Would you like to know more details/explanations/designs regarding the redstone of this build?

  1. So i made a clock over on SMP8!
    +time / deceptious-4 / 17122

    Oh, and then i attached it to this thing...


    This is the working clock tower of SMP8!
    • /v deceptious 4
    • /v +time
    Teleport locations:
    • top
    • mid
    • sw
    • se
    • ne
    • nw

    Two handed, working clock with all 12 position for both the hour and minute hands...

    A TON of redstone wiring...

    And A LOT of redstone logic ciruits...


    The tower has seen better days... collapsing down into the earth below...

    And finally, if only we always had this render distance

    Circuit basics.
    • Two clocks.
    • One for minutes and one for hours.
    • The minutes clock updates from a standard redstone clock;
    • The hours clock updates when the minutes clock hits 12.
    • Both clocks are of the same design, each uses:
    • 4 JK Flip Flops
    • 3 AND Gates
    • 12 "Filters"
    • 4 binary data lines: 1, 2, 4, 8

    Normally this type of counter would go to 0-15
    This one resets to 0 when the output gets to 12

    Each of the filters uses a mixture of different redstone circuits to turn the binary output into analogue.
    It is this output that is passed to the clock face.

    Tower basics.

    • 155~ blocks tall from the lowest point.
    • 125~ blocks tall from town road height.
    • 2 clock faces.
    • 2 logo faces.
    • Face diameter: 45 blocks

    Thanks for reading! This isn't my first build (check out my 1st/2nd/3rd or +ship on smp8) but it is my first thread about one, come check it (them) out!
  2. Holy Moly that looks complicated :eek: Thats amazing!!
  3. Wow, that is amazing and it works!

    And how long did it take you to build it?

  6. For the clock itself, just a few days, i managed to get it all set up and running super fast actually.
    Khixan kept expressing her amazement at that :p
    The second face was maybe another day after that.
    Both logo faces another day.
    The structure itself then took a couple more days, then the sunken half about a week or so i think.

    I'm not 100% when I started it... not long after we opened the SMP8 public utilities :)
