Minecraft – Tutorial: Hopper Timer
Here is a new redstone timing device that offers great flexibility and range in a very compact space. The idea is to ping pong items between 2 hoppers connected together and controlled by a RS Nor latch. Sorry for the math blabbering. The key thing to remember is that each item you add increases the delay by 0.7 seconds, or 0.35 seconds if detecting half cycles. You can have a maximum of 320 items in the hopper combo.

“Dropper Hopper Combo” sounds like something you would get at McDonalds. Or a Swedish indie techno band.

To clarify, the accuracy of the timer is one game engine tick (one half redstone tick), the *resolution* is 7 redstone ticks.

Hey guys,
My friend recently started posting minecraft videos on his channel, and I believe that with the help of the youtube community, he could do well. He trys really hard and does well, and if you could check him out (his name is Winn3rzMinecraft) and subscribe to him, he would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

It is new content that will be in the next official version of Minecraft. Etho is using a snapshot, which is a downloadable preview of the new content. You can download this yourself, there is a blog at Mojang.com for details.

i see you made 1 two wide and 1 high, you could just place the pistons and redstone on top of the hoppers and than you have 1 wide and 2 high, works the same but could be better in some situations
