Useful Redstone – How To: Simple Puzzle Map Ideas!

Hey guys you watching see one and only my name is AJ and we are back on another episode of useful redstone and this webisode is a little bit different we’re doing ideas for adventure maps you guys have been sending me in some messages saying that you had an adventure map or

You have an adventure map but you’re not quite sure on some redstone you want to get some stuff done so I’ve got the most popular sort of ideas and I’ve made them for you in a very very simple way so the first one here is a the redstone is

Broken here so we’re just using these two levers for now but if we flick one of the levers the door doesn’t open and if we flick the other lever the door still doesn’t even but if we have both the levers on the doors open and so you

Could have like one on one side of a room and one on the other side of the room and your partner your co-op partner has to go that way and you have to go that way and that both levers have to be flicked off or to progress into the next

Level or you can have it so that there’s more than two levers like this and now all of the levers need to be down for the door to open like that this is very very simple this is just a lever on a block with a torch on the back redstone

Leading all the way down you then invert the signal before you go underneath the door so underneath the door is on when all the levers are down but if not all the levers are down the redstone signal is powered by at least one of these torches because the levers up and then

Is inverted to us off so the doors not open so that’s the first really simple way to be able to make a little puzzle to be able to progress to the next room our second one you guys were asking about how to do like a lava bridge or a

Lava parkour so a lava bridge would work in the same way as what I’ve got set up here an impassable lava field here you can’t get past and yet you flick the lever and suddenly there is now platforms set up here to be able to parkour across so this is very very

Simple as well this is a just obviously a lever on here the missive signal goes down underneath here the redstone leads to a piston oh oh no no no oh we fix it it’s all good don’t worry about it there we go it’s all fixed you can see

It goes over to the second one which is down there and the third one which is here so you can see the piston here there’s piston they’re not going to go any further but once the piston at once the levers flicked off all the Pistons are down and

You can’t cross it so I don’t think I really need a tutorial on this either this is very very simple to be able to do and if you want to make it into a lava bridge you just put Pistons all the way along something you can do though as a cool

Effect is put some repeaters down let’s have one repeat on that one let’s have two repeats on that one and then let’s have a three the peas on maximum delay on this one so now when we flick the leaver they’ll come up at different times chug-chug-chug so that so that’s a

Little bit cooler I think that looks a little bit cooler and you guys can sort of do what you want with it but yeah I like that idea and the third idea we shall sleep away the night get it back right again it’s the last one now this is a little bit

More complicated but looks really really cool let’s get rid of that so we’ve got a little bit of a puzzle here we’ve got start here and the diamond block and then we’ve got finish I’ve got three buttons and depending on what button we press activates a different set of

Levers a different set of Pistons so you can have more than three Pistons you could have as many as you want but we can do the first one then there’s the second button do anything no that doesn’t move at the third one yeah and then the first one again and then we saw

The second one pulls those up so we hit that one and then the third one and then the second one to push it up again now I know the combination here but if you had more buttons and more Pistons and had this is a big wall thing

Be so cool especially if you have ways to go wrong and you’d have to pull them all the way back again is it number one now it’s number three then number one and the door still shut look and then when we hit number three and then number

One I think is yeah comes up the door opens now that the block is in the finished position position position there we go I got it so very very simple to do here we’ve got the three pizzas coming out of the bag and this sort of separates the three leads in fact you

Don’t need that second repeat that if you didn’t want you have that as a piece of redstone I did the same thing but that’s sort of separated the leads out and they’ve got one lead going that way one lead going under there and the third one going around here and then we’ve got

A collection of either normal Pistons or sticky pistons I know these bottom ones here there’s a sleepy person a nasty person there and one there so with the combination of pushing and pulling the diamond block hooked up to the different lead so lead number one goes up to that

Piston and it also goes up here all the way over to this piston and this piston and then it goes up there to that piston there and then our second lead comes through to here and this goes only into these two Pistons or two ones a push up

And then our thirdly does the rest a third lead comes up it goes into that one it goes up into that one and it goes up into that one but then it also comes up here underneath a little tunnel here to that one so this is fairly fairly

Simple to do fairly fairly fairly simple to do it looks a little bit complicated but it really isn’t let me show you a small example here let’s get some Pistons and some redstone let’s get a torch repeater add some buttons we use a block here and that should be alright so

Let’s have a go here we have a piston here a block here and we can do this even on the floor look so there because it’s there and that pushes it down to there so let’s make it so the end goal is here let’s put a diamond

Block here that’s where you would get it to and that’s what we’re moving so we need to get it onto there so fairly simple to do we get our three buttons but we do this design that you saw a minute ago one two three right and now

Now they’ve all split up we can make this third button go into that one let’s make this second one go into that piston and then let’s make this one split off this way so it doesn’t connect and go straight into that one and then we’ll make let’s make this third one do that

One as well so now we can push the buttons no not that one there we go and then we saw the first one move with that one and then is it that one note it’s this one no it’s meant to be that one why isn’t that

We’re moving look at that ah I see yes because this piston is moving as well and they’re blocking each other off look okay so we can fix this by in two ways we can either hook this redstone piston up to like number one or you can put a

Repeater in now we don’t know if this is enough let’s try it now chug chug there we go so now it’s over the end here so that way you can actually make a block move more than one block and like in a series of pistons in only one move

Which is really really cool so then to get this to actually activate something once you’re over it it’s easier when it’s on the floor like this and when it’s up in the air like this when it’s on the floor below it you’ll put a torch not that low

Put a torch like that and then have your output so then we have this to a a door here so then once the block goes over it let’s do this again nope not that one number one then that one then that one to finish off and the door opens up so

It’s quite easy to do when you’ve got it up here I’ve got a different way so I’ve got a torch and then over Peter going into the block witness at is finished position and then that powers that the block and brings the redstone signal down when the

Blocks not there it’s not power to the doors not open when it is there a similar can then be carried through when you’ve got Pistons next to each other like this you need to put the Peters as you can see I’ve got my Peters in front of every single piston upon this one

Here but in front of all the pistons I’ve got over Peter and it keeps the redstone signals from tangling up like if I had it down here look they would tangle up they would join up so instead you put a repeater there to make sure that they’re going into the right one

Same as if I had it up here now we’ve got them connected up to two different ones which makes it very very complicated instead you just need them like that but yeah it’s fairly fairly simple to do not really any any real trouble if you’re going over things make

Sure that the redstone signal is joining up together and if you’ve got red stone signals going and above a torch like here you see I’ve got a torch if I had a piece of redstone here it would be powered constantly but we don’t want that so instead we take that away we put

A repeater on top and now this torch isn’t powering this block to power the Redstone instead it’s just powering the block but that doesn’t power the repeater so yeah a couple of little easy they are easy builds and they take a little bit of work to do especially this will take

A little bit of work to work out this is vertical wiring but once you’ve got this understood it should be very very simple to do but you don’t really need vertical wiring you can take this away and have this as a staircase going up take that away like so okay not

Like that like that there you go and then we’ve got no vertical wiring instead it just weaves up I’ll just use vertical wiring just to keep it a little bit more compact but yeah that’s going to do it for this episode some little ideas for you to get some

Inspiration from and I can’t wait to see what you guys think up with if you guys build any of these like if you build a bigger version of that or a bigger version of this or make this into a really nice-looking design tweet them to me my Twitter is in the description

Below follow me on twit and tweet me your pics or tweet me your videos of these designs what you’ve done with these designs and I’d love to see them it’d be really cool I think this one would be really cool with a glass floor

So if you had this like as a floor like in a 20 by 20 area and you had the buttons above and he was standing on top of the glass like this fly damn you so you had a big wall of glass big flow of glass like this new standing on top of

It and you had to actually move it by pressing buttons and having a look and stuff like that I think that’d be really cool or you can have it like this so it’s on the wall and you’ve got to move them across but yeah that’s going to do
