That's right, I've never designed a 3x3 piston door in Minecraft before. Please don't take away my redstone card 😭

    It's pretty amazing to see how redstoners can peak on some aspects of redstone but be very bad in others
  • @avogaado
    this is actually pretty good for a first 3x3, nice job
  • @LimolaGaming
    Its weird how so many people think that a Redstoner should know everything about redstone. But some people specialize in computational redstsone, piston door redstone or combination locks
  • @tanhrs8711
    I remember making my first 3x3 (it was on bedrock) and it it so satisfying to see you own door opening and closing!!
  • @IanRosevear
    LOVE this style of video. Redstone YouTubers never show the development process of their builds. They just present a finished project. This is so cool.
  • @turn7x
    so what i got from this video is that this is literally the same process i go through when trying draw. awesome
  • @TheFakeNomi
    I vividly remember designing my very own 4x4 piston door. It took me multiple hours over two days. When it finally worked i was overjoyed, even tho it was HUGE, slow and clunky. I just was so proud to do something so complex all by myself with no help at all i showed it off to everyone i knew at that time.
  • @Gekoloudios
    for 12:37 - basically when the bottom piston finishes retracting the top one, the top one gets updated and because at that point in time the observer ia powering it, the top piston notices. So if you had the same setup but with more delay on the observer it wouldn't work as when the observer pulsed the top piston would have already been retracted and couldn't be updated to notice the observer (hope you understand)

    I know the feeling so much man. I work on CPUs. I did my PhD on connecting multiple dies together. There are lots of parts even within that field of interconnects that I don't know much about, and there are whole parts of a modern processor I couldn't begin to design without looking up multiple guides first. People hear that you work in some field or belong to some "skill group" and assume you must know everything about it, but the reality is that almost everyone in those fields is so hyperspecialized that it takes a small army to design anything really complicated.

    This is like a car mechanic trying to fix a mountain bike

    11:02 yes it always happens the same way in java edition. One good thin on java is that ther is no randomness coming from nowhere when you do redstone.
  • @LMC_Jarred
    It was very fun watching your development process. Great stuff, thanks!
  • @mobbs6426
    Having seen your confidence in these contraptions, I'd like to issue a challenge. A vault style 3x3 that "swings" into the wall. Pull the 3x3 back, then shift to the side Then pull back 2x3 and shift to the side Lastly the 1x3, shift it to the side and the coridoor is open. Obviously. A much wider contraption. you wont fit this in a 9x3, but it would be a cool mechanism to see in action
  • @Timmzy27
    Good job my guy, no-ones a wizz in every aspect of redstone, proud of you and keep it up :D
  • @MacroAggressor
    Interesting to watch your thought process on how to solve the problem, especially considering piston doors are essentially dark magic blackboxes of compactness from my perspective.
  • I was doing redstone for about 2 years, when I realized that 50% of the community is still better than me. So I challenged myself, and built a 3x3 redstone door. Nowhere complex, very slow and takes about 30 seconds to open and 10 seconds to close because of timing problems. Than my friend joined, and wanted to joke with me, he put down a TNT and a flint and steel was in his hands... but his a.. put it ON AND ACTIVATED REDSTONE. So yeah, when that happened I than finally re-did half of it, and I was so happy. And than I tried making a 4x4 and to this day I still can NOT figure it out.

    Jazzi I love you AND this video so much! :D Since I discovered you you've always been someone whose videos I would share with my friends whenever they were struggling with one particular redstone thing or another, and as a redstoner myself it's honestly so true! Sometimes the really simple things end up being the hardest, and I'm glad it's not just me! I've done some pretty complex designs before - my latest creation being a bamboo/sugarcane farm which shuts various parts of itself off and locks all the hoppers when the bulk storage gets full to all but eliminate lag - but I've never made a piston door beyond a 2x2, and never even built a flying machine before :O This video is so humbling and I love you for it! Also I'd love to see you tackle a 4x4 door next :D <3
  • @JakeABee
    I love seeing you go through the process of learning
  • @tanhrs8711
    This is crazy taht, as a not very good redstoner, i can compare myself to your level ! Thank you this make me enjoying a lot this video !
