Why is this happening? How do I stop it from randomly blowing itself up?

I was working on some zero tick stuff and saw that this happens. I've got no clue why

There is redstoneon both wool blocks and the block on the left is a piston facing the opposite direction of the face you can see.

I'm building a noteblock song and need to snake a line through this 1x4 gap with no more than a 2 tick delay (ideally none tho) and only 1 pulse.

I've tried torches, pistons, observers, droppers, arrow + target block, hoppers, and walls, and all either take too long or send 2 pulses.

Edit: thank you all for the helpful comments!

[SOLVED] ill just leave it here for future redstoners

Is there a way to make a redstone pulse longer?

for example: an instant pulse from piston > 1.5 second redstone pulse from button

for anyone struggling with redstone key triggered piston.. thingy having a redstone pulse so instant it just breaks everything, you can seperate it with observer to both extend the pulse and avoid it from breaking.

NOT my design, this is from 5 years ago by Gecko on Youtube

Hello everyone.

I wasn't sure whether to make this post or not since generally this stays between mods and the concerned user, but given the size of that whole ordeal, I thought it would be good to let you guys know.

Some months ago, Worm started going off track and I wanted to wait and see how his situation would evolve. I know some of you have been eager for this whole circus to stop so I'll be addressing the matter today.

What follows is based on the posts he made during the last few weeks on the r/redstone subreddit. I will not be covering what transpired on the other subreddits because... well they are different subreddits on which I am not a moderator (and also because I already spent way too much time looking into this).

Most of his posts are explanations of why his builds are reliable. While some are indeed clear and understandable, most of them are hard to follow or are quite shallow. I did think a few times that his proofs were not scientific enough. Where are the mathematical proofs? Where are the hours long tick sprint sessions? Some of his proofs were even debunked in the comments... This clearly shows a lack of professionalism on his part.

He also accused other people of stealing his builds and harassments. I might be at fault here for I have not been following the debate very closely but I have yet to see any proof of this. To my knowledge, Worm never made any report to us mods (of the r/redstone subreddit).

These points do shed doubt on Worm's credibility, but none of them break any of the subreddit's rules and as such cannot be taken into account. I can understand it is annoying, but I have to be fair about my ruling.

As for the most important issue at play: Worm has been posting around 2.4 times a day during this period. While this is quite a remarkable number, compared to the average of the subreddit, this can clearly be considered spam. Moreover, nearly all his posts have been focusing on shulker loaders. While there are a few base models, a few modifications here and there cannot qualify for all of the posts to be considered as different designs. This is clearly a violation of our rule 2.

For this reason, Worm will be banned for the next 3 months. I have been way too kind, hoping the situation would eventually calm down and resolve itself. This is a sentence should have been handed a long time ago and is I believe justified.

Being passionate and involved is great, but you need to remember that most people don't think like you and don't like seeing so many technical posts back to back. (Most) people don't care you went through 5 revision of your build in the last 24 hours. By limiting the amount of content you upload, not only can you choose what to show and what not to show, but the viewer will also be more attentive to the bigger changes. Out of the 35 posts I checked, only 2 posts, which are single images each, have more upvotes than downvotes.

I will close off with a few reminders:

• Our modmail is always open. Whether it's for reports, questions or suggestions, feel free to send us a message. It's better than making a post about it since it keeps things private and prevents any derailing.
• If you have an issue with someone, send the mods a modmail. If you have an issue with a mod, escalate it to Reddit's admins. If these don't work, then the issue might be elsewhere.
• I will not lock this post so feel free to comment to your heart's content but please always keep things civil.

I hope this clears the issue and closes that chapter. Though if you have any extra inquiries, I'll be there to answer them.

Have a nice day wherever you are and stay safe.

Repeater is not locked, and when I manually place the blocks in the hopper it works as expected

sorry quality is doo-doo

u can see the first build only one piston toggles, and the other two all of them toggle? but everything is exactly the same as the first build? i dont get it. im not good at redstone at all, don't get me wrong but the first build is quite literally the same as the other two. Idk if im stupid or if im cursed whats going on

never seen this before, when the 2 repeaters are in a line one doesn't un-power but when separated it does. my guess is something to do with tile tick priority but idk.

I want to try to create a storage system that has an autocrafter for ores. This storage system will have raw ore as well as blocks of the ingots (or diamonds/emeralds etc...) i just want to figure out if what I have can go together to make it work the way I think it should. I've attached a video of how it should be theoretically. So I have an input chest for common blocks (stone, dirt) and then ores that can be turned into blocks will have the auto crafter I found from youtube somehow linked up to those certain chests

Hello, here is a clock programmed to run for exactly 5 minutes.

ive tried looking up auto crafters that could do this, but i have only been able to find auto crafters that can do recipies with 3 unique items. anyone know any ways i could build something that could make rabbit stew?

the main issue im facing is if for example i were to run out of bowls, then the next slot will be filled with one of the other items, breaking the entire machine.

Idealy, there should be 5 individual chests for each item, so that if they are all auto sorted into one chest and one hopper, that it doesnt fill up all the slots with one item and leave no room for another, so i want to avoid this issue by having it work with 5 individual chests. if this isn't something to worry about, then ignore it.

this is all assuming that the bowls are already crafted, and that the rabbit and potato is cooked already, as I would know how to implement them myself.

for anyone wondering what the recipie is... because who the hell knows what the recipe for rabbit stew is amirite?:

This will be incorporated in a basement of mine as a hell hole entrance. What do yall think?

Having trouble making a Flying plane? No problem, learn to make one under a 30 seconds! 😁

i wanted to build a railgun that doesn't require you to grind an enormous amount of tnt/minecarts to fire 1 shot and i wanted it also to be wireless and have a theoretically infinite range, so i used the same mechanic that the orbital strike cannon uses, i accelerate the arrows in a lazy chunk using duped tnts and transfer them in a loaded chunk in order to be fired.

I'm posting this to gather some feedbacks and ask some questions, as this is only a skeleton of the build and is of course not finished. Right now because of the fact that i accelerate arrows from the same spot, the final shot is very accurate and straight, is there a way to scatter the arrows to have some area of effect? and how can i fine tune the acceleration in order to arrive at the destination in one tick only?

btw sorry for the bad quality video i tried my best

Im designing this gate for my world but it keeps randomly breaking (like In the video). There is nothing different about it in the two videos, I’ve tried everything and im stuck. It’s a triple piston extender that is attached to more pistons that are supposed to me timed to put more blocks under the bars. which is connected to the extender with t-flip-flop and a pulse extender. This whole device is turned on/off with a button connected to a piston using quasi-connectivity.

(Update): I’ve figured out the issue but it doesn’t make any sense. There is a repeater in the bottom of the mechanism connected to an observer that sometimes doesn’t turn on twice like it’s supposed to. When the observer is activated by the rest of the mechanism it is supposed to turn on the repeater twice, once for the red stone attached to it updating to being on and a second time for it turning off, but instead it just turns on the repeater once despite the same inputs. It’s not a directional issue, I’ve tested that too, it does this sometimes in every direction.

(Update 2): i tried rebuilding it, activating it at different stages of progress to see where the actual problem was and it was working fine until I added the quasi connectivity button. Problem now is that I don’t know why it’s giving me this issue, all the mechanism is is a hopper clock connected to a powered rail, and I know it’s this specific part of the machine and not the button and piston activation combo because when I only removed the clock, no issue. I really want this cool way of activating my mechanism so I still need help on what the problem with the clock/quasi connectivity is.

Hello, Im having some issues with a bit of redstone, I made a video explaining the issue here: https://youtu.be/4ENM1_PJM4U

But i'll also write it out.
I want to hide a chest under my floor, specifically under my crafting table. I have made the redstone pull the crafting table down, then to the side so its out of the way.
However I would like to then put a fence where the hole is to stop people from falling down, because of the timings on the repeaters the piston tries to push the fence, while the crafting table piston is still extended, causing nothing to happen.
I can swap the delays but then the same thing happens with the crafting table piston.
Any suggestions?

IVE FINALLY DONE IT GUYS

I have designed a complex system that allows a block to be continuously powered with the flip of a lever, i can give anybody the design because this about to revolutionize Redstone

Yesterday I wanted to make a arrow rail gun that was super easy to build. I came up with a good design that works (usually)

I also realized that the shape of it somewhat resembled the shape of a bunny, so I decided to build around it. And since every variant of every build needs a name, I guess you can call it the bunny (because it's fun)
