We Made the BEST Music Machine in Minecraft

This was a 6 month long collaborative project between myself and mooncatcher, culminating in one of the most satisfying redstone builds I have ever been a part of.

Hope you enjoyed the video! Quick note about the Github code: Depending on your experience with Python and your technical know-how, you may or may not run into issues, especially when it comes to installing Python. The README should guide you through the process, but it is not meant to be a full how-to on installing Python, though I tried to be detailed. So if you run into issues, I'm really sorry, but I won't be providing tech support in the comments. I simply don't have the bandwidth to answer hundreds if not thousands of questions, and if I answer a few, it's only fair that I answer everyone. So if you run into problems, please look for a resolution online - I promise you will find something, but it will likely take some effort. That said, I hope you all get to enjoy the Music Machine to its fullest! It's quite a magical experience and we're really proud of what we've put together. ♥

Ah yes debugging, the most infuriating part of redstone design, taking 70% of the design time and 110% of your sanity

[@Yorick257]

Honestly, it's the same for any digital/analog electronics project. Programming is a bit better on this part though but can be just as frustrating

[@EEEEEEEE]

E‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

[@user-wo5rc5xo9d]

@@Yorick257 a bit better ? Haha haha ah... It depends really on the project but there are some projects which can lead to demonic sessions on debugging... the worst part is when you can't understand why it happens or when you have hard time debugging since it's hard to get actual informations. For example I once used js web scrapping to scrap a piece of data ona website, it worked, and then i decided to loop it over 100 times to get 100 pieces of data, but this time it didn't worked. Those kind of problems are horrible because you can't simplify it to debug it since the simplified version worked fine and trying to debugging on a 100 times loop is just sheer nightmare. Especially when you can't get clear logs and when the execution take time. For instance on Ai project when an error in the logic of your training part occur you can't just run it out differently too much, since training the model all over again can take at best hours, at worst days or months.

I never knew a redstone torch could burn out, this was mind blowing and frustaiting

[@publiusii4246]

Can do interesting things with it to. I've used it as a clock before it's main function is a safety mechanism though it's really easy to accidentally make a self powering torch (torch powers something that powers the block it's on causing it to depower) which causes a bunch of one tick pulses. So because for better or worse this game was originally a school project, notchs solution was to just make the torch turn off for an extended period if it's constantly turning on and off in 1 tick pulses.

[@DomiaAbrWyrda]

Yea also it turns on again when there's a block update so you can make things with the mechanism
