A computer bit that's movable by pistons... the computer community is freaking out

It's way more than just that. If you think about it as storing either a 1 or a 0, it can get really powerful. This can be as simple as a reprogrammable combination lock, but people can also use it for memory banks in computers or basically anything that requires storage-especially since it's moveable. It also functions as a really easy binary counter. Also, it toggles on single game ticks, as opposed to the 2 game ticks of pretty much everything else, which means that lots of things can be faster. For example, pistons can be moved on 3 game tick intervals, so this allows them to be moved at the fastest possible speeds. It was previously possible, but it was large and clunky, which this is not. If not for the crafter, this would probably be the most significant redstone block in years, and it may end up even more useful than the crafter.

Apparently the other big thing that the copper bulb does is that it takes only 1 tick to activate rather than 1 redstone tick (2 game ticks) allowing for more precise timing in circuits

Just remember: according to redstone components naming conventions, this shall be refered to as 'Mumbo's copp-flop' (copper-flopper if you want to be proper).

Ah yes, the copper flopper

A one-block T flip-flop is revolutionary. Edit: A lot of useless arguing about the semantics of the word "revolutionary" in the replies

Way back I remember someone created a working Gameboy that played Pokémon in Minecraft. Was it Sethbling, I don't recall? But anyways using these bulbs you can quite literally make computer memory using the on/offs as 1s and 0s which should make recreating a Gameboy game in Minecraft 100x easier! Infact, it would be huge work but you could totally code the entire game using Redstone and these bulbs.

I don't know what name Mojang is going to give for 1.21, but they might as well call it The Redstone Update 2.0. Between the copper bulb and the crafter, it's going to completely revolutionize redstone as we know it.

I like how I get notifications from both Mumbo and Captain at the same time and the videos going over even more 1.21 mechanics 😂

It is also a 1 game tick delay. Which is the same as half a redston tick, which allows for easy out of phase redstone

Would be nice if Cap does a redstone series and slowly learns redstone bit for bit could be nice for starter aswell.

Your forgetting that this is revolutionary for being movable, meaning the flip flop data can be stored or moved with a piston to power other things. It also is one tick instead of two which simplifies things like a smooth piston wave

Yes, some may say you just made a lever/Switch, but now you have small lever/Switch with red stone input, normal levers can’t do that.

I cant wait to use the copper flopper

Genuinely this is such a cool little quality of life feature for wiring

For engineering, this is huge. It goes from having to physically hold a key down, to having a machine hold it for you. Like trying to add numbers on an abacus vs using a digital calculator.

Ignore me! I was thinking of an Observer, -which I think would work just as well except for the oxidization weakness- (actually it would be a pulse, never mind again!), but the Comparator shouldn't have to worry about it. Something that would be cool though was if more oxidized Bulbs emitted lower Redstone signals from Comparators, so if it wasn't properly built and/or maintained your wiring could degrade, like real life. -It should be noted that you probably want to use a Waxed Copper Bulb for this mechanism, since otherwise I expect the Comparator will pick up each time the Bulb oxidizes so it may activate a few times you don't want it to.-

forgot to mention copper bulbs do not function like normal redstone where a redstone tick is 2 game ticks it is going off game ticks so they update per tick. Meaning you can get sub redstone tick updates much easier.

Gotta love the copper flopper

When pistons were added in beta 1.7 I made a very complicated toggle light with pistons and glowstone

How we know Jardon is not a redstoner: in the video *showing off* a one-block T-flip-flop, his most complicated contraption is... a light switch 😂

Every time there’s a new update there’s always so much cool new commands and red stone stuff I don’t understand. But I can recognize that it’s cool. So whenever people call mojang lazy is annoying cause there’s always more stuff than meets the eye with each update

Now we need this block to be the heart of a copper golem so we can turn them on and off.

I don't know how people haven't shown one more mundane use of it, like a piston door that you can open and close from both sides. Imagine that in this light circuit he presented, there was a button on the other side you can press to turn these lamps on and off, it couldn't be done with a lever that easily

The copper lamp is indeed very revolutionary

jardon is useing the flashlight from his phone to charge a solar powered battery thats charging his phone.

It's called the "Copper Flopper" or "Cop-Flop" for short 😉😂 - Mumbo 2023'

I'm honestly gonna miss T-Flip-Flops. They had gotten quite compact nowadays being only 2x2x1, and it honestly never felt like a chore to install them, rather a privilege, because it would make people go "oh, your button stays on. That's cool." Admittedly it's a very simple system, but my friends noticing always made me feel smart

Another benefit of the cooper bulb is that; for more complex systems, the light is a great indicator that can help make troubleshooting issues much easier

I designed an overcomplicated compact garbage disposal about a year ago. I needed a toggle in part of it, so I did a bunch of research and testing until I found a design that would fit in my machine. A few days ago I revisited the idea and it was as simple as stuffing a few copper bulbs in the right spot! I'm super excited for the potential of these new Redstone components!

The copper flopper is indeed revolutionary

Gotta love the Cop-Flop

Another redstone engineer pointed out theres even more the bulp can do that is revolutionary that you did not cover Redstone signals usually only update per 2 ticks and some redstone system require it to work on single tick instead, so they usually had 2 systems working together seperately with one with an offset of single tick, which is extremely complicated and stuff well it turns out the copper bulb send redstone signal trough observers in a Single tick, instead of 2 ticks, which is absolutely revolutionary for simplifying a lot of extremely complicated redstone machines and thats not just all of it, some redstone contraptions used T flip flops to hold memory of 1's and 0's yes literal Solid state memory the bulb can do that in single block, contain 1's and 0's with copper bulb redsotne engineers might go above and beyond and make literal games, run doom on minecraft using redstone by simply writing the game's code into bulbs from raw machine binary code

I believe, for legality, this is called the Cop Flop which is short for the Copper Flopper

just wait until the inventions start popping up being extra compact because of the copper flopper

finally, a memory block that can store a bit of data!

So they've basically made a togglable redstone power source, but unlike a lever, you can toggle it with _other_ redstone signals. That's actually really cool, and not something I considered. What's the level of the output from the comparator?

That is exactly what I was hoping would be done with the copper lamps when I first saw how they worked. It'll save so many headaches in the future.

Remember that CPU-in-Minecraft project? Imagine how compact it can be now. This is BIG.

it would have been really cool if you went to a all stone super flat world for this video, to be closer to the red stone logic gate videos you used to make, many many years ago. (or if you somehow still had that world)

4:00 anyone else wondering why he uses the lamps and not the bulbs for lighting? i mean i get the bulb is vary useful but this is like using a flashlight to power a solaer palne for a lightbulb.

3 block transistors are crazy for Minecraft computers. We will see some cool shit soon

All hail the copflop

Jordan, MumboJumbo is ahead of you on this and the combination of a button, copper lamp, and comparator to make the worlds smallest T-flip is trademarked as "the Cop Flop". You didn't mention it once in the whole video, so I figured someone needed to make you aware.

I should try more Redstone stuff.

This probably isn't all too useful, but it would be kinda cool to use the copper bulbs that are actually part of the circuit to light up the area that the redstone contraption is in (if it's in a enclosed area like in a wall)

Now create a contraption that counts, another that does addition, and another that does subtraction.

You're so really great!

I can’t wait to see all the new amazing redstone contraptions people much smarter than myself create with the cop-flop

I might even like this more than the crafter...

So basically mojang created the first IC (integrated circuit) in minecraft

Daylight Sensor with a non-transparent block above it: "am i a joke to you?"

I don't think I've ever been so early to a CaptainSparklez video

Always want more redstone mechanics, and I was wanting more uses for copper too. The 1.21 update is looking really promising so far.

Id still really like a "cracked" or "broken" variation of the new light block. Main difference would be that the broken version wouldn't emit any light. Id prefer to avoid lighting updates within my Redstone circuits.

jardon tryna figure out a video idea. this is what he comes up with bruuuu

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the new tuff textures. You liked the old ones a lot but now they've turned it upside down to match stone bricks. Do you still love it?

this works perfectly for lights to be toggled by a tripwire.

Idk much about red stone but i like making simple rube goldberg machines.

Oh my god, this is the biggest event for redstone lamps in the history of mankind!!!

Funfact: if you connect 8 copper bulbs with 7 comparators, you'll have a working byte

Time for the minecraft community to make smaller calculators and computers now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would allow us to create binary counters with as little as 8 blocks, no?

Redstoners are calling it the "Cop-Flop."

Ive been calling this the Slice & Device update

Who wants a switch when u can have a buttonS -Probably the biggest thing for everyone who arent good with redstone is u can add as many buttons as u want to do a single thing - lets say a hallway lighting, run a redstone wire through all the buttons and the end of that wire to the copper bulb and boom as many buttons as u want as a light switch

Does anyone else see that the copper bulb has a red pixel in the center when initially activated.

Thy gotta name this update The Redstone Revolution

Counting with jardon. 1 a button . 2 a copper light. 3 a. Comparator. = That's two things.... 😅

The cop flop

Now we just have to make something that makes a copper bulb act like a redstone lamp.

Ah yes, use light to light light

Copper Flopper!!!! (Cop-Flop)

Cop flop

I’m still too smooth brain for redstone

Cop-flop: mumbo jump

BINARY MEMORYYYY!!!!!!!

Praise the red stone gods!

People already built a turing machine with these...

Copp-flop

just use a piston for the t-flip-flop

This is the INTERNET in Minecraft AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

that t flip flop is horrendous

I don't understand why the first/thumbnail t-flip flop is so unnecessarily big

Bug? Or Feature? The difference is whether they keep it in the game.

I love these new blocks are so nice. Levers are so ugly

So, if you for some reason depise levers, life just got a lot easier for you 😂

Neat

Nice

Already 700 veiws on this vid damm

Why don’t you just… use the copper bulb?

why did your like button not glow when you said to like the video? It worked with the subscribe button, but not the like. Maybe it needs to be specifically "Leave a like" and not "Like the vid"...

I love youuu❤

Hi

Wow I have never been this early lol

Nice ❤😊

Hello

Cool
