Omg so did I. I was like: "A Minecraft world takes more space fully loaded than most pcs can handle so how would you remove all redstone?". Then I realised the true context of the video.
It is impossible to run out of redstone, for there are redstone-less farms that produce it.

Hello mysticat
If you want great farms without much technical knowledge, then Ianxofour has a ton of easily accessible tutorials for players of all skill levels.
making decorative redstone is great as it not only has room for solving technical challenges, but also shows the creativity of each redstoner to make satisfying builds!
Didn’t realize you still were into Minecraft! Your channel was an inspiration for me when I first started learning redstone :D
@@rajanslee thank you!! ☺☺ and I still watch some redstone channels!
redston ezy but repeater redtourch composter piston observer combine together is like u vs thanos....but with all 6 gems and godarmor💀
Imagine a spiral 3x3 that spirals both ways depending which button pressed
Best part about decorative redstone is it's dependant on context, so there will never be an exact, calculated solution for every build.
This hits a certain note for me. I’ve been building a computer in survival for about ten years now. Just the respect you show for people who love exploring the possibilities simply because they can, really felt nice.
how the hell did you keep that up for 10 years
@@powerplayer75 I guess that’s a pretty good question considering all the changes we’ve been through over the years. Initially I was just on console so I had to rebuild a bunch of things as everything changed. Really it’s no different from someone holding on to any other world for that long except more stuff breaks when it’s all technical. hahah None of it is on this account, this KZhead channel from which I’m typing at the moment, so I’m not really trying to self-promote, but I’ll show you the progress over the years if you’re interested. I obviously learned quite a bit from other redstoners as my build evolved. It really comes down to the fact I didn’t want to “give up”. Never really played PvP or multiplayer anything a lot. Just found a guy making a computer in Minecraft on KZhead one day and said to myself “that looks like something I want to do” and I never stopped.
i am so very interested where do you post that ? ? @@heatshield
@@mei3786 I don’t post it public. I can put together something after the “holidays” if you want to see it. Right now it’s just a boatload of screenshots, photos of the screen from a different camera, videos of neat things I learned as I experimented and some other random stuff like documenting the similarities between my build, Minecraft mechanics as a whole and real computers. I’ve been far surpassed, really to be honest, lagging behind the huge redstone KZheadrs the whole time. I’m not trying to beat them or anything, just enjoying the creative journey and sharing of technical information and whatnot. I’ll try to get back here in a few weeks and let you know if I put something up somewhere public, because you seem genuinely interested. I don’t want to self promote on someone else’s channel though, so I’m trying not to say much here and probably won’t say much later. One of my biggest accomplishments was being one of the first to figure out an efficient single line series data port independently of other methods or influences, so I’m happy to share that at some point in the future. It’s all been WAYYYY outdone since then though, so don’t hold your breath for any modern breakthrough. Nice to chat w you. Cya round.
yesss id love that@@heatshield
I like that you touched on the Skulk sensor. For years people were saying wireless redstone and then it happened but don’t really see any farms with it
there are anti-elytra guided aerial reusable mines w/ calibrated skulk sensors
Sorry this video took way longer than usual, I just switched editing software and it took me a while to fully learn it, but I should be back to usual pace now (and the video quality will have gone up a bit as you can see from some of the fancy animations in this video :P)
bro dont apologize please. The video is insanly good! Keep up the work and i'd love to see more "longer" videos like this one :)
Hey man just wanted to say love the vid! Also what song did you use at 4:45?
Is it just me or have you changed your profile
what software did you use?
redstone was invented 2 days before i was born :)
7:30 love to see that someone still remembers cubehamster. I could and still cannot believe how he made those giant moving objects all those years ago. He is truly inspirational.
Cubehamster wasn't a KZheadr who made redstone, Cubehamster was a redstoner who made KZhead. Sometimes it is a combination, but the more you are of the latter, the better the redstone.
Cubehamster was awesome, I miss his uploads
I remember making the atlas mech he made in the Xbox 360
His videos with his mechs actually made me want to play minecraft, that was the first thing that brought me to play.
dude i remember reading about that guy in a Minecraft book
I find it great that autocrafters were announced a few days ago for minecraft live. Guess there's gonna be plenty of new redstone construction now
Don't forget copper lamps
Oh how close we came to greatness
I think that the guy that made 16 kilobytes* of RAM is revolutionary and is basically a whole other branch of redstone
That's called computational redstone.
Wait, MEGABYTES? Thought the biggest we got was 16 kilobytes, I need to check this out

For the farming side, i think it's notable to mention ianxofour. He's been at the forefront of extremely innovative and practical builds for survival minecraft. And i want to see more farms of that style
One of the best farm builders/tutorial makers out there. Saved me a lot of time
Ian has taken many farms that used to be complicated and tome consuming (primarily wither skeleton, guardian and tree farms), and made versions that are simple while also getting the best rates possible. He's been a real game changer.
AUTOCRAFTINGGGGGGG

Factorio minecraft when
I believe copper pipes may be game changing to Minecraft.
We have hoppers tho.
Logical redstone is far from its limits i think. The main limitation right now is speed and performance in really big and complex builds. So i think logical redstone will keep developing as irl computers get better (which can also help with the speed issue if you use mods that can speed up the game)
With the mods Redstone Pen and Gauges and Switches, much easier to make complex systems in a fraction of the space when you can place redstone on any face of a block with isolated tracks.
I mean we already hit threadstone (and is proved that can be used on survival) Wich is the most logical yet strangest type of redstone
The day Mojang adds redstone N:1 lookup tables and then someone makes a program that can synthesize and place&route Verilog into Minecraft is the day redstone gets completed
The speed of IRL computers isn't the bottleneck. The bottleneck is the coding of the game itself; how redstone works. Whether you run it on a Raspberry Pi or a supercomputer, the game's limited to the blocks available and 20 ticks per second, no matter what. You can easily demonstrate the fact that the game can run faster even on rudimentary hardware by simply increasing the tick rate with carpet mod.
I had an idea. Honey Pistons. The way they work is like a sticky piston, but instead of pulling the block back, the honey piston gets pulled forwards. It makes flying machines easier and can be used in a bunch if different ways.
That isn't super useful cause only the piston itself would move, and nothing else, ever
@@sir_slimestone3797 No, it pushes but it moves forwards instead of moving the block back in place. Not as useful as sticky pistons, but makes a lot of redstone easier in survival.
just flip a piston backwards with a normal block and its the same
Basically just compact flying machines
@@Cat-pv6yximagine how small it can get with this idea of honey pistons
10:25 And there it is, the one and only reason I enjoy working with redstone. Designing things in creative, deconstructing someone else's creation and learning how it works, or simply experimenting through trial and error is how I'm able to create redstone systems on the fly in survival. I enjoy the problem solving aspect, and it goes as far back as creating insanely complex logic gate systems in Little Big Planet 2 on the PS3. I may use a lot of "2012 redstone" still, but I am aware of most of the "advanced" techs and use them whenever possible... But something about just figuring out how to do something brings me great satisfaction.
The Create mod is the best successor to Redstone, imo. But then again, at various points in time, I might've said the same thing about BuildCraft or Project Red.
Something I miss about older redstone content on KZhead was how needless it all was. I miss having people build selector panels and security systems and redstone houses because even though a farm is useful, novelty builds always just bring a smile to my face and would offer up new opportunities for invention
Mumbo jumbo is still doing that, he just made a giant take
he just made a tank and im sure people are gonna find ways to use it to defend bases and automate it
People are still doing thay today, i mean if you really think about it Piston doors are pointless, they're far more complex, slower, takes up alot more space, and causes alot more lag than if you were to use regular doors.
@@wirezd4279the doors that cause the absolute most lag are the ones filled to the brim and jampacked with carts
@@litetixwell ok maybe not 'far more lag' But pistons and redstone dusts caused considerably more than.. doors Though this is purely for comparison, as yeah most doors aren't that laggy except the ones that uses entities
Thanks a lot for the shoutout at 7:34 I was not expecting it! And I agree with the fact that slimestone is an area where a lot of things are still improving especially for survival uses
The things you said in the end is precisely why I enjoy redstone so much. I study other peoples design and mishmash different peoples concepts into a machinery that fits my needs and try to do the wiring myself. Nothing beats the satisfaction of finally figuring out circuit and bonus points if its compact, tileable, or server friendly.
I know nothing about redstone but this video was a treat to watch. The production quality was top notch, all the work you put into it was worth it :)
Redstone may be optimised. But I'm still gonna be designing my own farms and contraptions due to the enjoyment. Another great video purplers!
1
that's why I really like watching videos from the create mod, because people don't make the same farms, they just use the same intuitive mechanics and design it themselves
This was fascinating and very well made!
Great video man ! Editing on point
The part where it hits the most true for me was: 10:26 "Simply designing something and getting it to work all by yourself is the most fun part of Redstone, and it's very satisfying, even if it's already been done before." This tbh. Whenever i make my take on some contraptions, i used to look up KZhead tutorials of the same concept to obsessively see if my design is smaller or costed less materials, to spot even 1 block of difference, but then i started to do it less, because designing something myself and making it work still feels rewarding. I still watched other people's concepts though, of course
8:20 Bedrock edition be like But seriously we have crazy fast and cheap super smelters
Yeah but bedrock redstone is also a shit
Knarfy thinks your a geologist
I've never seen a better Minecraft video essay. This is clear and concise and showed me things I never thought I would be interested in. Props to you, mister Purplers!👍
i would love to see Minecraft add somethings like better hoppers, known as pipes
Dispensers can be used that way
@@KidPrarchord95 yeah but they require complicated redstone
Water bro, just add ice and you've got a cheap long distance item transfer
@getaround1276 I actually didn't know that, though using pipes would be easier.
1:33 the destiny reference made me happy
SAME
Same
Same.
On the part about having moving tile entities, if they did that and wanted to keep it as nondestructive as possible to redstone, they could make an NBT tag that could be toggled some how, with all preexisting tile entities having the toggle be switched to on. How you would toggle the immovable state would be difficult to speculate on, perhaps a new item that would be used on tile entities to make them immovable, maybe something like obsidian dust which could then be removed with a sneak click with the new brush
This video is so high quality and honestly makes me excited about this game again
Was not expecting the D2 joke but I greatly appreciate it lmao.
I always like to make my own designs for fun i don’t care about how fast or small it is i love inventing my own way and the feeling you get when it finally works is priceless
7:47 I swear the Chinese are always just better than everyone else 💀
I feel like there's a lot of potential for the sculk sensors, but they're just quirky enough that most people don't want to bother trying to use them.
Imma comment on your last statement of your video: So I’ve been a Redstoner for about 8-9 years now. And I never really wanted to go out of my way to learn more. I was into map making a lot and only had my things that needed to work (command blocks, some filter systems, binary counters etc etc) and im a somewhat new subscriber of yours and your videos really inspired me to get into door making and slimestone. While I’m still like quite far away from being a slimestoner, I designed my first 3x3 in 4 days and hey, it’s 1 block wide and 12 blocks tall. I think that’s fine (not gonna stay like that still playing around and stuff). And honestly I think so too. I mean most people don’t really want to get into super high spec Redstone. Mainly for 2 reasons (obviously there are way more but i will mention them because you didn’t xD ): 1.) it’s very competitive, so being ranked first in a category will mean that people will want to try and get that spot. So you yourself have to stay on edge 2.) it takes incredible skill to get to that point and if you reach it, you could also get a problem with your hardware.
Idea: You can choose if the piston can move chests, hoppers and other blocks, or if you dont want it you can have it as it was. Edit thanks for the likes
the way this has worked with every other minecraft feature is: if you want to play without it, play an older version (or play modded). don't see why movable tile entities are special
make a gamerule
Me who plays bedrock: Pathetic
@@joesphterry3319 Lol
@@The_undefeated_one That'd be a really weird and unlikely mechanic though, because as far as my knowledge goes, no other redstone system works like this, they're always unchangeable, they either work or don't, no customization. So i guess a better and more likely solution is to add a new block or change an existing one to have a similar functionality.
one of my favourite parts of redstone is seeing a build on youtube and trying to build it myself. yes you can copy it block for block, but i find it fun actually figuring out how and why it works. if i really can’t figure it out yes i’ll watch a video and copy but it’s the trying part that i enjoy.
8:27 *laughs in bedrock edition*
my whole life i didnt know mushrooms had light levels
redstone is a good example for, how sandboxy minecraft truly is
7:41 it's 3d conway game of life machines.
9:00 don't forget the honey block.
The honey block wasn't nearly as groundbreaking as the 3 I mentioned in the video
Knarfy thinks that you are a geologist
Satisfying and well put together video good sir. Nice work.
We've run out of ideas right now. We've made everything we can. And we've made it the best we can. We need something... new. Somethings different. It's happened before. Honeyblocks were a game changer for flying machines. Maybe it'll happen again.
I hope this video ages like milk
2:13 Fr
Is this a bad thing?
I wish there were more fun and decorative things to do with redstone for casual survival players. I always wanted to build a retractable bridge and would try designing one even on paper but never could figure one out. The type of contraptions average players want to do with redstone either aren't possible or are beyond their reach either by capability, time commitment, making room for it, or the resources needed.
after switching most of my redstone to beta 1.7.3, its a whole lot easier coming up with builds no one else. lots of builds unique to that version too. highly recommend seeing what your capable of with such limited components, great fun! maybe i'll share sometime :)
You put all the stuff you could want to know from this video into your description. I love you for that, so few people actually do that.
Auto crafter and copper bulb joined t he game
here after mojang announced auto crafting o.O awaiting redstone revolution
Maybe instead of adding in new immovable versions of Chests and Hoppers, we could keep them immovable (so that we don't break certain older contraptions) and instead add in versions that can be moved? Maybe by combining the original thing with some Slime or Honey in some way? That could still incentivize people innovating for Survival viable builds, since the Slime and Honey costs could really start to add up. It would still be possible for people in the late game who have Slime or Honey farms, but people without those would still be able to make use of smaller builds that don't need as much.
really insightful I enjoyed this!
I guess the Auto Crafter is gonna be wild
I consider factions cannoning, which only in the last 2 years has been moving on from 1.8.9, and there the incentive to make new things is decided by the meta on factions servers. If it ever gets stale, a server can just implement a new feature that needs a different way of thinking and people will get back to making new cannons, it's almost like they're actually useful. I think redstone doors don't have that type of need (a gamemode relying on improvements made to designs) which does lead to hitting hard limits
As someone who is very familiar with eol, to the point of having one on a smp I play, I can safely say that it breaks the game. The decision was made beforehand to cactus all the loot (although with a wonderful nether decoration) and have a down accel mobfarm built further for mob loot instead. It litterally felt like the game was broken. But then we used light supression to make glowing perimeter statue decorations. That was incredible. Quarries also hooked me up, flying machines are definitely interesting. Recently i've been hearing about "moving decorations" like moving wall patterns. For me at least, the future of redstone is in "decoration redstone" as you mentioned. And when you push it to the extreme as we did (the light suppressed perimeter took ~8 people and weeks of execution, not to mention months of preparation), it truely shines. Very interesting topic, thank you !
That was an amazing analogy for growth and stagnation. I deeply thank you for that.
Knarfy thinks you're a geologist
If you want a place to branch out, the Create mod is the place that is still really early in its existence.
I feel like this video could get very dark if, well you know *we do run out of redstone*
I like this was posted a month before the crafter which made a industrial revolution
Well what do you know, just a month later we got the block that will shake up the redstone community. The crafter is the next observer
The bulb is arguably more useful than the crafter in my opinion
Definitely, didn't know that they would add it when I wrote the comment
I think two things that would really revive redstone innovation are a block that can automatically place blocks, and more functionality for dispensers. For the dispensers, it would be really beneficial for them to be able to plant crops, nether wart, saplings, propagules, fungi, and mushrooms, and be able to milk cows. And automatic block placement would be the craziest thing to ever happen to Minecraft, especially when combined with the crafter. Those two would literally make potential redstone innovation INFINITE. Imagine just building farms to make farms that build more of those farms… so many possibilities with just one block
Think about it: every update with a 5 added something big to red stone. I bet 1.25 will add something big to red stone
Anyone know the discord server from 0:36 ?
Found it! It is the "Storage Tech" discord server.
I think making new, fresh innovations are going to be hard to think off since we have already made efficient things on differing areas of Minecraft that making a unique innovation will already be taken by someone else
You’ve been my favorite source for survival redstone doors for years. Still keep going back to your hidden staircase.
For my mob farm im just gonna stick to the old fashioned way: building a huge tower out of wood with a chute in the middle and fill it with water so that mobs can fall down and i can easily kill them
I would never be able to work out those complicated farms.
And then they just added the Crafter so everything is completely different.
every time i see these kinds of videos, i once again fall in love with that game
This was a great video. Well paced, informative, and entertaining.

Hey great video, I looked through the mod list to yoink some mods for myself but didn't see an animation mod, what mod did you use to get the amazing animations for the mobs at 6:32?
I feel like this is only really applicable to piston doors, like just recently cubicmetre developed a whole new kind of mining machine that could remove blocks at an arbitrary point at besically any distance through novel approaches to entity manipulation, something that was not thought possible before, and could unlock a whole new era of mining machines, trenchers, and world eater designs, and it feels like one of the biggest steps forward in a while
