Greetings, visitor of PLANET-MCPE. In this series of tutorials, I will be gradually constructing a house while taking screenshots and detailing my actions. I believe this will be quite beneficial for beginners (and perhaps others as well!). We will be building in Minecraft PE.
What did we cover in the previous part?
We are now laying down redstone inside, connecting all components of the mechanism completely. The redstone is routed to the lever. (Note! Make sure to run the redstone below the blocks of redstone that were placed for lighting; otherwise, the redstone block will send an infinite signal, breaking the mechanism)
Next, we’ll place temporary sandstone blocks to prevent water from flowing further than necessary.
Let’s test the mechanism by turning the lever to the active position:
I then noticed that to reverse the effect, you need to switch the lever back to the off position and then activate it again. This isn’t very convenient, so I’m looking for a solution.
We’ll dig out a space one block wider from our lever, and I’ll explain why:
In that space, we will install multiple repeaters set to maximum delay. Why do we need this? We’ll use a button that sends a short redstone signal, which will split into two paths. The first path leads to our initial redstone track, and the second goes to the repeaters. (Note! Be sure to place 1 repeater on minimal delay along the first path to prevent the mechanism from locking and remaining in the off state). So, initially, the first signal will reach the dispensers, releasing water onto the crops, followed by the second signal from the repeaters, which will stop the water flow.
In the screenshot above, you can see that when the button is pressed, the water starts flowing and then stops after a second. Now let’s conceal the mechanism.
To more neatly restrict the water’s path, we will use pressure plates that will prevent the water from flowing beyond what is needed:
This concludes Part 47 of the construction. Stay tuned for new parts in the guides section or check out a special publication where all guides from our site are compiled!
I look forward to your suggestions and ideas in the comments.
