What the HECK Does Each Redstone Component DO? (INCLUDING 1.21)

So, Lectern is also an "Activator": It gives a pulse every time you turn a page, you can even see it when in the "Comparator not included" thar the Dropper started to give you itens when you turned the pages. The Chiseled Bookshelf gives redstone signal according to the last book interacted, not like any of the storage units. The Jukebox is not On/Off, the signal strength depends on the disc you're playing.

23:30 i believe powering the Large Dripleaf actually "locks" it and stops it from collapsing if stood on. that explains why it immediately goes back up when powered, because it can only be in the "up" state when powered.

Thanks for the basic info. I am just setting my sights on understanding how to work with redstone and this was a great intro.

Additional notes : - Sticky pistons will unstick/re-stick to a block if you give them a short redstone pulse - You forgot the other main function of the hopper, which is to draw items from containers, as well as items that are dropped on top of it (including on a non-full block standing atop the hopper) - No mention of the hopper minecart and its difference with the hopper (faster pull rate and pull through a full block) - Jukebox + Comparator will output a signal strenght based on which music disc is inserted, not just a standard on/off full strength signal. - Should have mentioned two ther propertie of the repeater : it acts as a one-way only signal, like a diode, and its output can be locked by another repeater or a comparator giving signal to its side.

I've played since 1.5.2 and now have a better understanding of the Comparator, LMAO. Thanks for that. =)

Hey Chum thanks for the in depth tutorial and lessons / explanation! Just wanted to say I appreciate your work in the vid and GL towards your journey to hermitcraft.

Yeah, weighted pressure plates got more or less ruined when item stacking was introduced to recude entity count or whatever. Now even an item stack counts as one entity.

you don't seem to understand the bookshelves they give out a redstone signal depending on LAST inventory slot used place a book on the 6th slot: output a signal of 6, REMOVE a book from the 6th slot: STILL output a signal of 6, it's not on the fullness of the bookshelf, that's why an empty bookshelf that had books in it before is still outputting signal depending on the position of the last removed book!

I think the bookshelf outputs a signal strength related to the last book slot interacted with not to how full it is.

16:00 Yes the lamp conducts redstone. This is why we have to place repeaters into blocks next to them to power only 1 when lamps are adjacent; like a storage silo indicator light for example. Also, why no mention of the enchanting table? Pretty sure it's packed with redstone interactions.

4:07 you forgot to mention that you can usually just use levers (which are much cheaper than redstone blocks) in the place of a redstone block. However, levers can't be moved by pistons and redstone blocks, levers also can't be waterlogged. So if you're building something that moves and/or something that is underwater, you need to use a redstone block. You can't use levers as a cheaper alternative..

34:05 There is a good reason why crafters output a redstone signal and only up to nine. It's so you can automate using the crafter. You can take the redstone signal output, wrap it around itself, and make it fire itself all automatically. Disabled slots also count towards the signal strength. The reason why they didn't make each item in a crafter be equal to 1 2/3 of a redstone signal is to simplify it. What's easier? One signal strength per item up to nine, or 1 2/3 signal strength up to fifteen?

25:00 they are also useful to lock dropper minecarts...

This video definitely helps with basic Redstone knowledge. A few recommendations that may have already been mentioned. -Supply viewers with some other examples. You mentioned that hoppers are used in auto sorters but a basic demonstration would have been nice for this. I only say this because of the examples with some other mechanics, even diving deep into comparators. -One thing you could've touched on with the note blocks is that placing a mob head on it negates the instrument sound and instead plays the mob sound of the head. -You didn't discuss that droppers can insert blocks into other blocks, like a hopper, but just needs a Redstone signal. -Activator rails are also useful for dumping out mobs! Very useful for moving mobs safely. I really enjoyed the video and I am hoping that you create another video diving into "Advanced Redstone."

I didn't realize the vsauce music is royalty free

23:00 so instead of electricity, the brain in Minecraft used redstone to tell the body to move?

Activator rails also eject a rider in a minecart

5:32 The reason is performance. Game groups multiple itemStack entities into one as long as the count in each entity combined is below stack limit of the item and the items types are the same.

22:10 Unsure about dropped items, but hoppers stop removing blocks from containers when powered 24:26 also uncertain, but it could be mentioned that they only power up to a certain number on one charge. Would be cool to see if the number changes with signal strength as i am unsure as of now Great overview though, thanks

Thanks for sharing!
