- Minecraft's Redstone system is a very powerful tool that mimics the function of real electronic components. This makes it possible to create actual computers in Minecraft using only Redstone. In this video, I briefly explain the electrical engineering and computer science principles behind such inventions.

As someone watching this on 1700's parchment paper I can agree. We need him to explain this on a computer 👌
@@persnicketyVCwhat are your parchment paper specs?
@@Crazys12-jsI personally use a blend of Arabian papyrus and Chinese hemp. I find its best for gaming

‘Very simple’ builds a whole calculator
Ok, i hate people who edit messages but, for everyone going ‘its simple to make a calculator’ ik, i create this stuff, it was a funny joke so i said it.
Abstraction is everything!
Calculators are simple tho...
tbh its actually really simple u just have to jave more than 1 brain cell
@@Iamanugget111 Hey no reason being mean
Having 1 braincell wouldn't even let you comprehend this
This honestly is a good intro to A level computer science
THIS IS WHAT YOU DID IN A LEVEL CS??? lmfao I did scottish advanced higher (supposedly equivalent) CS and it had nothing like this
@@OnyxtheFolfno he didn’t do this he’s saying it could be
U mean electrical engineering right? CS deals with programs and software, electrical/computer engineering deals with hardware
@@_chaozgt_ Yeah but in Cds if you dont have this kinda basic knowledge, you wont be able to code hardware
@@OnyxtheFolfA portion of the OCR A level Computer Science course goes over computer architecture in a way very similar to this video, but in more detail. This would be a very good and fun introduction to that section of the course.

so real
So so real 😂
it's 2 am and I'm in the bed whatching this video
I'm a programmer who has an alright understanding of computer architecture, but I've never been able to understand redstone. So this video might actually help me in the opposite way.
Indeed, I knew about the computer part of what he was saying but I actually got redstone knowledge from this video lmao
Minecraft has 2 essential logical components - NOT and a diode. If you deliver a signal to the block the redstone torch is attached to, the torch turns off and stops generating signal creating a NOT. Repeaters only let the signal one way but they also work as amplifiers because the signal gets weaker with every block travelled.
@@berni2905repeaters are a real world component. They're used for long distance transmissions like radio to amplify a signal and reduce distortion
The weird thing with redstone is that a huge fraction of the digital circuitry you can implement with them is contained with in bugs or off target effects of the implantation if the in game components (quasi connectivity being the weird bug that’s most often referenced, it’s a result of the redstone portion of the piston code being copied from doors and the 2x1 size of the door being part of the 1x1 piston which enables signals to propagate weirdly).
Essentially as a programmer you should be able to understand all of the redstone stuff easily… you would just need to crack open the jar file and look at the implementation of each block to see the way redstone interacts with it and then treat them as sort of like an HDL language.
@@tainicon4639 how do you access the .jar file?
Finally a place where my computer architecture course stuffs come to fruition
I'm still searching a Place where my chemistry degree come to fruition
@@obihz2415 we can both combine our powers, with my business degree and your chemistry degree, we'll be unstoppable *wink* *wink*
@@obihz2415Mr. White?
usually that is researched before selecting the degree. or it should
I appreciate the credit. Mattbatwings is amazing.
I totally agree!

I am a electrical engineer who completed the first year, and this is a very helpful explanation to me.
yep, I am in the same situation:))
You have made computers so easy, even a 12 year old can understand it

Bro explained a whole semester of my computer engineering class in one 7 minutes minecraft video😭😭
Incredible this channel has less than 2K subscribers. Don't forget us when you reach some millions!
Thanks a lot! I won't forget the OG fans 🐐

@@Codeolencesam i og too?
For a second i thought you said "assembly code is easy for humans to understand", but when i re-watched it, I heard what you actually said, which was "assembly code is EASIER for humans to understand" which is true, but it's still confusing as hell lol
i didnt notice lol
It is pretty easy to read. I guess it depends on how the instruction set is laid out, but for the most part the only issue is it's damn hard to code with

"it's really quite simple" - mumbo
😅
Entire year in highschool in 6 minutes. Amazing video!
Thanks!
They ain’t thought me none close to this in high school lol
Where/what is this highschool?
We introduce you. Redstone! You can just walk in then the door will automaticly open, Get your minecraft now!
10 years later:
NGL but red stone are fun
“With this, you can automatically collect your crops using water!”
"and with _this,_ you can automatically send a nuclear airstrike wherever you want!"
We got Minecraft in Minecraft before gta 6 release 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
This guy is truly amazing as he taught us the concept of semiconductors in minecraft🤯
Genuinely an amazing breakdown on how computers work through redstone. This is such an underrated channel :)
Please make more videos like this.
Arguably the best video to introduce someone to computer architecture. Awesome visuals (especially 3:00), clear explanations, tons of effort, and in such a short time period! Always what wanted I to make but couldn't get right, bravo!
Insanely well made and edited, great work! This would have been so useful a few years back when I was learning this lol
bro this channel is cooking
This is one of the best videos on computer science + red stone on CZcams.
I’m a computer engineer who’s going into my sophmore year, this is super cool! I’ve always understood that you can use redstone to simulate the components we learn about in class, such as gates, designing an ALU, creating a full adder, and much more, but I never really knew how to actually do it in Minecraft. This is an awesome explanation!
Having the stuff you learned getting re-explained in Minecraft is a luxury we do not get to see every day
As a computer engineer student, this is a good minecraft redstone tutorial lol
Didn't thought you could make literal logic circuit in the game!
This video is so good!
I've been on the redstone community since 2020, and I can say you did a very good job!
Pro perfectly and fast explained what i have learned in school for half a year.
This is honestly incredible. Never stop making such vids man
Thanks!
This is actually awesome and explains everything so nicely. You are way underrated and deserve many more subscribers.
Loved it. Really thought that you would have more subscribers since the video was so well done. Keep up the good work!
My mans just explained the journey of computer engineering course in 7 mins
This video is so underrated. I learnt more from this video than any of my research on computers. I usually dont subscribe to someone just because of one video but you deserve it
Thank you so much!
This is literally my whole computer achitecture course summed up!
Hey man, since you're reading every single comment, I just wanna give you one advice-
Never stop! You have huge potential, and in no time will you reach the heights of someone big-
Another thing, I also like the fact that you're highly unique. Keep researching and showing it off in such a grand way man! Godspeed!
Thank you so much for your comment, this means a lot!
Bro just tought the major concepts of my computer engineering degree in a single video with Minecraft
I knew all of this but never knew how to apply it to minecraft. Nice one bro. That video is actually nuts
Came in for knowledge, left with goosebumps. Thanks!
Kinda insane how this explained computers to me easier than anything else.
I want to pursue computer science some day, so I heavily appreciate this.
Redstone was my instruction to digital circuits. I built a simple 4 bit adder and a memory bank back in high school (beta 1.7 haha).
This defiantly contributed to sending me on the path towards my current work as an engineer and a neuroscientist. Minecraft is quite a wonderful game!
Nice, learnt a thing or two about redstone watching this
Nice video man, i just came from my computer architecture exam and it was so nice to see everything i studied being brought to minecraft, i just wanna say it could be really nice to see pipelining applied to a minecraft cpu
It's actually pretty common to have pipelined Minecraft CPUs with forwarding, branch prediction, function calls, and cache
WHERE WERE YOU 2 SEMESTERS AGO? I NEEDED THIS SO BAD
After my first-year as a Computer Engineering major student, I actually understood the things in video.
such a short video that made everything clear and i'm very amazed by this. keep it up i really like these kind of channels!
Thank you!
@@Codeolences my pleasure
I’m a comp sci graduate and I learned very little about this stuff while in school. However, the fundamentals of computer architecture does fascinate me, and your video was concise and easy for me to understand. So thank you.
I learned about these gates already, but no one gave such good explanation
Software engineering at its finest
Its crazy how went from the invention of transistor to I9 14900K and 2TB memory card in just 80 years
You actually explained electric circuits better in 5 mins than my teacher in 1 year
I’m a programmer kid, and a gamer kid, now I can know how to build a computer with both
I’m taking Computer Arch and Assembly right now. this video came out at the perfect time
You just explained my computer science whole year subject in 7 minutes, that's crazy bro
Being this underrated should be illegal. Love your explanation i finally understood what my teacher was trying to teach 5 years ago from you lol good luck. Hopefully you make it big nah you will definitely make it big
Thanks for this, i ended up making a simple circuit board, something id probaly never do in minecraft
I love this explanation! It's so digestable and informative. (Also, love the channel name btw)
Thank you!
Keep making educational videos like this bro, I'm sure it will be a boost for your CZcams account to become more famous 😉👍
This video just taught me half a semester worth of computer architecture 101
Great explanation, digital electronics, driver, architecture.
someone give this man an award for explaining something more complex in just mere minutes. ur underrated man. you deserve a subscribe! :3
Thank you!
Im studying engineering and now everything makes sense! This is what I've been learning since January and I never thought truth tables were related to redstone, now I wanna build a ton of redstone farms
HOW ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED??? If you keep up the quality of these videos then I am confident you will succeed 👍
Thank you!!
I love how you explained something so complex with such a simple game (I love Minecraft)
under rated channel, bro you gonna be famous one day
The video is very nicely put together! Minecraft is a computer engineer's favorite playground hehe, Great job!
T
hanks!
Why this video has only 2300 views?! This is a masterpiece!!
This sounds cool, now I want to build one.
This video basically sums up one of my CS classes back from college.
Great video! Fantastic editing! Excellent animations! Love how you explained it all in minecraft!!!
but i still remember when you put my minecraft castle on fire…
thank you so much this literally explain how computer works for me(not ironic)
but it must be crazy what the cpu calculating and how much ram store binary codes
This is some basic electronics class for beginners cool
Loved It, thank you for simplify that
This is a really interesting video. I'd honestly love to see you delve deeper into the topic of comparing minecraft redstone to computer architecture in more videos. Notably, I wonder if you could recreate a noteworthy real-life computer using redstone in minecraft; something like a computer from the 60's or 70's.
I’ll be taking college level systems and architecture next semester and honestly, this video makes me feel a little more prepared
This is almost the end of my second year of CS. I just learned how half adders, full adders, latches, and an ALU work in this video.
Wow that's a review on my digital system course for a whole semester
the editing is good!
when you had added the 5 and 4 bit and had the numbers tracking on the blocks, damn nice
And everything else too!
Thanks!
Very soothing explanation, very easy to understand.
The design is very human
your creativity never ceases to amaze, what a great watch!
Thanks!
Love this video, but still got confused, regardless, it's well made, keep it up!
Stuff like this really makes you wonder how crazy some people are when they're designed modern day CPU's that are supposed to surpass the previous iterations and how much planning and trouble that goes into creating them.
This guy just explained my 1 semester worth of computer architecture course in Minecraft 😮❤
Edit: i also have exam of computer architecture like in 2 days
Man this is amazing
Wow, this video is very helpful and for me inspirng, im liking, good luck in yt man. :)
Thanks!
"How'd you learn computer engineering?"
Me:
This is great, how have you been able to publish a video with this much of great quality and just have 3 comments?
Well, my channel is still relatively small, but hopefully this will change in the future :D thanks for the comment!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video; I learned a great deal from it.
This is a great summary of my 1st year CS computer organisation course haha
underrated chanel for real
Thanks!
This is pure gold!
Subscribed.
Despite the builds being borrowed, your explanations were concise and quite interesting... also, it's nice for the viewer who gets an illusion of "feeling productive 🧠" after watching a video on redstone and computer logic 🤷♂️🖥
Thanks for the comment!
I wasn't aware of using repeaters as registers, good to know!
Man, when dad taught me this as a kid I basically thought this was magic bs, I'm glad that I learnt this
appreciate it. Im going to major in electrical engineering and imma watch more of your vids
Finally something I can understand
Me gusta que CZcams me recomiende este tipo de videos. Saludos
How hardware engineering majors relax when they don't need to learn:
this is a masterpiece
Ok the end of this video is what really did it for me lol. imo It's easy to "explain" Computer Architecture whether it's explained in redstone or not, what really bugged me about these 5min videos is that they hide away all the other complicated stuff, pipelining...multi cores....parallel processing etc... the more I study computer engineering the more I think computers are magic lol. like I wouldn't say it's hard but it's more complicated than people make it sound.
I personally think the best way to understand Computer architecture without studying it (if anyone wants to do it for fun) is by watching ben eater series on building a cpu.
Good video!
I second you here
If quote "That escalated pretty quickly" was a video
