Redstone | Beginner Circuits

♪ (upbeat music) ♪

Hey guys, Surfboy20 here today.

We're back for a new video,

which is redstone circuit tips for you guys.

So, in case you are not
quite the redstone master,

here are a few circuits that will help you
get started in redstone.

So over here on the far right,

we have these logic gates,

and I will explain these
in further detail later.

Over here, we have the pulse modifiers.

And over here, we have
the redstone clocks.

So, now let's get into
each individual one,

and I'll show you how to build them
and how they work.

So let's get started with the clocks.

This clock is just a simple,
quick repeater clock.

It's nothing fancy,

it's been in the game
since repeaters were out,

and here's how you build it.

You place one repeater down right there,

and you place another repeater
down right there,

facing opposite from each other.

Then you place redstone dust here,
here, here, and here,

and a redstone torch
and break it really quickly right here.

So that creates the clock. Simple.

Now what this can be used for

is launching multiple
items out of dispensers

or stuff like that.

Now over here, this is a comparator clock.

Comparator clocks are really simple

and the fastest clock
you can build in Minecraft.

So this one's quite self-explanatory,

but I'll show you how to make it.

So right here you have your comparator.

Make sure to set it on subtract mode.

And then you can do that
by right-clicking.

And then you place redstone
here, here, and here, and that's it.

You can power it using either
a redstone block or a torch or a lever,

anything like that, and it'll start
making a quick pulse just like that one,

just a little bit faster.

Now over here, this is a really,
really simple one.

This is a hopper clock.

Now, a hopper clock just uses an item

flowing between two hoppers
facing into each other

and you take a comparator output of it,

and that will give you
a really long clock.

So let's go ahead
and grab one of these hoppers,

place one down here,

and in order to place a hopper
on another hopper,

hold down shift and right-click,

and it'll place that hopper
facing into this one.

Go ahead and break this one,

and shift, right-click on that one
so now they're facing into each other.

Then take your comparator

and set it on the floor
right in front of it.

And that'll be where
your output comes out.

You can put this on
this side, this side, this side,

this side, this side, or this side.

Any side that has a hopper.

So now you need to take one item
and place it in one of the hoppers

and it'll start your clock.

So those are the redstone clocks
I have prepared for you today.

Now let's take a look
at some of the pulse modifiers.

Okay, right here, this is
a pulse modifier number one.

This is a pulse extender.

So what a pulse extender does
is when you hit a button,

it extends the pulse
past when the button stop's pushed.

So, as you can see,

the pulse just gave out right there,

but the button has been unpressed
for a long time.

So these can be super useful
for hooking it up to clocks,

making clocks run longer,
and other cool stuff,

like keeping a door open for longer.

And it's really simple,

all these circuits I've made really simple
so it's easy to build.

So right here,
you can place one comparator,

and the other one
facing the other direction,

and redstone, redstone, redstone,

with a block, and then a button.

So as you can see,

it perfectly extends the signal
just like this one.

So now let's move on
to the pulse shortener.

Now this one is really cool
because, as you can see,

watch this redstone dust,

it'll give a really quick pulse,

almost not clearly seen,
but it really does.

So now I'm gonna show you
how to build this one.

Now this one's a little bit more tricky
because it has a piston,

so you're gonna need iron and slime
'cause it's a sticky piston.

So let's go ahead
and start placing down the blocks.

So you place down
your block with your button,

and then from that,

you take a repeater output
set on two ticks

with a piston right here,

so go ahead and break that block
and put a block in front of it,

and then right here is your redstone dust.
