[@HattmannenNilsson]

I'd like to see a follow up, where your friends assess your work and walk you through how they would do it until you understand the principle. Then as a final test, try to make the contraptions again without being able to see the solution you just had explained to you, just to see if you learned anything. Doesn't matter if the final product works or not, it's the learning that counts. If you understand a new principle, but can't replicate it blind in redstone, that's still a win and would be even more entertaining (and informative).

[@Yeshanu]

Yes! Because I need to learn too, and, as he said, Mumbo uses too many big words. 😊

[@HattmannenNilsson]

@@Yeshanu I won't deny that this suggestion may partly have been for selfish reasons. I too would benefit from having a simple redstone circuit explained to me as if I'm an idiot child. I can follow the logic of digital circuits (learned to design simple ones from logic gates at uni), but redstone also works on magic and I'm all lost.

[@dogapproved3537]

[@electra310]

It's very funny how much blind faith Tango has in Jimmy's redstone knowledge compared to Impulse or Etho. "Make a chest spit out items" and "make a fire change color" versus "make a pulse extender that will stretch at least four seconds." Jimmy didn't even know what he was supposed to be doing. :D

[@mastercraftme]

And yet that was the only thing he was successful in doing

[@user-jn4sw3iw4h]

To be fair, it only appears that way. Yes Tango started out from the assumption the 'not redstoner' would know what the term 'pulse-extender' meant. (the mistake any redstoner would make) but he instantly corrected and explained the term. existing (redstone) knowledge required, not given in the instructions: Impulse: invent a redstone clock (comparible to the complete tango-challenge) , preferably one that turns off if the dropper is empty: comparator can read containers, and understand the hopper when not exposed to redstone. Etho: bucket and flint/steel behavior in dispenser, soulsand burns blue, perhaps pistons. (I feel the solution Etho had in mind was, by piston make the block switch between netherrack and soulsand. Then trigger a flint. But other solutions are fine too) timing will be a big thing. (was replaced by, i'll do this manual switch-sequence instead of the single flick) Tango: I will explain a term to you, if you know signal strength exist/fades over distance, repeaters return full power and comparators return input-strength (or less in more advanced uses), you should be able to figure this out, with a feedback loop Alternatively, just repeaters at different delays without feedback would also do.

[@zifster]

I think that while Etho had something else in mind for the fire, he's a fan of unconventional solutions and will indeed be proud of this result :D

[@nursinggeekgames8242]

I'm impressed by the pulse extender! For tutorials, I actually recommend Pixlriffs over Mumbo for exactly the reason you gave. Mumbo explains things in a way that works once you're already comfortable with redstone, because that's his intended audience. Pix, since he's usually doing things as part of the Survival Guide for Minecraft n00bs, explains things very simply.

[@RadarLightwave]

When I started playing Minecraft, I looked up redstone, first video that popped up was Mumbo. I didn't understand a single word he said, but I got hooked on Hermitcraft through him. Season five was just beginning and I watched his Season four world tour video and have been addicted to all the hermits. Still don't know anything about redstone, and don't really play Minecraft or any video games anymore. Still watching all my favorite Minecrafters though.

[@XyloJW123]

Similarly Zedaph explains redstone in a way that you can actually understand. Unfortunately he doesn’t do straight up tutorials, but every time I watch him make a contraption, he explains it in such an easy to process way that I come away knowing more than before.

[@lukioou5981]

I think he cheated, because he added dirt blocks that make use of a principle he doesn't know only shown in tuturials and he used them incorrectly by placing literally two of them in series. When I was noob at redstone I wouldn't never thought of using blocks playing with the hard/soft powered feature, this makes me think that he cheated. But if you didn't cheat, good job, only you will know.

When messing around with redstone before understanding anything it's actually very likely you'll make something simple work by trial and error without understanding why, or that you'll use a feature without realising it, or overcomplicate something and have redundant components in it. Like he wouldn't need any understanding of hard and soft power to accidentally use it. Also a standard comparator pulse extender wouldn't really need them all switched to substractor mode but his was, evidence of the process of just messing about trying random things until it works!

[@BlahCraft1]

TLDR For how the contraption at 3:07 works for Jimmy to understand - One of the features of a comparator is that it can "read" how full a chest is. From a redstone output of zero (the container is empty) to 15 (container is full). You then take the redstone output from the comparator and hook it up to a clock, as you need a pulsing signal (changing signal, going on off on off on off) to keep dropping items, as, just like you found out, an always on dropper only drops once.

[@emmawilliams7477]

I don't really play minecraft much, but I know how redstone works from watching people so I decided to make these alongside Tim. Impulse's: Yeah I did that pretty fast, I used observers facing each other to get it to constantly spit stuff out, not the most lag-friendly because it works even when the chest/dropper is empty, but it works so good enough for me. Etho's: Got it to work, but failed at first because I got confused on how redstone torches work. I did actually use an observer to trigger the flame to turn on instead of just constantly firing the flint and steel. Jimmy's solution is quite funny, I must say. Tango's: I really had no clue how this is supposed to work, so I made the pulse (an observer that I placed and broke blocks in front of) have multiple different lines, each delayed via repeaters differently, so that the pulse was 3 times as long. Jimmy's is actually better than mine before he messed it up, which shows how badly I did.

[@joann-matthew4382]

Congrats Jimmy! What you ended up with for a pulse extender is actually a really common design! The campfire design isn't bad either. You have all of the inputs sorted out, which is the first step with any contraption. The next step would be using something called a monostable circuit. Essentially: lever signal goes in (on and it stays that way) but a button signal comes out (on for a little bit, then turns off). If you build two monostable circuits with inputs from a lever and outputs to the water dispenser, and add delay to one monostable with repeaters, the system would dispense and remove the water whenever you flick the lever. It would be like pressing a button on the water dispenser (to put the water out), waiting, and pressing it again (to take the water back). Hope that's helpful! Mumbo's video explaining redstone components is great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paCvaqGMhqZpp7c Oh, and don't be too worried about not understanding comparators. They're dark magic.

Maybe an idea could be that you have to try and make scenes/buildings from shows or movies picked by some of your friends. For example, the bathhouse from spirited away or Luke’s hut (moisture farm) from a new hope (etc), but obviously nothing too huge Thanks!

First design: first compartor is in subtract mode meaning (signal strength from dropper - signal strength from side = output), that output strenght is carried back into itself via a redstone dust and other comparator. Since makes it x minus x = zero, turning the circuit off. Items still in dropper so it turns on again, repeat. The top redstone dust bud power the dropper (actudentical bud powering is often a redstoners mistake, so I'm going to avoid explaining that). Second design: creative thinking based on camp fire color not too bad for that method actually other then a tad bit more automation (1 flip of switch instead of 2 or 3). Probably was referring to soul sand and nether rack for the original request Third, well Done. Why it worked? you have a loop of comparators that transfer the same strength input to it's output. At the ends there is two redstone dust, meaning the strength went down by 1. So when unpowered every completed loop the strength only goes down by 1, hence longer 9:36 The powered dirt block made it so it was only 1 Redstone dust at the comparators so it doesn't get any weaker (2 or more needed) 10:15 need the loop back into it self for the 15 to zero instead of on or off 8:33 little bit of a roast but you did get 2/3 of them

This series would be amazing if the person who asks the question comes back or reacts to it

[@m00nyed]

I didn't even understand most of the Redstone, but you did great Jimmy! I'm sure the more you mess with Redstone and play around, you could make more machines than I can! This video was great and made me smile all the way through.

[@joyrose7304]

With a little luck that might have motivated jimmy to do just tiny itty bit of redstone in the future, we can still hope! XD

[@Caro_5047]

honestly im horrible at redstone so anytime something gets more complex than just flicking a lever on the side of a redstone lamp i get baffled

[@MrToby11]

Next to Jimmy, Grian looks like a redstone engineer haha.

[@Vuyavuja]

top comment idea: get your empires/hermit friends to build a part of a obstacle cores based on their base/empire and then join then all up and try do it

[@wianchy]

I'm a simple man, I see Etho, I click

[@McGanGea]

Omg i can't believe that he figured the pulse extender by himself. You got potential

[@Alex-yl8dz]

See, your thing with the campfires and the 2 levers is an actual method that's used in redstone to work out the order in which redstone activates, the next steps would just be to make them all work with 1 button with proper timings

[@Gimdxtr]

With the First one. Do exactly what you did with the Chest, Hopper and Dropper and just have to observers back to back, or face to face to get an observer clock at the back of the dropper. Boom.

[@SorayaAmythest_Dragon]

He won’t understand

[@flix2774]

Take three friends, tell each to build something very specific and compare them with yours once your all done (kind of like build battle)

[@The_Grin_Reaper_]

I saw tango and etho on the thumbnail and clicked on it sooo fast

[@brennen_14]

You have to beat minecraft but random challenges from friends appear at random times that you have to finish before continuing the regular game. And maybe the challenges give you rewards to help you beat the game.

[@TAB_100]

I would like to see the same video again, but this time the others will explain how it's done at the end so that you understand what the goal was (maybe also a small video where you will be shown today's)

[@shxd0wwazhere]

Jim idc that you've failed a part of the challenge I'm SO SO proud of you. I personaly have trouble understanding redstone too and I'm almost never able to make it work

[@nicolegarcia3743]

so proud of you jimmy for completing at least one task! or one task and a half XD

[@fafau06]

it's fun watching you trying to solve all of them through an extremely unconventional method yet you still got there in the end while still being entertaining to watch through! ...i also have no idea on how redstone works, so i guess you're far better than me personally lel

[@PersonalZombie]

Gotta hand it to you the pulse extender is just literally correct. Figured it out in one! The other two are... Creative solutions. Ya did good Jim

[@horsegirl4life]

Jimmy, i would like u and ur friends to spend an entire episode under water. Obviously coming up for air when necessary but u r not allowed to step on land whatsoever

[@atharv7984]

For top comments You should act as Joel, sausage and grian each for 5 minutes doing their intro style and in video things and outro it will be funny

[@mrfoodarama]

Awesome that you have such amazing Redstone friends! Each of those guys is responsible for actually Inventing core Redstone mechanics used by all of us even today! Impulse invented the Redstone item sorter, Etho invented the Hopper Clock, Tango created the iconic huge Iron Farms! What an amazing group!
