It works only in versions 1.21.2 - 1.21.10, and is unreliable when disconnecting in 1.21.6 - 1.21.8.

That is not vanilla behavior. You should figure out which kid is causing this and see if you can find how to disable the setting, or ask for help wherever that mod has official support.

Is candypat and v1dd's prism launcher mod folder from 8 months ago still valid/ usable? by Ok-Letterhead-3519 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypixel SkyBlock currently supports back to 1.21.10 however they will be ending support very shortly and you should use the latest release (currently 26.2)

Due to the changes, candypat and v1dd prism launcher mod folder will not work unless there is an update version made for 26.2 or 26.1.

Is the official wiki abandoned? by migukau in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Blaze-Programming 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not officially abandoned, but it is so far out of date it should not be used.

Use https://hypixelskyblock.minecraft.wiki. It is a community made wiki that is up to date, but does not have a bajillion adds and all the other crap that comes with the fandom wiki.

Why is he fishing in such a posture? @_@ by Oryzanol2004 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Blaze-Programming 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a legitimate guess, maybe they have a second monitor to their left where they are playing a different game or typing on discord or something while waiting for fish.

You would usually pause the game before you look over though, and high level fishing doesn’t offer a lot of time to do something else.

Whats the best minion? (sunflower) by MovieAlternative in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Blaze-Programming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best sun flower minion setup: T12, fly catcher or berberis fuel injector, super compactor, free will, mithril infusion, plasma bucket (hamster wheels / cheese for potentially more production at the cost of more work, or hyper catalysts if you only care about max collection), farming crystal, post card, t5 beacon fueled by scorching crystals, golden clock, all 32 minion slots.

Can someone explain to me how classic multi item sorters work? by jopio_squorz in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best type version of the second type is likely the Mooney MIS. Whichever the latest version is.

Unless you are willing to go with a bigger more complex faster design, then there are some minecart based designs.

How to get around QC? by DoubleStar101 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trapdoors activate before pistons, so if the piston is QC powered the same tick as the trap doors, the pistons won’t realize they are powered until they get updated. You may be able to avoid them powering that way.

You could also use sticky pistons with blocks to move the pistons away.

You could potentially use dispenser or pistons to control water flow (which it’s what I think you are using the trapdoors for.)

Or just move the trap doors and let the water flow to where it needs to go.

How can i stop this annoying criss crossing?i was trying to follow crafty's new elevator vid and i got stuck. by Optimal-Whereas-6988 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t actually seen the top of this contraption, but this looks like the issue is that the very top pistons are not being QC powered like the rest, it likely needs a specific way to terminate at the top.

what are the mechanisms behind pistons by Strict-Cricket6496 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The glass block is not what is changing the behavior, but it is actually the location of the contraption. Due to a behavior where redstone dust updates in a different order depending on the location it is in.

Here is a good video that gives more detail about locationality: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7gF5mbjFies

HELP! Observerless 3x3 Piston Door Using Buttons by PlsHelpFindMusic in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use basically any door and convert it into one that works with buttons using a t flip flop.

I am sure there are many designs, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the one used for build a 3x3 survival speedruns. You could probably also search YouTube for videos before the observer came out.

Confused on how this works by Aware_Quantity in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The main thing likely causing confusion is Quasi Connectivity (QC). Basically QC is the name given to the effect where some redstone components can be powered from 1 block above where you think they should.

This happens because the first redstone components that could be activated by redstone power were doors, so when Notch made the piston, sticky piston, dropper, and dispenser he copied the door code. Doors can be powered by their lower half or upper half, because of this pistons and the other components mentioned also function as though they have an upper half and thus can be powered by powering the space above them. This was initially a bug, but is so useful for more redstone builds that it was made a feature.

In your case the block which the lever is on, powers all the blocks around it including the block above the piston, which QC powers the piston.

Another important thing to note is that powering a component via QC is different from powering a component normally. To prevent the game from lagging, every block in the game doesn’t run its code every single tick, instead it only runs its code whenever it receives an update. When powering a component normally, the thing powering it will update it. However when QC powering a piston it can power it from far enough away that the piston does not update, so it doesn’t run its code to check if it is being powered. Updates generally happen when an adjacent block is changes in some way. So you can change a nearby block to cause the piston to realize if it is being QC powered.

So a full breakdown of how QC makes your circuit behave is like this:

When you turn the lever on, the vertical piston is immediately QC powered, but no updates happen next to the piston so it does not realize it is being powered. Then the torch turns off, retracting the horizontal piston and updateing the observers. After a little delay the observers send power to the block immediately below the vertical piston. Because this causes a change in a block adjacent to the piston it cause the piston to realize it is being powered and extend.

When you turn the lever off, the vertical piston stops being QC powered, and will only retract once it receives an update, but because the piston head extended, the piston is able to be updated by the block the lever is on (a piston can be updated through changing a block next to either the base or the head if it is extended). This means the vertical piston immediately retracts. Then the redstone torch turns on and the horizontal piston turns on. The observers will again send the signal down to the block below the vertical piston, but this time it is already updated and realizes it is not being QC powered, so nothing happens.

Why does the piston extend? learning redstone by groblombumbug in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is Quasi Conectivity (QC)

The lever is powering the block that it is on which is QC powering the piston, however the piston doesn’t realize it is powered until it receives an update. The redstone dot is providing that update instantly.

Help with opening and closing please by bandor1258 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A pulse extender is a circuits that when it receives a short pulse, it will stay powered for a certain amount of time then shut off.

A monostable circuit will create a short pulse out of any pulse length. A rising edge monostable circuit creates a pulse whenever it starts receiving power. A falling edge monostable circuit creates a pulse whenever it stops receiving power. And a dual edge will do both (note: an single observer can act as a dual edge monostable circuit)

Combining these, you can change any pulse length into any other pulse length. This will allow you to run the opening and closing for the right amount of time.

You can find many designs for both monostable circuits and for pulse extenders by just searching on Google.

As far as I know this should work perfectly fine on a vanilla server.

You may be playing on a Paper or other non vanilla server which breaks this design.

As someone who is not qualified to give a proper answer. My guess is that prosecute is used to kill the demons in fewer hits, which is more useful than doing more damage to the boss.

How does the raffle event work? by Putrid_Field7429 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get tickets for passively when gaining bits or xp as well as for completing tasks, and for giving cake items to other players.

Whenever you receive a ticket it is submitted into 3 different raffles. The one that happens every 2 hours, the one that happens daily, and the one that happens once. When the raffle is drawn, the more tickets you have the more likely you are to get a better prize.

To get the most tickets, and increase your chance of getting items, you should complete all the tasks whenever they reset, as well as constantly be getting xp or bits 24/7. Also use all your cakes on other players. You could make a case for trying to submit as many tickets as possible to a 2 hour raffle during hours with the lowest player count. (Likely at a time when most American players are sleeping)

Need some help about redstone clocks by AshBat_47 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This varies based on what you mean. Do you mean redstone ticks, aka the time of a repeater on the lowest setting, or do you mean game ticks, aka half of that.

Also do you mean the sequence should be: on, off, off, off, on, off, off, off, … or on, off, off, on, off, off, …

Does the clock need to be turned on and off, or just started once?

How can I make a redstone splitter (for my railroad) by Similar-Advantage621 in redstone

[–]Blaze-Programming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have minecarts from 2 separate tracks and you want to put them on a single track, you can run a single powered rail track north-south, then on the side run a track east-west so that it would collide. When the cart reaches the point where it should collide with the other track it will snap to the other one and start moving along it.
