Working Redstone Clock Tutorial V2 | Minecraft (Java Edition 1.19.2+)

About a year ago i made a tutorial on a redstone clock and people seemed to like it well now i’ve made a new design and it’s a lot smaller just like the original it has an hour hand that goes around twice every minecraft day and it resets whenever a

Player sleeps so that it’s always as accurate as possible let’s say that you just spent an hour in the nether with the clock in unloaded chunks and you return to find that it’s fallen behind simply sleep when you can and the clock will reset back to the correct time

Problem solved here are the materials you will need you can use any solid blocks you would like my choice of white concrete for the redstone portion is based purely on looks however the use of glass in a few spots is required this tutorial will only cover the redstone

I’m leaving the exterior to you i have included a few examples of clock towers throughout the video though if you’d like a little inspiration although it’s not strictly required this clock works best if it’s built into spawn chunks so that it doesn’t have to be constantly re-synchronized by sleeping

To start off the build place a glowstone block where you want the center of the clock to go and we’re going to go out on every side by four blocks using some temporary blocks like so and i’m going to use polished andesite to build the outer rim of the clock

So placing in little panels like this and we’re going to connect these up with some smaller little squares of andesite like so do the same thing for the top all right we can remove the temporary blocks right now don’t need them and we’re gonna go around the entire

Inside of the clock with smooth quartz just like this and then around the glowstone block i use chiseled quartz just think it looks kind of nice and then we’re going to make a little two indents like this two block indents going around clock like that and this basically marks out where the

Actual hand of the clock will go through we’re going to cover up the glowstone with a trapdoor and we’re going to take polished blackstone walls and place them in the corners like this to mark out the different positions the hand can be in to smoothen out the edges a bit we’re

Going to use some slabs at the bottom here and here and at the top as well and then some stairs for the very side and just like that that’s the start to our clock for this next part we’re going to go around to the back of the clock and

We’re going to place some temporary blocks going back by two from all of the slots that we’ve made just like that now going back around to the front we can place our sticky pistons in place in all of the spots here like that then going back around we can break these temporary blocks

Some of them will be coming back but for now we don’t need them We’re gonna place two uh target blocks here and here and then at the very top above this piston i’m gonna use concrete for the actual redstone portion you can use other blocks if you’d like replace two of them there and then redstone dust on top of both of them

For this next portion we’re going to place blocks on the pistons to connect them up in a very specific shape so starting at the bottom here we’re going to make this x shape like this then coming out on both sides we’re going to go out by two blocks

On this side we’re gonna go up back over a block here here and then this block has to be glass then two blocks over two blocks on top of it like that i’m gonna go make a little diagonal line like that back over by two blocks and one more block here

Now we’re gonna place repeaters all on three ticks right here here right here one right here and this space right here right there and then finally here and there and we’re going to connect these up with redstone dust like so on top of both of these blocks as well as right there

Down here into there and then no redstone is needed right here so it should look like this when you’re all done on the back side here we’re going to place some blocks leading into the repeaters just like this and on all of those except for this

First one which is going to be a one tick repeater they’re all going to be such a two ticks so click placing it and then clicking it one time to set it to two ticks just like this we’re also going to place a block here with redstone dust on top of it

And we’re going to use some temporary blocks to place a sticky piston facing in this direction like so and it should look like that for this next portion we’re gonna place blocks going along at the bottom like this so three right there coming up right right here

Uh we’re gonna jump up by two blocks right here and go out by three i’m gonna go over by two blocks right here a block here and now we’re gonna make a little glass uh zigzag so starting at this block right above the piston here i’m gonna go

Up by one here up by two there up by two there and then up by two there so it should look like this now we’re going to place blocks right here going up by one here block here and then we’re going to connect this up with a repeater right here set to one

Tick redstone along these bottom blocks redstone here and here and a one tick repeater right here then redstone dust running all along here these three blocks as well and then zigzagging down just like that we’re also going to come down here go down by a block and place a redstone torch right there

Which should power all of these blocks and also extend the piston and finally we’re going to put a target block right on top of the piston like so you are also going to want to come down here right behind the piston and place a glass block with a piece of redstone on top

Now we’re just gonna come down here and we’re gonna place a block right here with a redstone torch on it that should power that redstone dust from earlier we’re gonna place a block here and go up by one with redstone on both of those glowing into the repeater

And then finally we’re going to come back up to this part put a block here and here a daylight sensor here although this might change but i’ll explain that later get rid of that block and then redstone dust right here and that should be good

This next step is a little bit longer so i’ll do my best to go slow so to get started we’re going to go down here and place a block right here with a redstone repeater set to four ticks facing into that block we’re then going to place a block here

With redstone dust on top of it come down by one block like that and place a redstone repeater with two ticks on it facing into the block with that torch from before we’re then going to go back down here and build across like this uh place a redstone dust on this block

Go down by one like so with a redstone comparator facing into it then gonna put a temporary block right here with a hopper facing into it then i’m going to hold shift and place another hopper facing into that hopper so they should look like this they’re pointing into each other

Then a temporary block here with two blocks right here can remove that one redstone comparator with redstone dust right here sticky piston here facing like that another one right here and then a block of redstone right there also going to put a block of redstone right here

Add a temporary block here with a sticky piston facing across with a block on top of it uh we’re then going to come up here get rid of these blocks and face put another sticky piston facing downward get rid of that block we’re then going to put an observer

Facing downward into that redstone block from before and then finally we’re going to come up here place a glass block a solid block and then redstone dust on top of both of those then going to come up by two uh one block right here and go across by three

So it should look like that with redstone dust here and here and a comparator facing in that direction and when you’re all done it should look like this so far we’re then going to add in two stacks and 60 of any stackable item i’m using redstone dust here but again

It could be dirt or cobblestone or whatever just needs to be two stacks plus 60. Now we’re gonna head down here and place two blocks like so with redstone dust on top of the first one and a repeater with one tick of delay facing in that direction then gonna face a redstone observer facing into that block remove that block place a block here and then two more

Right here with dust on top of both of those and a redstone repeater set to one tick of delay right here two more blocks right here and a target block right there a redstone comparator facing this direction with redstone dust here and then we’re gonna add two more blocks

Right here both with redstone dust on top a note block right below here with a sticky piston facing in this direction we’re also going to come up here and add two more blocks with redstone dust on top of this one and a redstone repeater set to two ticks of delay just like that

For this final section we’re gonna come over here and place two blocks going upwards like this with a third block on top right there redstone dust here and here we’re gonna come down here and we’re going to copy this entire hopper clock over by two blocks

So box here and blocks here with a comparator here and here and redstone dust here and here we’re then going to place a temporary block right there with a hopper facing into it then holding shift place another hopper into that other hopper a sticky piston here and here with a

Redstone block right there then gonna add in two stacks and 60 of any stackable item i’m using redstone dust yet again and it should look like this then we’re going to place an observer facing downward right there we’re going to come up place a temporary block right there and a sticky piston

Right there with a block on its face we’re gonna come over here and we’re gonna place a redstone block on the back of that sticky piston with another sticky piston facing downward right here then gonna come over here and place two blocks right there and a third one here with a

Redstone repeater set to two ticks right there with a piece of redstone dust right here um block of glass with an observer facing upward with redstone here and a redstone comparator on top of the observer and then i’m going to place a solid block underneath the observer and that basically completes the back

Section we’re now going to come around to the front and we’re going to fill in all of these spaces from before with smooth quartz so that the whole clock face is flush and that completes the redstone to test that the clock is working properly simply wait until it’s

Nighttime and sleep in a bed and if you’ve done everything correctly the clock should reset itself to 6am and just like that you’re all set one part of the design that’s a little bit flexible is the placement of the daylight sensor so depending on the structure that you build this clock

Within there might only be certain spots where you could actually fit the daylight sensor the important part is the number of redstone dust between the daylight sensor and this one right here so specifically a length of four so one two three four so for example if this glass purple

Block was the only valid position for your daylight sensor you could do something like this and have the daylight sensor be right there and that would still work you could also have it go like this for example that would also still work it’s really just that length of four that you need so

Anything like that and it will work just fine there might be situations in which getting the daylight sensor within four blocks of this redstone dust here just isn’t possible and in those cases you can use a redstone comparator to extend the signal a little bit so for example

In this case the signal strength going out of the daylight sensor goes through the comparator and it’s the same right here so now we’re effectively counting from right here and you still have the one two three four blocks so that would also work just fine this probably goes

Without saying but you can’t have any solid blocks above the daylight sensor so be sure to only use things like glass or just not have anything above it at all if you’d like to check it out i will include a world download in the description and sadly i do not expect

This contraption to work on bedrock edition only java with that being said i hope you enjoyed the video and if you did then please consider leaving a like or subscribing and be sure to leave a comment if you have any questions or concerns i’ll see you guys later
