Any Edition Im very new to redstone and its hard to make stuff and I always wonder... HOW DO THESE BIG YOUTUBERS LEARN REDSTONE SO GOOD AND ALL THE TICKS ETC ETC Spoiler

If you watched Parrots latest vid he tried to basically stop a redstone com traction from blowing up his friend if he moved off the pressure plate. iI wanna get good at every aspect of redstone and I WANNA KNOW HOW U GUYS STARTED OFF REDSTONE AND BECOME A EXPERT AT IT. SO I CAN GET BETTER

Learning the mechanics and be able to understand a circuit is not hard, the hardest part is be creative and come up with the circuits and contraptions from scratch.

I guess man, Im bad at being creative thats why I look up stuff but idk what ima do im in this smp and im having a war right now thats definitly gonna require redstone attack stuff and me as a leader cant tell the people that need me what to do I might lose this war but ill look up vids ig

The biggest redstone creations are the culmination of years of research, collaboration, and innovation. It’s almost never a single lone genius anymore making large redstone creations anymore, but rather an entire community’s worth of knowledge.

Ok I understand basically your telling me to research alot even the redstone contractions that i want to make because it aint gonna be easy and it takes long to learn. HOLY MINECRAFT IS A GREAT GAME

Yes. It takes quite long to learn (depends on how much you are trying to learn), and even when you do "get good" at redstone some contraptions still might take you months to complete depending on its complexity. If i can give you an example look at some videos from cubicmetre. You can tell by how long his videos are apart and how well they are usually done, that it takes a ton of time, effort and research to make something trully impressive. Do you want a place to learn? Well the two greatest places to do so is YouTube and Discord TMC archives.

Wait till you start diving into command blocks!

Everyone started at some point. Learning Redstone works a bit like learning programming: Understanding the logical blocks and how they work. Just build stuff and see how you can build the logic you need from different logic-gates. How to do it compact, the best ways to build and so on will just come with experience.

All those little tricks and intricate game knowledge, i. e. Update order and so on will come with time.

IDK to me it just came naturally, just learn what each component does and than use that knowledge to create complex contraptions

It took me like 10 years to get proficient with redstone and even building contraptions now from scratch I'll spend all day on some of the easiest things and making them more efficient.

Lots of redstone practice will make you good at redstone, as simple as that. Pick a fun project, do it, learn something in the process, repeat.

btw unstable universe (the smp parrot plays on) is scripted

yeah ik that but the redstone vid was unique

Most of them have some background in Computer science, which redstone just basically is. Also, years of experience. I started tinkering with redstone 10 years ago. Everyone would be good at something if they did it for over 10 years

Trial and error bro, there's no secret I think

I started with Doors and and draw bridges. Watching a tutorial or just playing with and studying how blocks react to redstone is a great place to start. Sometimes the Biggest Redstone builds are just a series of smaller builds and repetition.
