continues on its little cycle making its way right the way around so there we have it ladies and gents that rounds up today’s video i hope you found it

Interesting if you did please shout at 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 You
