In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video, I'm trying to understand minecraft redstone that I don't understand. I'm learning Minecraft redstone, and taking you through how redstone works step by step. This machine relies on redstone logic, Minecraft programming and some very basic Minecraft computing to work. This a redstone thing that only old school Minecrafters will remember, as back in Minecraft Beta these were incredibly popular Minecraft security devices!

Feels Good To Be The First!
2nd lol
I have a good question
What'll happen if the code is something like 3213 ?
Like, can you make the same number in the code without ruining the circut
tad late innit
If endermen could do redstone
If Mumbo doesn't understand this redstone, then we, mere mortals, are doomed.
@Soul 🅥 great
@@cactus7802 It's a bot g
@dispiritedsoul2 then show me how to make a functioning time machine in minecraft
I agree
Us are doomed, eh?
I like to see mumbo focusing on what he finds interesting instead of what people expect of him.
Npc comment
so true
@Dispirited Soul 😈 bruh
@Dispirited Soul 😈 mean!
That's a true creator right there :)
*He's still a spoon tho.*
i love how even in a game where you can break 99% of blocks, redstone safes and security systems still exist. its like how irl you could cut through a wall alot easier than you could decipher a code, but doors are still the most enforced thing
Ekhm, two words: kingdom servers
I would love to see a continuation of this. Now that you have designed a working one yourself, take one of the ones you've built before but not understood and figure out how that one works.
And yes, this definitely needs to be a series. More of these, please!
there might not be enough redstone that he doesn't understand though.
@@aimfulRenegade There’s always something, and also if he truly starts hitting the skill ceiling then he can start theorising to expand his Redstone skill set. However, that will probably never happen as there is A-LOT of red stone he most likely does not understand as Redstone is a pretty big subject.
computational redstone
Love to see Mumbo actually breaking down the redstone so not only he understands, but that we can understand as well. The man's an absolute CZcams. I've really missed these redstone centered video's.
“The man’s an absolute youtube.”
A true CZcams indeed!
The man's really is an absolute CZcams
Definitely one of the CZcamss of all time
I love how “an absolute CZcams” is a reference to something that wasn’t even related to the video......
but at least 3 people still completely understood it somehow. Incredible
Now Mumbo can be confused when people say it’s really quite simple 😂
@Soul 🅥 X Doubt
ROFL! I am so tempted to post a comment saying “It is really quite simple Mumbo.”
@@davidroddini1512 do it.
Ngl it's really simple.But I can't explain that in certain way.
It quite simple but I shan't have the mental capabilities of exploration
Seeing Mumbo being proud of his own creation even with it being so large just because he was able to figure it out himself reminds me of when I built my own extending and retracting bridge. The redstone was an enormous, tangled, hideous mess, but I figured it out all on my own and was super happy about it. It's always super exciting to be able to just figure things out yourself, and it's nice to see Mumbo enjoying himself
Same as when I designed my first triple piston extender.
5:22 if you make a redstone line underneath the blue wool, all repeaters will activate it
if you lower the "3" by 1 block, the 3 in line 1 does NOT trigger that bottom line
repeat for all lines and wire up to the reset line
i have made several combination lock puzzles for minecraft maps, so its relatively simple for me :)
edit: upon further watching, that is actually what you ended up doing, nice job mumbo
Man got it faster then mumbo
@@Head-Comrade i simply have experience with combination locks :)
How long did it take you to learn Redstone? I'm a programmer and I never bothered to give it a shot, would any of the skills be transferrable?
@@azuredominus5739 depends, for stuff like and/or/not gates it is transferrable, for other stuff you need to mess around with it
i myself messed with redstone for 2-3 months while watching mumbo jumbo (which was several years ago) and through just messing around i learned myself how to do redstone
Mumbo posted a video about every redstone contraption he didn’t understand and it lasted 10 minutes.. truly a genius
The magic of editing! There's no way to know how much time passed in the middle of the video he could've spent hours doing nothing boringly which then got cut
@@lvl99dh I think you missed the important part, there. OP said "every" redstone contraption. Obviously this one thing is not *every* contraption Mumbo doesn't understand.
Or maybe it is, and Ollie's just a super-genius. :P
@@NarturArkano so it was kinda a exaggeration but it was pretty much saying “Mumbo made a video on something he didn’t understand and was doing from scratch that only lasted 10 minutes.” Mumbo showed us what his thoughts and ideas on how to make this and then made it in 10 minutes
@@INeedCofee My point was more that some things just need a laugh instead of an explanation. :)
Docm77 has entered the chat...
mumbo shows us that, no matter how smart or skilled you are, there are still things that you can learn and improve on, and its okay to push yourself to learn it even if it's basic. there's no shame in improvement
Haha, no.
Mumbo teaches us that there is no knowledge. What a magnificent CZcams!
@@wormwoodbecomedelphinus4131 very CZcams
For the longest time I could not figure out how the wheels of a car were connected to the suspension. I finally figured it out one day and it is a surprisingly simple system (to me anyways?
The wise man knows, that he knows, nothing. -Some philosopher, probably.
True CZcams moment
I feel like I walked into the wrong classroom thinking I was in Geography 101, but ended up in Minecraft Redstone 510
This is actually a very impressive showcase of your mindset and determination. Having the ability to dig into something and learn basically from the ground until you fully understand is no easy task. Many people ask themself what seperates them from the great ones. Sure, talent and luck will help you reach the very top, but it's determination that truly brings you that far. Even if you are not talented at something you get reach a very high level if you put in enough time and work.
This should absolutely be a series. Hearing someone who is knowledgeable about the subject, voicing their thoughts as they reverse engineer and reinvent the figurative wheel is exactly what I want to see.
As someone who is trying to understand Redstone inside out in preparation for a massive fever dream of a build that is going to need a lot of original Redstone builds and troubleshooting to make it a reality. I desperately crave this type of hands on demonstration. Like I saw in someone else's comment as well. It would be amazing if you made all these, and some description of how they work in a world able to be downloaded for anyone to play around in. You could literally just do the series in the world, and just update the download with each new vid. Plus a sign at each build linking to the corresponding video.
I agree, reverse engineering Redstone sounds really fun
Didn't mumbo make a video where he explained all the basic Redstone circuits and made a world download available some years ago?
He will learn what we feel when he says it’s actually quite simple
Yeah exactly this. It seems like there’s a lot of videos that explain “basics” very well for redstone, and then obviously a ton of redstone build videos. But a series that kinda breaks down how those basics can be put together to create a contraption (or broken apart from an already existing contraption) could be really educational.
Mumbo challenging himself intellectually to do restone instead of just doing everything on a progressively larger scale is what made his restone videos so brilliant.
I think it would be interesting to see the differences between your initial working design and the 'optimal' design that has been refined over 10 years!
The Code-Redstone contraption has been one of my favorites for yeeaars. It was amusing to see you tackle it, especially considering that I learned a lot about redstone thanks to your videos. This contraption is also the reason, why I'm so excited for the new bookshelves! No multiple buttons or pressure plates anymore, just one simple block.
I would've loved to have a bit at the end where Mumbo goes back to the build from the tutorial to see if he understands it now
Nine minutes in and he has over 2k likes. This man is a legend. We missed you so much Mumbo. It's great to have you back and do my small part to support your work.
dude hes such a youtube
@@hadrian922 Exactly, genuinely smart and entertaining

Mumbo is trying to make us feel better by pretending he doesn’t understand red stone.
Just an explanation as to how the more popular design works to those that don't know
It takes a different powered redstone signal from each button (least from 1 and most from 9) then compares it to the strength a comparator gets from a chest/barrel filled with items
If the signal strength is the same then it considers it a step towards the correct combination, if not it resets the whole thing
@Crimso__nn I like the way you explained the combined signals in the classic design ! It's really just comparing an addition of all the buttons's values together, with prerecorded values
my combo lock? xd
Simple explanation, nice
@@CraftyMasterman Honestly I don't remember who the design belongs to, did yours use locked repeaters?
@@crimso_nn if you're talking about the one he used in hermitcraft, that's mine lol. Yes mine uses locking repeaters
It’s neat listening to your explain what’s going on in your head as you try to figure out the restone for this. One of my favourite things in your videos is watching you build circuits and figure them out.
I actually love this as a miniseries idea. (Re)Inventing different mechanisms/farms are fun brain teasers, I would imagine, and are cool for the redstone students to further their own understanding
I'd LOVE to see more of this as a series. It was fascinating as someone who knows maybe 2 more things about redstone than the average person (so basically nothing lmao)
My guy you’re already leagues above everyone if you can just do an item sorter lol
I’ve been tryna get that down for a month or so but I can’t make stuff unless I understand the components fully,, and I still can’t get it down so trust me,
Two things is better than you think
@@GoingSwimmingly That's called being bad at redstone
It makes me feel SOOOOO much less pathetic to find out that even the great Mumbo Jumbo occasionally seeks help from an online tutorial! Seriously, that just made my whole day! I think I'm going to go build something big, technical and overly complicated for absolutely no reason at all! Major
6:33 made me laugh more than it probably should have-
I would love to see more of this type of video, It shows that despite difficulty's certain things can be made simplier to understand it, Its inspirational and something amazing to see.
Grian breaking into Mumbo's vault in Season 6 is one of my favourite memories of hermitcraft. Grian was like "surely, its not like 1-2-3-4" and boom.. door opened. Mumbo Dragonbro was born.
Mumbo really jus made a video about how we feel watching his videos.
Ahaha! Man that is so true. I hope he sees this lol
True
💀
I really like this sort of videos where you show *the process of invention* itself. It helps a lot with understanding how redstone works and how to build something on your own instead of using step-by-step guides!
This is great. I think this is a really cool idea. I think we’d also like to see the compacting of this as well. That’s 2 series that I’d love to watch
Mumbo is just a CZcams guy. Just great. Very chobblesome, too.
Who's also capable of building bunkers and bases within each other
I love this new video format! It seems like a great way to get an in depth understanding of how different circuits work in tandem, especially with you walking through your own thoughts while trying to understand
Problem
I still don’t understand his thoughts
8:10 I remember when I was messing with a combo lock (used pistons instead of hoppers/droppers) my solution to that problem was to just put a ton of pointless decoy pistons on all the digits so there was a ton of pointless noise hiding when the correct pistons fired
My first time watching in a while. Geniune interest really has me captivated. Keep at whatever makes you go!
I remember seeing the rs-nor array combo lock about a DECADE ago on CNB minecraft’s channel, so seeing Mumbo try to understand the concepts here feel like a weird collab across time…
When I saw this I was like “Heck yeah! New Mumbo video!” But now my brain has literally melted
Kudos to you for kind of knowing what you’re talking about though

That's awesome. The things some people can do with redstone never ceases to amaze me. I remember being pretty proud of my redstone 2x2 doors that you could see through because sticky pistons weren't a thing yet (that I knew of, anyway). The "doors" were simply the bars of the extended pistons. Took me so long to figure out how to control all four with a single button. It looked hideous but I was proud of what I had figured out.
All these years later and I can now aesthetically change biomes based on a day-night cycle, alter or altogether replace mob spawns, etc with command blocks, and still have no idea how redstone works.
I love this on so many levels. Especially bc so much of redstone feels like tutorials these days but I love learning about the mechanics that make things work and different ways to problem solve and invent with redstone
great to see another Mumbo video, and it feels like he's really been enjoying himself in the ones he's done lately. I have no idea what an RS NOR latch is, but i cant imagine a time where i wouldnt enjoy watching a video of him talking about them
It’s a switch with two inputs. One input, if you put power into it, it turns on the switch. The other if you power it, it turns off the switch. It’s difficult to explain well here.
think of it as a memory latch, when it receives an input, it holds onto it until it receives a different input
I really like what you've done here. You broke down a complex machine into its simplest parts to see how it works.
I would love to see more of this serie, I was hooked us thru all the video
its amazing how a bunch of simple Redstone circuits can make a complex one
however much I want to see mumbo back on HC, it's great to see that he's back and having the time of his life
yaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss

Great idea for a series. Something to consider is showing a few different designs after your build. So you can see how others had done it before you figured it out. Then you could see how/if you did things differently than others.
Love this reinventing-redstones idea so much!!
I would LOVE to see more of these types of videos
This is great! I do wish more time was spent explaining how you solved each of the problems. Not too much detail but more than “I solved it with that circuit over there”.
Love the concept of this being a series!
The one thing I wonder about is if you don't know or have forgotten the combination, you're likely to enter 4 digits. so if you get the second digit wrong, it resets the system, then the next two entered digits are (it seems like) treated like the first two digits of a new combination, so it's possible to be "offset" with one number entered unknowingly. The system wouldn't break but to the user it would appear broken.
Unless I am missing something in his design, I agree. I designed a similar lock as a science project in 7th grade using set-reset latched relays. My solution was to have a separate "open" button that you would press after entering your combination. If the combination was correct, it would open the door. If incorrect, it would reset the entire matrix. That way you always start with a clean slate. Although I didn't add it to my circuit, a natural next step would be to have a timer that resets the circuit 15 seconds after any button is pressed, in case you just walk away halfway through entering a combination.
@@HeadOnAStick You didn't miss anything in his design, and there usually is a "reset" input somewhere. Sometimes it takes the form of an extra button, other people prefer using some kind of key to reset.
Agreed, my instinct would be to have a counter so that the system only attempts to open every 4 digits
It's very funny seeing the Famous Redstone Tutorial Guy trying to figure out a contraption I used to make back when Minecraft first came out! There might even be some old-style two-torch repeaters in my earliest ones, and of course they used to take up a whole building with how big RS NOR latches and T flip flops used to be (before comparators/pistons/etc). Please make more of these reinventing videos!
ABR Minecraft made an impeccable silent and MORE COMPACT button combination lock back in 1.7, i still use his design to this day because its infinately expandable
This was actually fun to watch as a beginner redstoner, watching someone else learn was great! I would love to watch more of this
I still don’t understand any of this but I do know that extremely satisfying feeling of working something out for yourself from first principles to get a deeper understanding, even if it’s a long-solved problem
This was so fun to watch, love watching you invent things!! :)
👆Wow Congratulations🎊🎊,
You have been among my shortlisted winners INBOX ME
This was really cool! I liked watching you figure this out!
after hours of frustrating coding... it's kind of nice to see somebody else make a whole bunch of mistakes in something similar XD please do more of this! it's fun!
Yes! I would absolutely live to see you reinvent the Minecraft wheel. Any chance you’d do it on a live stream? I know it’s been a couple years but the debugging process is what i find most interesting
Honestly Mumbo, any time you're having a blast is a blast to watch. That said, I would love to watch you build a flying-machine assembler. (bonus points for a deconstructor at the other side. hell, this could feed the resources into an assembler on the other side, having two way traffic any time! I'm losing track here, do what makes you happy!)
Very big "reinventing the wheel" moment, but honestly, I love it
I love this sort of reverse-engineering the circuits! I don't know enough about popular redstone contraptions to know of any that I'd like to see, but seeing this one gave me a fundamental understanding of the 3x3 combo lock, and I'd love to see more like it!
Mumbo is the first youtuber I've seen that makes learning something (without help) into content
This is nice. I can follow the details of relatively simple redstone contraptions, at least well enough to troubleshoot things on the level of a block swapper or flying machine sweeper, but it takes a certain level of familiarity to troubleshoot complex circuits, so it's great to see someone with the know-how do just that.
Now make the perfect system that lets you choose a 4-digit passcode that allows for one digit to be used up to 4 times and not only once in the code. Also try to only reset the whole system once 4 digits have been given by the player, because otherwise you can figure out the code by trial and error, as well as eliminating the noise it makes when a right digit has been pressed.
I've always struggled with piston elevators with floor selection
By now water columns are a thing that simplified that quite a bit I guess but I would still be thrilled to see you build a 4-floor (possibly slimeblock based) piston elevator with floor selection just using your redstone knowledge.
realy loved this video. loved seeing a redstone breakdown with some muboism added to it
I would absolutely love a series on this kind of stuff!
Yes! With a varied understanding of redstone myself, videos breaking them down will very much help me understand it further.
Maybe include a world download with the original variant and your simplified version with some signs describing what's going on?
Such would help the communities understanding explode!
I’d love to see more of the series where Mumbo tries to figure out how to make Redstone work in Bedrock.
Except he plays on a mac :(
Yeah that would be super helpful, not to mention entertaining lol
I totally agree. I never got bedrock restone.
I made combo door lock using one of your videos about a year ago. Never understood it but it worked for the most part. Look forward to trying to recreate this in the near future.
👆Wow Congratulations🎊🎊,
You have been among my shortlisted winners INBOX ME
I enjoyed watching you learn how this contraption works. I would love to see more.
Computer aspects of redstone take time to get used to and require a background in logistics. I was taught binary on a server which had many people who made redstone like this and learned a lot from them.
Do you mean logic?
Dude you are an absolute youtube! This stuff just goes in one ear and out the other for me and its so impressive you can actually figure it out
I know right?
I honestly really like this kind of video style. It does a really good job breaking down each component and I like how this feels like it gives me insight into the Redstone development process
I absolutely love re-inventing things from scratch. Similar to another video I watched recently of a speedcuber finding their own new way to solve the Rubik's cube without using any "standard" algorithms they already knew, just figuring it out from the basics.
Might also be cool to see follow-ups on some of the things you re-invent, where you DO explore how to improve them (whether on your own still or by now having a better understanding of an existing tutorial). Also, I think maybe the bank video does already count for that lol (Going back in reverse order to watch some videos I missed)
I recommend the matbatwings series on redstone, if you want to learn computer-style redstoning.
I have seen it, its just amazing!
I agree, I have learned all of my computer style redstoning from MattBatWings
You should make some kind of educational redstone course, starting from basics and going all the way up to advanced ideas. You could post on a second channel or use some kind of third party educational platform and charge money for it, I would absolutely buy something like that.
mumbo taking the time to understand so that we can understand 🥹 ❤
LET CZcamsRS SWEAR THIS IS NOT CZcams KIDS
HELLO CZcams!
Bring back dislike button or ill demonitize you
This was great! A fun spin on redstone tutorials, in that Mumbo was learning with us, would love to see more !
I loved the unproffesional chuckle in your add, it provides character
Mumbo jumbo: I don’t understand this redstone
Literally Everyone: impossible
I love the concept here! I hope you do more of these where you're trying to understand complicated builds :)
As someone taking a course in computer science, Mumbo videos like this finally make perfect sense. Sort of. Maybe. Thank you, this helps so much with getting my mind in the right headspace!
Please make another episode of this. Was very entertaining 😂
I think another way of doing a 4-digit combination is to have the player enter in 4 digits which are then "saved" by the system and compared to a preset correct 4-digit combination. Not sure how that would work without binary counting though
I still prefer the old ”smithed” paper with the code as its name, as in 3219 for example, and putting that in… that really is harder to crack than this. 🤔
Wow, I was in the exact same situation a while ago. I've been doing redstone for many years and I never understood the 9 digit combination lock, and I decided to create my own version of it only knowing the fact that RS-NOR latches are used. My version is pretty complicated and bulky compared to yours
man i love your videos they are the best, you are my idol if thats the word im looking for but i actually have always wanted to come up with ways to do redstone the only thing i remember that i solved or improved is the video of you upgrading mineshafts and making the diamond block trap its pretty cool of a redstone machine
I’d say it was entertaining to see you work through the problems and solutions, would watch more videos like this
Me who always watched mumbo jumbo because he said cool words and built stuff:
I love that you're learning how things work!
i was too lazy to look it up online and learn how to make it but now that u made this vid i also undderstand it thx for this vid
Here’s some help for you at 1:44, Mumbo: just copy & paste the redstone line above the line of blue wool to the gap right BELOW the blue wool. That line will now always receive power if the wrong button is pressed, but not if the right one is pressed (due to the dip in the line where the correct button is). So basically, just make the circuitry on the top identical to the circuitry on the bottom, and boom, problem solved! Then just hook up all the bottom lines to another line which goes over the opposite side of all the latches and resets them if the wrong button is pressed. Add some lines of pistons connected to each latch to ensure the buttons are pressed in the right order, and an AND gate to detect when the combo is correct, and you’ve got yourself a fully-functional lock!
Edit after watching the rest: Dude, seriously. That’s ridiculously overcomplicated! What in the world were you thinking when you were building this thing!?
Well it’s really quite simple really

This is my first time watching a video of you building a contraption from scratch since learning how to code, i never realized how similar redstone is to coding, just instead of typing, your placing physical blocks.
This is the kinda stuff I like. You actually made something akin to a logical circuit. Like, if you got the parts, you could legit make this an electronic lock on a circuit board.
Could you do a video of how you would go about compacting redstone circuits like this? I think that would be very neat
Me, not a redstoner:
Mumbo: 1:17
Me: what in the world is an IRS Snorlax?!?
Way back in 1.7.2 when I was 18 years old, I made a super complex 9 button, 4 digit code door with no tutorial, but it worked! I used a bunch of repeaters that would act as “bits” by putting power into the sides of other repeaters so they’d hold their output when properly powered by a correct input. Pressing the wrong button would reset all the “bits.” I remember struggling to design a bit that would hold its output if powered properly by the correct button press, reset if the wrong button was pressed, and not get flipped on when the wrong button is pressed.
Took me a good couple of days trying to get a design to work properly, but I was super excited when I finally got it, because I recreated a bit in Minecraft. Was it small? Definitely not. It took up a space that was like 10x4x6 give or take a block or two in the X and Z axis. And since you needed to press four buttons in the correct order, that meant I had to build 4 of them! I think the total area it took up was like 40x8x20. I don’t doubt other people had made WAY smaller button combination doors back in that time, but making my own design without any knowledge of how it should work made me feel like a genius lol. My dad was flabbergasted and super proud of me because of how much critical thinking I had to do. Still my proudest build to this day.
👆Wow Congratulations🎊🎊,
You have been selected among my shortlisted winners INBOX ME💬
This actually makes sense. I don’t think I could have built this on my own. You really have to understand red stone on different levels. Component level (dust repeater comparator etc), small circuit (and gate, or gate, pulse extender, t flip flop etc), and then what each color coded section is doing. When you learn the basics and break it into parts it’s not as bad as it seems just looking at the blocks! Mumbo does a very good job of making this understandable for the viewer with minimal red stone experience
Does this design work if you have repeated numbers in your combinations? It seems like that might trigger the "this number used to be right but isn't anymore" circuit erroneously.
After 10 years mumbo understands how we feel
