Piston Gate (Portcullis) v3.0 Tutorial

[MoreEpicWeirdoStuff]

@Henness0666 I finally made a 5 meter portcullis. If you want to see it just go to my channel. It's the only video there right now. I'm also making a tutorial this week on how it works because I had to use a completely different design from other gates.

[FoxFoeverAndEver]

Awesome...

just awesome... i could do it by my self with no help but thats realy good

[multishorts]

This took me 5 hours to make on Iron Forge server. It was especially hard because I made it so that the bottom gate mechanism is underground and I didn't use creative. I made the design look a little better. But yeh, great tutorial, was very useful.

[TheSyncedProductions]

I love that toyota yaris advert :p

[guy7416503821]

I made a iron door with a pressure plate. WHAT NOW?

[TheAndy182]

i did this in creative, and when i went to put it in my kingdom, i found out my gate is 10 blocks wide, will this still work? D:

[mrsilvid]

So many thx 5/5 subbed liked and favourited

[henkiebats]

Someone is doing the dishes? haha

[TheAndy182]

im building a kingdom, and i want this for the front, so i made it in creative first just to get an idea of it, and when i do it, each time one layer of gravel gets destroyed, there fore its one block above the ground? :(

[DarkMan307]

@TheAndy182 like i said you must have make one single detail wrong try again and copy the vid EXACLY

[TheAndy182]

@DarkMan307 okay, ill try again :)thanks for hte vid btw :)

[TeddybearTGP]

Dude check your messages I sent you a video 4 ur intro :)

[xPUR3xN4T10NZx]

I MAKE INTROS

[Bezerkerandsandy]

Does it work for any sized gate?

[DarkMan307]

thumb upp so evrybody knows

this DOES work on 1.1 i buldt it and it worked like a charm if you can not get it to work im sorry but eider you did something wrong or u r an Idiot

[Minecraftminer461]

Does not work on 1.1

[mideveal2RULEZ]

Music reminds me of the ice place in Zelda OoT.

[Xbaronlol]

Does not work i tried it on singleplayer did EXACTLY the same and tripple checked it

the circuit destroys my gravel blocks. playing version 1.1. would like some help about this.

[twinsfan901]

do u have to use stone brick to hide it

[IlanMinecraft]

@twinsfan901 No, you can use any kind of block you need.

[TheYoungChizz]

doesnt work on 1.1 the sand/gravel deletes

[Joopez1]

@TheYoungChizz u built something wrong somewhere along the way. I had to restart mine and now i have a full functional 3 high portcullis :)

[kevinbrechie]

Thank you very much, finally a clear explanation

[Mrgojgoj]

download link for map?

[TheKocopo]

iVE GOT LITTLE PROBLEM IN 1.1 when gravele goes up it stay there and dont fall pls help

[Joopez1]

@TheKocopo then ur clearly not using gravel :p

[xXITriickyIStiickyXx]

Is someone having a shower in the background? :D

[YahooRainn]

does this work for 1.1 ?

[TheYogesvara]

YOU CALL IT DUST I CALL IT RED COCAINE!!!

[StuartTheScot74]

How do you open the schematic?

[Ryakx]

awsome tutrial man now i can make my own castle thanks alot! A++

[burturnal]

repeater at 3:30 should be set at 3 delay not 2

[Mrgojgoj]

@burturnal does it matter or is it just that it goes a little bit faster?

[burturnal]

@Mrgojgoj if you set it to 2 last row of gravel won't fall and stay above path level

[multishorts]

@burturnal It works perfectly well with a delay of 2

[multishorts]

@burturnal It works perfectly well with a delay of 2

[burturnal]

@multishorts not for me coz one row of gravel stayed above path level with 2 delay (tested on Minecraft Snapshot 12w06a - dont know how it works on other versions)

[Baamaster]

thank u very much

this took me about an hour to build it

i feel that a major possible cause of problems is that redstone repeaters are not set right. this was my problem

[Silverstar571]

Thanks a bunch for the video. that gate was something that i need for my SP city.

[NavidoTorpedo]

Keeps destroying the gravel i use to push the gate up... any ideas?

[Baamaster]

@NavidoTorpedo redstone repaters arent set right

check them

[CoSNowNE]

please give me a world save on this :D

[CaneDarkley]

it keeps destroying my gravel i use to push the gate up

[PrimalZodiachd]

hey henness ive tried it twice and 2 pistons at the top closest to the vertical wire on the bottom row always misfire please help fantastic design but it doesnt work for me i destroyed it 1 and started again but same thing happens please please help

[TheMrOctane]

Also, whenever I click it to go up, the pistons go up (on the top row) but then go down

[TheMrOctane]

Tried everything, making this in multiplayer, whenever I push the gate up, the iron bars do not stay there, anyone have ideas as to why this isn't working??

[Baamaster]

is this a mod?

i mean does it need any special addons

[OutlawCatx]

Can you make it taller? or bigger at all?

[mikeyoyt15]

I used the iron bars ideas before you lol

[Andrewandrewelmo11]

Ive done everything you have done exactly and 2 of the top rows arent working

[IvanStrelnikov]

Holy crap, when will people learn that talking is always less efficient than typing!

[Kryppheonix]

at least good Tutorial, dont stop producing moar ideas bro

[Kryppheonix]

why u always say one point no and not one point one

[fred372a]

@BenignStatue71 That was an extremely dumb comment, since most people wanna use it in their own worlds, and if you mean they can check it out and copy it into their other world, they would have to load each world a bunch of times. The only people that'd have a use for the link would be people that wanna just try it, but the majority that are interested in trying it will want it in their own world, thus a tutorial is superior.

[raffy1438]

awesome i made one and it WORKED

[TheBarleye]

PRESS THE BUTTON!

[1fantoontown]

WORKS! TY SUBED AND LIKED AND FAVED!

[BenignStatue71]

Just leave a download link, less complaints

[TheHesselRs]

LOL, this video has the label Hidden Door :P I just can't seem to find the door

[NextaroS]

WOW AMAZING IT DOESNT WORK! when i open it gravel stays there 1 block high

[s0vReign]

@NextaroS

The three pistons on the bottom layer set at 4-4-2 should actually be 4-4-3.

your welcome

[PaulAlthaus]

tons of random stuff lying around? sounds like my creative world!!!

[aurisrimo]

DON'T USE "FLATGRASS NO SNOW" JUST UPDATE MINECRAFT AND YOU CAN SET THE FLAT MODE

[Thomasyboy]

can you make a smaller version ? (smaller gate like 3x4 or something)

[TheChillDudeSwagger]

ok guys i havn't used repeaters before so i didn't know this and figured i'd try and help you.

It looks to me like the repeaters have a direction so make sure yours face the same way as his.

hope it helps.

[TheChillDudeSwagger]

@TheChillDudeSwagger just finished it, my problem was some repeaters weren't faceing the right way. thanks for the cool gate dude :D

[EincoolerName1312]

in my version it doesn't work!!

[JosephGubbels]

Talks about how he is ashamed of the world as he gives us a nice good look at it :P

[greythreat]

Also I am having trouble with the middle row of sticky pistons. I think its a game error more than anything but is anyone else having trouble where that row won't stick to the normal pistons to pull them down all the way? I have no idea how to fix that problem, if anyone else does that would be greatly appreciated.

[TheAymanhawk23]

@greythreat ok i had the same problem heres the solution. at 3:27 u see those imers he put instead of 2 clicks on th last 1 put 3 if tht doenst work then put 4 clicks thats what i had to do to make it work

[LokitusDanae]

@TheAymanhawk23 thank the lord himself for you my friend.

[greythreat]

Is it possible to make this without the flip flop? by using a switch instead of a button?

[TastyBandaid]

the row of stone-blocks above the bars keep sticking to the pistons up top when i open and close the gate, leaving a foot of space below the bars when left "closed" after my test session :C

they're not sticky pistons either, and ive tried replacing them with gravel but to no avail. what am i doing wrong?

[TheAymanhawk23]

@TastyBandaid the pistons on the top are supposed to be reg. pistons and if thts not the case check ur wiring on the top. it might be off

[matthewyeung35]

can u give me the save of your world?

[NightlingElf]

Excellent video!! I just got it working in my 1.1 Single Player Survival game and it looks great! I was having the problem others mentioned about a single row of gravel staying raised, but NobleFinale's fix of changing the Repeater at 3:22 to a setting of 3 fixed it. The video is put together nicely and I appreciated the use of color coded blocks- well done!

[Pimball89]

@NightlingElf hey, i change that repeater to 3 and still a row of gravel stay raised, in seg 3:22 there r no repeaters.

[nightelf691]

i have the same problem as bsticknuts and also my top pistons are not fireing and i dont know where i went wrong

[bsticknuts]

i had mine working, but now one set of pistons breaks one block of gravel each time, so now my gate goes up unevenly, any idea why this would happen? I did a 5 piston one and it worked fine before i started making aesthetic changes around it and i might have messed something up

[XF13XCnqstLvr]

This is the coolest world I've ever seen for Minecraft.

[G0ldenVains]

my gravel disapeares after ive activated it:s any help?

[MABje777]

@G0ldenVains same here.. it wont open the gate more then 1 and the gravel just disapeares..

when i use stone it does work only stone doesnt go back down... help us..

[MABje777]

@G0ldenVains I just rebuild the whole thing.. dont know what i did wrong but do it exactly the same as in the video thats what i did.. works now.. IM SO HAPPY !! 4 more gates 2 go :P

[G0ldenVains]

@MABje777 yh, i only needed to delay the repeaters a bit more :)

[aaron9555USA]

ive tried this three times now and the third row of sticky pistons on the bottom doesnt want to go down. leaving a row of dirt blocking the path, any tips?

[0wndhard]

@aaron9555USA dirt doesn't fall down, you need to use sand or gravel ;-)

[aaron9555USA]

@0wndhard lol i know, thats what i meant. it works completly fine the first time but the bottom row of sand glitches in between the second and third row of pistons causing them to stay open and rasiing them a level. so i have a layer of sand were the gate should be making contact with the floor, and when the gates opened its a block off again.

[Vostoceq]

awesome.. thanks for that.. now just build good castle :D

[htesreb]

FYI its not legal to advertise about clicking on ads... u will get banned, my friends did.

[X1Jebus]

Haven't had the time to make a video, but had the time to make this.

[MrBlooddrunkreaper]

i followed this video perfectly with no mistakes but the 3rd row of pistons on the bottom never get pulled back by the sticky pistons

[Ihaskukyz]

will it still work if you only have a button on one side?? (sorry if that sounds dumb but im still new to red-stone)

[mangostudios101]

WOW ITS AWSOME! thanks dude really works!

[gardiner676]

when mine closes there is still 1 layer of iron bars missing at the bottom?

[MadCowGoesMooooooooo]

doesnt work

[Unknownsoldier740]

@MadCowGoesMooooooooo Then you did it wrong, because it works just fine for me.

[TheLoneTroll]

It works !!!!!!!!!! lol thx so much and at first i got a line of gravel for some reason. If u got the same problem the three pistons yu set on the bottom change the third row into sticky pistons instead of regular pistons

[Noblefinale]

I've figured out a fix for all the people saying that it doesn't work. At 3:22 he lays down 3 redstone repeaters. Later, he states to set the final repeater to 2. However, I've found that setting it to 3 can solve your woes. That or I just got lucky while screwing around with the mechanism to make it work.

[chimmerii]

@Noblefinale thx that solved it!

[Pizzabeirut]

hey. u could upload only the regions too.

[deathgoku1]

This is amazing i knew how to make it but never worked before

and now it works

[Felirion]

It works trust me, it does :D. Just look after all repeaters and if u placed the buttons right, then it should work. If u still got problems with it u can pm me (: .

[Pizzabeirut]

doenst works.

i turn the pistons correcticly, but itn doesnt wurks :-/

dammed shematic ^.^

[RunescapeCalculator]

you sound a bit like squidward.....

[Snoopdawgization]

the second you said click subscribe i did because this isnt fake :)

[luke20027]

nice vid

[MelwinMullesen]

i think the gate will be bigger than my castle

[MelwinMullesen]

does it matter what blocks u use

[rpm5596]

I'm having an issue with burnout torches underneath the piston on the T-Flip Flop.

[fckchrisfck]

i have a problem i play on 1.0.0 and on 5:15 when you put the torch on the green block your red line and everything is set on fire or something and i don't see it happen at my screen when i do it. can you or some one els help me with that? pleas !!! :P

[megatucker92]

the 8 wide one worked fine for me

[Unknownsoldier740]

I made a 4 wide version, and it works without bugs, or problems.

[ChineseBanaan]

i made a 5 wide one and it works perfecly but if you make it 5 you must place the t flip flop one to the left or it wil not work

[Karma69ify]

Now i have it working fine, the only issue is that when the gate goes to open, the bottom pistons go up but not back down to drop the gravel. Why could this be?

[Karma69ify]

For some reason, i have a couple of issues. biggest is probably that my gravel is getting destroyed apon being lifted. Secondly my second and third level of the bottom set of pistons doesnt seem to release the energy after the repeaters. The bottom dies but the 2nd and 3rd continue to power.

[Unknownsoldier740]

I made a smaller version :)

[SirDOllarenz]

Will this work if portcullis is 9 wide? I accidentally made 1 block too wide...

[PhoenX19]

@SirDOllarenz I just made one 4 wide and it works perfectly. It is easily downsizable to 5, but 4 requires a few small modifications. I dont think oversizing it would cause any problems.

[xXWhiteFloodXx]

At 6:10 he places a 6th black wool block that he dosen't mention that makes the entire mechanism work!

Thumbs up so everyone can see

[mcrevelutions]

it doesnt work for me... it opens good but if i close it it only goes 1 block down.

[Gewin2092]

when i press my switch the chain stuff goes down to much and yes its 4 up only

[GhostScruffy]

the schematic wont open on my computer

[pidy411]

wow i build this to show of on my server and it works a treat hehehe but i sont really under stand how it works hehe but tyvm for the step by step for dumbies lol

[pedrohenriqueflopes]

Fail , Epic Fail !! 

[taulin1994]

i hate ur speech^^ but nice gate

[MrFreakout098]

This gate was AWESOME!

But i were wonder, how many blocks did you juse when you made it? Like how many redstones, and how many wool blocks?

Because i want to make one at a server :)

[ieuanWM]

5:50 on the video when i do that it doesnt work for me..

[MrDealer23]

damn.. i heard T-Fap Fap :D :D

[PixeledPictures]

You're the one who lays voice to Snape from Harry Potter?

[FroxPrecision]

I was working with this for like 2-3 h and when I finally got it working, (it was on my friends multiplayer server) it worked fine, but then I logged out and went back in because there was some irritating TNTblocks bugging right beside the gate. when I tried to activate the gate again, it did not work, what is the problem?! :(

[mandowarrior123]

@FroxPrecision someone used tnt on your gate and fixed it up aesthetically but could not replicate the redstone.

[shadowteam98er]

Did you replace the sky with GLASS?

[emmettisaninja]

@shadowteam98er yeah, there's a layer of glass at level 128 across the whole map. i think you can do it with mc edit, because ive seen a few maps with it.

[shadowteam98er]

@emmettisaninja Ok, thanks.I didnt realize you could use mcedit for that, i thought he did it by hand.

[emmettisaninja]

@shadowteam98er it's useful for creative building, because it stops rain and snow without having to use mods.

[woweasyguides]

So... how's the girlfriend?

[DuncanS90]

Have much times have you made this?

[irishgamerguy]

Intro*

[irishgamerguy]

I can make you a into pm me

[Empoleon4070]

thanks loads, im having a plan to make a training guild and its going to be huge so this will look epic as the main entrance!!

[UltraScout2]

just a question, if you make a map 'Creative' Can u switch it back to 'Survival'?

[TheGovenor117]

@UltraScout2 Not unless it a multiplayer server

[flameager]

@UltraScout2 only in multiplayer and in singleplayer but then you need TooManyItems or SinglePlayerCommands

[spongefreakman]

Nvm. Changed the repeater

[spongefreakman]

Look at 12:28 to see what im talking about

[spongefreakman]

My problem is that after it pushes UP i have 3 gravel showing not 2. My NORMAL pistons on the bottom mechanism stay 1 block above 2nd row of sticky pistons

[ironCakeMC]

@spongefreakman I have the same problem...

[shadowteam98er]

@spongefreakman I had the same problem, but i solved it by simply changing the delay from 2 to 3 on the last of the set of repeaters placed at 3:27. So it should be 4 delay, 4 delay, then 3 delay. Hope that helped.

[Gewin2092]

@spongefreakman i had this problem to go to the bottom pisston and change the last piston to 3 instead of 2

[FROGGYfishx]

@Gewin2092 This works! thumb him up

[yomama629]

@Gewin2092 that works, thanks

[FROGGYfishx]

@spongefreakman Same!! has anyone worked out how to fix this??

[01Barricade]

@spongefreakman That's cause you're powering the bottom line, noob.

[Fliperiukas]

@spongefreakman just donwload the schematic

[MolecularOne]

@spongefreakman You messed up on the timing somewhere.

[Henness0666]

@spongefreakman Just set the repeater at 3:30 to 3 delay instead of 2 It should fix it, thats for servers that lag with redstone and computers that lag with redstone.

[AnimationPaladin]

CAN IT BE LONGER????????

[TheLimpingBarbarian]

I bet you could build that portcullis even more compact using Mighty Pork's Future Craft mod and I'd love to see it.

That mod is epic!

Also I prefer your v2.1 portcullis because it's easier to remember how to build in my opinion even though it's slightly larger.

[MegaYobby]

i got confused when you said redstone

[TheJminator]

hi, do u have horses?... cause that would be a nice stable

[TheEpicGamesPlayer]

Video no start for me :(

[jjbixby1]

Video no start for me :(
