![]() ![]() So my conclusion is that the longer you make this setup, the more block updates the piston on the other side will receive. It was 5 block updates the first time and 6 the second time. So I did the exact same thing and extended it another 3 blocks. So I wondered what would happen if I extended my setup? I added another 2 blocks of water and an observer in between to lengthen it by 3 blocks, the result was it was 4 block updates the first time, but 5 the next? This is getting odd, now it's swapping between 4-5 block updates rather than 3-4. I activated it again, and it was 4? It continually swaps between 3-4 block updates for activating/deactivating the piston. Now back to my other question which has even stranger results I was wondering how many block updates this setup gave, it was 3. Nevertheless, I found that after more studying it could only send signals up to 2 blocks away(Well, there went the idea of sending signals across the ocean. I was very confused at this point, Nothing was adding up. I also tried alternating between lava and water thinking that they might update each other, this didn't work either. So I tried activating the stream seen on the image below. So my next thought was "Can it go long distances? If so, this could be a way to send signals in one tick". ![]() I also tried running normal redstone into both water & lava, it worked as long as an observer was picking up the signal on the other side. Naturally, the next thing to do was to see if it did the same thing with water. Now much to my surprise, it ACTUALLY worked. If the test fails, it will simply do nothing. If the test succeeds, the piston on the other side will push the block. To test it, I simply just activate the piston closest to me. My other question was "can it carry a redstone signal?", So I used the following setup to test it. There wasn't any block update next to the lava for this to happen, yet it happened anyways? I'll return to that thought later as another question popped into my head, just know that this was enough to get me tinkering. However, there was a third block update shortly after the second update. What I would normally expect is for there to be two block updates from the lava, one for cobble destruction, and one for cobble creation. It didn't help at all, but I did notice something odd. I don't know why I thought it would help, but I put observer blocks on top of the lava thinking I could do something with it. Things were going well, I had just put the finishing touches on it and it was ready to test. So a few days ago, I decided I would try to make a stone generator. I wanted to share it with you guys because I think you'll find it very interesting, well at least I did anyways. Recently I found something very odd that has to do with redstone, or does it? Īlso I don't think I'm the first to discover this as I found a reddit thread discussing it three months ago, but I thought it would be fun to share anyways.Hey everybody. For more info on block updates/observer blocks, see both of these links to the minecraft wiki: &. An observer block is capable of detecting block updates. ![]() If you place it back down, that's also a block update. If you break a piece of cobblestone, that's a block update. Note: Before I begin, you should know what a block update is. ![]()
