Xayllernste – I Built a Clock Tower to prove Redstone isn’t Hard (Minecraft Hardcore)

What if I told you that learning Redstone isn’t as hard as you think it is it might seem like this overcomplicated part of Minecraft you can never really understand but it doesn’t have to be that way you don’t always have to pretend that the Redstone tab doesn’t exist in creative mode

That’s why in this episode of Minecraft hardcore skill tree after learning how to build and how to survive we’ll be moving on to the third skill Redstone building a clock tower in the middle of the village we built in the last episode if things get complicated don’t worry

I’ll be here to hold your hand and guide you all the way through but first we need a star system the first and most important thing with a redstone project is starting with an organized inventory you know what they say clear space clear my save your futures of the trouble and

Organize your inventory at the start so I’ll build like a section here and a section here like a large hallway here alright I feel the deck haven’t I my God that’s amazing with an organized storage you can now get the materials you need in this video we’ll be using snap to its

Clock Tower design we’ll use a sticky pistons white blocks a light source block and Blackstone so first we need slime for the sticky pistons okay that’s done next we need a White Rock which means I’ll have to use concrete is one of the worst types of blocks changed my mind alright also

Something less boring so we need a light source block for the center of the clock we’re gonna use Sea lenters because they’re the only light source block that doesn’t look like bye let’s get out of here before I get the spoon enchantment lastly we need to get your base out Delta for Blackstone

Oh Foreign Almost died for this but we got it that lava incident gave me some really severe third degree burns help me pay my definitely real Minecraft hospitalization fees by donating to Super tanks thank you with everything you need perfectly prepared and neatly arranged we can finally start working on the clock I would recommend you to take it easy experimental stuff make mistakes and if something doesn’t work don’t take it personally just keep trying until it does I’m telling you this because even having a little bit of experience the clock still took me a good 10 hours to

Finish and that’s fine in fact let me look at most of what I’ve learned in one minute for you repeaters have three main functions refreshing Redstone power adding a delay or acting as a lock if you point another repeater into the side it will essentially lock the repeater

Into always being turned off or always being turned on comparators have two main functions it takes the Redstone signal from the bottom and Compares it to the signal on the sides the input on the bottom is stronger than the input on the sides the comparator gets powered up

And sends the signal forward it’s also used to count items like in a chest or a hopper and lastly you’re probably already familiar with purpose so all you need to know is that powering a hopper with redstone prevents it from transferring items with all the basics

Out of the way this is what we have to build now this seems really complicated doesn’t it but don’t worry Mama Fox is here and I’ll guide you all the way through I promise you this is actually easier to understand than it looks seeing all the parts at once makes it

Look more intimidating than it actually is so let’s separate it into three parts the hands the clock and the reset let’s start with the hands and the first layer of redstone these red sandals and repeaters are arranged in such a way that when it receives power it goes one

Big circle and Powers up every piston in a clockwise motion however this Powers every clock head we need to make it so that only one hand is extended while the rest are retracted so this leads us to the second layer and the third layer now once again don’t let all of this

Intimidate you all you need to know is that these two layers are powered by this one redstone torch it Powers all the repeaters on the second layer to act as locks for the repeaters on the first layer splitting the circle into eight parts one for each hand it essentially

Keeps the Redstone power in the exact part of the circle that we want preventing it from moving backwards or moving forwards to power the other clock hands unless we allow it to this allows us to cycle the power from one part to another so how do we cycle the power and

Change the position of the clock pad well this leads us to the other section of the clock the clock you see this clock doesn’t use the light levels to tell the time this daylight sensor isn’t the one that’s moving the clock hands it tells the time through a redstone clock a redstone

Clock is a power supply that turns on and turns off within a set amount of time these Pistons redstone blocks and Hoppers act as a timer since Hoppers can’t transfer items if they’re powered by Redstone we can place 188 of any item into the hopper rebada redstone block

And make it start counting down when all 180 of the items are transferred the Piston above it stops being powered allowing the piston on the other side to push the Redstone Block sending a signal through this Observer into this redstone torch to turn off the locks for half a

Second cycling the clock hands at the front and then starting the 188th countdown again you might be asking why 188 well Hoppers have a rate of 2.5 items per second giving us a clock that takes approximately every 75 seconds multiply that by 8 cycles and you get 10

Minutes exactly half a day of Minecraft so now we have a crop that’s essentially a 10 minute stopwatch which leads us to our final problem calibrating the clock I have a simulation distance of 20 chunks if I walk 21 chunks away from the clock or if I enter the nether the clock

Will stop ticking until I return and it’s also impossible to start the clock at exactly when the Sun rises unless you have inhuman reactions which I don’t so how do you solve this by having a second Redstone clock and then making a reset system that switches between the two

Clocks this is where the daylight sensor finally comes into the equation we’ve essentially made a research system that resets the entire circuit if we sleep how does it work I’m glad that you totally asked it all depends on this comparator if it gets powered up it reset the entire Circuit by sleeping

During the night we can instantly change the light levels from 0 to 14. this allows the comparator to be powered up for exactly one tick just before the delay on the repeater kicks in resetting the entire clock system in summary this one handles the clock hands this one handles the counting and

If the clock becomes inaccurate we can sleep in a bed and let this part readjust the entire system I hope I’ve explained the system well enough hit the like button if you’re fully understand or at least half understand my explanation of how it works this lets me

Know if I’m doing a good job explaining things or not I’ve tried pretty hard to simplify this as much as I could so I apologize if it’s still not fully understandable now it’s time for me to add my own spin to it snap made a one-sided Clock Tower I’m going to make

A four-sided Clock Tower you know this is actually a very important episode for me and let me tell you the story as to why when I was in high school I actually really liked physics I found it pretty fun my favorite memories of it were with the

Static ball machine thing but I would later fall out of Interest with physics because it started to get so difficult that it stopped big fun this is kind of a trip down memory lane because Redstone reminds me of what made me like mathematics and physics so much every

Question was just a puzzle that you could enjoy solving but much more importantly Redstone also reminded me that chemistry is just much better and is objectively the best science subject with just one hot take pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza Tomato is a fruit treated isn’t even the best Minecraft song it’s Aria math okay I think it’s supposed to work now hey I’ll say how beautiful this looks for later before that we have to build a tower all the way up to the clock put the tower in Clock Tower we’re gonna be

Using Spruce and deep sleep thanks to the wonderful suggestion of Taki ala jamai hmm I don’t just want to make it a complete straight line upwards wouldn’t it be cool if it like curved inwards and then cut back outwards oh my God I’m gonna give it an hourglass

Speaker I think I’ve proven somewhat that Redstone isn’t really as hard as you think it is now I’m not saying that it’s so easy that any 12 year old should be able to build a little computer in the game I’m saying that Redstone gets a

Bad rap when all you ever see are the super advanced stuff my hope is that I’ve made Redstone at least a little bit less difficult and give you the encouragement to pick up Redstone if you haven’t yet it might be a little overwhelming at the start but things

Will get better and the game will become easier if you just hang in there for a little bit long so keep trying alright the tower is done now it’s time for the best part of every Redstone build so snap to it my friend if you’re watching this your biggest mistake was showcasing

Your clock tower with C418 dog now don’t get me wrong I love dog as a song but you need to use a song that’s more abstract something that feels more mechanical something that makes a build feel much than it actually is and then showcase it with some over dramatic

Camera work and if you need an example allow me to demonstrate what I mean foreign Foreign If you’ve enjoyed this video then you’ll also enjoyed this video where I defended a village from a raid with 1002 foxes I’ll see you there huge thanks to John Sonic Elite zoo and video now for the super tanks foreign
