As you guys know I've been really enjoying your Minecraft challenges recently and one of my personal favorites that I've done, is the no
Redstone challenge instead I had to use minecart rails. Well this time. We're going to be doing something just a tiny bit different
I'm allowed to use all of the Redstone resources, but I'm not allowed to use
redstone dust so this little thing right here is going to be completely illegal inside my redstone circuts
Ah I
Can imagine this one's gonna be tricky so as for usual? I feel like we should start things off with a 2x2 piston door
that's a really good way to just get started so we can learn the ropes and
Work out how on earth we're going to do this thing now believe it or not
I went through a few designs here, but I'm fairly certain that this one is actually going to work, and it's quite compact
That is the ticket in build T flip-flop
I mean to be honest with you...
I actually don't think I could build a piston door
With an inbuilt T. Flip-flop this small if I was doing it using redstone, dust, but I wouldn't think of doing something like this
But that works
So there we go two by two piston door very strong start all right. Let's move on. I'm thinking now
We're going to take on a bit of an odd challenge here.
I kind of want to try and build a useless machine for those of you who don't know what a useless this machine is
what we have is we have a lever that we place down and we flick it and then this piston will be pushed out and
It will come out to here
And then it will extend and then retract and we pulled away, and then this block will pop back up
It's essentially a machine that breaks itself
That's kind of the idea of it, and it involves just simple a simple double piston extender
We also have some pulse extender action happening down underneath. There is quite a lot of stuff going on
So this could be a bit of a challenge
Now the first issue that I've run into well building this thing is that you can't go down a level when using repeaters, so
Generally speaking say for example we had a situation like this
And we wanted to place a redstone line down here obviously we would just use redstone dust and then a repeater or something like that
With this system, we can't we actually have to use sticky pistons and then redstone blocks on their faces
And that leads to issues because then you can only really do it down there, or you use an inverter
This is... this is more challenging than I was expecting I have to say
Now let's see if this double piston extender works, so we're gonna. Have a cauldron. We're going to have water there and
Then we're also going to have
this...
Ahh... I don't think it will because this is going to retract in zero tics
Well let's see so if we were to power this block
We would get the double extension ah not quite we need to have one more tick
Which is
I'm assuming entirely doable
It might just kick in a little bit late
Let's see so water goes there then we have a repeater here, and then we're going to add in
an
Extra bit of delay, it's just gonna have to happen if we flick the lever again double extension. There's a double retraction there we go!
One double piston extender fully functioning without the use of redstone dust we also have the pulse extender down at the bottom now
We have to do is just power our regular patient across, and we should be good
So let's give this a try so when we flick the lever that drops down. Then we get the double extension
That's all good. Now. Let's pretend that this piston is extended that means we'll get the retraction...
Hmm that is going to cause a problem
Okay, I think we can do something about that so if they if we raise this section up
we will then have our cauldron going across here...
And then this is where this is going to go, so we'll have our two sets of comparators up here
Then we'll have our block and then we'll have to have another regular piston facing downwards
Which will update this central piston on the retraction which should hopefully?...
Fix that from happening
Yeah, that was good I just didn't have any water in the cauldron. Oh my word. I just tested it it worked first time
So look we flick the lever this thing extends out piston fires pushing our lever off
And then it all gets attracted back inside the wall and check out this for a redstone circuit well
I don't know if we kind of call our redstone circuit doesn't actually have any redstone in it
Look absolutely no redstone. Dust you can see I'm not cheating right here, and everything is really nicely compacted
It's only four blocks wide and it is five blocks back. I mean. It's definitely not the smallest useless machine
I've ever made
but it's probably up there as the smallest one this four made without any redstone dust.
I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself on this one
Okay
Next challenge, what should we do next?... Going to be totally honest this one may well be impossible
hidden staircase
a staircase
That drops down through the floor
Useless machine that wasn't too bad. I mean it involves some double piston extenders and things that's not too difficult
but this is like a tight knit circuit involving a vertical double piston extender
and also this flush piston door type thing oh...
I don't really know I mean we could do the first the first piston is easy. There we go. That's that done
It's all downhill from here. I think we've made a pretty solid start, so we've got the extension
We've got the pulse extension for the bottom piston and also
We've got the final block retraction as well now what we have to do is we need to run a line into here
Which is going to be...
This block extension circuit and the way that we can actually do that is we could maybe run this in like this
And then we're going to need to make use of redstone torches
Which is actually fine because this goes like this and then this goes up here
And then we can't use redstone dust
But that's okay because we can then go out like this like this
Place a redstone torch there and a redstone torch there and then that can be the extension circuit for these
Pistons as well wasn't really the plan
But I feel like that's probably the best strategy for doing it so if we do this. We should get the full extension
Well there's the double piston extender done
Come on. Now. I swear redstone is actually got easier now that I've removed redstone dust this takes the mick
I am so close to being done with this one look don't be is an extension
We also have the trapdoor is all flush with the floor
Now we have done the flush trapdoor is just my piston extenders now stop working
Now what is actually causing that so if we take a look?
Okay, so this is actually turning off too quickly, and I think that's just due to this delay here
Let's see if that extra one tick is gonna help us
It has! and it just worked!
We have just built a hidden staircase without any redstone.
That is also expandable right the way down.
I mean that really is brilliant. Isn't it?
It's quite slow. It's not the fastest thing the world, but that's because we're really using repeaters and redstone torches
But there we go there's our staircase and now we can drop right the way down into a hidden base.
Absolutely no, redstone dust used once again. Okay next challenge
I kind of want to try and make a 3x3 piston door, but I know I said this about the hidden staircase
Not 100% certain, and this one's going to be possible like genuinely not 100% certain
So hold your horses on this one. As far as I can tell, I have done the first blocks
Extension so if we flip this leaver here, you can see that we actually get that action happening and it happens very fast
I've done a pretty good job on that one, and then if we flip the lever again
You can see that this moves
And then this attracts which means that now we just have to do a double piston extender circuit
Which we've actually done a handful of times before so we could be onto a winner here
And we could be about as build a 3x3 piston door without any use of redstone
Whatsoever which to me is just totally bonkers. And on top of that I've just remembered the double piston extenders
Using this circuit are actually really simple so what we've got is a monostable
Circuit in the form of this observer being moved we then have these repeaters
Which make their way across like this ever repeater sets of four ticks, so there is the extension and then?
What the heck, that was so fast!
We managed to pull that off so perfectly I couldn't have done that better!
[Laughs]
Aw Man
Okay, so there is the bottom circuitry...
Now we just need to do both of these Pistons here, so that one is going to be extended by this area
So let's quickly swap out our wool color does that'll be extended there, and then we'll have
this
So that's all good
And then we're going to have to run it up into the top there's going to be a single piston up at the top
So that should be fine that will go straight in the center
And then... we will have...
Another two Pistons on the bottom as well. I think this is it
I think we've just about done it so redstone torch will go there
That's all good and that will power the last two Pistons now
We've had to do this in a bit of an ugly way
I mean that there's there's no way this is going to be an award winner in terms of prettiness
[Laughs]
But...
It does function and it actually works
So if we get ourselves some quartz to try and save the situation a little bit here and place that dot around like this.
So there we go there is a three by three piston door
You know what were actually going to expand this out as well so that we get the nice wraparound look
That we all love
Okay, so there it is now if we flip the lever again
You can see there is our three by three piston door, and if you flick it again there
It is being retracted away Wow well there we have it ladies and gentlemen
I don't think I can go any further with this one, without just I don't know...
Going completely insane this has been bit of a challenge, but it's also been a heck ton of fun
So keep submitting your insane challenges down in the comment section and on Twitter
I always love them, but unfortunately ladies and gentlemen that is all I've got time for today
