PISTONS 01 - Floor light switch

In this brief Minecraft tutorial, I show how to make a toggle light switch in a cobblestone floor (or more generally, how to swap out one floor block with another).

(See also this video I found

for a different take on ceiling lighting.)

Would this work on walls & ceilings?

[lorgon111]

@HeyzDexy - I don't know; I have not tried. In principle the design works similarly, but redstone can be tricky, so until I've tried it (which I don't intend to do), I can't say for certain.

[AidanFirmLegend]

wait, what does this have to do with lights?

[lorgon111]

@AidanFirmLegend - As I say in the video, imagine the wool is actually glowstone (I didn't want to waste glowstone in a demo video).

Hey man, I posted this video on reddit and there is a stack of questions directed at you. FYI.

@saladasalad - Don't see it (I did comment on a few other videos related-to/referencing mine, though).

I wish pistons could push chests. This would be perfect for having hidden storage.

@PawnScript - 0:17 (I didn't want to spend precious glowstone on this little demo)

[NOxCUSEz]

in the newest version i cant get the redstone power to go through the glowstone... any help... message me

[MWman8008135]

the reason it doesnt work anymore is because glowstone is a glass, wich means it cant transmit redstone signal

[TheMG83]

Can you create a tutorial explaining how to string like 4 or 5 of these together, so they all go on together with a single switch? Thanks.

[GilWanderley2455526]

a way to change it to a ceiling or a wall one is to change the middle piston to above or sideways from the block that will show

[doctorseaweed2]
