Superb video. Just stumbled onto your channel - what a find! As a semi-technical Bedrock player this stuff is invaluable. Well presented, clear, detailed and cleverly edited, look forward to seeing many more like this. Personal request - have been trying to make a good wood farm with semi-auto sapling harvest and want a way of breaking as many leaves as possible from a double row of side by side trees, have tried double piston extenders but can't tile them effectively, have also thought of flying machines but redstone is huge - I imagine you'd be all over this type of thing.

[@ethansendeavors4943]

I didn’t know any of this. I’ve gotten into red stone, and this is so helpful thank you.

[@danieloconnell695]

realistically I would say in the chain of observers, the first 2 each take 1 pulse, because the next one down the line is detecting the state change of the observer from resting to observing, not the redstone pulse out the back of it. so the first one activates, the second on tick later sees the first one, the third one see the second on the 2nd tick, and then the 3rd takes 3 ticks to create it's pulse. It's more likely happening that way, but the results are the same.

[@JennyNobody]
