An experimental Minecraft computer made with "Soundstone" -- the branch of Minecraft replacing redstone dust with sound waves.

    Calibrated sensors have less cooldown than a regular sculk sensor even without the extra bits that calibrates it. You can use them to make the computer two times faster!

    Your information storage solution sounds like one of the earliest computer memory solutions - Delay-line memory. UNIVAC 1 had A tube of mercury with a speaker on one end and a microphone on the other. Mercury has a slower speed of sound than air, which is why it was used. So sound has been used to store data for a long time!

    You know, when Mojang first introduced the concept of the sculk sensors, I thought it was gonna be almost useless for redstone, since it interacted with everything and anything. But now after seeing this video, it has convinced me otherwise, and it's wild to see that it can be used for something other than simple traps or proximity detectors.

    Hey y'all, school has been kicking my butt already so the plan is 1 video/month from here on. You can join me in November for a proof about piston extenders, regular grammars, cellular automata, and number theory. And if you wanna support this niche kind of math content, the channel has a 1$ membership now (helps me save for new gear like a better camera). Heather and I made all the badges and emojis from scratch(in most cases, pixel by pixel). Tie-dye armor:□ The wall-clock:□ Nerd pig:□ And *442 pattern orbit:□ Have a great day -Chris🌻

    this is like the fourth or fifth time that a minecraft feature has been discovered to be somehow Turing-complete lmao, I wonder if mojang is doing it on purpose also is there a reason why Rule 110 makes something that looks an awful lot like the Sierpinski Triangle?
  • Damn, that's amazing! I was already wondering if you were working on something big, given that you haven't been uploading as much lately
  • @mischake
    I fucking love how minecraft has all these if functions that make engineering and even programming possible
  • @AstraVoid
    You forgot leafstone building Redstone with leaves

    I will never not be surprised at the things people can use to make a computer, and I’m a computer engineer. If it weren’t for the giants whose shoulders we stand on, we could have spent all of humanity blind to a piece of the world whose potential for creation lies in every grain of sand.

    If something in a game has 2 states that can be changed, someone will build a computer somehow.
  • @isaacm1929
    Could you squish the wires like a DNA helix (3d squishing), and maybe like a cromossome afterwards?
  • @HelPfeffer
    Why not calibrated sculk sensors? If you don't calibrate them, they are just like normal sensors, but faster Am I missing something?
  • @truffles
    As much interest as I have had in seemingly simple systems like this, I never understood them very well, just trying my best to follow along most of the time. But they way you explained this was amazing, I actually understand what everything does and why!

    Pretty awesome work and presentation. I've never seen sculk sensors being used as output devices before.
  • @ContinuedOak
    This was such a technical creation and yet you explained it amazingly, really underrated. Ps the outro music is such a vibe
  • @itsfets
    I was never really good at redstone at your videos are outstanding to me! I have never seen anyone this good with signals and stuff in Minecraft!
  • @lewismassie
    This was super informative both in terms of sculk behaviour but also circuit design
