But gerg, what if instead of lamps (which use redstone), you used trapdoors, and checked whether they were open or not? they shouldnt impact the water.

1:40 actually, hear me out here, you can use a redstone signal to control the direction of a rail. Pair this with a fueled furnace cart and it will do the same job that a powered rail will do.

Old Pocket Edition players used gravel, sand, signs and water for their minecraft maps before proper Redstone in Update 0.13.0. Even an old port of The Temple of Notch used that method. I kinda miss seeing it tbh

You should make a piston door… but without red stone. You could push boats around with water because you can’t walk trough boats so they can be used as a door, to stop them from moving forward and backwards you could use trapdoors which still let you walk through in between them. Alternatively you could use shulkers and make them teleport either into the door (closed) or out (open), I dont know how you make shulkers teleport but that would be cool.

ah i remember when i made a water computer. If you decide to continue this project, heres a suggestion. Use tripwire hooks above the water stream instead of pressure plates below it at some points. If you do, its possible for your signals to go up instead of down. Then, you can expand your designs much more than you originally thought. I totally recommend giving it a shot! Also, by using the hitboxes of oddly shaped blocks (such as stairs, amethyst, or fences) you can decrease the amount of time spent getting to a trigger making the overall system much faster.

"But I don't have access to powered rails" *furnace minecart has left the chat*

honestly the part i'm most impressed about is the fact that it resets i'd seen a similar concept, but the person who made the video just let the armor stands drop instead this system here keeps each armor stand in its own little component, making it completely resetable

Can’t wait till’ he makes a minigame out of this

Thanks, as a person too lazy to get redstone this is 100% helpful

gerg using pressure plates: creates a working redstoneless calculator Me using pressure plates: puts them in front of wooden doors because I'm too lazy to close them

I think it's hilarious that he pulled off the jigsaw blocks and structure blocks as Redstone components

"waterstone" is kinda like a ancient and lost predecessor to redstone

Ah yes, gerg (doesn't) suprise us with another brilliant challenge, putting it into perspective just how far you can push Minecraft, a game that yet again, keeps on giving. Live on champ!

Waterstone seems weirdly elven style, I can't really get that out of my head.

"Mom, can we have redstone?" "We have redstone at home." Redstone at home:

I'm really surprised he didn't just use sculk sensors for everything. I feel like he probably could have gotten a lot further if he included them into his build

"and then beat my head into a brick wall" relatable :D

I saw Jazziired do this before and it is a pretty cool mechanic.

Old pocket edition "redstone alternatives": one example is a one-wide tunnel for a water stream. Source on one side, holes of various depths aling, end has a torch. If you feel each hold *exactly*, torch breaks, which can be used as a combo lock output!

Well I like we explore the idea for Redstone-less Redstone, because keep in mind that some Single Biomes, like Basalt Deltas with No Structures, will never give any Redstone, and those are the worlds I tend to play in, so I was curious as for if I could even make some mechanisms in such worlds. Hoping more could be done with it, and maybe, just maybe, have some Nether alternatives just in case (I mean Single Biome Nether Wastes and Etc. still has water in the Overworld, but I really meant the dimension).

I am devastated that you missed out on the opportunity to call it “bluestone”

This is incredible, one of the best stone videos I’ve ever seen!

I feel like you should look at the old minecraft pe redstone builds before they had proper redstone. Used a lot of gravity blocks and signs. Thats what i thought this would be.

gerg is getting more and more insane

Gerg can make us laugh by bragging how much he hates his life and love it at the same time, wow

Ah yes, the quantum superposition calculator Redstone component. It'll be added in 1.21 right?

That was absolutely insane, I have never seen anything like that Greg. Today I learned that you can make some pretty cool stuff with limited supplies. Thanks for the awesome video

Gerg is a genius of many types

Any OG Minecraft player will remember the sand redstone alternative.

'Can't move minecarts without powered rails.' Furnace minecarts:

still better than what we used to have to deal with in minecraft pe. all we could do was put signs on each other, which would crash the game often

I want the video where you make a screen display with this system, just crashes the game if you ever look too far east lol

I remember when I used to play a Roblox game, I would use conveyors, parts with gravity and pressure plates/button and button deactivators to make scripts in a game where you couldn't make scripts. Then, I thought of making it in Minecraft and it was basically a bubble elevator with an item flowing up it with tripwire hooks (now that I look at it it doesnt work). But I'm glad to see someone else had the same mind as me!

I cool way to show the outputs of the big adder would be to make the outputs the player sees to be water being flowed out using a trapdoor to control the flow of on or off and then make those go into a buffer gate so basically reverse of the not gate and then you could show the outputs all the way on the ground

We need Mumbo Jumbo to go through an entire Hermitcraft Season using only THIS type of "Red"stone.

An interesting problem with waterstone is transporting signals upwards... What is a good solution to that? Now that I think about it, probably just using bubble columns... But it would be very interesting to see the process for compacting a waterstone system, dontcha think?

You actually CAN still use minecarts by building the looping booster tracks that were popular in Minecraft alpha before powered rail was addrd

Waterstone is just those old computers from the 50's

congrats you made the equivalent of a mechanical computer in minecraft

players in Pocket Edition before redstone components were added also had to answer this question, but they did so differently, the generally used alternatives for redstone at the time were systems utilizing cacti and signs. To input a signal a player would have to place a falling block such as sand or gravel, usually down a hole, this block would then fall directly next to a cactus, causing it to break, signs would be placed above the cactus in a line leading to whatever needed to be activated, such as a door (that would also need to be made out of falling blocks) losing the support of the cactus would cause the first sign to lose its support and break, this would cause a chain reaction resulting in every subsequent sign breaking and triggering whatever was in turn being supported by them. This was a very convoluted system that could only work once, which was why it was almost entirely restricted to use in adventure maps.

Gerg combined with mumjo will become god. Literally

u know its a gerg video when in the first 20 seconds gerg has to be derranges and crazy

Yeah, look up on the armorstand based redstone calculator. It's made entirely out of tripwires, doors, armorstands and water.

Old minecraft pocket edition used to make contraptions without redstone, mainly using signs sand torches and water. Stuff was really cool

The mask CD got me 😂😂😂

You said you can’t use Mine carts cause you can’t power the rails. (Which is true.) But what about using regular rails and Furnace Mine carts.Would that be able to perform a function?

“Once the armor stand is moved, you can not move it back, or can you” I bet you got inspired by vsauce for that one

This kind of video deserves an applaud.

clicked on this expecting nothing; instead got a lesson in computer science

Bro has a bigger brain than mumbo jumbo

I remember thinking of this, but was like, nah, that's impossible...

Why is this the most creative thing I’ve seen all day

next video:I CREATED A REDSTONE COMPUTER WITHOUT REDSTONE

Mumbo jumbo when he can’t find redstone ore

This is the ramblings of an insane person

Would be cool to see ppl try to make farms using this method instead of redstone

You remind me of Rick when he gets crazy explaining something to Morty 😂

Redstone was added in 2009. Mfs in 2008:

"WE CAN MAKE A COMPUTER, OUT OF NOTHING BUT WATER AND ARMOUR STANDS." Okay so do it. I'll be waiting

Now wait until someone builds a calculator with this

What shader do you use, it looks amazing!

This is what we call an analog digital computer

Dude I wasn’t expecting to get a refresher on comp sci 291 but I knew it was a banger video when bro made all forms of logic gates LOL

Somewhere out there, Mumbo Jumbo is having a stroke xD EDIT: Looking forward to the day some lunatic creates "Minecraft inside Minecraft" using only "water-stone"

Never knew I needed a tutorial for constructing ALU in Minecraft with armor stands.

"And then beat my head on a brick wall." -Gerg *Gerg beating his head on a white concrete powder pole*

Reminds me of pocket edition redstone. Fun times, lol

you are really underrated, great video

A simplified version of XOR is to put pressure plates on both sides of the Chanel. If both are on or both are off, they cancel out

okay ive been binging your channel, and im getting the urge to subscribe twice lmao

Java redstoners: *laughs in leafstone and scaffolding*

That’s actually insane lmao I wonder what the Minecraft devs would think of this

give an armor stand frost walker boots and you can make a flush mob farm. Have fun with that.

when that "or can you" came out i got very strong vsauce minecraft vibes

Bro's the new Mumbo Jumbo

I did not expect gerg to be testing my computer science knowledge 💀

Now all we need is a mini game of this to called it a finished video lol

the mask roast was crazy

1:57 “or can you?” Vsauce music intensifies.

Bro went crazy 😂😂

This is a work of art

Technically, command blocks fulfill your requirements

I love how you used the jigsaw blocks and structure blocks and called them a random complex name to confuse people

I like how people still find it interesting that the very simple building blocks of computing are in fact simple

Bedrock players before Bedrock Edition: Sand, cactus and signs.

“I LiKeD mY oWn CoMeNT🤓🤓”

loving these videos

I feel like the furnace minecart finally has its time

1:58 You had the perfect chance to become Vsauce but you didnt use it 💀

Me: Mom, can we have redstone? Mom: No, we have redstone at home. Redstone at home:

Honestly, you could still use minecart systems with a furnace minecart or booster tracks in Java Edition. Combined with hoppers, I'm pretty sure something could ve made.

the hardest part probably will be to transfer data from 1 component to another

If you want a fun challenge that's a little less restrictive than this, do redstone but by banning specific sets of elements. For example, lots of plots servers ban only some redstone components, but not all. The Mr. Beast build battle server from a few years ago banned components like dust, pistons, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, observers, any entities other than armor stands and item frames (yes, this means no minecarts, and I believe rails didn't work too), and water didn't flow. However, despite all those restrictions, you CAN still make some interesting contraptions. With just item frames, comparators, repeaters, redstone blocks, an iron door (and of course any solid block of your choice), you can build a combination lock to open an iron door, which I did on that world. These restrictions create one obvious challenge right away- you can't move redstone signals up or down with the resources available. Because water updates don't occur, you can't even use bubble columns or flowing water to move armor stands, so the entire build needs to be built flat on the ground. Despite this restriction, I did some testing months after the build battle was done, and I managed to make a base 10 number input with memory banks for each of up to 15 digits, all hooked up to a 7 segment display for each digit. It was too bit to fit more than a single digit in the build battle block, if even a single one, but it would have been well possible to make on the server if I had figured out the required circuits in time. And, because of how it was built, I think it can even be upgraded from a simple input and display to a full base 10 adder, all with only comparators, repeaters, redstone blocks, item frames, a container of some sort (I used barrels), buttons, and redstone lamps.

WHY AM I NOW FINDING THIS CHANNELLL!!! I have always watched d your _gerg KZfaq shorts (mainly the minigames) and I have NEVER seen this channel before. Definitely a new subscriber (EDIT) Me noticing that this is the same channel I have just never seen the videos I have only seen the shorts....

Waterwheels, amazing

The water model for electrical current - I mean armorstands - wins once more!

This doesn't have much to do with the video but your intro jingle is so very satisfying. Gives my silly lil adhd brain the happy tingles Edit: after watching the video, please don't make the whole computer. You'll die and then i won't be able to listen to your funky lil intro any more :(

Well, now you're obligated to try Greenstone (cacti circuits)

Finally a youtuber that makes redstone FUN.

Can’t wait for someone to animate bad apple using this
