Is AMETHYST Redstone Now? | Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23w12a

I'm much more excited for the new sign writing features than I expected

I'll be honest, I didn't think much of it until I got my hands on everything, and now I totally agree. It's surprisingly the snapshot's biggest game changer, more than dual sounds or even the new suspicious gravel deposits.

TIL that waterlogged sculk sensors become silent, but still function properly (apparently that had already been a thing but it was news to me) and that got me thinking, with this new amethyst mechanic, we could start seeing some really neat builds where amethyst sounds are just ambient everywhere. Imagine placing waterlogged sensors in the wall that are all hooked up to amethyst - and anytime a player does anything nearby, they all go off and start triggering each other. You'd get this super-cool crystal ambience.

right! and I'm super excited for the filtering ability now. Lots of potential.

Alright so vibration resonence is the signal being carried wirelessly. This signal remains the same as the one that started the chain. this makes it so you can make a walking detector from far away. the amethyst carries the signal with the same comparator output level to the next sculk sensor.

exactly, which is far better than using a piston.
