    I did the math for the second formula: NºItems= ((Signal-1)*InventorySlots*64)­/14. I think it’s 100% correct and i’ve tested in minecraft lots of times.
    EX: You want a singal strength of 4 in a furnace (3 slots) -> ((4-1)*3*64)/14 = 41.142
    Rounding up: You need 42 items to create a singal strength of 4 in a furnace.

    You sir deserve a medal for that

    Great new series, looking forward seeing more of it.
    You wanted sugestions on topics, I would like to learn more about how to set up hopper filters.

  5. Tachinori Says:

    Then rather then just admonish how useless the comparator is, why not suggest something else that should have been taken up by that block ID, assuming that minecraft wasn’t capable of hosting hundreds of more useless blocks. Like what would -you- have put in?

    Chaz, i made an elevator which is resource friendly, usefull and fast using the comparator. Without the comparator it would have been extremely big and resource intensive.
    I use it everywhere in my vanilla world, here it is: /watch?v=HrjaTj7-xLI

    shut the fuck up already go get shot in the forest

    If you only count “vanilla survival” Minecraft as only going around and killing things, then yes, the comparator is completely useless. But if you use Minecraft for anything other than walking around killing things (like, for example, making a minigame on a server), then the comparator can be quite useful. Just because the comparator does not fit into your playstyle, does not mean other people won’t like it. And also, Minecraft is more than vanilla survival like you do it (see: custom maps).

  9. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    I said shut up. get killed. 

  10. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    shut up kill yourself

  11. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    a redstone clock with variable speeds would be 50 times more useful

    I bet mojang had to try to think of the most useless redstone item from redpower that they could pick into the game and they sided with the comparator

  12. Tachinori Says:

    Im sorry, so when you were demanding senseless death earlier, you were also referring to anyone else who might disagree with you in the future? So rather then admit you’re wrong on any account, or even rather then trying to defend yourself, you maintain your “shut up and die” attitude that’s common in 2 year olds or the mentally challenged? Guess you showed me. I concede defeat. You’ve won. Congratulations.

  13. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    because all the countless fucktards that have replied to me trying to explain but failing
    no use writing a response

  14. Tachinori Says:

    several things.  read your whole argument and i saw neither side put a valid argument towards whether or not comparators are useful. but those you are arguing with are at least acting mature and not just typing out obscenities and demanding people die for not agreeing with them. Also, reading through your argument, you never did specify vanilla minecraft survival. All you said is basically just slandering the comparator. You never mentioned survival until you labeled SheariousWool retarded.

    dude calm down

  16. CelmorSmith Says:

    The Comparator can be used also with the commandblock if you would use for instance the testfor command.

  17. Tachinori Says:

    but in turn, you seem like a brainless moron yourself. When your concept of defending your argument is ignoring other peoples actually sensible claims and just telling them to go die, you look like said “fucktard.”

  18. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    actually I am just not invested in the argument anymore

    the comparator is still an only redundantly remotely useful waste of block ID

  19. ChazOneZeroSeven Says:

    get killed

  20. Tachinori Says:

    Why so hostile anyways? Seriously, why are you so pointlessly violently hostile towards random people on Youtube anyways?
