Week 2 Super Mario

Week 2 will be all about super mario and all games in the mario franchise. The main game I will be focusing on wil be the latest release in the mario franchise 'Super Mario Maker'. Remember I will be wanting your veiws on what I post.

5 Facts you probably didn't know about Redstone.

Redstone is an amazing feature of Minecraft. You might know about the basics however there is more that you might not know about redstone. Here is 5 facts about redstone that you might not know.

5) Redstone cannot power certain blocks

Redstone cannot transport a signal through certain blocks like glass, glowstone and pistons.

4) Repeaters can be locked

Repeaters facing into the side of another repeater will lock the repeater. This is an amazing RS NOR Latch.

3)  Comparators can take an output through certain blocks

The comparator can take outputs through certain blocks. This is similar to the redstone not powering certain blocks fact. Using this you can create furnace, chests or dropper traps.

2) Redstone can be placed on glowstone, hoppers and upside down half slabs.

With glowstone being a transparent block and being able to have redstone placed on them makes it super useful when making redstone travel upwards.

1) Redstone ore emmits light

Redstone ore emmits a light level of 9. This is useful for map makers.

 

My Top 10 Favorite Redstone Circuits.

Redstone has many amazing things about them and redstone circuits is 1 of them, therefore, I will be counting down my top 10 favourite redstone circuits.

10) Redstone Clock

The redstone clock lets you make a pulse repeat over and over again. This is really useful when making farms and generators automatic.

09) RS NOR Latch

The RS NOR Latch lets you take 2 inputs to create 2 outputs. This can be used for one way doors

08) Rising Edge Monostable Circuit

The single edge monostable circuit lets you create a one tick output. This can be used to create another circuit that will appear on this list.



07) Duel Edge Monostable Circuit

The duel edge monostable circuit gives an output  but double ticks the redstone. This can be used for dispensing buckets without flicking the lever twice. This makes it useful for ice farms.

06) AND Gates

AND Gates let you take an output when both input A AND input B are on, if one of the inputs are off the output will be off and if both are off the output will be off. This is useful when making combination locks.

05) NAND Gate

NAND Gates let you take an output if both input A AND input B are NOT on. Combine this with an AND Gate and you will have the perfect combination lock.

04) OR Gate

OR Gates lets you take an output when input A OR input B is on.

03) Item Filter

Item Filters let you filter out items. This is used in mass storage systems.

02) T-Flip Flop

A T-Flip Flop is like a lever but it uses a button. Remember the monostable circuit from number 08. if you use one of them it will cause a sticky piston to spit out their block causing the block to stay in the extended position.

Honourable Mention) Automatic Droppers

The automatic dropper (or auto dropper as I like to call it) drops out items automatically without you powering it. this is useful when making item elevators.

01) Block Swappers

Block swappers do what it says on the tin. These are useful for making quick block swapping and my favourite hidden crafting tables.

Week 1 Minecraft

First week and I will be covering the redstone side of Minecraft. I will be posting Top 10's, did you knows and some small facts about the redstone side of Minecraft. Remember I will be needing your views on what I post.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my blog. My name is Brian and here I will be posting information about video games, and each week will bring a new video game. I will also be wanting your views on each and every post I put out there.
