What I love about redstone is how out of left field the big builds are. If you find someone who has never heard of Minecraft, plop them in a world for a bit, and then ask them what the extreme players do, most people could probably predict grand architecture, speed runs, pvp, and challenges. But they most likely won’t guess “you can use those things that open doors and push blocks to make a computer that plays another video game”.

I would say the only blocks that aren't redstone components are blocks that literally function as every other solid block in the game, like deepslate or stone. Even grass blocks can be redstone components. You can use it with a sheep and observer to make a random pulse generator.

[@caspermadlener4191]

This is basically "every unique block is redstone". And you are kinda right. I do think it is necessary that those blocks can interact with other blocks. If grass blocks didn't cause block/state updates, it wouldn't be redstone.

[@gyroninjamodder]

grass can also be used as a timer or a light level detector

[@deadlypandaghost]

But considering moss and now skulk, there are broad categories for interactions even for solid blocks.

[@GameJam230]

Considering observers should be able to detect when silverfish enter stone blocks (due to the block ID physically changing), even stone style blocks could be considered to have some unique properties for random detection, though I can't say I know what that would be useful for aside from maybe turning a stronghold silverfish spawner into an XP farm that can store silverfish for later so they don't affect the mob cap, but it wouldn't really be all that worth it I don't think.

[@FelanLP]

If everything is redstone, nothing is redstone. You don't have a random pulse. You have a random block update and that's detected by a redstone component.

[@flamingmouth007]

I play on Bedrock edition most of the time, but the redstone is actually random and broken on this version. Despite me being a Bedrock player, I believe that Java redstone is better.

[@joosh.e]

When debating "what is a redstone component?" some extra clause clearly has to be written for the comparator, as it can, in a way, turn non-redstone blocks into redstone components. it is the bridge between the mundane and the technical. obviously the comparator itself is included, but the comparator should not be used within the justification of any other block/item being a redstone component.

[@SamJNE122]

I'd argue that that also holds for the observer, since you could otherwise argue that if using it, blocks such as sugar cane and grass were redstone components.

[@SolomonSidaway]

We don't build doors for practicality, we build them for fun

[@catandcomparator]

I think a definition of redstone component would be: An object that either DIRECTLY powers redstone (i.e. no comparators) OR has different function when powered/unpowered, OR an object that has a specific one-time behavior when powered, OR an object that has specific interactions with a redstone component, i.e. slime and minecarts edit: added more clauses

I disagree with this definition, heavily. As long as it has a unique and measurable interaction with other components, it is Redstone. Almost every block is Redstone.

0:40 Piston doors do have practical function, you can lock it and on top of it, cover where the key lever or button goes in a way that makes it seamless and hidden. An iron door is pretty noticable regardless where you place it.

[@andrek6920]

Even in single player it has a use. If you for example need a door taller than 3 blocks, which isnt just cosmetic considering all the big mobs. So if you dont want to have to open loads of different gates or have a door mixed of doors and trapdoors, or be forced to destroy parts of the wall around it to move mobs through, then a piston door is practical.

[@GhostGlitch.]

locking a door is only really a practical function if you have some sort of chunk claiming and protection mod/plugin. a diamond pick is a universal key.

I just think of redstone components as 3 categories. Direct redstone component: directly interacts with redstone dust, piston, sticky piston, repeater, comparator, observer, dust, rails (except normal ones), torch, redstone block, note block, jukebox, hopper, dispenser, dropper, target, lamp, door/trapdoor/gate, trapped chest, hook, lever, plate, button, TNT, TNT minecart, hopper minecart, all 4 command block types, both skulk sensors, chisseled bookshelf, lectern and day light sensor. (Even if some are utter trash) Indirect redstone component: have a propiety that makes them useful even though totally unrelated to redstone by itself. Walls, scaffolding, leaves, containers, sticky blocks, (normal) minecart, glazed terracotta, transparent blocks, slabs, stairs, etc. Solid blocks: just solid blocks that don't interact with redstone in any way. Stone, bricks, wood, etc.

[@hkayakh]

A thing I came to realize a few years ago is that redstone is in the second layer of interactibiliy with the game. You can build structures as big as the world but they can’t do anything more. That’s layer 1. You can use redstone to actively do stuff and change the game. That’s layer 2. Then you have command blocks which can do more than anything. They can do stuff nothing else can and create marvels beyond even redstone, although they are only creative mode. That’s their 3. Then I guess mods or recoding the game would be tier 4.

[@limpfall13]

Any suggestions to get started on redstone? Should I just hop onto a creative world and toy with the mechanisms for fun? Cause redstone looks fun and fasinating I just am not sure we’re to begin

[@Sloimay]

I'd say find a project you'd like to do, it can start small like "a 7 segment display" and then try to make it by yourself or search up tutorials online and try to understand what they're doing or their explanations. Also try to understand the concepts underlying each creation, rather than just remembering how the redstone is layed out, it's what I see a lot of beginners do which is bad imo. Learning the concepts will make you able to recreate it with redstone (using possibly different components too or different layouts!) whereas just learning the redstone layout is not knowledge you can apply anywhere else. It's like saying "thank you!". The underlying concept is to show appreciation, which from there you can derive what you should say in certain situations, and even come up with original ways of saying thanks. But just learning the phrase "Thank you" won't get you anywhere really, if you don't understand the concept. Hope this wasn't a weird explanation lol Anyhow what I used to do when I started out, was trying to make a redstone circuit by myself that I saw someone else do before. I didn't spoil myself how they did it, I just know they actually were able to, which is a good motivator to make sure what you're trying to do is possible! With time though you'll learn about what is and what is not possible, so coming up with new original machines is less scary. (Because making an original machine without knowing if it's possible to do is pretty daunting imo.) Hope this was helpful!

[@10carries]

@@limpfall13 ok I can try to explain it to you but I'm not the most qualified for this. You know how when you right click (on Java or use button on bedrock) a repeater the stick thing on it moves. This affects the tick delay. A tick is just a unit of time for Minecraft and 20 ticks equals a second. Almost everything that you do in Minecraft has to happen on a tick like placing blocks. Lag can slow down how many ticks happen in a second on servers causing block breaking delay and things. You can right click a repeater up to 3 times and if you do it a fourth time it will reset it to the default starting value. It starts with a delay of 1 tick and each time you right click it it adds 1 tick delay up to 4 ticks. Redstone power sources like redstone blocks or torches can power redstone dust but only for a few (I think 15 or 12) blocks. If you place a repeater then it will allow power to run through redstone again but only for the same distance as the block or torch. When it gets powered through it's front it will power dust at its back after a delay of however many ticks you set it to. The dust at its back gets the same amount of power as the dust next to a redstone block or torch would get allowing you the make the redstone line longer. This is the best I can explain but if you are still confused you might have to watch a tutorial on yt.

I'd agree with Purplers on going with a flat wall over a long hallway, though each player has their preference on which to go with. 4:31, Beyond planning or testing for a server, I personally don't understand why one would build a secret base when there isn't a reason to hide it. 6:17, Bedrock Redstone could have just been Java Redstone from the beginning, and there would be no hassle of trying to find a design that works in that specific version. 8:13, Compacting Redstone is the natural progression of improving the designs that can and should be done and is no different than physical electronics getting smaller over time. 8:50, Until transistors, the reason we had vacuum tubes is because of light bulbs. Its "bugs" were made into a feature and are what ultimately made computers, as we know them today, possible. 10:05, Redstone has its quirks, as does real life. If those real life quirks were removed because they didn't make sense at the time they were found, we may not have the internet to discuss this topic on today.

This is the way I would define a redstone component. If any of the following is true: 1) Can power other redstone components (excluding comparator and observer). 2) Can be powered by redstone to perform an action or change in some way. 3) Can directly interact with other redstone components to change their function. Then it is a redstone component. This excludes most containers, because they don't interact with redstone power, and they don't directly interact with other components. It also excludes chiseled bookshelves. However, these rules include jukeboxes and lecterns, since they can redirect redstone dust. It also includes blocks of amethyst because it directly interacts with sculk sensors. Slime and honey blocks are a bit ambiguous with this definition, but I'd say it's fair to call them redstone components since they directly interact with how pistons and sticky pistons work. However I still believe containers and other blocks that are directly useful together with comparators or observers deserve a spot in the redstone tab, despite not being redstone components. Just like how in real life we use things that don't interact with electricity in all kinds of devices, most namely plastic. But plastic is definitely not an electronic.

[@Niemerald]

I would define a redstone component as a block/item thats purpose is to interact with redstone, so containers arn't redstone because they're purpose is to contain items, but something like a trapped chest would be considered one because it admits a redstone signal when opened.

I think the "redstone component" debate was just trying to say that more complicated builds use things that aren't meant for redstone. It's just force of habit that the components they are referring to aren't redstone components because it is rarely used in redstone. Common habit to see redstone dust and repeaters but less common to see barrels and leaves in redstone, they are still redstone components but just not their main purpose and not what they are known for.

[@redstonepro5412]

i would consider everything that either does something when it gets powered by redstone, or that outputs a redstonesignal under some condition. so comparators and trapped chests count, containers besides trapped chests don't. hoppers count because they can be locked, otherwise they wouldn't, and rails don't count while every special type of rail does.

Definition of component: part or element of a larger whole, Therefore I can conclude that anything that helps with red stone functions is a red stone component. Anything that triggers or can be triggered is a red stone trigger or receiver

[@davishall]

I like this definition as long as we treat it as contextual. If we don't, an issue arises where literally everything is a redstone component. A stone brick block is a redstone component because it can transmit power. It also can have dust placed on top. As a stone brick can serve an important role as a solid block in a redstone contraption, it could therefore be considered a component.

[@lizzarddoggo8775]

I guess a redstone component is any item that can send a redstone signal when an event happens or recieve a redstone signal and make an event happen. Comparaters send a restone signal based on a container. Repeaters send a restone signal after a delay. Pistons and Sticky Pistons extend if they recieve a redstone signal. Jukeboxes will send a redstone signal if they have a disk. A Hopper will stop transfering items if it recieves a redstone signal. A Chest must have a comparater next to it in order to interact with redstone, therefore not a component.

[@TuxedoDogss]

i'd say theres a difference of redstone components and redstone blocks. slime is a redstone block. it has properties that happen to synergise well with pistons, but does not directly interact with redstone signals. a jukebox is a redstone component as of 1.20. it now directly interacts with the redstone by providing a pulse. a grass block would be a redstone block, because you can hook up and observer, and it has niche uses like sheep farms, dirt to grass factories (never made one but ive imagined it), and whatever other things. but it in no way directly interacts with redstone

Light can be part of electric circuit if there is a sensor for it (some relays rely on it thou). I will say, anything that will not receive redstone power to do some function and will not give redstone power as an output if no other component required is not a redstone component. I mean, the magnetic polar itself in the HDD is not a part of electronics but the circuit in the HDD make it works as storage, as the same as any container in Minecraft.

[@AyushTH]

While defining redstone components they kinda messed up because they overlooked the importance of read operations (eg comparator using data from chest).

[@zetahurley294]

they directly adressed that actually at 2:20 - they pose it's a property of the comparator, not the storage device. I agree with this as a similar relationship exists between mobs and pressure plates - I wouldn't say a chicken is a redstone component, but a pressure plate can give redstone signal based on their positions. A drawing isn't an electrical component just because you can take a digital photo of it, and in the same way a chest isn't a redstone component just because you can measure it with a comparator.

[@The_Commandblock]

In Minecraft, a "Redstone Component" refers to any block, item, or entity that interacts with redstone. Redstone components are designed to transmit and manipulate redstone signals. Dumb Example: Prior to the 1.16 version of Minecraft, there was no block with the ability to be pushed by a piston while also having a high explosion resistance against TNT. However, with the introduction of Netherite and ancient debris in the Nether update, players gained access to a block that fulfilled both criteria. Or we got the target block which makes near Redstone attach to it. The beauty of redstone in Minecraft lies in the fact that almost every block can be utilized in some way to interact with redstone. Each block may have unique properties, behaviors, or interactions with redstone signals making it a potential component in the construction of intricate redstone contraptions. I think every item can be used as a "Redstone Component"

[@fartcoproductions8177]

That new bookshelf block is a Redstone component

[@agsilverradio2225]

Are slimeblocks, honeyblocks, glazed terricotta, and obsidian redstone components? They do have unique interactons with pistons.

[@hesterclapp9717]

A redstone component should have an input and an output, and it also depends on the use case. A chest is not a redstone component. If it is read by a comparator, it is an input, but not a component. If its contents are controlled by hoppers and droppers, it an output, but still not a component. However, if its contents is read and changed by the same system, then it is a component. Walls, leaves and bubble columns are not components on their own, but if a piston changes their properties and an observer detects that, then they are components. Rails are components if they are used to transmit signals, but not if they are transporting villagers A hopper can have an item input and item output, but if it isn't controlled or monitored by redstone, it isn't a *redstone* component A piston in a monostable circuit is a component, but a piston in a door is not

[@kylebowles9820]

Cold take: every block in Minecraft is a Redstone component. Think about it, you choose blocks based on their properties, so glass is every bit a Redstone component as a block of Redstone or slime. That's like asking what molecules arent chemistry

10:12 Saim could be said about copper. Not Minecraft copper, IRL copper and zinc, some kind of acid or lightning. The material wasn't designed to power lightbulbs, next thing you know humans made a thing called Minecraft and added a similar element in the game known as redstone, and now it's slowly being taken this far inside Minecraft.

I definitely agree with the perspective that regular containers are not redstone components. Should a book be considered a component of technology in the real world just because scanners can read and copy the contents of their pages into a digital medium? No, the book is just a vessel, the scanner is what does the actual work here. However, that doesn't diminish the fact that the scanner would be entirely useless if it weren't for pages and books that needed to be scanned. Containers are an extension of the funcrionality of things that can read them, but they aren't in the same category as those readers, and that easily applies to comparators and block containers too.

A redstone component is anything that offers a special interaction in redstone builds. Yes, that includes containers such as chests. It also could include mobs, or items like snowballs/arrows, or just about anything else. The only things that aren't redstone components are blocks that are, effectively, purely decorative. Deepslate diamond ore, even for Docm77, aren't redstone components. Redstone ore is. I can't use an observer to detect when I've right clicked on a calcite block. I can use an observer to detect when I've right clicked on a chest. Ergo, calcite block not a redstone component. Chest? A redstone component. To be clear... "solid blocks" as a whole... redstone component. "Transparent blocks" as a whole... redstone component. Specific solid block, like calcite, or deepslate, or granite... not a component. The group, the collective that it belongs to, that's a redstone component "Solid Block" / "Transparent block". Glass is a redstone component. Target blocks. Boats, chickens, lecterns, all of it. What does a target block do, really? It acts as a solid block - which wouldn't be enough to justify it being a redstone component, it would function like any other solid block and be "purely decorative". You could swap it out for a deepslate diamond ore, or cobblestone, and it'd have the same function... except no, it also redirects redstone. Special interaction, therefore redstone component. Bedrock is much better than people give it credit for. No QC, no bud powering, no sticky pistons leaving behind blocks (failing to act as sticky pistons). None of those are logical. All of those are bugs. Bedrock definitely has problems (Observers, y u no detect note blocks??!) but after all these years the only thing I struggle to reproduce on bedrock are flying machines. Everything else can be logically solved.

Lol I spent like twenty minutes ranting on the theme of Minecraft and Redstone and then the page refreshed

[@calebchow5417]

PurpleDragonnuke said chests, furnaces and other containers are not redstone components because they do not make a redstone signal by themselves so that means that pistons and sticky pistons are not redstone components?

[@klashking332]

i'd define a redstone component as a block or item that can directly influence the state of or be influenced by redstone dust, therefore, containers are not redstone components, but can be used due to the fact that they can influence other objects that can directly influence the state of redstone dust.

[@johnmillerpere_grin6371]

I would define a redstone component as a block that powers redstone or obtains functionality when powered by redstone. When it comes to what a comparator reads, that's more complicated. If a block such as a container has functionality inside and outside redstone, it is a redstone component if it is interacting with a redstone contraption. Hoppers are almost an exception because they're always used in redstone contraptions, and so are always redstone components. Also, I would define a redstone contraption as a collection of blocks with logical or logistical function.

[@catkook543]

2:50 I'd say if a component has redstone dust in the recipe, or contains an item that counts as a redstone component in it's recipie, then it's a red stone component

[@davishall]

Counterexamples: Button Pressure plate Tripewire hook Skulk sensor At the very least, I think any definition of a redstone component must include blocks that can create power.

[@catkook543]

@@davishall if you include any block that can create a signal, then you'd have to include leaf blocks

[@davishall]

@@catkook543 Leaf blocks can create a signal? As far as I am aware the closest they come to creating a signal is being detected by an observer. I feel this is not a strong enough justification. It sets the precedent that causing a redstone component to generate a signal counts as generating a signal. This would necessitate some strange inclusions, like all waterloggable blocks. Is the wooden slab a redstone component? I just don't think this conclusion is reasonable. It feels like you are referencing "leafstone", where leaves are used to send signals by moving logs. Honestly, in this context, I think one could argue that leaves are redstone components! My personal opinion is that a redstone component is highly dependent on context, so there is an inherent problem when trying to clearly define "redstone components" in a vacuum. My point was simply that pressure plates and similar should definitely count as redstone components, as they directly generate a signal!

[@catkook543]

@@davishall I will confirm that i was in fact referring to leafstone when I brought up leaves But my point was more so that definitions should be precise to take away any ambiguity or interpretation that could be had from individuals interperperating if a block/item is a redstone component That moment where they took jukeboxes, and said it is not a redstone component before a certain update but then becomes a redstone component past that updates, this is the type of inconsistant interpertitive definitions i'm trying to avoid But i will agree that if a block has it's soul purpose to create a redstone signal, then it should count as a redstone component so for that reason, heres my new definition - An item that has redstonedust in it's recipie, is redstone dust, or has the ability to directly power redstone dust is a redstone component with this new definition, it can manage to include all the buttons/pressureplates/tripwires while also excluding leaves and containers (Except the trap chest)

I define a redstone thing as anything that interacts with redstone. Rail: no Powered Rail: no Activator/Detector Rail: yes Wool: no Redstone block: yes although wool is used in a lot of redstone builds, that doesnt mean it actually interacts with the redstone and is therefore not a redstone component. same logic applies for every block/item
