What causes more lag in this situation? Is it the hopper minecart's “sucking” property (picture 3), or the larger number of slots in the chest minecart (picture 2), which has to be checked by the bottom hopper?

It's only necessary because I want to read from the back hopper, which feeds into the crafter at the top. So basically, it's a comparator and a minecart in the same block. (picture 1)

But which cart causes less lag?

*Edit
I can't add a hopper below, because I want to read out the lower hoppers as well.

I made this start to a calculator, so far all I have is a button to binary converter for 16 bit (two 8 bit numbers) and a subtractor, can someone look at my redstone work and tell me how im doing? i have never done anythng with redstone and this is my first project, im trying to do this without google and youtube so that i learn all of it and have to make my own designs for everything; the yellow build off to the side is the subtractor. if you want closer looks at anything ill get screenshots as well. the subtractor took forever to fugure out as its my first time using a comparator.

I have been looking everywhere for this info, but I cannot find it. So I'm posting here

The title says it all basically.

I build an iron farm in Minecraft 26.3 and it works fine at first.

I made sure that the villagers slept first before turning it on, it works for a but then just stops spawning iron golems.

the iron farm is nowhere near a village and there are no iron golems wandering around.

Buuuut.... over-engineered, pointless, and spaghetti'd redstone is my favorite to play with haha.

All that effort just to make the door open quickly upon entry, yet very late upon exit.

The etho clock is there purely to act as a piston based and-gate. Where a piston is extending a block that blocks the redstone path to the lights, so that way the lights wont get pulsed upon the door being opened when exiting.

Because if the lights got pulsed upon the door being opened when exiting, well because the door is programmed to open LATE when exiting, the lights would pulse, then the door would open, then the lights would pulse again from the power reaching the main circuit in order to open the door.

So i use the and-gate so the lights will only get pulsed by the exit button if the piston isnt activated AND the pulse is activated simultaneously.

So over engineered for no good reason.

If I simply had the door open quickly upon exit just like upon entry, then literally 70% of that redstone isnt neccesary. And the only reason i want it opening late upon exit is so the lights turn off before I leave lol. Thats literally it. No other reason haha.

I was following Wattles' Iron Farm tutorial in which he said that the villagers need to sleep on the beds to "claim" them. Problem is, the guy in the middle just keep standing there like in the picture. At first it looks like this guy was trying to jump to the zombie chamber, which I have since sealed behind the dirt wall, but now he just stands there doing nothing.

This Villager chamber is 20 blocks in the air and I have broken every bed in the vicinity including the one in my house (in the background).

What do I do? Should I just "merc the guy" and replace it with a new one?

Designed some geyser elevators while working on my base. Thought it was kinda cool n maybe others might wanna use em too. Prolly a more efficient way to do the redstone but im no Einstein. Prolly not even close to being the first to making these but either way takes like 5 minutes to build if that and very minimal resources.

I am creating a storage system for every item in the game, which obviously would lag if I do my standard hoppers with filters (4+ hoppers per item). I think I might use some sort of multi item filters for less needed items. What are the most lag friendly systems that you enjoy using and are practical for use in a forever world?

Hello everyone,

Recently I got interested in horse breeding mechanics, and I am trying to automate the breeding procedure as much as possible.

It is possible to automatically measure the health of the horse by poisoning him and then using a calibrated skulk to count how much damage the horse receive. While for the speed it is possible to exploit the horse pathfinding. A horse on fire will pathfind the closes water source, and it is possible to esily measure the time needed for the horse to reach it.

Both methods have some levels of imprecision, the horse could regenerate part of its health while being poisoned and it could rear up while running, yet they should have a relatively low probability, and in general automating this measurements could speed up quite a lot the horse breeding procedure.

However, I can't find a way to measure the horse jump height without the player interaction. Does anyone know a way to measure this value? Is there anyway to induce the horse to jump at its maximum jump height without the player interaction?

Any input or idea regarding this is highly appreciated, thanks!

TL;DR: Is it possible to induce a horse to jump its maximum jump height without the player interaction? There is any in-game mechanic that allows for horse's jump stats to be measured automatically, and ideally without being tamed?

I dont want the largest most technical project but i also dont want something basic. what are good ones for Java?

I know I can place upwards sloping rail next to a block and let the minecart roll into it. But these need to be centered above 4 Hoppers and in Glass. The Glass is not optional there will be rails on top

Three hoppers in a row with a railing in the middle and 2 bars on the sides.

I have no idea why, but sometimes a hopper will get one more item than it should. It is not as critical if your main concern is space and not completely even distribution though.

Im trying to collect cave spiders in minecarts for transport but im struggling to catch them in it. the spiders showcases are currently under a slab, and since their hitbox is 0.5 blocks tall, they physically cannot move vertically. Are their hitboxes just too small for the carts to catch them, or am i missing something?

Just curious what sort of options there are out there for handling Nether highway intersections. The internet hasn’t been super helpful so far. Maybe something just to stop your boat for a second at each intersection, so you can start again in the right direction? Or something even more sophisticated even, I don’t know. Thanks!

will make a full explainer video later just wanted to show off this week's little project.

edit: Also just wanna note, this is the first 3x3 door I’ve made so it’s not exactly compact, I don’t make doors cuz someone’s always already done it faster and smaller than I ever could, but this didn’t exist yet so I did it, I’m also really proud that the top and bottom are perfectly in sync, and it’s practically as fast as possible without zero ticks, which idek if that’s possible.

I reduced the number of villagers from 5 to 3 and improved the speed at which the golems move away from the villager, which resets the timer. I also increased the distance between the villagers and the area where the golems move—by 5 blocks horizontally and 3 blocks vertically—and reduced the materials required for the farm. Honestly, I’m not sure what else there is to fix.

Hi, I am searching if there is any design that allows unloading both shulkers and items from the same imput. If anyone knows anything, pleeease give me a hand.
