This video is about unconventional redstone.
I was supposed to cover daylight sensor blocking as a thing but it never made it in.
music: Dreiton, by c418
got into a debate with some redstone friends once on what is considered a redstone component. it's kinda crazy that observers opened up so much, literally turning almost ANYTHING into a redstone component if used right
You can literally use ANYTHING. one of my mob farms sent a signal to the bottom of the system by briefly opening a waterlogged trapdoor, to drop water on an observer lol
@@squibble111 meanwhile me sending signal with ghast fireballs triggering string
BUD switches - the original observer - used to have the same purpose. Minecraft actually removed a lot of that functionality, then partially added it back to observers. There have then been new blocks added since that enable some additional functionality. We used to be able to detect use of beds, redstone lamp updates (remember when you could chain those?), doors, sheep eating grass, and a lot more I can't recall offhand. Observers now work again for most of those, but it's not necessarily been an improvement.
I miss stationary water...
@@dragonridertechnologiesbut with the addition of skulk sensors it's better now
If it can be used in redstone, it is redstone.
That's how I think of it.
Keep up the good work, been liking the videos a lot
Hi fundy!
Glad you enjoy my videos! It means a lot coming from someone like you.

Noice Fundy!
Furry!
Great video !
One thing to notice about bubble colum signal transmission : it's actually instant in both activation and de-activation if you use a dispenser with a water bucket facing the second water block above the soulsand (or higher). Minus the 4gt activation time of the dispenser ofc.
I was wondering if that'd be faster, thanks.
I totally didnt know this. That's game changing. Thank you.
@@squibble111 You're welcome !
That's really awesome. Thanks for sharing that information!
very underrated channel, i've yet to find someone who explains unconventional redstone this well.
Actually you have, it's this channel
Yes I agree, keep up the good work!
That's because the older generation of players who normally do these videos are trying to adhere to conventional wisdom by not spreading these building techniques since they know they will probably be changed later on as Mojang continues make changes and updates to the game.
Agreed
I used leafstone once as a way to activate a piston door in a tree themed base! It's really useful for secret doors or redstone that needs to blend into nature.
That's genius
I am... very, very picky when it comes to content these days. My subscription list is a group that I've trimmed down mercilessly over the years, and I just can't stand watching content that feels cheap, done solely for views, or made by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. It's very rare I find a channel I feel comfortable adding to that list, but after three videos of yours, I'm happy to say this is one of them!
You speak plainly, explain your topic without needless fanfare, clearly know what you're talking about, and your character control makes for a viewing experience that most top youtubers can't seem to figure out. Your builds are impressive, you don't treat them like they're god's gift to the platform, but your analytics are well thought out and easy to follow, even when covering topics that a beginner would struggle to understand. So, so glad that I found this channel. From a viewer that's watched way too much on this site to not know good content when he sees it - keep up the fantastic work!
This is an incredible compliment, and I'm glad you think I explain everything well. The #1 thing I try to do best is to cover technical topics while not losing my general audience in the pointless details, and I'm very grateful that you think thats something I do well on this channel. Thanks.
same, except I'm kinda the other way around. I've become less picky on what I subscribe to, but I still don't subscribe unless I really enjoy the content.
The leafstone artifacts occur because the "distance" property makes a few stops along the way from 0 (next to a log) to 6 (completely unsupported). If you move the log block along the side of the leaves without leaving an air gap, it behaves like you'd expect.
Scaffolding is indeed op
Indeed
Yes, quite.
I love unconventional redstone. Especially since I'm playing on a survival superflat with very little redstone (or stone for that matter, which is kinda needed for most redstone recipes). It kinda lets you resort to the old mcpe redstone due to the lack of resources. Though I am fiddling around with "redstone" which uses water streams and items (Inspired by jazziiRed's video about making logic gates with actual fence gates, I've only made an XOR gate so far)
I hope more people discover more ways to do unconventional redstone :0
the last two you mentioned deserve way more praise in my opinion.
The instrument detection can be used to separate some mixed block streams (i forgot which one, but ilmango actually used this in a farm)
The wall can also detect blocks moving next to it, making an incredibly simple option for block streams i use all the time.
I think it was his sculk xp farm that used the instrument detection
Yeah, I suppose youre right. Instrument detection is also used in Cubicmetre's copper farm (the first one) to seperate copper out from powder snow, which is pretty cool
For anyone confused by the 1.5 ticks 4:00, one redstone tick is equal to two game ticks. Scaffolding is one game tick, while repeaters are one redstone tick.
thank you!
I once used leafstone for very compact RAM. It was the only way to send a signal that fit and wouldn't mess with other things (even rails wouldn't work, because there weren't full blocks under it)
Leafstone is my favorite one and I think you underrate it. It's a wire that is 1 block tall and doesn't interact with anything else, you can do all the weird shapes with it, it works well esthetically as exposed redstone, lots of things to love
The instrument switching detector is actually sometimes useful for splitting up blockstreams of different materials, provided of course that they correspond to different instruments.
I also used them for upward-facing 4-tick smart pistons that can extend blockstreams, but they're only useful for full, opaque blocks unfortunately. That gave me a headache when designing a block stream splitter, extender and merger, hoo boy.
Nice video. If you are planning a pt2, I have a few more ideas:
- waterlogging blocks can be detected by observers. with the new roots blocks this is even more usefull, because they are still redstone solid blocks (and house the water in one block without it flowing).
- pushing entities up to power pressure plates. placing an enderman in a minecart and pusing it up with a fence given a reach of 7 blocks vertically (if i counted right), without having any redstone blocks in between, alowing the pulse to go through other circuits.
- (sorta outdated) using entities in minecarts to detect blocks being pushed. if an entity is in a minecart, and gets pushed (but not the minecart), it actually moves for one tick allowing it to power a pressure plate (when lined up right). using different entities with different hitboxes (mainly zombie piglins for vertical and turtles for horizontal) gives some pretty niche block movement detection. This is kinda outdated now, with observers being able to do the exact same thing. but I suppose if you want to detect movement in only one direction it can be usefull. also, if you want to detect blocks moving that can change state this can help isolate if the blocks actually.
Have a great day
Thank you for the suggestions. Maybe Ill consider a part 2 given these new things
This is the kind of redstone video i need. An explanation of redstone blocks, how it works and how to use it. Please make a lesson series so we can learn how to better use redstone :)
The scaffolding one was so helpful! I learned logic gates recently to recreate a "1st and 2nd ending" for noteblocks, and now this scaffolding enables glissandos! Thanks for posting this
Wallstone is exactly the solution I've been looking for to finish a bit of a dream project. Thanks!
You can avoid that issue with leafstone if you have another log further away that you don't move.
oh i didn't realise that thank you
although you clearly have much more redstone knowledge than I do, based on this video and others, I feel like I should mention this: instead of using redstone ticks(0.1s) and "1.5 tick" delay using scaffolding, it might be benificial to use gameticks(0.05s). so the delay of a default repeater or an observer is 2 game ticks. the delay of the scaffolding is 1 gametick per block(if im understanding correctly). I find using gt(gameticks) more precise and less confusing.
hey bestie
@@squibble111 :glump:
Thank you for this video! Back when I first got my Minecraft copy for the Xbox 360 I told myself I would never be good enough to learn Redstone, and here I am now dumbfounded and awestruck at the fact that leaves know when logs are touching them. I love this feeling, it's great to feel that same curiosity I had before with reignited hope that I can still learn so much!
It seems like you're giving good info but that FOV though... I just can't...
With the bubble elevator, I think there is a faster method. If you use a dispenser to remove and replace a water source from the column (Not the one directly above the soul sand. 2nd one up works) then the bubble column can fully activate sooner because it is already active. By removing a water source you're just changing the height.
I love your content. I've always loved redstone, but it was always so intimmedating, these videos help a lot making everything more accessable and letting me construct my very own redstone designs instead of copying optimized ones
I've actually used a few fence gates in a redstone build before. Great video!
Observers really were such a game changer, they can turn almost anything into the most useful redstone component, and allow for so many things that just weren't feasible to use the old BUD switches for.
I knew everything shown in this video but it was still quite entertaining. Thanks!
Glad i could cater to both beginners and more intermediate redstoners
Super underrated, I really like how the videos get straight to the point without any over the top editing or long intros or anything. Definitely earned a subscriber!
Very clear explainations! As a veteran youtube-watcher, it is quality content you are producing right here.
I love how the best way to send redstone signals vertically is to just build a tall wall. No components, no additional materials needed, just plain stone.
It's so cool how so many blocks that aren't considered "redstone" can be used in redstone contraptions!
Thanks a lot for having made this video.
I needed to make a signal go down to multiple layers in the same tick.
I remember wallstone, but I couldn't make it work for multiple floors.
Your showcase saved me, so thanks again!
If you need any more comprehensive information on it, the video i uploaded most recently is actually entirely about wallstone!
Great explanation! Love the technical details like update order and the leaf artifacts that you added in there!
I haven't been up to date on Redstone since lecterns were added. Just getting back into minecraft, so this video helped a ton.
After watching this I made a very reliable vertical droppervator using scaffolding. Great video!
Wow, another amazing video. I knew all of these things, but like not well enough that I feel I could apply them well. you did a great job explaining how all of this works, not just that it does.
your videos are incredible :) your style of videos are so incredibly captivating, its very reminiscent of veritasium or minutephysics or any of those other sciency channels but for minecraft :) i haven't seen anybody do it like you do, keep up the amazing work !!
I haven't touched redstone or minecraft since 1.8 so thanks for the info!! Quirks always help making beautiful solutions to usually unnecessary problems!
Just wanted to say that your content is really good, I really like how you explain and showcase stuff. Also all the contraptions you made. Glad I found your Channel, you're amazing!
Being a cannoner for factions, all of these are super useful and I use them a ton
“Leafstone” is just like esoteric programming language
as a bedrock survival player/builder, this type of stuff makes me so confused but its soooo interesting
Well I never thought about unconditional red stone before.
It was a vary understandable redstone video which is a big compliment because when I used to watch mambo Jambo’s
Videos I didn’t really find a use for his builds, but some stuff can be very useful in actual Minecraft
That 1 tick top to bottom item transfer is pretty nice, ngl.
Amazing video for those trying to get into advanced redstone. Very well made and clear words. Hope more people get a chance to see this.
I am part of a small redstone community where we build tnt cannons to fight eachother. In these we use most of the things you showed in the video.
This is wild; Ive been using bubble streams for similar effects for a long time. I have never ever seen the wall trick before; and definitely have some really cool ideas to play with with the scaffolding. Observers are great lol
the instrument switching observer trigger is very useful when youre trying to test after your tnt duper blows up for the third time with dirt replacing the tnt because it makes you ask why the fuck the observer is triggering twice
10/10 redstone mechanic
Alternative title: "Observer blocks are OVERPOWERED"
Your game looks super nice! If you don't mind me asking, what mods / texture packs do you use in your videos? I like how you can manipulate your game like that, especially with Free Camera.
I also wanna say that you're a very underrated youtuber and your videos are really well made
Most important mods: Carpet, Tweakaroo, and visual stuff like Iris and Sodium.
Tweakaroo is what allows me to use freecam, while carpet is what I use for stopping and stepping time (though Im not sure if I use that in this video)
Shaders: Complimentary reimagined
Texture pack: I use a combination of some small stuff like diamond highlights in netherite, as well as vanilla tweaks, the ones youll see in this video are mainly more transparent scaffolding and 3d rails.
You forgot blocking the daylight sensor to send signals downwards, but great video.
Saved to watch later lmao. Learned more from this one video than from a ton of other redstone videos
This is incredibly useful knowledge and needs way more views.
my guy disecting his really cool and complex redstone mechanisms so its easier to under stand, an absolute chad
the timing aspect of scaffolding is verrry interesting. I didn't know that one
I'm oddly attached to leafstone work, but I LOVE your scafold lights.
Leafstone actually blew my mind
Awesome video, I really enjoyed the relaxing and authentic explanations. Have a fantastic day :D
Oh dude, the 5K subscriber are coming! I hope you're ready!
Great video by the way, I learned a few things. Well I'm more of a beginner/intermediary redstonner... I built a few complicated things but they took me more time than they should have...
Any chance you tell us in description (or you know, you can answer to my message...) what are the mods that you are using? I find the clouds beautiful, but the light and the blocs too...
The mods are largely stuff included in cubicmetre's mod list, but for the aesthetics, thats the mod "iris and sodium" with complimentary reimagined shaders
THANK YOU i had no clue about almost any of these and now have a LOT of ideas
dude i thought i was the only person who did bubble column thing where you put a piston on the soul sand, its pretty useful
idk how i only just found your chanel but damn your content is quality
All of this was mind blown for me.
wow this is all extremely usefull! I especially like the instant item transfer cause I like making auto sorting systems
you shuold really make a discord, your redstone ingenuity reminds me of the old days of sethbling
Maybe someday, when I know it will be worthwhile.
Those were some really cool mechanics and gimmicks. I'm kinda new to this channel but I'm really enjoying your content. Keep up the amazing work!
Yoooo this made me excited to experiment with redstone again
i've played mc and watched and read info abt mc for 10 years soon, and all this is completely new info for me.
I love the aesthetic of ur vids for some reason
I have no idea scaffolding can this precise control, very interesting.
Whoa! You just blew my mind! Great video!
that video is so creative and i love the music background
I'm building a multi-platform bonemeal farm where all the timing and controls are at the top (so I can expand downward relatively easily). I'm using walls to send the signals down from the top, then scaffolding to send the signals back up to the individual platforms (since an observer on the side of a wall ruins it for everything below). It'd be nice if there was something that sent a signal down that could be detected part way down via observers (yes, water could, but that's way too slow).
Its perfectly possible. I should do a wallstone video. if you draw observer output from the wall, just make sure you have another contact point on the opposing side of the wall and it wil still work.
@@squibble111 No way! I just confirmed it. Observer with piston on one side, and a smooth stone block on the other. Tower it up and place an extra middle wall, and the observer observes! Thank you!!!
(of course now I have to redesign the farm....)
I used leafstone in a to transfer a signal to open a door to a hidden room in a cramped space using a decretive ceiling high shrub.
Otherwise I think it’s pretty useless for non speed related things.
Amazing video. Only thing I think you could have added was daylight sensor wireless redstone
“Leafstone”
Back in my day... That was Greenstone.
one that I used in a pinch for Redstone is string (so two tripwires and lots of string), as in chaining tripwires together, you could have them tillable and crossable without interference, so like #
I remember WAY back whem observers were just added I had a feeling like it's trivializing a circuit (BUD) with a variety of designs to just one block. Modern redstone just shows that it's never that simple. None of these mechanics would be practical if observers didn't exist.
good video like always!
That was such a cool video! Love it
congrats on 5k subs! you really deserve the quick growth, your channel is great
Never knew about the wall detector for solid to transparent blocks and now it feels like it should have been obvious lol
technically not solid/transparent, more "full face"/"not full face"
Nice video, as usual!
i am doing a game of life in minecraft, but with 3x3 cells, with so little space to work with leaves wire are really useful to transmit signal from the top of the cell to the bottom of the cell
never knew any of this was possible and some of them already give me ideas, great video
These explanations are cool. I’m bad at redstone and this made me understand a bit more
Did a good job on the video, it did teach me some things. Also first lol
dude how did you comment before the vid was uploaded, says 14 mins for me and 35 for u lol
how tf did you comment 22 minutes before the vid came out
man is a time bender.
Lmao, to all the people here this person is a friend of mine and got the video like 20 minutes early unlisted.
Leafstone can be waterlogged, making it blast-resistant
While it seems to have dropped off in use outside of dustless doors, leafstone was huge in the piston door world.
YES! this is what i needed! thanks!
I use a stair block on droppers to have them fall in a 1x1. I'll try the powdered snow though. :)
First time here; instant like n sub 🏆
Great explanation and til poweder snow negates that random horizontal velocity
Thank you thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
your videos always slay!
Man I never knew any of these weird redstone builds!
You can also use bells to detect blocks
instrument change detection can be more useful than you might think, especially since it can distinguish between certain blocks. ilmango has a moss farm that uses it to sort out stone that doesn't get converted
That is actually genius
I use it for very simple smart pistons (that only work for blocks that change the instrument). If you use an observer to directly detect the block, it gets stuck in a loop because it detects the piston arm pushing the block away. Using a note block detecting that block, the piston arm doesn't set it off because it's the same instrument as air.
Observers do be op asf
Can you make a video about this elevator youve mentioned?
Seems interesting :)
i wish they would just add some basic logic blocks, would save a lot of space
oo i didnt know the scaffolding one. that's neat :D
