Well, the median player certainly doesn't, but the *average* player... well still probably not. I have dozens of thousands in my survival world, and presumably there's other maniacs dragging the average up too, but I doubt it would be enough unless we count creative mode players.

I love how much you reduced and simplified the design. I’ve loved the idea of rainbow beacons ever since I first saw it, and have been trying to make tileable design to make a rainbow wave effect (gotta have that gaming beacon)

[@sirelliot3871]

This made me think about how a type of glass that inherits the color of a beacon going through it would be really interesting, maybe something like copper infused glass? Would make some cool builds. Could also have some other functionality to make it less niche like toggleable transparency or one-way transparency.

[@madhavraghu]

oo one way glass is interesting

[@rwobb]

[@fizzzydev]

KZbin just stopped showing me your videos. Happy to see you again :D

[@15Redstones]

I did a similar thing a while ago, after cubicmetre's huge binary beacon video. It was a 127*7 color design with a feed tape with 7 colors and 7 layers stacked on top of each other, and the top 6 layers had a system to shuffle the two currently active colors back and forth. It was a bit less compact because I was 0-ticking everything to get instant seamless color transitions and my 0tick module wasn't particularly compact, but it worked. I also had a smaller one with 7*15 colors which had both a color cycle mode and a manual input with buttons and a lectern to set a specific color.

[@spacefun101]

I just saw the video on your channel. Having a color selector is very cool! Cubicmetre is also what first inspired me to make a similar design on bedrock.

[@SuperLlama88888]

Great video, good to see you back!

[@adamhayes4691]

In Bedrock you don’t even have to worry about the flashing default beacon beam!… because beacon beam colour changes take inconsistently multiple seconds. Seriously though I love this. I find binary in Minecraft fascinating, and I love how you can see it so clearly here in such a beautiful way. I built the regular non-mechanical rainbow strip in creative (Bedrock) awhile back, and I really wanted to try make a single colour changing beacon beam, but I ran into the aforementioned problem fairly quickly while building a feed tape design. I got excited when I saw this, even though I knew it wouldn’t work on Bedrock, but I just love your videos anyway. I held onto a bit of hope that it might somehow work on Bedrock, but then you started talking about zero tick nonsense so I knew it was hopeless. Great video as always

[@spacefun101]

It is very possible on bedrock, and even easier. The beacon does not update randomly, but rather exactly once every 4 seconds. This means that as long as the glass is not moving when it updates it works. Only downside is that you can’t really get quick, smooth transitions.

[@adamhayes4691]

[@JaDeFop]

Hey, how do you design your own color transitions (like you did at 9:35)? Is there a tool for it, or is it just trial n error?

[@tortoise-chan]

His previous video on beacon color theory goes into more detail on how the color mixing works

[@JaDeFop]

@@tortoise-chan yes, but there’s a difference between 1 in-between color, and a whole transition

[@tortoise-chan]

​@kacpergryba2307 well, the beacons shown at 9:35 are cycling through preset sequences of colors. The sequences in question are from pride flags, not designed by squibble per se. And if you have a sequence, like blue-pink-white-pink-blue for example, making a smooth beacon is just a matter of making transitions for each pair of adjacent colors in the sequence. The process of doing that is essentially just iterating through the possible permutations of stained glass, which he demonstrated in his previous video

[@ptefar]

Thank you for the mention. I usually pronounce it 'Tefar, so you got it right. I hope you don't mind if i add a link to this video from my old ones, these are more fun for sure. My designs were mostly an exercise in trying to make a contraption that was unload safe, plus figuring out the 1 tick skew per 10 vertical blocks.

[@squibble111]

Yeah, unload safe is certainly something these designs are not. i wonder if it would be possinle to make a hybrid feedtape ststem that is.

[@ptefar]

@@squibble111 In theory I think it could be, I think. There seemed to be two main types of issues that I tried to handle: One was losing scheduled future activations which led blocks to be in the wrong place, mostly handled by blocking double pushes by obsidian or push limit and recovering from the stall when there was no air block to push into. The second was the layers getting out of sync. The only way I found that was to make sure that any update was done on the same tick. In the case of a hybrid feed tape I think it can be possible to update the states of the counters and the block swapper on the same tick. Would be an interesting excercise. Peter Jiangs machine is pure witchcraft. Link added to this video from mine.

[@eelmail2077]

Here’s an idea for a video: I know many people want beacons in their base but don’t like how obtrusive the beam can be in the sky for your builds. Is it possible to design a piston device with colored glass to make the color of the beam to match the color of the sky?

[@eelmail2077]

I will say a couple issues that come to mind with this is loading/deloading chunks and sleeping through the night. I’ve tried to figure this out myself but daylight sensors are very confusing.

[@squibble111]

Wow. This is a phenomenal idea. Jeez. It would be very difficult as the colors of the sky are likely very specific, but maybe it could be done.
