Considering it's not real and you can generate fictional matter out of nothing? No, you never run out of a concept. Unless all the people that have that concept in their minds die. Hmm... time to go to work. That's how annoying you are.
Omg so did I. I was like: "A Minecraft world takes more space fully loaded than most pcs can handle so how would you remove all redstone?". Then I realised the true context of the video.
For the most optimal farm things I like to cite Sid Meier: "'Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game" which is pretty applicable to Redstone, for many people the creative part got lost into the most optimized one, no more searching yourself, trial and error to make what you want work but just doing the same exact thing than others
@@nerd_nato564Yeah I agree to a degree, but my point was more on the side that we don't see much (new) MC game anymore. Im' talking about game like Towers, Misssile war, etc. The datapacks are very useful, so that's why I don't get the disappearance of those
making decorative redstone is great as it not only has room for solving technical challenges, but also shows the creativity of each redstoner to make satisfying builds!
great video! there r so many ppl forget “max output/min time” isnt the only style players like :D low-resource & easy-build redstone is vital for (most?) players imo
7:30 love to see that someone still remembers cubehamster. I could and still cannot believe how he made those giant moving objects all those years ago. He is truly inspirational.
Cubehamster wasn't a TH-camr who made redstone, Cubehamster was a redstoner who made TH-cam. Sometimes it is a combination, but the more you are of the latter, the better the redstone.
I like that you touched on the Skulk sensor. For years people were saying wireless redstone and then it happened but don’t really see any farms with it
I used sculk sensors to make undetectable clocks on a server that brought in an anti redstone clock plugin. Also for a secret door between my base and a public area.
Sorry this video took way longer than usual, I just switched editing software and it took me a while to fully learn it, but I should be back to usual pace now (and the video quality will have gone up a bit as you can see from some of the fancy animations in this video :P)
Something I miss about older redstone content on TH-cam was how needless it all was. I miss having people build selector panels and security systems and redstone houses because even though a farm is useful, novelty builds always just bring a smile to my face and would offer up new opportunities for invention

Logical redstone is far from its limits i think. The main limitation right now is speed and performance in really big and complex builds. So i think logical redstone will keep developing as irl computers get better (which can also help with the speed issue if you use mods that can speed up the game)
With the mods Redstone Pen and Gauges and Switches, much easier to make complex systems in a fraction of the space when you can place redstone on any face of a block with isolated tracks.
The day Mojang adds redstone N:1 lookup tables and then someone makes a program that can synthesize and place&route Verilog into Minecraft is the day redstone gets completed
The speed of IRL computers isn't the bottleneck. The bottleneck is the coding of the game itself; how redstone works. Whether you run it on a Raspberry Pi or a supercomputer, the game's limited to the blocks available and 20 ticks per second, no matter what. You can easily demonstrate the fact that the game can run faster even on rudimentary hardware by simply increasing the tick rate with carpet mod.
This hits a certain note for me. I’ve been building a computer in survival for about ten years now. Just the respect you show for people who love exploring the possibilities simply because they can, really felt nice.

For the farming side, i think it's notable to mention ianxofour. He's been at the forefront of extremely innovative and practical builds for survival minecraft. And i want to see more farms of that style
Ian has taken many farms that used to be complicated and tome consuming (primarily wither skeleton, guardian and tree farms), and made versions that are simple while also getting the best rates possible. He's been a real game changer.
Thanks a lot for the shoutout at 7:34 I was not expecting it! And I agree with the fact that slimestone is an area where a lot of things are still improving especially for survival uses
The part where it hits the most true for me was: 10:26 "Simply designing something and getting it to work all by yourself is the most fun part of Redstone, and it's very satisfying, even if it's already been done before." This tbh. Whenever i make my take on some contraptions, i used to look up TH-cam tutorials of the same concept to obsessively see if my design is smaller or costed less materials, to spot even 1 block of difference, but then i started to do it less, because designing something myself and making it work still feels rewarding. I still watched other people's concepts though, of course
10:25 And there it is, the one and only reason I enjoy working with redstone. Designing things in creative, deconstructing someone else's creation and learning how it works, or simply experimenting through trial and error is how I'm able to create redstone systems on the fly in survival. I enjoy the problem solving aspect, and it goes as far back as creating insanely complex logic gate systems in Little Big Planet 2 on the PS3. I may use a lot of "2012 redstone" still, but I am aware of most of the "advanced" techs and use them whenever possible... But something about just figuring out how to do something brings me great satisfaction.
that's why I really like watching videos from the create mod, because people don't make the same farms, they just use the same intuitive mechanics and design it themselves
I always like to make my own designs for fun i don’t care about how fast or small it is i love inventing my own way and the feeling you get when it finally works is priceless
Imma comment on your last statement of your video: So I’ve been a Redstoner for about 8-9 years now. And I never really wanted to go out of my way to learn more. I was into map making a lot and only had my things that needed to work (command blocks, some filter systems, binary counters etc etc) and im a somewhat new subscriber of yours and your videos really inspired me to get into door making and slimestone. While I’m still like quite far away from being a slimestoner, I designed my first 3x3 in 4 days and hey, it’s 1 block wide and 12 blocks tall. I think that’s fine (not gonna stay like that still playing around and stuff). And honestly I think so too. I mean most people don’t really want to get into super high spec Redstone. Mainly for 2 reasons (obviously there are way more but i will mention them because you didn’t xD ): 1.) it’s very competitive, so being ranked first in a category will mean that people will want to try and get that spot. So you yourself have to stay on edge 2.) it takes incredible skill to get to that point and if you reach it, you could also get a problem with your hardware.
This was such an interesting opportunity to make a video about this topic that I didn’t even realise that I’d already watched it a few months ago until I finished it
The Create mod is the best successor to Redstone, imo. But then again, at various points in time, I might've said the same thing about BuildCraft or Project Red.
A logic gate block would tremendously help make complex builds both smaller and faster to run. You can already make logic gates but they require multiple blocks. Cross connecting wires (4 inputs, which are then paired together with a switch to select the pairs: 12-34, 13-24 and 14-23) would also do a lot for miniaturization and slightly improve the speed too. Then we have flipflops and randomizers that can already be done with multiple blocks but could turned into official blocks to make smaller circuits that run faster and generate less lag. Redstone is already turing complete as it is, now it needs optimization via new blocks that perform more complex tasks by themselves.
one of my favourite parts of redstone is seeing a build on youtube and trying to build it myself. yes you can copy it block for block, but i find it fun actually figuring out how and why it works. if i really can’t figure it out yes i’ll watch a video and copy but it’s the trying part that i enjoy.
On the part about having moving tile entities, if they did that and wanted to keep it as nondestructive as possible to redstone, they could make an NBT tag that could be toggled some how, with all preexisting tile entities having the toggle be switched to on. How you would toggle the immovable state would be difficult to speculate on, perhaps a new item that would be used on tile entities to make them immovable, maybe something like obsidian dust which could then be removed with a sneak click with the new brush
I think two things that would really revive redstone innovation are a block that can automatically place blocks, and more functionality for dispensers. For the dispensers, it would be really beneficial for them to be able to plant crops, nether wart, saplings, propagules, fungi, and mushrooms, and be able to milk cows. And automatic block placement would be the craziest thing to ever happen to Minecraft, especially when combined with the crafter. Those two would literally make potential redstone innovation INFINITE. Imagine just building farms to make farms that build more of those farms… so many possibilities with just one block
Idea: You can choose if the piston can move chests, hoppers and other blocks, or if you dont want it you can have it as it was. Edit thanks for the likes
the way this has worked with every other minecraft feature is: if you want to play without it, play an older version (or play modded). don't see why movable tile entities are special
@@The_undefeated_one That'd be a really weird and unlikely mechanic though, because as far as my knowledge goes, no other redstone system works like this, they're always unchangeable, they either work or don't, no customization. So i guess a better and more likely solution is to add a new block or change an existing one to have a similar functionality.
I really wish Mojang added in the copper golem, it was honestly the biggest missed opportunity for redstone engineering ever. Just imagine the kind of automation we could’ve had had there been copper golems and a means to derust them. Automated redstone farms are already crazy, imagine how crazy fully automated redstone with copper golems could’ve been. Imagine fully programmable copper golems that you the player could set a certain perimeter, set a resource for them to mine, and where to go when their inventory is full or when they’re about to rust and stop working and they will mine as much as they can and bring it back to a resource collection area and fully rust where they can be derusted and the process can repeat. Mining is a completely untapped field by redstone engineers as there currently is no way to automate it and as such it has to be done manually by the player.
after switching most of my redstone to beta 1.7.3, its a whole lot easier coming up with builds no one else. lots of builds unique to that version too. highly recommend seeing what your capable of with such limited components, great fun! maybe i'll share sometime :)
I've never seen a better Minecraft video essay. This is clear and concise and showed me things I never thought I would be interested in. Props to you, mister Purplers!👍
We need one block added to the game, the Flotator which was introduced in the poisonous potato update and can push anything in a 32x32 area. If mojang add this,we can make even simpler flying machines
I consider factions cannoning, which only in the last 2 years has been moving on from 1.8.9, and there the incentive to make new things is decided by the meta on factions servers. If it ever gets stale, a server can just implement a new feature that needs a different way of thinking and people will get back to making new cannons, it's almost like they're actually useful. I think redstone doors don't have that type of need (a gamemode relying on improvements made to designs) which does lead to hitting hard limits
"Will we ever run out of redstone"? Nope. Witches drop it and Clerics trade it, and even without those renewable sources the world is essentially infinite if you just wanna mine the stuff :) (/j, I know the video is about contraption innovation)
Your point about making redstone more accessible for the average player is something ive thought about for years. Ive been playing MC for a decade, and i still struggle a lot with redstone. The most ill do in a solo survival world is like,,, basic hopper to chests/furnaces, minecarts distributing coal or items to furnaces, and an auto sugarcane and auto cactus farm. Its not that i havent tried. But its just so complicated because i play survival, because i play solo, and because of the level of skill and background knowledge you need to build things like auto sorters (something id love to build but have failed or struggled with even with tutorials). If the community could make redstone more accessible and easier to understand for the average player, it would see a surge of new redstoners, which may lead to new perspectives and ideas.
Honestly probably the most mindboggling redstone I have seen in recent times is when people figured out how to make actual wireless redstone by manipulating itemdrops within the same tick
We've run out of ideas right now. We've made everything we can. And we've made it the best we can. We need something... new. Somethings different. It's happened before. Honeyblocks were a game changer for flying machines. Maybe it'll happen again.
I wish there were more fun and decorative things to do with redstone for casual survival players. I always wanted to build a retractable bridge and would try designing one even on paper but never could figure one out. The type of contraptions average players want to do with redstone either aren't possible or are beyond their reach either by capability, time commitment, making room for it, or the resources needed.
Look at mods. There are literally thousands of different vanilla style blocks and systems mojang could implement. Also obligatory “the farm creators yearn for factorio”
i think a great example of how much we mastered redstone is that someone used redstone to make a playable instance of minecraft java edition, on their java world
As someone who enjoys modded mc, redstone can become very different with the right mods. It can honestly becomes a fresh new experience while still staying true to what restone-ing is at it's core. So I personally believe that there are always some very creative mods to ensure we never run out of redstone.
i dont understand a single thing about redstone but when i was able to make the traditional sugarcane farm (observer/piston combo) after following a tutorial it made me so happy i dont think ill ever understand it i still made a block move

Imma comment on your last statement of your video:
So I’ve been a Redstoner for about 8-9 years now. And I never really wanted to go out of my way to learn more. I was into map making a lot and only had my things that needed to work (command blocks, some filter systems, binary counters etc etc) and im a somewhat new subscriber of yours and your videos really inspired me to get into door making and slimestone. While I’m still like quite far away from being a slimestoner, I designed my first 3x3 in 4 days and hey, it’s 1 block wide and 12 blocks tall. I think that’s fine (not gonna stay like that still playing around and stuff). And honestly I think so too. I mean most people don’t really want to get into super high spec Redstone. Mainly for 2 reasons (obviously there are way more but i will mention them because you didn’t xD ):
1.) it’s very competitive, so being ranked first in a category will mean that people will want to try and get that spot. So you yourself have to stay on edge
2.) it takes incredible skill to get to that point and if you reach it, you could also get a problem with your hardware.
This was such an interesting opportunity to make a video about this topic that I didn’t even realise that I’d already watched it a few months ago until I finished it
Was not expecting the D2 joke but I greatly appreciate it lmao.
The Create mod is the best successor to Redstone, imo. But then again, at various points in time, I might've said the same thing about BuildCraft or Project Red.
I feel like there's a lot of potential for the sculk sensors, but they're just quirky enough that most people don't want to bother trying to use them.
A logic gate block would tremendously help make complex builds both smaller and faster to run. You can already make logic gates but they require multiple blocks.
Cross connecting wires (4 inputs, which are then paired together with a switch to select the pairs: 12-34, 13-24 and 14-23) would also do a lot for miniaturization and slightly improve the speed too.
Then we have flipflops and randomizers that can already be done with multiple blocks but could turned into official blocks to make smaller circuits that run faster and generate less lag.
Redstone is already turing complete as it is, now it needs optimization via new blocks that perform more complex tasks by themselves.
one of my favourite parts of redstone is seeing a build on youtube and trying to build it myself. yes you can copy it block for block, but i find it fun actually figuring out how and why it works. if i really can’t figure it out yes i’ll watch a video and copy but it’s the trying part that i enjoy.
I believe copper pipes may be game changing to Minecraft.
We have hoppers tho.
Who else thought this video would be about how long it would take to mine all the redstone in a MC world?

Explain?
What the first reply said- what do you mean???

On the part about having moving tile entities, if they did that and wanted to keep it as nondestructive as possible to redstone, they could make an NBT tag that could be toggled some how, with all preexisting tile entities having the toggle be switched to on. How you would toggle the immovable state would be difficult to speculate on, perhaps a new item that would be used on tile entities to make them immovable, maybe something like obsidian dust which could then be removed with a sneak click with the new brush
I think two things that would really revive redstone innovation are a block that can automatically place blocks, and more functionality for dispensers. For the dispensers, it would be really beneficial for them to be able to plant crops, nether wart, saplings, propagules, fungi, and mushrooms, and be able to milk cows. And automatic block placement would be the craziest thing to ever happen to Minecraft, especially when combined with the crafter. Those two would literally make potential redstone innovation INFINITE. Imagine just building farms to make farms that build more of those farms… so many possibilities with just one block
Idea: You can choose if the piston can move chests, hoppers and other blocks, or if you dont want it you can have it as it was.
Edit thanks for the likes
the way this has worked with every other minecraft feature is: if you want to play without it, play an older version (or play modded). don't see why movable tile entities are special
make a gamerule

That'd be a really weird and unlikely mechanic though, because as far as my knowledge goes, no other redstone system works like this, they're always unchangeable, they either work or don't, no customization.
So i guess a better and more likely solution is to add a new block or change an existing one to have a similar functionality.
The self glazing on this vid is crazy

I really wish Mojang added in the copper golem, it was honestly the biggest missed opportunity for redstone engineering ever. Just imagine the kind of automation we could’ve had had there been copper golems and a means to derust them. Automated redstone farms are already crazy, imagine how crazy fully automated redstone with copper golems could’ve been. Imagine fully programmable copper golems that you the player could set a certain perimeter, set a resource for them to mine, and where to go when their inventory is full or when they’re about to rust and stop working and they will mine as much as they can and bring it back to a resource collection area and fully rust where they can be derusted and the process can repeat. Mining is a completely untapped field by redstone engineers as there currently is no way to automate it and as such it has to be done manually by the player.
after switching most of my redstone to beta 1.7.3, its a whole lot easier coming up with builds no one else. lots of builds unique to that version too. highly recommend seeing what your capable of with such limited components, great fun! maybe i'll share sometime :)
Oh, man you could've told me earlier, I just dumped 3 tons of redstone into the ocean.
Lol
i would love to see Minecraft add somethings like better hoppers, known as pipes
Dispensers can be used that way
@@KidPrarchord95 yeah but they require complicated redstone
Water bro, just add ice and you've got a cheap long distance item transfer
@getaround1276 I actually didn't know that, though using pipes would be easier.
here after mojang announced auto crafting o.O awaiting redstone revolution
I've never seen a better Minecraft video essay. This is clear and concise and showed me things I never thought I would be interested in. Props to you, mister Purplers!👍
We need one block added to the game, the Flotator which was introduced in the poisonous potato update and can push anything in a 32x32 area. If mojang add this,we can make even simpler flying machines
I consider factions cannoning, which only in the last 2 years has been moving on from 1.8.9, and there the incentive to make new things is decided by the meta on factions servers. If it ever gets stale, a server can just implement a new feature that needs a different way of thinking and people will get back to making new cannons, it's almost like they're actually useful. I think redstone doors don't have that type of need (a gamemode relying on improvements made to designs) which does lead to hitting hard limits
I like this was posted a month before the crafter which made a industrial revolution
I thought this would be a video about what it would take to extract all the redstone from a Minecraft world
same
"Will we ever run out of redstone"? Nope. Witches drop it and Clerics trade it, and even without those renewable sources the world is essentially infinite if you just wanna mine the stuff :)
(/j, I know the video is about contraption innovation)
You put all the stuff you could want to know from this video into your description. I love you for that, so few people actually do that.

Yeah but bedrock redstone is also a shit

Exactly bro😭
Your video is correct. Crafter abd copper bulb have blown up redstone again
Your point about making redstone more accessible for the average player is something ive thought about for years. Ive been playing MC for a decade, and i still struggle a lot with redstone. The most ill do in a solo survival world is like,,, basic hopper to chests/furnaces, minecarts distributing coal or items to furnaces, and an auto sugarcane and auto cactus farm. Its not that i havent tried. But its just so complicated because i play survival, because i play solo, and because of the level of skill and background knowledge you need to build things like auto sorters (something id love to build but have failed or struggled with even with tutorials). If the community could make redstone more accessible and easier to understand for the average player, it would see a surge of new redstoners, which may lead to new perspectives and ideas.
Honestly probably the most mindboggling redstone I have seen in recent times is when people figured out how to make actual wireless redstone by manipulating itemdrops within the same tick
If you want a place to branch out, the Create mod is the place that is still really early in its existence.
2 months after: Autocrafter and Copflop
New era has started
1:31 god this reminds me how much my wallet hurts cause of bungie
i thought this video was about the amount of redstone you can get in a minecraft world
9:19 i've been trying to make mechanisms with that block and its so cool
7:25 Slimestone?
Yes slimestone deals with redstone that moves, typically flying machines
redstone is a good example for,
how sandboxy minecraft truly is
"things can easily change in a future version if the right block was added" - queue the autocrafter intro theme
We've run out of ideas right now. We've made everything we can. And we've made it the best we can.
We need something... new. Somethings different.
It's happened before. Honeyblocks were a game changer for flying machines.
Maybe it'll happen again.
And then they just added the Crafter so everything is completely different.
I hope this video ages like milk
2:13 Fr
Is this a bad thing?
I wish there were more fun and decorative things to do with redstone for casual survival players. I always wanted to build a retractable bridge and would try designing one even on paper but never could figure one out. The type of contraptions average players want to do with redstone either aren't possible or are beyond their reach either by capability, time commitment, making room for it, or the resources needed.
Look at mods. There are literally thousands of different vanilla style blocks and systems mojang could implement. Also obligatory “the farm creators yearn for factorio”
i think a great example of how much we mastered redstone is that someone used redstone to make a playable instance of minecraft java edition, on their java world
my whole life i didnt know mushrooms had light levels

I thought this was a joke video using redstone to represent a real life issue
As someone who enjoys modded mc, redstone can become very different with the right mods. It can honestly becomes a fresh new experience while still staying true to what restone-ing is at it's core. So I personally believe that there are always some very creative mods to ensure we never run out of redstone.
why did i think the title was referring to the fact that we will run out of traditional electricity one day
Auto crafter and copper bulb joined t he game
4:50 WHAT?!
7:47 I swear the Chinese are always just better than everyone else 💀
Redstone will never run out last update we got the skulk sensor and look what we’re getting now, an auto crafter? Yes please!
Satisfying and well put together video good sir. Nice work.

Block entities are moveible in real minecraft
Me watching this when an autocrafter was announced.
Redstone truly hasn't gone the farthest it can. My items still get stuck on top of the hopper in my sorting system with no way to fix it
i dont understand a single thing about redstone but when i was able to make the traditional sugarcane farm (observer/piston combo) after following a tutorial it made me so happy i dont think ill ever understand it i still made a block move
