The bell not getting detected by the observer if you punch it is actually logical: there is a nbt tag for 'powered', what the observer detects, but there is not a nbt tag like 'ringing' or something

Isnt that logical , because u interact and use the bell , basicly he is in a whole moveing and sound creating so that should be detected even by mobs....

if you want to be technical about it, it's not an nbt tag, it's a block state which is what the observer detects

Yea I guess you could put cakes on the list, but they're not very useful overall. They emit a signal that can only go down, which you have to change manually, and then replace when it hits zero, also manually. They can't be moved, so really they're just single source for a particular redstone signal, which you can get more accurately and reliably and easily from something like a lectern. They're unusual, but they're not unusually useful.

"Some of the new 1.5 additions"

[@victorboshnyak8518]

Dear Ilmango, Using the one-game-tick delay system shown at 6:04 in this video, I was able to *inject* sand into a sand column, from below. An observer pulse goes straight to the piston under the sand stack, but through the trapdoor-scaffold delay to the injecting piston, which is perpendicular to the sand stack and level with its bottom block. This gives the piston under the sand enough time to retract, but not enough for the sand it just pushed up to fall, allowing gravity affected blocks to be inserted into a stack of such blocks from the bottom up. This seemingly has immediate applications in sand-pusher contraptions, block magazines with sand displacement (for sand reloading) and may possibly permit novel construction methods for sand and gravel walls. ...Not sure if you were already aware of this being possible (I wasn't, and was amazed it actually worked!) - but either way, I was trying to get it to work last night, couldn't, then saw this video, decided to try it with the delay you showed, and then it just worked!!!

[@Hunnter2k3]

Probably better off using other crops for a game than the saplings. Well in saying that, you could use both for quicker and longer randomization. Equally if you want to remove all randomness and only make it pseudo random, you could use the dispenser + shulker system. At least then you can guarantee an outcome of some kind that you can use. Same reason gambling systems don't use pure randomness either since they can't guarantee an outcome, they pay good money for people to make incredibly difficult to crack pseudo-RNGs.

[@Kaitokid730]

Can also use redstone with shulkers to auto compact storage. for example. have a full shulker chest and empty shulker chest and a filling station per item you want to sort. You would dispense a shulker box and fill with desired item until full then break and place shulker into proper long term storage until player goes to withdraw that shulker box from bulk storage.

I think the Leaf block one is my favorite since being added, because the best way to understand it is like this. when the leaf blocks are by themselves, it's just a leaf block, but when a log touches it, the leaf becomes a tree leaf block. those 2 states are how the leaf block functions, because if you chop down a tree, every leaf block that wasn't placed will disintegrate if it can't detect any nearby log blocks,

A sapling giving you a truly random clock that's so cool

[@mofumofutenngoku]

This was a very enlightening video ilmango, thank you.

[@camilianSLC]

My favorite unusual redstone machine was the boat/pressure plate clock y'all made on the Skyblock server. Redstone without redstone is the best

[@jaymac1355]

Right, that melted my brain.. got some great tips ilmango,thanks

[@gianluigijequinto]

Ah yes, my favorite redstone component, villagers sleeping

Interestingly enough, bells are used a lot more in bedrock edition redstone because observers only detect updates when it's getting powered, allowing you to make a monostable circuit using only 2 blocks. Oh and they are also solid which is weird

[@vibaj16]

Bedrock edition redstone is weird in general: for example, when pistons are powered, redstone torched placed on them turn off, like what?

[@Benthehuman]

VIBaJ 16 It's actually surprisingly useful in redstone contraptions because you can also power the piston through a block and have the torch turn off. Oh a just so you know, it's called soft inversion.

That leaf update is crazy! I don’t think many people knew that at all including me! Have to put that to use!

[@fashnek]

Thanks for reminding me about all the weird primitives! I feel inspired to make something interesting.

[@godefroyrassel7825]

Man, I remember when you used the saplings for the floor of the Guardian farm perimeter. That was pretty awesome and well done

[@icebardago7173]

Mumbo: makes a 3x3 piston door w/o redstone dust. Ilmango: ha ha 4x4 pist'n dor wid liiivs.

Watching this gave me an idea, what if you could waterlog hoppers and if an upwards bubblestream went through them it would take items out of them and into the water? it would be a much more friendly way to make an item elevator. And idealy it would be less laggy

[@MichaelVezie]

I made a bamboo farm with an observer way at the top that activates a dispenser with a water bucket in a channel. Another observer at the bottom detects the water and activates a piston to break the bamboo. Gets two pulses (one when the bamboo grows and water is placed, and one when the bamboo breaks and water is removed). That way any lingering bamboo gets pushed out of the way of the plant. But I like the idea of using the stone wall.

ilmango your videos are so addicting keep it up bro

[@YounesLayachi]

I was wishing for a video like this , thanks ilmango :D
