This Redstone Build LOST Me $10,000…

This is minecraft’s biggest redstone contest featuring the best redstoners in the world whoever creates the most insane redstone builds in 24 hours will win 10 000 this all started with just one dm that somehow spiraled into one of the hardest redstone creations i’ve ever shown on my

Channel and to see where the story began we have to go all the way back to the december sip over teased the idea of a redstone contest but with a twist instead of featuring his fans whose skill range might vary dramatically he wanted to host a contest with only the

Very best that no one ever was he already had a head start with the five people he hired for his previous video and it was our mission to hunt down 25 more so we all started dming as many redstoners as we possibly knew and a few

Weeks later we had a discord server with 30 of the best redstoners and a date for the competition we had about a week to figure out what we wanted to build that day and prepare our design so what the hell was i gonna make i needed to think

Of something flashy something that could impress three judges who knew nothing about redstone and bonus points if they got to interact with it i needed to make a minigame but which one did i want to play it safe and recreate a redstone build i had already made or did i wanted

Yeah no this is a crafty masterman video i decided it was a good idea to recreate a game i barely even knew how to play from real life because i hate myself and it makes for good content the game was minesweeper but on a map could i design

It from scratch in a week well there’s only one way to find out now there are two kinds of people in this world those who understand minesweeper and you watching this video released in 1990 as part of the microsoft entertainment pack one microsoft minesweeper eventually made its way to windows installation starting

In 1992 with windows 3.1 the aim of the game is to clear all the cells without clicking on a mine as fast as possible when a cell is left clicked you can either get an empty cell a number or a mile an empty cell will spread to other

Adjacent empty cells until it gets stopped by a number a number tells you how many minds are in its surrounding 3×3 area and a mine well you don’t want that right clicking on a cell will place a flags act like a visual marker for your suspected mind lagging mines isn’t

Required to win but can be useful to keep track of the board oh and the original has this yellow guy who is trapped in the game for all of eternity so you have to make all of this in minecraft just using redstone oh boy First day was all about designing the look and feel of the board of my minesweeper game plots on the competition server were 101 by 101 which means they were just a little too small for the 128 pixel map i didn’t care for the board was to keep that fresh 90s

Aesthetic which was pretty easy to do in a block building game after spamming three different gray blocks for an hour we have our first minesweeper board and yes i said first now i needed a way to display the elements of the game update’s technology presents the lava crystal display using cutting edge

Dispenser technology craftage has created a dual-colored cemetery display compatible with the latest map displays capable of all you might treat me as well as other things that require very square looking numbers too thank you craftymasterman ceo of crafttays this is perfect 10 minutes of copy pasting later and our board is done

And so is day one on days two and three we started making the redstone to make these dispensers actually do something and display some numbers the first thing we did was add a decoder which turned a redstone signal into a number based on its signal strength we did this by using

A red coder connecting to all the different dispensers with each slice representing a different number now we needed our key component the interact shift is a fancy word for making the buttons do something actually useful but we also needed to make sure that only one thing can display on each cell at a

Time and that they don’t overlap each other and break so spamming a bunch of toggles and wiring that cancelled other wiring later and we can now activate a number or a flag but not both because that’s bad if the last two minutes of the video already confused you then i got bad news

For you buddy because it’s about to get a whole lot worse so far all we’ve done is make two buttons display a number or a flag so no real logic or decision making redstone has been made yet for example what determines what number should show up if a cell is revealed

Well that’s what i have to figure out for days four and five to count bombs every cell has to check its neighboring 3×3 area and every time it finds a bomb it has to add one to its total count because we’re using signal strength to encode the number as opposed to binary

Ones and zeros adding will be much more compact and simple to make thank god after fiddling around aimlessly and parkouring on my redstone for about two hours i came up with this really nice and tiny single strength adder that we use the way it works is using subtraction which literally makes no

Sense since we want to make an adder so let’s break it down and explain how it does its match let’s try three lecterns in our circuit each outputting a signal strength of one we can see that the output is a signal strength of three using this fancy resource pack basically

This long line of comparators is getting full power from this torch and every time we add a lectern it subtracts one from that original signal by the time it gets to the end of the line a full signal of 15 has been reduced to 12 and

With one last subtraction of 15 minus 12 you get a final output of three wow we have an adder that’s so great that’s so amazing because it’s not even connected to anything so it’s basically useless so i frantically spent the last of day five connecting every goddamn mine supercell

To every other minesweeper oh my god it’s competition day already uh so yeah it’s the day of the competition so our 24 hours have technically started so what did we have well um our minesweeper game kind of works i mean there’s bomb detection you can tell if there’s a bomb on each cell

Um but we don’t have zero spread the bombs can’t place themselves randomly and we don’t have any win-lose detect so um what’s even the point oh whatever we’ll just skip to the sip over video and see what madness happened over there of course with so many contestants there’s bound to be a bad

Apple one of those is crafty mastermind a bad apple yeah my man threw 10 grand by giving up on his redstone minesweeper game which would have been cool and decided to play able sisters over his mic all right fine i’ll do it i’ll goddamn do it i’ll make the best redstone minesweeper game

You’ve ever seen in your whole life i’ve now wasted six minutes of your time and my redstone reputation is now in shambles i should at least repay you with a working redstone contraption in this video right all the redstone you’ve seen so far pointless except for the

Saturn we still love it so as soon as the competition ended i spent another two weeks making not one but two more minesweeper games because the first version was that bad in rush it would have paid me to end it version 2 had every number in its decoder as opposed

To only half of them and version 3 ran so much faster made version 2 look like a snail racing jeffy beast flying space weiner all those missing features we mentioned 30 seconds ago they are all here because i finally decided to be smart and do my redstone well and take

My sweet sweet time and since we have a brand new minesweeper game we should give it a new name to describe its uniqueness so from now on we’ll be calling it mapsweeper because it’s a really cool pun and it sounds way better now there’s only one thing this redemption needs the judges otherwise

What’s the point so i loaded up a 1.18 world and pasted my fat map super game smack in the middle of it and set up a server to beat with the judges once again so let’s see what happens okay so you’re gonna press that button and when you press a button

Uh you just sound like a biggie impression of like trump it’s literally dream wait how did you do that where is the smiley face is it down here it’s this thing it’s this oh i’m gonna win big today brother oh my god no mine no mine that’s not a mine gonna

Be nice like i don’t know how to play minesweeper but this is impressive forgot what’s going on the map is really cool it was really well done actually i’m going over here because there’s no bad numbers the corner is always a safe bet how did you kill him already crafty mastermind could

Like express your voice in different times nick have you ever watched a crafty mastermind video i’m not gonna lie i haven’t cause editing is actually crack i wanna keep talking about all right swiftly moving on you can find both the downloads of the testing world and the final minesweeper version in the
