Portcullis (Castle Gate)

Portcullis (Castle Gate)

This is an amazing design for a large gate that actually opens and closes and I think you could probably use any kind of material you like for a door but the fence texture makes this very cool. The whole thing is surprisingly compact when you look at the size of the opening and it is reasonably fast...

Block Swapper

Block Swapper

A block swapper has great potential for swapping out a crafting table with a plain floor block (doesn't work with chests), or a stair block used in conjunction with an opening floor, or even glowstone for pop-out lighting. Youtube Tutorial Minecraft 1.5.1...

Sectioned Test World

Sectioned Test World

This is a fantastic flat world for testing redstone builds in Minecraft. This world comes pre-created with a grid set up as pictured in predominately white wool. It is also pre loaded with a nice little contraption by MyLifeInMC, the original creator of this test world. My addition to it is resetting some system parameters so Creative Mode...

Simple Block Extender

Simple Block Extender

After I posted yesterday I got the simple block extender working in 1.5.1. The ticks in the repeaters need to be just as shown or it won't work properly. This design is normally shown with the redstone extending to the right of the repeators, but I have taken it around the back where it powers into the yellow...

I hunted high and low for a horizontal block extender that did not require redstone parts extended past the second piston and this was the best I could find so far. Many designs on youtube no longer work in 1.5 and I spent hours trying to rework them to come up with a workable solution. The tutorial for...

2 Chime Doorbell

2 Chime Doorbell

Doorbells can be simple or complex. This is the smallest surface area I could create and still have two chimes both sound with the one button press. Youtube tutorial shows how to hide the doorbell inside a wall as well. You can also connect this to a T Flip Flop and then to a door control and have...

2x2 Piston Door

2x2 Piston Door

One of my favourite doors and there are a lot of variations on this design but this is the simplest one I've seen and very compact. The tutorial is very thorough and the redstone at the top can be connected with a T Flip Flop so that you can have a button inside and outside for opening and...

T Flip Flop

T Flip Flop

A T Flip Flop is a great component to add to many other red stone circuits enabling you to turn a button into a switch. It is much more flexible than using a minecraft lever. A common use is to include it in a door design so you can open the door from the inside or outside with...
