Why did I never think of that... *facepalm*
Well still, I don't understand why they make it so difficult to power them directly. It still takes more space to indirectly power them like that.
Power them the same way you power a row of pistons and it should be fine shouldn't it?
Well, if you want them all to spit out the same thing at the same time, sure. But if you want 2 dispensers right next to eachother to spit something different, it won't work. Because redstone repeaters can power through dispensers, as well as power the one it's directly in contact with. Whereas, pistons are considered "transparent" and if you send power to a piston, it won't power through it, it only powers the one it's in contact with. Watch what happens if you put 3 dispensers in a row and have a redstone repeater going to the middle one. All 3 of them will get powered. So, since they're not transparent, it makes it impossible to put two dispensers right next to eachother and have them dispense two different items separately.
So, I don't know if anyone has actually discovered this before me. I'd imagine someone has. But I just thought I'd share this with you guys because I want it to be a more well known issue, it really is a pain in the ass the way they coded it.
This is basically my explanation of it.
In short, if dispensers were transparent blocks, they would be MUCH easier to use and handle. But for some reason they are "solid" blocks. I don't know if there is a purpose for making them solid, if so let me know.
I have a new idea. Why don't you make a window shutter type system? Everyone is doing redstone lighting with torches/glowstone etc. , but what about hitting a switch and stone blocks become removed, then become exchanged by glass (windows) all around the perimeter of a room...
Some challenges....
1. 3 of the 4 walls of the room must have direct outdoor light exposure, if you can do 4 then great.
2. a 1x1 window is nice and all, but I would like to see 2x2 sized
3. nothing exposed.
4. 2 windows per wall (6 total) you can alternate 1x1 and 2x2 sizes on each wall if you want
5. I would be really thrilled if you figured out how to make this work automatically as the sun rises (i believe there is one way)

Well, I know how to do number 5 already, haha. But I like this idea. I will definitely put some time into trying to make this. It's going to be a pain to figure out how to do this in a "normal" house though, considering most walls are only one wide
Your avatar and post counter scary me...
Ehm... Build a lighthouse or a Ghost/scary house and obviously a cool minigame with points counter! Like the one that guy did about shooting chickens with snowballs to prevent them from dieing
Was too lazy to check ur youtube,but heres a few ideas:
If u have the skill,build a redstone computer and/or rig to run a game of some type.
Well obviously u would need a screen for that so perhaps make one?
Some sort of an adder or calculator.
Maybe a lighthouse with a rotating light? Ive seen many designs but they all kinda suck.
Make a button-operated door with password and a f*cking cool opening mechanism for that
Well for the computer and the calculator... I could probably eventually figure out how to do but I don't want to do something THAT big, rather, something practical and I may try the last two though.
I haven't really worked on anything at all lately with redstone, other than an I'm working on, which is still a WIP. But I kind of want to start doing things again with redstone. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to make?
Also, preferably tell new ideas. If you want an idea of what I've already done, click this. It's a link to my youtube tutorials playlist. I don't mean to advertise my videos, but that's just the easiest way to show most of the concepts I've already done.
Yeah, let's whitewash over hundreds of years of black oppression so white people don't have to feel guilty anymore. Great job!
Why should we feel guilty for something we didn't do?
Likewise, why should black people be pissed about slavery when they weren't even slaves themselves?
I'm not saying to forget history, but really we should try to forget black oppression. Cause y'know what? That's holding back blacks too. There are tons of racists still out there, and if we could just forget history none of them would exist (as in, none of the racists would exist) and blacks would be seen as just the same as whites and we could actually move forward in equality, rather than having quite a large majority of people who judge people by their skin color.
The N word is obviously more offensive.
But I really think it shouldn't be. Because everytime that word comes up, it reminds us of slavery and ultimately reminds white people that our ancestors were dicks. It keeps guilt in modern day white people (as in, non-slave owners) and makes black people more aggressive. We should unlink that word from its historical background, really.
Is anyone else getting this problem? Everytime I post a video, it disappears. I haven't been able to post one in ages now. It's not like it says it was denied or anything, I just check up on my videos and the one that was pending moderation is completely gone.
I would think maybe they deleted it because it wasn't "good enough" or something... but I've seen some really crappy videos on here so that's hard for me to believe.
Does anyone know what's going on? This has been happening pretty much since the videos system was added. I usually have to resubmit it about 3 times before it actually works.
What? I clicked it and it linked to my profile and I was like DAFUQ GRAVCAT WHY U LOOK ME UP. But then everyone said the link was messed up.. so yeah... rofl.

Muhuhaha! They should scare you!
But I like those ideas, I may try a few.

Lol. I think that was the joke. It just links to your page. I clicked it and it linked to mine.
Me too...me too....

Yeah. I know how to do it, but with the way I have in mind it makes it much more bulky so I have to think of something new, haha.
Thanks
