Welcome Ladies and Gentleblocks to another tutorial. Today I'm going to briefly show you how to make your very own, fully-automated nighttime lighting system which relies on the usage of a new block that was implemented in the latest 13w01a/b snapshot.

Download the snapshot here!

The new daylight detector block itself, is a fairly inexpensive, but at the same time expensive block to make.

It requires 3 blocks of glass and 3 wooden slabs, which are very easy to acquire. However, it also requires 3 nether quartz. Nether quartz is only obtainable through the mining of Nether Quartz Ore, in the.... you guessed it!... Nether.

The daylight sensor is placed underneath a glass block (to improve accuracy) and provides a redstone signal during daytime to the inverter. This powers the block with the redstone torch on it, switching the torch off. This de-powers all of the redstone lamps.


Once nighttime comes, the signal from the sensor is stopped and the redstone torch switches back on, and all the lights switch on.




If this tutorial has helped you, then my job is done! Have fun making your own contraptions!

Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah, wait! Is this just a tutorial on how to make you lights turn on with the daylight detecor? Umm... It's pretty easy... You should rename it to 'Automatic Nighttime Lighting (Daylight Detector) - Minecraft Snapshot 13w01b for newbies'

no more auto lights that turn on at night that requires testificates! :D this means that they will work eveytime because with the mechanism that requires testificates, they dont come out the moment its morning so they might not turn off but with light detectors...yay :D
