The Wonderful World of Wireless Redstone

[@cubicmetre]

I probably should of mentioned this in the video, but I've had a lot of comments regarding whether items or entities appearing in the world outside the wireless redstone network would cause issues. And the answer is no, the creation of the items is precisely scheduled in the same gamtetick meaning for external entities to interfere they would need to be somehow created within the same tile set exectutions as the wireless redstone network. Actions such as mob spawning, items dropping on the floor from the player or other entities. Even if they were to occur in the same gametick, would be scheduled in a completely different part of the gametick than our wireless network. The only way in which you could interfere with wireless redstone is by a dropper dispensing an item using a tile set scheduled within the cycle of a network. Which can easily be avoided by using the provided tile sets and ensuring that you exhaust every possibly tile set configuration for a given network.

[@jan_Sanku]

What happens in extreme scenarios with tons of item drops though? For example big servers with multiple farms, many wireless redstone networks, or perhaps an array of dispensers dropping junk at maximum speed? Would interferences be based on chance, as in there's a chance of x% per network cycle of wrong information being created? How would one counteract such issues?

[@jan_Sanku]

Also, why do you need to use every tileset possible in your network? How does this prevent interference?

[@BryanLu0]

@@jan_Sanku the items would have to be dropped using a dropper and the exact tileset your system uses. Otherwise, all the items would be scheduled before or after. If I'm correct, with no delay on the same gametick, if you activate a dropper, the items from this dropper would all come before the items in your wireless redstone system. So everything would be shifted one gt, and everything still works the same way

If you do any programming in a not-super-abstract language, wanting to send binary with this system is pretty much your first impulse. Also, binary is important in redstone as well. If your device works with a number, there's a good chance it uses some binary representation.

[@odrag.29]

[@LordAJ12345]

Wireless redstone is absolutely fascinating to me. Irl, the physical laws are complex enough to allow for many technical inventions, that were never intended by anyone (unless you believe in intelligent design...). In games, this is rarely the case. The intended behavior of the world generally comes first and the devs then write the code to achieve that behavior. There are glitches, but these are mostly very specific (like qc). And of course whenever there is a lot of modularity (redstone), there are many unintended applications. But sending and receiving wireless signals without any intended game mechanic being close to allowing that? Impossible. And then 2no2name comes along and discoveres that the physical laws of minecraft are complex enough for it to be in fact possible. On that basis, people are then able to create machines, that function in many ways like their irl equivalents. A whole new field of research discovered in a game! It might sound over the top, but I genuinely think there are things to be learned about the philosophical aspects of physics from things like this.

[@dommyajd9033]

@@turnatun5585 Quantum entanglement is by no means an area I fully understand and have only studied the rudimentary examples of entangled states. What I can say though is that as a topic, it requires a robust statistical formulation and is more subtle than popular science makes out. The no-communication theorem states that you can't transmit classical information via any quantum states (mixed or pure). More simply, although two particles at an arbitrary distance could be entangled, two people would not be able to use them to communicate because their measurements are random - one person may know what the other measured but that is not the same as communication.

[@turnatun5585]

​@@dommyajd9033 thanks for the answer. I think i get it now. So if we were able to change those random values to values we decided on could we communicate ? sorry for taking your time. English isn't my first language so concepts like these are hard for me to comunicate with others .

[@dommyajd9033]

​@@turnatun5585 Hey no problem pal, explaining stuff helps my understanding too! About state preparation - the point about the entangled two-electron system is that when created, we know they have opposite spins (and can only make probabilistic predictions) but measurement forces them into one of two states - this is the 'random' bit - changing the random values doesn't really make sense because the probabilistic description of things is intrinsic to QM! Imagine Alice and Bob at two opposite ends of the universe and they each have a switch and a light - the light can either turn green or red when the switch is pressed and it is random - it also turns the light of the other person's the opposite colour instantaneously. The quantum mechanical caveat is that both Alice and Bob can't see the light until they've flipped the switch (i.e. they have to make a measurement on the system and so 'collapse the wavefunction' in order to see the colour). Do you then see how if Alice decided to flip the switch first, then when Bob then flipped his one to see the colour, he would have no way of knowing if Alice had flipped the switch beforehand and so tried to communicate or if he himself had flipped it first and determined the colour himself? Probs repeating myself now but do you see how the randomness, A: prevents Alice and Bob from communicating using an array of particles and using a time-based communication system, and B: prevents them from setting a predetermined/pre-agreed state to communicate with as they have no way of knowing if the other has measured the system? With more careful consideration one can prove that any combination of quantum states (mixed or pure) can't be used to transmit information by entanglement i.e. even if we can prepare a state perfectly, communication won't work because the net outcome is exactly the same as if we knew nothing about the state preparation random (as above). 'Looking Glass Universe' has a good video on this and if you're interested in more weird quantum entanglement stuff - look up the EPR paradox and Bell's Theorem (I think Veritasium has a good video on this) hope this wasn't difficult to translate!! :)

[@nicholasandrzejkiewicz]

condensed explanation for myself: -by constantly dispensing items you are making item id which is globally incremented be coupled to item age, since you are ordering when they are dropped and thus ordering their ids -next you need the receiver to be doing this with two items, so that you can activate some signal at the receiver based on what the measured difference between the item ids is -the sender can change the difference between ids at the receiver by when it ejects an item, say in between the two now you have wireless redstone

READ BEFORE YOU BUILD THE PEARL GLOBAL TELEPORTER Reliability: My father and I built two of these the day the video was released. Over the next few days, we've had a few issues with reliability. Sometimes for no reason the items that fall onto trapdoors would combine with the hoppers 2 blocks away. Instead use 6 different items, we used the first 6 colors of concrete, and keep those consistent for each module that you build. The pearls on the sides of the stasis chambers sometimes don't' want to stay put and they port you unintentionally across the world. Very annoying when you're suddenly 50k blocks away from where you wanted to be. We haven't tested this yet, but our current plan is to remove the glass on top of the water and fill completely with source blocks. The only downside is a small cosmetic change and an increased wait time for the pearl to fall. Notes: When you use the concrete/observers to encode your stations you cannot use 0000, you must at least have a single 1 in your 4 binary bits (hence you can only have 15 on the same network) This doesn't work on paper servers, but it does work in vanilla, fabric, and with carpet. you can only have transparent blocks above the daylight sensors so work that into any cosmetic build you're putting this inside of. UPDATE: Having used this for a while even using 6 different items, they sometimes glitch into other hoppers but it takes a long time for this to happen. The most unreliable part of the entire build is currently the ender pearl stasis chambers. I have created a very simple fix but don't have enough play time know if it works 100% reliable. If you want my unproven fix you simply remove the top layer of glass above the ender pearls and fill the entire chamber with water sources. It takes longer for the pearl to fall but it seems to prevent unwanted teleports 100k blocks away.

[@cubicmetre]

I was aware of the item stacking issue, normally I would use unstackables to avoid this problem completely, I thought that alternating the items would also suffice. Item entities should not be able to stack over that distance so I'm not sure that is the issue. I am aware that with extreme behaviours the dropper randomness can cause items to glitch into the trapdoor as it closes. Unfortunately there is simply no way to avoid this with the 20gt clock cycle from the daylight sensors. The only solution would be to introduce a mechanism that can synchronise a 40gt cycle using daylight sensors then change the delays on the trapdoors to give the item more time to land properly before they open.

My worry is that since it uses item IDs (i believe, I need to watch a few more times to fully understand how it works), It doesn't use game mechanics which are explicitly given by the game. It uses parts of the program that help realize the game, and not the game itself, and since this was never intended to be provided to the client, changes to the way game mechanics are realized may break things. Also, the more intricate and fuzzy the mechanic, the more upkeep the user must do, so while you could copy an iron farm and forget, I doubt the average player could effectively implement wireless redstone without technical knowledge.

[@dragskcinnay3184]

The first time I watched this video, I understood the concept of sub-tick priority, how to use the tiles to select priority of events inside the same tick, the item phase concept, how the universality of item phase could be used to transmit info, and what you physically do to send info that way. But I didn't understand how to read phase at the receiver's end, nor anything further. I was thinking "that's cool-I could see why that's useful". I ate dinner, then watched the video again, regularly pausing, thinking about the consequences of what I had just understood, coming back to see if my thoughts matched what he explained in the next ten seconds, rince and repeat. I gradually realised how incredibly powerful this system could get, then took a piece of paper, tried to work myself through an example of sending info to understand the mechanism, then an example with the tiles, with networking and stuff. The first machine (with the self-synchronising clock) is a cute introductive example. The ender pearl stasis machine network is... just mind-blowing. What's crazy is that what you're changing is _not_ the phase of items. It's the _future_ phase of items. As long as the item hasn't been dropped yet, you can change what its phase will be (along the future phase of all other items of the dimension) as many times as you want (provided you planned tiles to make it happen, you can't be making the decision on the spot of course) ; but once the item is dropped, its phase is set and cannot be changed anymore. Also, people are comparing with quantum entanglement. It's even more powerful than that, because there is no probability involved. It's perfectly deterministic. Once the clocks are synchronised, the next phase is fully determined by the preceding phase. And also, with the Minecraft system, _all_ items are entangled, and automatically at that xd. Anyway. I'll stop there because this comment is already way too long. But dang. Mind blowing.

A truly epic breakdown and showcase of this tech, nothing worse than a cool tech that has no applications, but even the "teleporter" could be extremely useful on large multiplayer worlds.

[@weberaustint]

This is *insanely* cool, I can’t even begging to imagine how long it took you to figure this stuff out! I’m guessing the chunks have to be loaded for the receiver to receive, right? So if you wanted to build the enderpearl chambers in a multiplayer server, you’d also have to load chose chunks 24/7?

[@aeonlamb]

there are some pretty fundamental chunk-loader designs, which are pretty crucial for a lot of minecraft tech. I believe you have to start these manually after a server restart however (unless chunkloader designs have progressed since I last checked, which is possible!)

[@KCM25NJL]

@@aeonlamb Chest chain to permaloader will do the trick ;)

[@SamMaddie2]

I'm thinking you could chunkload only the reciever and once a signal's recieved, power a second chunk loader within the radius of the first to start loading the chunk with the enderpearl stasis chamber That way (unless its been patched) you could still use it to teleport yourself even after you've died

[@benjaminpvr3383]

I am absolutely mindblown, great job ! This is amazing, and really well explained, it makes me want to try it right away. Had to watch the video twice to get it though, because one needs to keep in mind that it is both linked to the item phases and the redstone priority rules, and my binary is a bit rusted. Crazy how players can exploit the mechanics of this game.

[@RedstoneWarper]

Besides the mod to fix redstone for single player, there is a way to use it with our the mod and not get errors. The errors are introduced by the client renderer using the same IDs and the integrated server. Causing a conflict witch causes the false positives. Therefore if you do not load the machine with the player and instead leave it in the spawn chunks or chunk loaded it and do not go there with the player there will be no errors.

[@cubicmetre]

Yes, this is why I was not concerned about it in my obsidian platform farm, because the client is in the end when they need to activate the overworld system.

[@NobleTheThinkingOne678]

If this system is implemented into the processing component of minecraft supercomputers, the processing speed should increase by unfathomable amounts. . This literally feels like the quantum era of minecraft. This game truly is the greatest built of all time. No other game gives this much creative freedom to people playing. None other compares

Holy shit, so now we could actually build computers with wireless displays that wirelessly control auto farms.

[@transitpointmusic]

Has anyone written a document for this? Would be nice to dig through a written version!

[@pikuhana]

So this took me some time to wrap my head around. It made a lot more sense once I realized that for the demonstration starting at 10:11, and correct me if im wrong, the synchronization half of the circuit is actually what pairs the two machines to work together, and the way the signal is sent is by both machines recognizing at the same time that their items fell at the same time. So effectively both sides are identical but one ensures they both are able to communicate and the other is only powered when a signal should be sent. I look at it a bit like a simplified version of the way bluetooth works, if you didnt need device identifying packets and changing frequencies. They are paired by knowing one another operates on the same frequency and the only way the devices can know they are talking to one another is by exchanging packets on the correct frequency. Really awesome advanced stuff

[@peaceforever166]

For those who gonna build this and don't know how to identify each chamber you basically need to change the 4 observer on top of the powered rail and the 4 observer that are closest to the ender pearl chamber and assign it a number in binary code for example 2 is 0010 0= observer facing down while 1= any solid block Edit: Btw the 2 book on the lectern MUST have 15 pages else it wont work

[@theqracken4035]

Hey! This is how FTL communication works! Well done

[@larrygamerhd]

Hey, I was experimenting with wireless redstone recently. Since I want to have a wireless system that is capable of transporting different players to different positions, this design seemed perfect for it. I experimented with the world download and first had problems with it where I was teleported randomly. But I was testing it in singleplayer. Moving the world onto a server fixed the issue and it seems to be reliable. Since I now want to build this on my survival server, I would like to have more than 3 stations and support more than 4 players per station. I experimented with cloning the stations and found, that only the Observers are different from station to station. So alternating the Observers should differ the "ID" of each station. But I didn't quite see through it. Could you make a Video on how to expand this system? I don't know how easy it is to expand this design, but it would help a lot! Thanks in advance! Edit: cubit released a video explaining the expansion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXVln15e8t9hKc

[@theendofthestart8179]

so you can make fast travel locations for an adventure map???? thats fucking epic.

[@Ishbosheth.]

This is insane, and while I don't really understand what is going on its still really cool. I wonder if its possible to make something similar to this that cycles through different codes on a sudo-random basis. That way two stations with the same sudo-random seed would be able to be in communication but it would essentially be encrypted from an outside source listening in. It might even help stop the jamming issue in the second contraption. Again I'm not really sure if this is possible since I only barely understand this, but it seems like it would be pretty cool. Awesome job on this incredible discovery!

[@BryanLu0]

It's not a jamming issue per say. It's that the system is not designed to support multiple copies of the same receiver. It's like how old iron farms could have stacked villages, but that doesn't mean that you could just stack any iron farm design without any thought.
