Hey y'all!
I was playing around with the observer blocks with Thaumatarge and we found two amazing things:
- 2x3 1 tick toggleable clock
- Instant repeaters!
Due to the new 16w41a snapshot, all these creations are invalid! In the meantime, here's a new picture of a clock:
Let's start with instant repeaters.
Not only do observer blocks update when a block is placed, they also update when the block in front of them - which can be an air block - is powered by redstone. Not only that, but observer blocks also output instantaneously. Basically, when you line them up they keep updating each other instantaneously, so they basically function as instant repeaters.
Now about the toggleable 1 tick clock...
This is not a new thing, you could make one before, but 1.11 allows you to make it very compact. 2x3 even! Well, you do need a ground so it's technically 3x3.
And here it is! You don't need a tutorial, since you can see every block here.
And here it is again, but I replaced a block with a dispenser firing arrows.
And this is a combination of the machine gun and the instant repeater designs.

Wow nice! I'd be curious to see what people can do with this concept.
Due to 16w41a overhauling observer blocks, none of the contraptions here work anymore.
