HEy there guys! I am posting this to ask for help in my latest MC Adventure: The red stone chronicles! I am terrible with redstone and the only real thing I have made was a cruddy cannon. Can anyone give me ideas to build and walkthroughs on how to do them?
A good idea would be to build something that you are interested in. You could either make something that is useful in survival minecraft like auto brewing or an automated farm, or you could make something more technical like a clock or adder.
This is an interactive redstone world i made, might help you to get started on something. Feel free to use whatever you like in there.

I could use some help on how comparators work, besides sensing stuff inside hoppers and chests and stuff
I know a lot of people are the same as you, took me a while to work them out as well. They seem quite complicated at first (the wiki page on them is also fairly horrible), but once you get to know how they work it's pretty simple.
To start off the comparator is quite similar to a repeater, but it works with signal strength. It has a 1 tick delay and will repeat the signal that is input into the back. Redstone has 15 different power levels as well as an off state. So if power level 10 is input into the back then the power level at the front will also be 10.
Once you add a signal into the side of it you can get some more interesting results. The comparator has 2 different modes, comparison and subtraction (right click to turn subtraction mode on). First comparison, if the back signal is greater then the side, it will do nothing at all, just act like a signal repeater as before. However if the side signal is greater than the back, then it will turn it off and give no signal at all.
For subtraction mode, the side signal will subtract the power level from the original coming from the back. So if the back power level is 10 at the back, then the side signal is 4, the output power level will be 6.
Once you understand these things you can make some pretty cool inventions. I managed to make an infinitely expandable decimal adder that would be 10 times the size using binary. Only needs 3 comparators for each digit.
If you want to know anything more about them just ask

How do you do auto brewing(I cant even do normal) or an automated farm?
Start off simple then work your way up. Do you know how hoppers droppers and comparators work?
