I just wanted to get my input in on this,if its a teligraph your making,wouldent it work on a server best so you can comunicate with them? What im geting at here is a server would load all the chunks right? It seems like it becase more than one person ia in the same world,just a thery I gess
@Zaxeryzax A multiplayer server keeps chunks near each player loaded. If you happen to have players standing along the entire telegraph line it will work fine.
Woah, woah, woah. If you can't see the end of the final design from the start that means the chunk isn't loaded and the redstone should not be able to update according to my understanding. This is the issue that has inhibited my contraption size. How is the signal sent through a chunk that is not loaded?
@BlackholeYT11 A chunk can be loaded even when you can't see it. The system for loading chunks seems simple: If it's in (or close to) your visual range, it gets loaded. But unloading chunks is more complex, and I don't know the exact algorithm.
@BlackholeYT11 As long as you walk along the entire line first, it should work. I'll try to ask Notch or Jeb about chunk loading and long distance signalling at MineCon.
I'm working on building components like RAM and such, things that have already been done, but I'm trying to make them much, much faster. This will help considerably, if I can find the space for extra parts.
@WyattEpp It's a monostable circuit that generates a very short pulse (one redstone tick). That leads into two redstone repeaters that are lined up in a circle. The pulse runs around the circle.
This is amazing TaviRider. I have few questions though. On the long wire, it was sending a signal so far, that the game wasn't even rendering the blocks that far away. I was under the impression that the gamecode was only updating the world as far away as you can see. (256 blocks at the most, I think?) But maybe this is only for mobs (as they despawn when out of the distance)?
Second question: Will this work in SMP? Is the redstone signal being computed on the server or the client? Wil it lag?
@scarystuff1970 Rendering and updating are relatively independent things. The game has usually loaded more chunks than you can actually see, sometimes FAR more. People have reported to me that they have to walk to the end of a very long instant wire and back again before it will work the first time, to get the chunks to load.
Interestingly, there may be a delay between when a block updates and when it LOOKS like it updates. You can see this with a long instant wire that loops back to the start.
@TaviRider with the way those pistons appear to delay their movement, while the redstone updates and the sound sends immediately.... it seems to imply that the speed of light in minecraft is slower than the speed of sound and "electricity" (redstone-icity?)... very interesting. sound is so fast as to seem infinite, but light is exceptionally slower than that....
@scarystuff1970 In SMP, redstone updates are done by the server, so it won't make instant wire behave like regular wire. You will still have a delay as the results are sent over the Internet to the client, but that's a roughly constant delay. It won't be a longer delay with longer instant wire.
I'm going to try to make an instant ALU, and after some experimentation it seems to me that you'd want to use the single-edge instant wire in combination with the 'auto-piston reset', as this works perfectly fine for 'instant devices' (even better than the dual-edge) as you'd only need to transmit inverted pulses.
btw, I you could use pistons to replace the monostable credits, the same as an 'instant repeater' but with the far torch replaced by a single redstone. This has the advantage of havi
Now the only problem is the block updating limit coded into the game(there's a set number of blocks that can update in a single tick before the game moves on to the next one). Once redstone CPUs start using this a lol, additional delays serving no function to the redstone contraption will have to be added to avoid the forced single-tick delayshappening randomly.
@frubban I'm still not convinced that there is such a limit. What I see is that there's a limit to how many blocks can update visually, but not how many update logically. Is there an explanation of how the block update limit is demonstrated?
While I am very impressed with this wiring, you can just use the command "Fly #" to set your flying speed instead of "Fly -> Setspeed #". Unless you already knew that and for some reason beyond me are increasing the player's speed.
@Garbsful A couple people have pointed out the fly 5 command. I wasn't aware of it, and have been flying around at high speed ever since. But thank you for the tip.
@FallOfWar Yeah, I'm concerned about that. Single player is relatively stable and reliable, it just runs slower sometimes. But SMP has several variables that may affect performance of something like this. It may be on a fast or slow server, with a lot of chunks loaded or just a few, with a lot of players or just a few. I pretty much have to rely on my viewers to try these things out on their servers and let me know how they work.
@ArnutisxD That works, but it's difficult to get just right, and it slows the signal down. The longer the line, the more it slows down the signal. It's really tedious to get the timing right... you end up having to count torches along the way. And if anything changes in the middle of your wire, or you reroute it a bit, you have to retune all the redstone repeaters.
Why invert the signals after the monostable circuit? Can't you just swap the wires that go into the last pistons for the same effect, but have less delay?
@snati4 Good question. The monostable circuits also invert the pulses. They turn short off pulses into short on pulses. You need that in order to properly control the piston latch at the end. When I tried to combine the short off pulses directly in a latch, each system I tried ended up introducing a longer delay.
@badhardba I appreciate the tip. I've thought that I shouldn't do that because then people will end up asking me "What command did you use to fly around and move more quickly?" Plus, I'm a pretty fast typist.
@badhardba Looks like you know a lot about SPC. Have you had problems with timeschedule acting oddly? I find that it works oddly, sometimes stranding me at night when I want it to be day.
My question is if your output is almost right beside your input, would it not be simpler and faster to just make one wire going directly to it? If you need to have the long delay on the first edge, just use a monostable circuit.
@ixcaliber for the case of testing his input is next to his output, imagine instead of looping round and coming back, the instant wire continued the same distance off further ina straight line, the result would be the same.
Okay, you're right, lying would be pointless. But at least one person accused me of lying in my previous video, so I thought I'd take a few seconds to make it clear that I wasn't lying.
@rushone2010 That's not my area of expertise, yet. For complex digital electronics components like those I rely on my colleagues in the Redstone Development Foundation. But I'll get into those things eventually.
@antigrief247 Hmm... I'll have to sleep on that. There may be a way to use a single edge instant wire over a long distance but still effectively encode a regular circuit. It would pulse each time there's an edge, either rising or falling. The hard part will be keeping the constant delay minimal.
@uber4ndr3w It's a custom build from CyberPower. i7-920, liquid cooled, 6GB RAM, Radeon HD 5800 series video card, dual monitors, running Windows 7 64-bit. Before long I'll upgrade it to SLI and add a solid state drive. I made sure there's room for those.
@TaviRider Very nice, I'm still stuck with the last gen quad-core (overclocked), and I just got a gtx470.The performance isn't that bad so I'm waiting to upgrade when the new socket 2011 Core i7s come out at the end of this year.
Your mic seems to pick up on the popping noise that a "P" makes. A cheap pop screen off of amazon will help out the audio quality of your videos a ton!
@TaviRider a sock will probably work just aswell, assuming it has a decent thickness. do some audio tests. Other than that, i would suggest the "Blue Snowball" mic, and a pop filter off of Amazon. Definitely worth the money, even if you have to save up spare change.
@JOSHSTENN I'll consider the Blue Snowball. thanks for the recommendation. Condenser mics are shock-sensitive, and usually you have to get right up next to them... would I need one of those vibration isolation stands? Would I be able to sit normally?
@TaviRider I'm not positive on those answers, maybe some googleing will help, but from what i know you should be fine sitting fairly normally, obviously you will have to be within a reasonable distance, but i think the audio quality will be worth it. Also, i'm not sure about the stands. afaik the one it comes with is fine. However, i would suggest doing some audio tests with your current mic to see what is best. record tongue twisters with emphasis on S and P sounds.
@TaviRider That's always been my problem, I'm sure if I looked harder I could find one but if you don't mind some crazy jurry-rigging, it'd work just as well
I am going to dub this MAC. Minecraft Alternate Current. It shares simlar properties with AC while in comparison standard restone is comparable to DC current.
it seem to me that you could cheat the wire on with redstone torches and repeaters. so that you could use the trailing edge more quickly for your signal. Great work by the way.So what do you think.
@TaviRider no I am saying you might be able to speed up the wire by adding redstone torch and repeater to each piston position and have them turn back on automatically and simultaneously. I think your great. sorry for the misunderstanding.
@MrThomasCavanaugh I was joking with you. But I don't understand what you're describing. How is it different from the change I made for the fast cycling instant wire?
@jontis96 I've seen that, and tested it, but the upward edge design didn't work for me. I believe what was happening is that it was shortening the pulse length each hop, so eventually the pulse would be reduced to nothing.
each of the piston "repeaters" can be reduced in size, lead the wire into a block with a torch on top behind the piston. this can propagate the signal in the exact same way. thus reducing it's footprint
@diceyface Yes! This is a really nice improvement. Not only does it take less room, it makes the instant wire reach one block longer per junction. Thank you for the improvement. I've already made the change throughout my circuits, and I'll give you credit there. If I do another video on instant wire, I'll give you credit in that as well.
@FluffehTheSheep And this wire have mechanic parts instead of just electronic, so it's even further from fiber optics. But is fiber optics if you judge by speed.
@Camblec I like Single Player commands mod more. You can fly simply by looking up and holding W without using Q and E. And you can also bind fly to key.
@TaviRider Well you did kept me waiting but it just made want to see the final product even more. Great job on the instant wire. I love the concept even though it's hard to come up with anything special to do with this except long distance syncing. One very cool thing this could work well with would be some kind of an running competition where players stand next to doors and the doors open the same time letting the players to go on to the course. Of course this would be in a very big scale.
@Dalokohs I enjoy this part so much. :D I never would've thought of a synchronized starting line for a race. Imagine a big symmetrical hedge maze with two entrances, one on each end. You'd want both doors to open at the exact same time for a fair start, and both people race to the middle.
@thebishma Folks in the RDF have already made some serial communications circuits. One of these instant wires might be the right choice for that kind of application. How would you do your telegraph? I imagine a hatch clattering open and closed, like the clicking of an early telegraph.
@TaviRider The hatch would be a cool effect but I fear client/server lags might make it impossible to tell dots from dashes. My first thought was 2 noteblocks of different pitches triggered independently using a pulse length detector. A visual could also be achieved using 1 piston to indicate a dot & 2 pistons to indicate a dash.
Of course this would only really be useful if myself & at least one other player on my server learn morse code. Unless chat gets broken in 1.8 it might be a hard sell
If you do try pulse length detection, keep in mind that the positive and negative edges have slightly different (but constant) propagation delays. The pulse lengths will change a little... I think they'll shorten a little.
Pure0Powah put it quite nicely. The only improvement I can think of to your work is if you could clone yourself so there could be even more content. I've had so much help from your videos and explainations!
@TaviRider the end double piston latch can go between the 2 monostable currents. also vertical stacking and diagonal insulation could could reduce it to 2x2 with 4x4x3 junctions also you can power some thing off half the un-combined signal. I wish morals did not drive me to delete my pirated copy of minecraft then I could build it and give a more detailed design (just theory and a longing to have money)
@MecMachinic There's the online redstone simulator at mordritch[dot]com[slash]mc_rss I'm not sure it can simulate the 0 tick piston behavior, though.
Using a high/low wire is a potential optimization, but you'll have to avoid the update issue that keeps pistons from retracting.
I intentionally separated the monostables and the piston latch to make the final signal stretch longer. The longer link between them is exactly 15 meters.
Tavirider, I must take a moment to thank you for all the things you do. Seriously the stuff you do with redstone is amazing and all the research you do.. Just incredible, I'm very happy to be able to see these videos with good explaining and quality, I thank you :)
@Pure0Powah Thank you. But to be clear, I don't do this work for free. There IS a price!
The price is that you have to show me the things that you are able to create with this stuff. It's very helpful to see how people use these things, and the improvements they make. That completes the feedback loop that drives Minecraft innovation.
@TaviRider Too bad I'm on vacation and stuff and not able to do stuff for myself :$ This way I can still keep up with all the uses for new redstone devices that are in updates :) When I get back to school and I have more spare time then I have now I will start fiddiling with these stuff again :)

Your mic seems to pick up on the popping noise that a "P" makes. A cheap pop screen off of amazon will help out the audio quality of your videos a ton!

@Elstohr Is there one that works well with headsets? This headset has a little foam cover, but clearly it's not doing the job well enough.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider a sock will probably work just aswell, assuming it has a decent thickness. do some audio tests. Other than that, i would suggest the "Blue Snowball" mic, and a pop filter off of Amazon. Definitely worth the money, even if you have to save up spare change.
JOSHSTENN 7 months ago
@JOSHSTENN I'll consider the Blue Snowball. thanks for the recommendation. Condenser mics are shock-sensitive, and usually you have to get right up next to them... would I need one of those vibration isolation stands? Would I be able to sit normally?
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider I'm not positive on those answers, maybe some googleing will help, but from what i know you should be fine sitting fairly normally, obviously you will have to be within a reasonable distance, but i think the audio quality will be worth it. Also, i'm not sure about the stands. afaik the one it comes with is fine. However, i would suggest doing some audio tests with your current mic to see what is best. record tongue twisters with emphasis on S and P sounds.
JOSHSTENN 7 months ago
@JOSHSTENN Cool, thanks JOSHSTENN.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider That's always been my problem, I'm sure if I looked harder I could find one but if you don't mind some crazy jurry-rigging, it'd work just as well

TaviRider 7 months ago
it seem to me that you could cheat the wire on with redstone torches and repeaters. so that you could use the trailing edge more quickly for your signal. Great work by the way.So what do you think.
MrThomasCavanaugh 7 months ago
@MrThomasCavanaugh Are you accusing me of cheating, sir?
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider no I am saying you might be able to speed up the wire by adding redstone torch and repeater to each piston position and have them turn back on automatically and simultaneously. I think your great. sorry for the misunderstanding.
MrThomasCavanaugh 7 months ago
@MrThomasCavanaugh I was joking with you. But I don't understand what you're describing. How is it different from the change I made for the fast cycling instant wire?

jontis96 7 months ago
@jontis96 I've seen that, and tested it, but the upward edge design didn't work for me. I believe what was happening is that it was shortening the pulse length each hop, so eventually the pulse would be reduced to nothing.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider Actually they make the signal 1.5 ticks longer for every repeater. But there are some oriantation issues with the off-on as I call it :P

299458 7 months ago
each of the piston "repeaters" can be reduced in size, lead the wire into a block with a torch on top behind the piston. this can propagate the signal in the exact same way. thus reducing it's footprint
diceyface 7 months ago
@diceyface So...
Input wire->block-with-torch-on-top->piston, in a line?
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider yup, my wording sucks I realise. input -> block with torch on top -> stickie piston -> etc (the rest how you had it)
diceyface 7 months ago
@TaviRider did you get it to work too?
diceyface 7 months ago
@diceyface Yes! This is a really nice improvement. Not only does it take less room, it makes the instant wire reach one block longer per junction. Thank you for the improvement. I've already made the change throughout my circuits, and I'll give you credit there. If I do another video on instant wire, I'll give you credit in that as well.

Minecraft fiber optics pretty much.
Akhiloth 7 months ago 85
@Akhiloth I almost called it "superconducting redstone".
TaviRider 7 months ago 16
@Akhiloth Not exactly. Fiber optic cables use light, redstone simulates an electronic current.
FluffehTheSheep 7 months ago
@FluffehTheSheep And this wire have mechanic parts instead of just electronic, so it's even further from fiber optics. But is fiber optics if you judge by speed.

You can just type "fly 5" instead of "fly", "setspeed 5"
Should save a bit of time
pimanrules 7 months ago 67
@pimanrules Ooo, thanks for the tip.

@pimanrules Zombe's Flymod comes highly recommended. Keybindings for slow/fast flying remove the need to type anything to fly.
Camblec 7 months ago
@Camblec I like Single Player commands mod more. You can fly simply by looking up and holding W without using Q and E. And you can also bind fly to key.

@Dalokohs I didn't get to the point as quickly in this video... I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider Well you did kept me waiting but it just made want to see the final product even more. Great job on the instant wire. I love the concept even though it's hard to come up with anything special to do with this except long distance syncing. One very cool thing this could work well with would be some kind of an running competition where players stand next to doors and the doors open the same time letting the players to go on to the course. Of course this would be in a very big scale.
Dalokohs 7 months ago
@Dalokohs I enjoy this part so much. :D I never would've thought of a synchronized starting line for a race. Imagine a big symmetrical hedge maze with two entrances, one on each end. You'd want both doors to open at the exact same time for a fair start, and both people race to the middle.
TaviRider 7 months ago
Well my powered rail subway is nearly done so, with this innovation, I guess now I should start a telegraph.
thebishma 7 months ago
@thebishma Folks in the RDF have already made some serial communications circuits. One of these instant wires might be the right choice for that kind of application. How would you do your telegraph? I imagine a hatch clattering open and closed, like the clicking of an early telegraph.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider The hatch would be a cool effect but I fear client/server lags might make it impossible to tell dots from dashes. My first thought was 2 noteblocks of different pitches triggered independently using a pulse length detector. A visual could also be achieved using 1 piston to indicate a dot & 2 pistons to indicate a dash.
Of course this would only really be useful if myself & at least one other player on my server learn morse code. Unless chat gets broken in 1.8 it might be a hard sell
thebishma 7 months ago
@thebishma One if by land, two if by sea!
Or the Beacons of Gondor!
If you do try pulse length detection, keep in mind that the positive and negative edges have slightly different (but constant) propagation delays. The pulse lengths will change a little... I think they'll shorten a little.
TaviRider 7 months ago
Pure0Powah put it quite nicely. The only improvement I can think of to your work is if you could clone yourself so there could be even more content. I've had so much help from your videos and explainations!
HolyHorv 7 months ago
this instant wire can also be made more compact. but it will still be your high voltage power line.
MecMachinic 7 months ago
@MecMachinic How?
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider the end double piston latch can go between the 2 monostable currents. also vertical stacking and diagonal insulation could could reduce it to 2x2 with 4x4x3 junctions also you can power some thing off half the un-combined signal. I wish morals did not drive me to delete my pirated copy of minecraft then I could build it and give a more detailed design (just theory and a longing to have money)
MecMachinic 7 months ago
@MecMachinic There's the online redstone simulator at mordritch[dot]com[slash]mc_rss I'm not sure it can simulate the 0 tick piston behavior, though.
Using a high/low wire is a potential optimization, but you'll have to avoid the update issue that keeps pistons from retracting.
I intentionally separated the monostables and the piston latch to make the final signal stretch longer. The longer link between them is exactly 15 meters.
TaviRider 7 months ago
@TaviRider what I was trying to say is that this is a cool proof of schismatic that can be worked into bigger impassiveness builds.

MecMachinic 7 months ago
Tavirider, I must take a moment to thank you for all the things you do. Seriously the stuff you do with redstone is amazing and all the research you do.. Just incredible, I'm very happy to be able to see these videos with good explaining and quality, I thank you :)
Pure0Powah 7 months ago
@Pure0Powah Thank you. But to be clear, I don't do this work for free. There IS a price!
The price is that you have to show me the things that you are able to create with this stuff. It's very helpful to see how people use these things, and the improvements they make. That completes the feedback loop that drives Minecraft innovation.

@TaviRider Too bad I'm on vacation and stuff and not able to do stuff for myself :$ This way I can still keep up with all the uses for new redstone devices that are in updates :) When I get back to school and I have more spare time then I have now I will start fiddiling with these stuff again :)
