Just tested, yes 2 observers observing each other make a clock. The 2 outputs are out of phase and can be run together to the same output, but it doesnt seem to make a dropper faster. Its hard to tell if a dropper is at max speed or not.
And that is exactly the principle that we (Myself and Johnny Kayson) created our new Item Transit design upon. We call it the Watchmen Pipeline, and it uses the fact that two observers observing each other create a clock to power droppers. Both in the traditional fashion (elevators), but it also functions in many other ways.
Hi, I was playing around with observer blocks and made this, a super fast, vertical redstone clock
The output on the left gives a 1/2 tick pulse and the one on the right gives a one tick pulse.
The observing part (The big circle) of it should be pointed in the same direction as the repeater.
That is amazing. Dropper elevators will be easier than ever now!
Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
Indeed. It does not suffer from torch burnout so it runs at twice the speed, plus since there no light updates its lags less.
Notice an observe block will output a signal when it sees a state change of either on or off. So you will get two pulses.
It seems 16w42a has broken this clock. That's too bad.
This is working again in 1.11
or just use two repeaters in a vertica loop. however, this is smaller
What about 2 observers pointing at each other?
