Redstone mechanics and contraptions are a significant part of the game. I know almost nothing about them

It would be cool if Draftout would highlight them too. Of course, something like build a 2x2 piston door can't be implemented. But maybe someting can be done...

One of my suggestions: Be nearby a redstone dust with a power of 2.
Edit: break a redstone dust with a power of 2 would be easier to detect and more understandable

As far as I know the ways to get it would be to obtain 14 redstone (need to mine or get cleric) and make a long line or get a comparator (can get redstone from witch or structure + need quartz from nether) + composter/lectern/any container/etc or substract mode shenanigans. I think both of this paths are different and gives player a choice.

I think you can write more redstone goals suggestions below this post.

Is that the kind of thing that could be detected by the mod though? Like proximity to a thing ?

Tacomonster4 days ago

you could do break redstone with power of 2

Tacomonster4 days ago

would be easier

burn out redstone torch

ZadikGooba4 days ago

is my suggestion

Tacomonster4 days ago

do burnt out redstone torches have different block state internally?

Tacomonster4 days ago

not sure

ZadikGooba4 days ago

i mean the torch has to know its burnt out some how

ZadikGooba4 days ago

ig it would be proximity based again tho

Tacomonster4 days ago

i was thinking just make it break the burnt out redstone torch

CoolOP4 days ago

I think yeah

Tacomonster4 days ago

similarly to the redstone

Tacomonster4 days ago

thats just lit and facing

Jackson4 days ago

i like this as a goal

CoolOP4 days ago

Yeah breaking sounds like a reasanable solutions for both goals

Tacomonster4 days ago

since you can detect crafters (crafters crafting crafters adv) you could do smt like crafter crafts <item>

GMNatasha4 days ago

I like the idea of redstone focused ones overall though, encourages people to learn new things (which to me is my favourite part of this mod)

CoolOP4 days ago

Consider giving the suggestion

if you like it

Tacomonster4 days ago

crafter crafts granite/andesite/diorite is interesting

Tacomonster4 days ago

you need to get quartz

Tacomonster4 days ago

also a fairly unknown recipe so it would be cool to utilize it

CoolOP4 days ago

Probably crafter crafts smth (easiest would be another crafter) could replace Mine Crafter (despite the obvious pun), because it utlizes its mechanic

GMNatasha4 days ago

And advancement based so easy to implement (I say as if I know how the coding works, I absolutely do not)

Tacomonster4 days ago

i think mine crafter should stay

Tacomonster4 days ago

i like the pun

blanket addict4 days ago

what's the reason to have a crafter craft these

blanket addict4 days ago

feels kinda arbitrary

Tacomonster4 days ago

yeah

Make a headless piston

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Headless_pistons

Tutorial:Headless pistons

This tutorial shows how to create a headless piston ("null-state" piston) in vanilla Survival mode, and what to use it for.

Tacomonster4 days ago

its just a cool recipe idk

GMNatasha4 days ago

Makes some nether routes more viable

blanket addict4 days ago

it'd be fun to have a "craft granite" goal instead I think

blanket addict4 days ago

one of those really easy nether enter goals

Tacomonster4 days ago

ah yeah thats prolly better

Tacomonster4 days ago

idk was just giving ideas

blanket addict4 days ago

if there's a crafter crafts x advancement I do like the idea of it crafting itself

Tacomonster4 days ago

could also do "break locked redstone repeater"

Tacomonster4 days ago

well its a vanilla advancement so just detect that lol

hi, came across this and wanted to point out that if these types of goals are added, the frequency of redstone-related goals would need to be decreased. Redstone from jungle temple, cleric, witch hut, or ocean cave is already one of the best early-middle game lines, there’s legit 2+ redstone-gated goals on most boards, wether it be 3 rails, repeater, comparator, dispenser, crafter, torches, observer, note block, lamp, clock, piston (am I missing any? That’s already 13 goals) Adding more to the pool would just saturate it and make it super swingy

CoolOP3 days ago

Yeah, but probably the overall pool would be larger on release + you can rotate goals from the redstone pool

Superflamez3 days ago

Agreed, would help keep things fresh. Just thought I’d mention it before any action was taken

JAVES MONIDEA3 days ago

There could be a goal like "extend a piston x amount of times", maybe 100 or so? (Going off vibes rather than math.) You could manually power and unpower a piston, or you could build a clock that does it for you

JAVES MONIDEA3 days ago

Activating other redstone components repeatedly could also work (redstone lamp?)

JAVES MONIDEA3 days ago

Not sure if it's necessarily better to build a clock than repeatedly flip a lever really fast though

Tacomonster3 days ago

i think itll be another spam click goal like break tool lol

Tacomonster3 days ago

lever takes 5 seconds and a clock would take longer
