Minecraft Advanced Tutorials: Variable Timers
Just a little something that came to me while playing around in my test world earlier. This includes a brief explanation of AND-gates, binary, logic units. All in all a simpler, more compact way of doing variable timing. Donate: www.paypal.com

I thought so too. I tend to use that logic unit design a lot now since deciphering how to make it work, but I never thought of using it as a variable timer until yesterday. Once you know how to make them, regular AND-gate logic just seems pointless ;p

No problem :)

@Cool12309FromRoblox To clarify things, each time a circuit goes through a redstone torch, that’s one torch delay, which is equivalent to two ticks. Each tick is equal to one tenth of a second.
The first setting on a repeater means one torch delay, the repeater goes up to four torch delays max. That means it starts at two ticks, up to eight.
So, one repeater set to max and an extra torch gives five torch delays, or ten ticks, for one second of delay total. Hope this helps!

@lowertz
I couldn’t resist the easy pun lol.

Should I point out the irony of messing up the 3 forms of their, there and they’re? ;p

@EFT202020
I have :) I absolutely love Grizdale’s inventions. His ripple-carry adder design is beyond amazing.

What you said.

Don’t get a shit, but who gives a fuck! :D

I always get confused, does the 1st thing on a repeater mean 1 torch delay or 1 tick delay? (and if there is a difference, how much is a 1 torch delay in ticks?)

@roboticaust see what you did there :D

Grizdale of the forums has a similar circuit called a unary counter

@roboticaust lol private schools, there cool like that ;)

@roboticaust I would not say “pointless”, but clearly out of our concerns, due mainly to our projects’ complexity ;D

can you show us how to make this please? i need one that lasts for around 7 seconds for my mob grinder.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:04 PM
ahhh binary, i remember the day in year 5 that we started learning about it ;.) memories

@roboticaust Indeed
