Tutorials/Automatic time resetter



It is an Automatic Time Reset machine that I invented(I haven't seen it before). It uses the new Daylight Sensor block and occasionally a Command Block to reset time. It keeps the time of day automatically.



It uses the new Daylight Sensor in the snapshot 13w01a. The sensor deactivates the Redstone torch which will activate the Command Block which will set the time to 80000 when there's not enough light for the sensor to power the Redstone torch across the far distance. In other words, the Command Block will set the time to Noon when it's dark enough. The light level when the command will be activated varies with the distance of the Redstone wire. The time it sets to varies with the time typed in the Command Block.



To make it, first, you place the Daylight Sensor on a open area. Then you place some Redstone wire away from it. The distance of the Redstone wire depends on your need of precious time. You can only have a max of 15 blocks of Redstone. Next, you put a block on the other end of the Redstone. Put a Redstone Torch on the block's side and a Command Block on top of the torch. Right click the command block and start with "/time set" and enter a valid time value and the end. The value depends on when you want to set the time to. 14000 is night and 8000 is noon.



This design can be used in maps to keep it a certain time of day/night. This simple contraption can only be used in Creative mode or when you enable Cheats.
