Minecraft: 3 Simple Piston Door Designs

Hello everyone this is mumbo welcome back to another redstone video and in this one we’re going to take a look at this handful of interesting piston doors now some of these might look just a little bit familiar because all of them were featured in the 20 doors in 100

Seconds video but of course that was a very quick look we just walk on straight through don’t take a look at any of the mechanics or any of the redstone behind them so what i thought we’d do today is this little video showcasing all of them

In just a bit more detail all in all i think they’re pretty cool so let’s take a closer look now the way that this video is going to be working is relatively simple we’re going to be reading it like a book going from left to right and all of the tutorials for

These doors can be found down in the description so anyway let’s crack on and take a look at the first door that i’ve got for you today this is the 3×3 cross store and there are absolutely no prizes to those of you who can guess why it’s

Called that we’ve got the block in the middle and then we’ve got the piston arms extending into it and i have to say i really like the way that it looks now if you flick this lever down at the bottom here you can see that the block

Gets retracted down into the ground and all of the piston arms retract into all of the other sections and the opening is relatively fast the closing is considerably faster and the opening and closing sequences look really very nice indeed taking a look around the back we’ve got all the redstone behind this

Thing and as you can see it is all incredibly compact and that is mostly because this door is a very simple one we’ve got a double piston extender and a few regular pistons to extend all of the double piston extender mechanics are handled down at the bottom here so then

It’s just a simple case of transferring the redstone signals up to all of the pistons that need it in terms of resources there’s nothing much to it so this one really is a good one for building and survival moving on to door number two now we have

Got this little thing now this is inspired by something that i recently saw in a hermitcraft episode by exuma void and i just thought it was really cool it was a cool looking door and i headed straight off to the drawing board and came up with a few redstone designs

And this one was definitely my favorite simply because it’s quite compact but also it has got an awesome opening and closing sequence as you can see here flick the lever all of the blocks get retracted one after another and it sort of looks like a bank vault it looks

Incredibly secure despite the fact that it’s got a hole in the middle i would definitely feel safe storing my diamonds behind this thing speaking of what’s behind it how about we take a look at what’s powering this thing as you can see it’s not quite as compact as the

First one i featured today is actually four blocks deep but that is of course because the door itself is relatively deep as well we’ve got a three block deep door which means i didn’t really have too much space for the redstone i could have made it slightly more compact

But that would have involved losing that awesome opening and closing sequence which is something that i didn’t really want to do now in terms of resources it’s quite expensive uses a lot of repeaters and also quite a few sticky pistons so if you don’t have a slime

Farm then this definitely isn’t for you but in all i think it’s a good one and finally for the last door that are featuring in today’s video we have got the 4×4 crosstalk this is essentially a scaled up version of the first door that i featured in today’s video we’ve got a

2×2 area in the middle with a few pistons extending inwards and i think it looks really cool once again i like this type of door design and it’s something i’m going to be using more often but anyway if we flick this lever here you can see that the opening and closing

Sequences are all very nice and fast and in sync and also on top of that the redstone is incredibly simple this is actually a simple circuit probably one of the simplest ones i’m featuring in today’s video which is quite something considering it’s also the biggest

Now as always if you do want to check out all of these doors in a little bit more detail there will be a world download down in the description for anyone that wants to check that out and of course if you do want to build any of

The doors that were featured in this video as i mentioned in the beginning all of the tutorials for these can be found down in the description as well i’ve put them in there as unlisted videos so that this video flowed a little bit better so let me know what
