Burnt Out Torch Replaces Observers | Let's Learn Redstone 14 | Minecraft Tutorial

[@RoundSeal]

I'm still catching up on this series, but I just wanted to give a big thank you! I wanted to make an effort to learn redstone and these have been so valuable, as someone without any knack for technical things. They're clear, not too long, and the examples you provide are great. Thanks so much for your work!

Yes! This is such a useful mechanic. Thanks for explaining why/how it works. I most recently came across this in SlackLizard's observerless bamboo farm, which has modules that can stack or be expanded as needed. Super flexible, and light on resources.

[@bitebaykon9948]

Another excellent explanation of redstone peculiarities. I've utilised this in a reasonably efficient bamboo farm. One block high, pistons set two blocks apart horizontally. Block on top of each piston with a torch and redstone dust on top. Then two more adjacent pistons between those blocks. Three more blocks placed horizontally, the middle one, above the torch. Plant bamboo canes. Repeat this three piston, one redstone torch and one redstone set up alongside many times. When one cane grows to a suitable height all three pistons fire breaking the cane. Not as efficient as an observer powered farm but cheaper on resources especially in the early game.

@@bitebaykon9948 Noice! Allot of people in my discord are doing that as wellll :DDDD make a monster of a bamboo farmmm >:DDD

[@DisasterReturns]

A simple way to understand this is that brunt out torches are kind so observer as they observe changes and give some signal strength to its above or side block. The difference is that redstone torch can power things by taking less space such as upward staircase shown in the video. I don't know much about redstone but this is all I got to tell. Nice tutorial btw

@@DisasterReturns Yusss, good explanation

[@DisasterReturns]

@OmLedu yea both have their own advantaged :D

[@oxohashoxo]

I'm confused by your skin ahahahaha ! Awesome man ! LOW TECH power !

[@theflameviper2154]

Whoa now THIS is interesting, I've never heard of using burnt torches for game updates

[@OmLedu]

Right! Super fancy! Everyone in my discord has been building their bamboo farms with it as of late haha I had never really put 2 & 2 together since it clocks rather than just activates, but really that doesn't negatively affect anything anyway >:DD

[@Acadewolf]

3:20 it's because redstone is calculated at the time of placing. It's not realtime like Java, which is why our redstone components are far less laggy

[@RedstoneWizard1983]

Keep in mind when using a torch burn out clock that you can only use one redstone torch unless you want to have a repeating clock. Two might not trigger it but three reading from the same source will. Very old rapid dispenser method for tree farms. To stop that just power the block.

[@OmLedu]

@@RedstoneWizard1983 Good point! Especially since they could share the same line if using more than 1. Definitely avoid that!

[@dougdupont6134]

Whoa this is really cool

[@OmLedu]

@@dougdupont6134 Right! Is super fancy

[@Nermal144]

This is really neat. I may be missing something simple. To limit loss of crops on a sugarcane farming your example, could you put the torch 4 blocks above ground (and above where the sugarcane is planted). So when the sugarcane grows to the full height of 3, the torch right above it is triggered?

[@bitebaykon9948]

Yes it will work but you will have to place a piston (to break the sugar cane when grown) one block above the planting height of the sugar cane then connect the redstone dust, triggering the redstone torch, to the piston (probably utilizing glass blocks to keep it compact). Use the water as a stream to harvest the broken canes.

[@OmLedu]

@@Nermal144 Yess, exactly as the other comment suggested

Yay. Jumping elephant head man.

Interesting! Thanks

[@barrettludwig4677]

Couple of notes: 1 sheep will eat grass with redstone dust on top of it.this can be used to compact the size of a burnout wool farm.although I must add that I didn't think about one torch being used for two modules. 2) for sugarcane and bamboo it has an advantage over observers because the piston will fire immediately once the crop is harvestable, as opposed to one after it becomes harvestable and therefore more efficient and removes the need to use mud or run hopper mc under the plants

[@RedDragon91]

I'm struggling to wrap my head around what you mean by the torch needs to be in the front for a bamboo or similar farm and I wondered if you would do a short tutorial on that?

[@alanandjess7516]

Brilliant

[@Adjum84]

I have a massive bamboo farm with the burnout torch method, it’s 3wide 5 high 2 deep (but once you add collection and glass/wall to stop it going too far it’s 4 deep)

[@Adjum84]

Back wall is 3wide by 2 high of any building block then 3rd row high from left to right place building block piston building block 4th row piston building block piston and then place a piece of redstone dust on the middle building block.

[@Adjum84]

For the front part place 3 grass in front of bottom row of building blocks then plant your bamboo, on the middle building block you placed the dust on top place a redstone torch and then same level of the dust place either 3 building blocks above where the bamboo grows if you’re only doing 1 level but if you want to stack them you place grass and it becomes the next planting level, repeat back part minus the very bottom row of billing blocs that would be behind the grass

[@Adjum84]

Or have a look at Slack Lizard’s video he done a few months back, you can also do this with sugarcane if you use water to catch and move it or if only doing 1 level you can replace bottom row of building blocks with water

[@BeerBelliedBear]

Interesting, I forgot burnt out torches are a thing. If you can afford the observers, aren't they more lag-friendly, sending only one signal instead of the several signals sent as the torch burns back out?

[@velrzvertigo8215]

i wonder if we could use this mechanic to activate farms upon world load?
