Mad Pistol's Redstone corner! (Redstone crash course, tutorials and tricks)

post #1 of 24
Thread Starter 
Hey guys!

I've talked to a lot of people on Minecraft that would love to learn redstone, but they have no clue how to get started. Today, I'm going to launch a series of videos with redstone basics, tricks, and tutorials on how to create basic and advanced redstone devices. In this series, I will cover the basics of redstone construction, how it works, what you can do with it, and how to make some cool devices that you can possibly use.

The reason I think this is important is because with the exception of some videos I've watched on youtube, I am completely self taught on redstone. Most of the items I will be demonstrating I have either discovered by accident or though careful thought and testing. Because of this, and since I have no background in computer engineering or electronics, I figure that most other Minecraft players can also learn how to use redstone as well.

I will reserve this post and the next one for upcoming videos and plan on doing regular updates to these posts as new videos are added. If you have any requests on items that you would like to see (or attempt to see me make) please let me know in this thread, and I will do the best I can to make it.

I promise more videos are coming. I'm currently trying to setup a redstone showcase on Axi's server, and I will be using some of that to help explain redstone mechanics. thumb.gif

If you want to be taken seriously, you need to elaborate. Otherwise you'll be assumed as a troll, like we just have.

BTW Pistol, nice start! If you need help and don't mind my Mediterranean-european accent, I can help biggrin.gif

Thank you for your compliment good sir. thumb.gif

You should probably let people know that you're being sarcastic. tongue.gif

Simmer down. Zergspower is my friend. His humor is very sarcastic, but you wouldn't know it from his post. He's actually the one that taught me how to use redstone. thumb.gif

That being said, go crawl back into your hole Zergy. tongue.gif




EDIT: Quick update. Axi's server crashed, and I spent a lot of time trying to set up a redstone showcase. Now, I'm going to put this project on hold until I can get another permanent server to set up the showcase on. It shouldn't be that long before I'm back up and running. smile.gif
