A complex redstone device might not be every miner's cup of tea, but a giant chain reaction device can be a quite entertaining thing to build and test, and you can learn a lot from it. On this page are some ideas and tips that could make your RGM one to be noticed. Who knows, maybe you could become the Sprice of Minecraft!
Ideas
Zombie Maze
Show off zombie path finding by making a small maze with a trapped villager at the end. Near the end, make the zombie step on a pressure plate. Variation: make one exposed to the sky so they burn, causing them to find shelter with pressure plates.
N-ice items!
Droppers can be used to shoot items over ice that has water on top. Make an item slide onto a pressure plate that triggers another dropper to shoot more in a different direction.
Yes you can-non
Sand and gravel cannons could shoot a block over to an area that has a powered repeater with a redstone dust missing. Once the block falls in place it will be electrified and will conduct power.
Greenstone
Greenstone wire
A neat type of wiring can be made with cactus, sand and torches. Place a cactus, add sand on top, add a torch in the sand, and place a sand on the torch. Where the sand will fall, add another cactus. Rinse and repeat.
Bluestone
Water can knock out torches. Use a water device that knocks out a torch supporting sand/gravel, making it fall 2 blocks. This will continue the water flow.
Removing the pink sheep's jacket will cause the water to create a path for itself using the torches and sand.
Sandstone
A piston pushing sand over a hole with a powered repeater on one side of the sand's destination before it falls and a line of repeaters on the other side can make some short pulses, especially if a lot of sand is used.
Oh, shoot.
Make a dispenser shoot an arrow/snowball/egg/potion/anything else that is shot as a projectile when put in a powered dispenser at a painting or item frame. This will knock it off onto a pressure plate/comparatored hopper, sending redstone signal to the next part of the contraption.
Tips and tricks
- On Xbox 360 edition, you can exit without saving after testing the RGM so you don't need to reset it.
