Why are you interested in joining this server?:
Since I started playing Minecraft, the only mechanic that never got me bored, along with command blocks. Maybe it's because of my love for electronics, engineering or just the endless possibilities that come with pretty much all modular systems that can be made turing-complete. But lately, I'm just bored of making my contraptions all by myself and not being able to share it with anyone that also likes redstone. I looked in many creative servers, but they either didn't have the new features like observers (ViaVersion servers), had redstone banned, redstone clocks banned or were just too laggy. I just joined the server and I was happy to see the visitor plot, because it's been a while since I saw any shared areas dedicated to redstone anywhere.
Current Redstone knowledge:
Locked repeaters, timing circuits, comparator logic, logic circuits, hopper minecart mechanics, dropper tubes and anything with rails in general are my strengths. I'm still learning about flying machines though, but I mostly just focus on farms and machines that handle signals and information.
Past Redstone Experience:
I made not too long ago a modular quick shulker box emptier capable of draining and dropping items into a water streams in multiples of 20 items/second. Pretty proud of it, since it works without any bugs or exploits, in any version. I discovered by accident that hopper minecarts can suck items not only from containers 1 block above them, but from other minecarts. If they are in the middle of 4 blocks, they can take items from any of the 4 blocks above them. This includes other minecarts.
About how often do you play Minecraft?:
6-10 hours per week
Application status:
Approved
What kind of creations would you like to build on this server?:
Currently, I want to build a 7 segment display with hex support and no moving parts. This is part of my project to make logic gates with analog redstone and finally try building an analog ALU and a computer. I've seen many desings out there, but curiously none using the tidyness and small size/power of comparator logic.
