Accessing the True potential of Rails

[@tzovgo]

Another cool thing is that rails don't cause lighting updates, so rail lines are much less laggy than redstone lines at large scales!

[@enkvadrat_]

They also cause less updates, redstone dust causes several hundred unnecessary updates

[@herkules593]

Yeah redstone goes from its power level down to 0 incrementally when turned off which is really inefficient

[@otter7194]

And it's also pretty cool that mobs can't pathfind across rails

[@tsquitz]

@@herkules593 ...no it doesn't?

[@lollopollqo2240]

redstone wire does not cause light updates (which would not lag the game anyway as of 1.20)

[@topbrasshimself5606]

i love railing

I’m not big into redstone, nor do I know much about it, but this was so intriguing. I’m amazed by your knowledge of these machines. Awesome video, you’ve gained a subscriber!

[@squibble111]

Glad you enjoy my videos. I've been trying to expand my content so it appeals to people who don't know as much about redstone, so thanks for the support!

[@Chocolatepenguin]

Totally, this video have made me want to try to create my own components in game, could be fun to mess around with some redstone again!

[@davidwoek3041]

Yeah! Same

[@DemonSeedXP]

That was easily the best demo I've seen showing the true power of the rail. I even learned a new trick, with that self resetting instant line! Love it. Thanks for sharing, gained another sub.

[@squibble111]

Thanks! Keep in mind though, although I gave the basics for how instant rail wire works, its important to understand that the gaps between observers are VERY specific (9 rails between initial redstone block and 7 rails between observers).

[@gaindalfthewhey5845]

@@squibble111 thanks, I was literally looking for this comment.

[@LostEchoGamer]

All those times I've struggled with parallel redstone designs, digging down and under each other, I never thought of using rails. Interesting 👍

[@infrdarkfire]

For the quirks section 6:45 about it calling the end of the line and working backwards. That's because it's more than likely doing a recursive call and passing the buck until it can't find or ask another rail to activate, and then the recursion unwinds. So it's most likely a feature from coding practices

[@Jakob-ct5nm]

actually, as far as i am aware this was intentionally introduced in order to "fix" the large pre-1.20 update suppressors using rails

[@designconker4796]

I really love redstone. But all I really know about rails is that they can instantly power long distances. This video just blew open a ton of uses for me. I appreciate you making it. You earned a subscriber.

[@jojofox29]

I always thought slime blocks had a great potential for redstone signals but it meant having to encase everything in unmoveable blocks then I saw this video. Keep up the good work!!

[@KWAKZ5]

My favorite redstone components are leaves

[@AdamSchadow]

Pistons and moving blocks are really laggy.

[@HugoBDesigner]

I'm honestly perplexed that rails aren't used more often in redstone, given what you've shown. I see people do all sorts of janky redstone for long distance activation, or activating multiple things in order, and it's always just a bunch of redstone repeaters and comparators and pistons, but never rails. This was a great video, keep up the amazing work!

[@drinkinclear3100]

For years now redstone has been the single thing that has intrigued me about Minecraft. Never even thought about using rails in this way. Great work.

[@whitefang1657]

I've always wondered how rails achieved instant long distance communication. Great explaination!

[@BlueBeluga_]

its nice to hear the slimerancher music in the backround :D

[@ReiCaixa]

Honestly, Redstone is an art. I never imagined the use of Rails to send direct signals that don't interact with the block next to it. I rarely build with Redstone but when I do I like to try to break my head to do what I want, so this could be useful someday.

[@declanrobinson6005]

I love that instant redstone line, so much nicer than older style jank lines using pistons. I must say though I died a little inside seeing someone so good at the game doing redstone in survival on stone and cobblestone underground.

[@kairon156]

Thanks for making this video. I've often suspected rails had a deeper use for redstone but I can barely make 1x2 piston doors myself. or auto furnaces which are even easier to understand.

[@adityabadukale6353]

Haven’t watched full video, but man rails are a lifesaver, really fun to work with, very predictable update order, binary code contraption, instant wire can just go onnn

[@ecys]

Redstonology - I can actually study this.

[@darcycardinal6275]

This guy is going to blow up on YT soon! I’m actually amazed at this tutorial, I never was into red stone before, but this tut is getting me curious for sure.

[@faaen]

I really love the way you talk. You never stutter or use filling words.

[@selectthedead]

For someone into controls, this is absolutly awesome. Please show more detailed applications of rails

[@squibble111]

A lot of my contraptions use them, so you'll definitely see more in the future

[@sorensouthard927]

Crazy how these tons of weird interactions that seem almost entirely unintentional gives something like rails tons of utility.

[@colbertlum]

thank you for descript potential of rails. I did understand a lot how that complex machine line to line going on. also instant far distance signal is AMAZING for me. thanks a lot!

[@sparking023]

Another amazing redstone engineering feature that I most likely will never use myself but I'm glad I can learn it from such a cool video

I have never thought of using rails as a means of carrying ultra compact redstone signals before

[@jake3111]

I love these explanation videos. I never use restone in my world but I love hearing about it and understanding it

Awesome video, very interesting implications of these features that I had never thought to use before

Huge respect that you used the Slime Rancher theme song in the background

[@doveShampoo1111]

schools need to use minecraft redstone to explain real-world electricity

[@shennyboi110]

Thanks for making this- such an intriguing video! I’m definitely going to improvement some of these features in my future builds

[@sidumonto]

I found this channel a couple days ago, and im loving the content so much. I've always liked redstone (even tho im not nearly as good), and i can't stop watching these vids, goota love it!

[@jj2201]

this makes me wonder what other uses are out there for non-redstone blocks... awesome video :)

[@sequence0121]

You don't know how many times I could have used this information this is extremely helpful

Interesting! It's a bit like the rail is an insulated wire.

[@ultrio325]

My mind was intrigued in the rails as wire part. My mind was blown in the psuedopowered rails part. My mind was nuked in the subframe activation order part.

[@TheeSlickShady_Dave_K]

Reasons why Squibble is better than Mumbo Jumbo: 1. Squibble has the amazing ability to EXPLAIN how his contraptions work At the end of a Squibble video, You will have either: 1. Learned something new, or 2. Gained a better understanding of how redstone components work This is the greatest channel regarding redstone, imo Thank you thank you 🏆🏆🏆

[@Consul99]

Wow I i never knew railing was so powerful. That instant transmission is epic.

[@raph5402]

I never thought about using them for wiring, Amazing

[@Blarpity]

idk if this was mentioned, but rails are also very useful for very large builds. This is because it's actually very lag friendly. Redstone in large amounts becomes laggy because it has 16 different states, with different data outputs depending on it. Furthermore, it can curve and connect in every direction, further adding to potential lag. However, rails only have 2 block states, on and off, with only two outputs that only last for 1 tick. This makes rails preferable over redstone when it comes to building large machines, especially those reaching mega-build level. However for the lag to be noticeable you have to have a TON of redstone machinery so I wouldn't worry about it too much lol

[@LostEchoGamer]

Subbed my man. Best of luck!

This and your newest video rly helped me to understand Redstone a little more. I mostly play on Bedrock but I still find this Java Redstone to be very interesting. Good luck on the channel

You should make a series of educational videos for novices to learn this stuff. Like build machine 1, then you have homework to build machine 2. etc

[@AyyanBinMoazzam]

Rails to me as a redstoner are best redstone component. I recently designed a Giant spruce tree farm which works at 6mspt maxing out at 230.4k logs per hour and uses and 33 redstone dust (one for the bottom section dropper and 4x8 the eight blast chambers). It's a 16 GT farm though. And in fact the entire wiring in my farms is dustless since it uses rail lines with observers and buds.

Time to send feedback to Mojang: Update comparators (and probably also repeators) to receive redstone signals from the ends of powerable rails.

[@squibble111]

I wonder how a change like that would actually change the redstone environment (since a repeater is effectively an observer that doesnt stay on.)

[@dABiGfATLol]

pls show more complex rail tricks in depth pls :D like how would you make an instant.item.elevator over long distances? whatabout up or down?

[@squibble111]

in actuality? you can accelerate any item straight downwards using a giant tower of walls (ie cobblestone wall) and pull observers from them. Updating the top, causes all of the walls to successively change shape, from top to bottom, accelerating the item down.
