Man I really wanted him to put "wolves" in the list of unusual redstone compnents, the wireless redstone using wolves video from ilmango is still my most memorable one, cause I just was blown away when i saw the title.

Alternative title: Why the Observer is so great

When you have been playing the game for so long you say "Some of the new 1.5 additions"

Everyone else: Using villagers to get enchanted books. Ilmango: Using villagers as daylight sensors.

Alternative title: Every block is a redstone component if you're brave enough

Americans: feet per second Ilmango: *scaffolding per tick*

Then Ancient Debris may just also be a component because it is blast resistant and moveable. More useful than a hay bale for redstone

15:30 omg the redstone dust staying on the shulker box even when its opened is SO CURSED

22:45 perfect timing of that coral fan dying :D

You know we're lacking new redstone additions when the 1.5 ones can still be called new. :D

You forget everybody's favorite component: wool.

The bell not getting detected by the observer if you punch it is actually logical: there is a nbt tag for 'powered', what the observer detects, but there is not a nbt tag like 'ringing' or something

Me: "how to send electricity?" Google: "Cables." Minecraft: " *L E A V E S* "

I'm so relieved that this video has the complete intro. The last one was missing half a second from the beginning and it drove me nuts.

He really didn’t talk about the most unusual red stone component *his brain*

The part i like about redstone, is each component is mostly useless on its own. But with more and more components added, the possibilities rise exponentially

I didnt see cakes anywhere on this list. They also give unique signal strength outputs from a comparator, depending on how many slices of cake are left

13:00 so you are literally sending smoke signals :P

"New 1.5 components" What year is this?

some components I like are - arrows: you can use them for gravity based timers by shooting an arrow on the edge of a piston head and pressure plate - cats: when they sit on chests they get locked and have strange properties when interacting with comparators and such - pufferfish: can be used for player detection, although it broke and got reworked multiple times. not sure if they still work nowadays - item frames: comparators can detect item rotation. how did you forget that? - normal rails: changing orientation can be detected and it also lets you redirect minecarts in stuff like furnace arrays and storage systems

Fun Fact: In Legacy Console Editions, Stairs Are Actually In The Redstone Tab.

Some things missed: ice, ancient debris, armour stand with frost walker boots, wolves, mine cart with hopper, magma, slabs, ender chests and cake. Please add any below if you think of them!

11:30 THAT LAMP JUST SAID "IEIA" IN MORSE CODE CHANGE MY MIND

"Some of the new 1.5 additions"

Who ever discovered that saplings work as randomizer he is a life saver. I need it for my redstone game

It's videos like this that teaches new players how to be more creative and create innovative stuff. Thank you, Ilmango

A grass block can also be used in odd ways, for example, when you put snow on top of it, it can be detected by an observer, I can think of a few ways I would be able to use this in traps.

How you know so much lol

I love these kind of videos. I was aware of a few, forgot a few and some I never would have thought of. Can't wait to come back to this again when I get stuck trying to make a contraption and utilize one of these!

The intro on 2x speed is a true jam

I love hearing the joy in his voice talking about this stuff.

The component that I find always surprises people is cake

“New 1.5 editions” 1.5: released 7 years ago

0:55 Observer was added in 1.11 not 1.10

why doesn't Mojang want to add a slime block to redstone category? this block has been used many times as a redstone component

It's all these extra mechanics that make redstone so rewarding to work with. The emergent mechanics add so much more depth and interest to the intended experience. Thank you for this catalogue! I'll revisit this video until I've memorised these quirks

wow this is the soonest Ive ever watch a video after it was posted

That 4by4 piston door is the most beautiful one I've ever seen, tutorial?

I’ve been waiting for a video like this for quite a while, and now you’ve finally done it! Thanks ilmango!

This is great! I’ve been trying to make a note block song with smaller distance between each note and I couldn’t find nothing before. Thanks so much!

You're the best redstoner

you forgot signs, you can place then on each other, and if you break the first one, you break the rest if them, creating somewhat of a makeshift redstone line. I used to use this mechanic to make traps back when PE didnt have redstone yet

Thats so cool I can think of many contraptions using those mechanics thanks so much

You sound so excited! And it sure was exciting to learn something new, thanks!

His accent is so thick the KZfaq captions think he’s speaking german

Where's my boy, the redstone ore? :(

this video really help me continue my redstone project that i almost gave up. cool idea mango, keep it up :D

Man, I remember when you used the saplings for the floor of the Guardian farm perimeter. That was pretty awesome and well done

This is more of things that an observer can detect

My phone: shows notification for an ilmango video. Me: stops whatever I’m doing to watch it immediately. Edit: great video even though you said that the observer was introduced in 1.10 😂

Love this style of video it's nice, keep killing it man your vids are great

This was a very enlightening video ilmango, thank you.

4:20 Mumbo Jumbo would like to know your location

Observers can litteraly detect almost everything If they didn't change observer mechanics in 1.13, half of all the stuff in this video wouldn't be true.

I was wishing for a video like this , thanks ilmango :D

I actually discovered the fun of liquids and redstone when I needed to sync up a lava fall in a world. It was the most compact thing I could come up with to get a signal to go down and as it turns out it's a lot easier to sync up falling lava using falling lava instead of a timer.

You should turn on vsync there’s screen tearing

"new 1.5 update" we're in 1.16 lolol

Came back to this video after seeing Mumbo use the water stream trick on Hermitcraft. Great video again, I love this and use the leaf thing a lot now!

ilmango your videos are so addicting keep it up bro

wait i thought the redstone leafs were just a troll someone did what

What about melting ice? It could activate a observer

Right, that melted my brain.. got some great tips ilmango,thanks

Thank you really much for this collection! I did knew the most of them, but this helped me nevertheless :)

When you are early, and the video has more likes than views

The most important redstone block is actually the redstone ore..(who would've realised that) jk

incredibly useful Redstone video i didnt know i needed to watch. thank you so much my dude on the other side of the world.

A sapling giving you a truly random clock that's so cool

first

Really cool vid mango, thanks!!

Honestly these videos are really important, although also funny. Sometimes you have to think outside the box to get a circuit working!

For a person who just got into minecraft redstone this 2020 this is so informative, imma try use that villager bed detection system to my auto sugarcane farm, Thank you

This things that make compact and fast vertical redstone signals possible are just awesome. This cobweb-minecart delay is genius! And a reliable clock using villagers? Oh dude I will use all of this a lot!

I’ve played this game since 2011 and I didn’t know about the leaves mechanic or the scaffolding one, that’s amazing! Thank you.

thanks for the mention! great video

Thanks for reminding me about all the weird primitives! I feel inspired to make something interesting.

Some other fun tricks: - A comparator watching the output of a detector rail can get how full chest/hopper minecarts are. - Redstone dust on stairs/slabs/glass are powered by redstone dust below them, but not the other way around.

9:41 i made a short video about that in my channel when this was introduced.... i think i called it "diagonal observer detector"... i'm glad to see you showcasing it, since my video got almost no attention.....

Mumbo: makes a 3x3 piston door w/o redstone dust. Ilmango: ha ha 4x4 pist'n dor wid liiivs.

My favorite is noteblock + observer. You can make nice looking farm with them and flooding does not affect them.

And everyday thing for a genius madman like Ilmango

this is so useful! thanks for the video

Something else special about shulker boxes (and slime blocks) is that they can be powered, but also they let light through. This can be useful when using daylight sensors so you can send horizontal signals in compact things where you cant run wires.

The noteblock is also very useful as theres 3 ways you can cause an update. Power state, note, and instrument type.

Which ones did you guys know about? I personally knew about terracotta, walls, Slime blocks and honey blocks (obviously) water, beds and leaves. I also knew about cauldrons because they were important back in 1.8.

Can also use redstone with shulkers to auto compact storage. for example. have a full shulker chest and empty shulker chest and a filling station per item you want to sort. You would dispense a shulker box and fill with desired item until full then break and place shulker into proper long term storage until player goes to withdraw that shulker box from bulk storage. Nice for compacting massive farms like gunpowder, iron, gold, etc.

Glazed terracotta isn't the only block which doesn't stick to slime, but it is the only non-sticky block which can also be pushed by pistons

Dear Ilmango, Using the one-game-tick delay system shown at 6:04 in this video, I was able to *inject* sand into a sand column, from below. An observer pulse goes straight to the piston under the sand stack, but through the trapdoor-scaffold delay to the injecting piston, which is perpendicular to the sand stack and level with its bottom block. This gives the piston under the sand enough time to retract, but not enough for the sand it just pushed up to fall, allowing gravity affected blocks to be inserted into a stack of such blocks from the bottom up. This seemingly has immediate applications in sand-pusher contraptions, block magazines with sand displacement (for sand reloading) and may possibly permit novel construction methods for sand and gravel walls. ...Not sure if you were already aware of this being possible (I wasn't, and was amazed it actually worked!) - but either way, I was trying to get it to work last night, couldn't, then saw this video, decided to try it with the delay you showed, and then it just worked!!!

0:31 time flies by fast, doesn't it?

That leaf update is crazy! I don’t think many people knew that at all including me! Have to put that to use!

0:31 ''Some of the new 1.5 additions.'' I thought I was crazy to call 1.9 stuff ''new.''

I'm surprised you hadn't seen the minecart -> cobweb -> pressure plate one. There's also using water and boats with some changes. Really interesting idea. I can't remember who I first saw using it, good few years back.

In the furnace mine kart video you said something about extra ideas for neather wart farming. I would like to see a video on that

The wall trick was very suprising. I could have really used that recently

the timing with "dead coral ferns" and it dying was on point

Ilmango: *explains fill level output of composters and cauldrons* Cake: "am I a joke to you?"

Some of those timing things could be fun with note blocks for music. You could play with rhythm a lot more accurately.

I learned so much from this video, thank you

My favorite unusual redstone machine was the boat/pressure plate clock y'all made on the Skyblock server. Redstone without redstone is the best

Observers: *Exist* Random building blocks: It’s show time...
