im certain comparators can do a lot more than walls can. I just like walls more because i use them more. I probably should have established that this was my opinion and not intended as outright fact. woopsie daisies

Finally a something stone component actually made out of stone

Wallstone? Of course walls are made of stone

My brain: you should focus studying Me: let's watch a 10 minute video of the mechanics of a block from a game i don't play anymore.

In cases where the wall is completely surrounded by solid blocks, and for some reason you still have to send a signal downwards without going out of line, you can use a piston to move a block like a lightning rod on top, which will cause the wall to become "pillared" because it's not a full block face on the bottom, i did actually use this once for a silly thing, so it can sometimes be useful i guess

the fact that “-stone” has become a productive suffix denoting any computational logic system

8:39 I did not expect hearing "it's like those very old lever combination locks" to make me feel so nostalgic.. and old

Random C++ nerd explaining his Assembly tricks he found out about by discovering a loophole in his CPU's architecture:

Daylight sensors were renamed in 1.13.. no idea why, the alliteration does not improve the name. Per the wiki they are still to this day called daylight sensors in bedrock, pocket, and 3DS editions of minecraft.

As a person whose entire restone is based on walls, I feel targeted

what i love about this video, aside from the completely mindblowing hidden in plain sight redstone goldmine, is the time of day used for the shots. a very cozy video to watch!

Fun fact: if you send a 1-redstone-tick pulse or less to a sticky piston, pushing a single wall in and out of place in a column of walls, you can effectively separate the wall into different sections without updating the shape of the wall. This is the core functionality of my instant carry wallstone adder, making gaps in the column where any carry operations need to stop. The reason you can't send a 2-redstone-tick pulse or longer to the sticky piston is because when you push the wall like this, the piston head attached to the wall would change the shape of the whole column, sending a signal down when you may not want it to

Sending signals vertically with basically no delay is exactly what I needed. I never knew walls were useful like this, but it makes sense with block updates. Thanks man.

The "UP" blockstate name makes complete sense when you look at the other states. NORTH means it connects to the block to the north of it, SOUTH connects to the south, and UP means it connects to the block ABOVE IT. Back when the walls couldn't connect to each other seamlessly, it made sense to have the "pillared" state be "up", since that was the state that connects to the block above it. Internally it just uses the same set of Direction values as everything else in the game: north, south, east, west, down, and "up".

One of my favorite tricks in Minecraft is to use a debug stick to make invisible, no-hitbox wall blocks, by setting all cardinal directions and up to "false". One block update, and you can get a large cage to appear from thin air. You can also pervent block placements, since they can't be broken, unless they are updated, and you still can't place blocks in those block spaces.

The possiblity of creation of AND gates and OR gates and the fact that inversion is just related to positioning implies the possibilty of a digital computer in Minecraft made with wallstone. (Which is just scary at this point.)

From the title and thumbnail I assumed this was just going to be some kind of weird novelty thing with no practical application - definitely didn't expect to have my mind blown so thoroughly!

I feel like this video was created just for me, because I was just saying the other day how I couldn't figure out how the read write functionality in the displays binary system worked, but now thanks to this video I completely get it. You hinted to just enough mechanics that I see how that setup functions now. Really appreciate that explanation, because after tinkering with this display for many weeks now and still failing to understand key components I was feeling pretty dumb. I feel redeemed now, ty :)

This is probably the first video that has convinced me to use obscure redstone mechanics, thanks to how easy it is to understand. So thank you! (I'll still probably only use the downward signal one, as i don't dabble in advanced redstone ^^')

I've been using wallstone for quite a while (possibly more than standard redstone lol) and I had no idea that you could observe (and draw signal) from pillaring in a cross shape, I thought it was only possible when flat, though you can also observe it from the bottom, which you didn't mention and has some niche uses and can make it a *bit* more compact. Anyway great video!

Discovered you while searching for something I wanted to do on my world, but watched your other stuff too and even though I am horrible with redstone, all of your videos, even this one that is more explanatory are really fun to watch and sometimes even fascinating, because in your videos (compared to other redstone youtubers) it is far more notable how the use and discovery of certain mechanics is absolutely insane in this community.

i must say the description is very interesting

Woah, loved hearing Gamelan Rain Melody in a Minecraft setting - MV and MC soundtracks fit together remarkably well! I guess it shouldn't surprise me, I have tracks from both on my _Chill Songs That Aren't Lo-Fi Hip-Hop_ playlist.

5:24 yeah, mojang is wild naming some things, especially in code, like Villager.tellWitnessesThatlWasMurdered...

I haven't watched the video yet, but I love how you just have a lantern on your head so that you can keep shaders on without it being too dark or too bright. I love it ♥ (I do actually like the shaders, also this landscape is very pretty :O)

Omg i thought i was alone, i even made a 1 min video about that a couple years ago. I think it was called "detecting signals on diagonals" or something. Ty for showing all the other stuff i haven't thought about.

Nice video! I really like walls, and use them a lot, but you showed a few techniques that I hadn't even thought of. I like these "explanatory" type videos, even for an experienced player, seeing the different ways players *think* about using components can provide new insights. I'd seen using doors placed sideways to make encoders, but I hadn't seen changing the position of the trapdoor between the necessary side and the antinecessary. Really clever! If there's a technique I'd like to add, it's that you can rotate the "necessary" sides by placing a 4 sided wall in between. Like, an unpillared east/west wall over a 4 way wall over a north/south wall leaves the north/south wall unpillared, but linked to the east/west one. This can be used to change whether a trapdoor at a given position pillars or unpillars the wall.

I barely know anything about redstone. But you have a nice voice. So this was my background noise for a chore I needed to do. Cheers ❤

This was super helpful. I was so confused with walls

I dont redstone often, but im suprised that i never realized wall could be used in this way. But for the glasspane stone mechanic you mentioned, lets just shorten that to PaneStone its easier to say, is easily understood within the context of minecraft what is being discussed, and sounds metal af despite being made from a slice of sand that got too spicy before chilling out.

Every time I think I've learned almost there is to know about redstone, someone blows my mind with something completely new and awesome. Great video, I sure learned a lot!

oh my god, this is a treasure trove of computational redstone

I love this sort of explanation video, you explain things in a way that is easy to understand, which is good bc I'm not smart. It also gives me more appreciation for a couple of ur earlier projects, cuz now I actually get it. You should do more plz, thx for reading!!! :D

Thank you for making such a complete video on this subject. I use wallstone very often in my own builds, but I never though about the logic mechanic. Great job. ^,.'.,^

calibrated sculk sensors are specially tragic in the regard of being outclassed by the walls, it could be saved if Mojang do this 5 thinks: 1. make it moveble by pistons 2. make it remember its tune with a tool to not need to be conected to a redstone input 3. make the CD 2 ticks 4. make the amatyst mechanic WAY longer, like lightning rod's lightning detection level of longer 5. every instrument of a music box being is own level of detection P.D. this optional, make it not emit a sound with bee wax, to not need water

this was very informative and relaxing thank you :))

Very much nice video! Great explanation!

I cannot believe, that the goddamn wall block is what I've been needing to include in redstone for vertical signalling I understand the love/hate feeling, this is like the best information for use in redstone, but the stupidest thing that could possibly have been the key to vertical problems

This is so freakin' brilliant.

I was about to give up on my redstone project, but you just saved it with this video

I'm so glad I came across this, really cool!

This is some next level stuff. Man, I didn't know that something like that is possible.

I feel like the biggest use here is the fence gate movement in the piston feed tape. And yes, I'd love to see more deep dive example videos like this. The modern redstone generation hasn't pushed available blocks as far as we did back in the day - forgetting to even use targets, etc.

My first contact with Wallstone was Doc's elevator on Hermitcraft season 9 and it blew my mind! Stuff like this is why I love Minecraft.

Good explanation I usually use them for instant vertical redstone

ever since mumbo showed this and bubble columns in a video my world has been revolutionized

Kinda stumbled upon this by accident, not sure if ill ever use this knowledge but its very interesting and its a well made video.

Your intro threw me back into my SethBling era 💀

I definitely think you should keep making explanatory videos if we keep getting insight like this

Very interesting concept, even for something i will probably never bother to use

Redstone is so genius it's implementations go way further than intended Great video, I would have never thought about anything like this😅

This is incredible. And copper bulb is gonna be insanely cool to combine with this.

I came up with walls as a quick way to trigger a ton of vertical dispensers at once a couple of months ago and now this vid drops lol

As if red stone wasn't boggling my mind enough, now you have come up with this? I think this is really cool, my mind is stretched.

You just blew my mind

I didnt know that walls can be used in redstone circuits, this open a new whole world for me, ty so much

your voice and videos are very relaxing thank you

As someone who is just getting back into minecraft and is trying to get into redstone design this is huge for me. Thank you!

This stuff is neat! I feel inspired again to make redstone stuff in Minecraft. Let's call it stonestone.

i like this explanatory type of video :D

i knew about the side connections for red stone i didnt know about the long vertical connections thats awesome!

This is the first I’m hearing about wall stone. That vertical wall blew my mind.

cant wait for the rainbow beacon tutorial!!

When I saw the binary counter I said out loud, "no way". This is some really cool tech, and the presentation is perfect

the and/or gate tech is *so* compact!

Lukthenotable gonna be having a field day with this

I havent watched this video yet but personally, walls and leaves make a huge component in my redstone builds. People asked for "bluestone" quite a lot, but I always found that walls and leaves acted as their own kind of bluestone in and of themselves

looking forward for the beacon video

this is insane i had no idea they sent signals when their state changes

I've used the instant vertical transfer for a minigame once. It was a dropper game so the signal had to reach the bottom before the players did to shuffle the floor.

"The reason why I bring this up, is that we have run out. There are even videos about signs man. Every Redstone video has been made. I have run out. - Squibble"

this is actually very useful. the server i play on limits redstone components to 15 per chunk and it really annoys me. they also have a separate limit for hoppers that's 10 per chunk, and i like to use many hoppers as decorative blocks too.

"add vertical redstone!" "what i'm gonna tell you is gonna blow your mind"

I see you made sure to record it during the sunset so people will have to turn their phone brightness all the way up 👍

"Glass pane stone..." *PAINSTONE!* But, on a practical note, using glass can potentially be useful in cases where you want to color-code. And it *also* looks a little bit like crystal relays in some futuristic technology. -Fencestone- Logic _Gates_

I heard of wall redstone from a mumbo vid and i really liked it, guess this is my chance to learn more about it

I tend to use some walls to help control restone systems like a ribbon cable. Its interesting to be able to send multiple signals on adjacent column of walls. Ive used this in combination with several redcoders and some basic logic to make a really ineffecient universal storage, sorting and item call system. Basically, i used 2 redcoders, one with a book and lectern and one with an item frame (8 lines per page, 8 possible outputs per item frams) feeding an arrayed system of logic gates (i also have multiple books stored via item frames, which acts as a 3rd dimension of selection. Select book, place in lectern, select page, select item on page with item frame "dial". System breaks if you have multiple books removed from their item frames at once or if books arent placed back in their matching frames, havent figured out how to handle that yet). They interact as an array simple gates so that only 1 output of the system is ever on. I then used walls to transmit the correct signal up to the correct stoarage silo connection, as well as sending the signal to pulse only the relevant dispenser at the "bottom" of each item silo x number of times (using 2 item frames for 1-64 pulses per activation by having a second twin redcoder array, each coresponding to counter that outputs a pre determined number of pulses from 1-64), and a final bit of wallstone to lock up all the inputs while the system is active. It works not great and is quite laggy due to the sheer number of components, but i effectively have the kind of item storage system normally only possible with mods, and im slowly adding autocrafting to allow it to auto populate more complex items into the system and it was a ton of fun to build.

Some 2 years ago i designed an elevator using wallstone as it's core (also bubblestone?). One of my favorite builds. I've built it in my survival world too, still works.

He's in the walls... HE'S IN THE NOTCH STONED WALLS!!!

"what...oh yeah vertical signal" - me

I've never got into redstone. Never will. But this. This is awesome!!!

Walls are insane if you don't care about noise, but i really like silentstone, so comparators and hop-droppers are the god tier components in that case.

Just used this the other day for its "OR" function. Did not realize it was so versatile.

Looking forward to the stonestone update

Damn, now I gotta make a sun powered wall house that opens up during the day and closes down at night.

I like your funny words, magic man!

i like how the wall becomes a gate

Never seen walls used in redstone circuits, this is actually fascinating

the downward pilar instant signal its fkn amazing

Wall stone has permanently entered my vocab

I knew how to use trapdoors to send instant signals up, interesting to know how to send them down too!

You are the Andrej Karpathy of redstone and I'm here before you get really famous

"Remember, No Pillaring"

Ok, I'm officially in my head making wall redstone part of primitive Redstone.

I don’t know crap about red stone but this is still really cool

What adds the latern on your head? Also Fantastic video, I never knew walls where so fantastic!

4:42 I remember finding out about that mechanic! It would have probably saved be from making broken wallstone or-gates.

your content are amazing, instant sub on the beacons

Finally I can make the stone wall wallstone contraption of my dreams

I haven't played Minecraft in 8 years but these videos are so interesting to me LOL
