Great for redstone inventors who don't have worldedit or a way to get unlimited items. I couldn't imagine creating any redstone projects without those two things 0.o

My first real accomplishment with redstone was a calculator that could display 0-9 on a really fancy seven segment display. My first real redstone thing I made was a basic seven segment display, which i then hooked up to a counter.

Good idea! I've been wanting to make a russian roulette game on a server I play on but didn't want to make a clock with and gates that would just lag the server to do it. This is easy, as all i need to do is drop a block of sand.

Well the thing is, the input must be the output for both sides. That's why I'm having a hard time compacting / reinventing that design in the OP.

That design works, but if i make the input the output...it's a clock. That seems to be the main issue here.

Adjust the delay on repeaters to shorten or lengthen the speed of the piston. To start it up, quickly place and destroy a torch on the far left.

Well, the height and length can be variable, but preferably as short as possible. It's more the width that needs to be small.

I tried but not sure what you mean it didn't work, Im not quite a good expert on redstone!!!

Did you put a torch next to it to start it up? Just put a torch down, the remove it, and connect the other side to your piston.

It isn't impossible, as I just provided you with a diagram of a working setup. It's more of a challenge to find another way to do this, possibly with pistons? The reason I made a topic is because I've tried to create countless designs and have had no luck. And I simply pointed out that design would not work, and they clearly didn't read my post on how it's supposed to be smaller than the example I provided (granted, you could squish those lines together to make it 2 wide...but it would still turn into a clock)

Don't get me wrong. I know It's not an easy task and I don't expect somebody to pull the answer out of a hat right away.

Make a clock using repeaters. Just take two repeaters, and put them side by side, but make them face opposite directions. Then, connect them up with redstone. Something like this:

|[r>]|
|[<r]|

Where '[r]' is a repeater, the arrow indicating its direction, and '|' is just redstone wire.

First of all, that is hardly decipherable. Second of all, it won't work. Thirdly, It is 3 blocks wide, the same width as the working example I showed you. Lastly, it will turn into a clock and cycle each side from on to off.

I've been trying recently to make a two way repeater. I found a design

But it's simply not small enough. Maybe it's not possible, but what i need is a 1 or 2 block wide two way repeater. Anybody have any bright ideas?

Looking forward to Minecraft becoming a game. Can't wait to see how they make this all fit together!

Could you possibly upload a schematic of the binary to hex to decimal part of your decoder setup? I was recently working on a straight binary to decimal decoder, but I ran into a design problem. Long story short, only one number of a pair could work. 16 and 0, 17 and 1, 18 and 2, etc...

I thoroughly enjoyed that entire video. Well done.

So, I've come to the realization that building a binary to decimal to seven segment display decoder is a huge waste of space. It becomes ridiculously huge when you get a lot of numbers programmed into it. I know and have been trying to understand the "Binary to Seven Segment Decoder", which completely "skips" a step, and is so much smaller. The guy in this video makes one, but does not really...explain how it works. I want to know HOW this thing works. What I do know is how a decimal to seven segment display decoder works, but the rest of it I can't seem to grasp.


So, if you know how this thing works, please do me (and maybe a lot of others) a favor and explain it..
