Binary Encoded RGB Gaming Beacon in Minecraft

I recently discovered the magic of rainbow beacons, of course this means we should overengineer a binary encoded solution to make the rainbow beam thicc. In this video we will learn about some quirky redstone mechanics that can make some mechanisms normally believed to be impossible, possible.

@cubicmetre 2 жыл бұрын

When I first heard the iron door story it gave me a good laugh and made perfect sense, the second part to the story was that many of the older redstone components implemented during the beta had this quasi connectivty which carried over to the full release and exchange of ownership. This is why so many newer components do not exhibit quasi connectivity like hoppers, noteblocks, etc.

@SRAZKVT 2 жыл бұрын

the button is actually broken in the same gametick as when the piston starts extending, sends a block update to the piston, and since that is in the block event phase, it does a 0tick. What you described is a 1 tick pulse

It's actually a 1 tick if you tick freeze press the button and then tick step the button will be there the next tick however the full block of piston will no longer will be full block as the piston head extends and this will result in the breaking of the button and we just call it a zero tick meaning removing the power source the next tick.

Y'know, counting the odds from 1 to 31, and back down the evens from 30 down to 0, you could do the same thing by just counting up and shift the outputs, the 1s are given the 2s output, 2s are sent to 4s, all the way to the 16s counter being sent to the 1s output. It's the same system and all you need to do is rewire instead of re-engineer.
