Talk:Tutorials/Redstone computers

So far, this looks like a generic outline of computer architecture. Is there going to be any content that relates directly to Minecraft? -- Orthotope 06:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Page completion
Could you please get this page done soon? I was all excited when I saw this (i'm a redstone geek), but I was dissapointed to see it isn't finished. When will it be done?

Also, perhaps you could add a section about uses for a computer? --SnipahKitteh---&#34;wanna play some haaaaa-looooooo???&#34; 21:16, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Try to be patient, please. We're trying to put up some information about the basis of computers in general, so there can be a general direction when we actually start building our computer. Computers are complicated machines, and just talking about building one takes a decent amount of time and effort. Hopefully some progress on the actual tutorial will soon be made. -Throughthefire 23:06, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Redoing of this page needed
This page is far too confusing and needs a rewrite to it. It is rather too technical for newbies who want to learn off of it and only demonstrates pictures instead of describing multiple ways of doing something. This needs to be rewritten in order to clear things up more. 173.206.7.200 03:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

This topic is too technical for newbies to begin with. To make it more accessible would be equivalent to teaching a course in digital electronics. I think it would be more efficient to outsource the theory parts to websites that thoroughly explain digital electronics and computer architecture, and leave this page for Redstone implementation details and caveats.

May I recommend breaking this page into a series of other pages using this page as a jumping off point with a simple description of each component. It would provide a cleaner and simpler tutorial helping to avoid confusion. 24.180.247.121 13:53, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Base 16
I think it would be possible to make a computer that uses base 16.

Do others agree?71.212.10.80 03:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Signal strength computing?
I just thought to ask: would a computer powered with signal strength instead of binary be more powerful than a binary computer of its size? :) 49.148.210.79 11:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Pending deletion
It's been nearly six years since I first raised concerns about this page, and not much has improved in that time. It still reads as a wikipedia-like overview of computer architecture, with hardly any Minecraft-related content. Unless objections are raised or someone starts making substantial improvements, this 'tutorial' is liable to be deleted, as it contains nothing that would help someone to actually build a functioning computer in Minecraft. -- Orthotopetalk 22:32, 17 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't see tutorial content in this page too, and thus should be rewritten or deleted. Skylord wars (talk) 03:41, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I disagree. I think this is helpful for planning a redstone computer, and contains some interesting approaches to some components (such as tertiary memory). Redstone logic gates and other elements that would be required in a redstone computer can be found in other pages. PLEASE do not delete this page!!! 174.117.107.234 17:21, 2 January 2018 (UTC)


 * This wiki is about Minecraft; use Wikipedia if you want to research how computers are made. This page just reads as a Wikipedia article with little to no Minecraft information. Especially sections like #Machine-Architecture have no place here; the prose is way off and it has resource pack images. It also features images with no other information. If you want to keep this article, it needs to be completely revamped. – Nixinova Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Diamond_Pickaxe.png Grid_Map.png 18:50, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
