MRC - Mark I (Redstone Clock in Minecraft!)

This is obvious as the title suggests. A clock made in vanilla Minecraft using just traditional redstone (no command blocks). This is just Mark I, meaning pretty much a prototype to Zig and myself. Weo re still thinking of how to overcome certain issues and make this work more like a familiar clock would.

This schematic features:

-Zigo s Two Digit redstone display.

- A daylight sensor

- Custom made circuit inhibitors (the ugly row of purple tree things)


- A simple repeater matrix.


- A Hella lot of redstone dust (lol)




Advantages of doing the clock the way we did it:


- You can change the time via /time and the clock will adjust accordingly (within about two seconds to allow the redstone enough time to make it through the repeater matrix). If you used one of the slim 7 segment displays, it wouldno t be able to do that (at least not very easily).


- It currently uses just one daylight sensor to operate the whole machine (probably will change in the future)


- The circuit inhibitors allow the clock to display one hour at a time, regardless of the amount of power the daylight sensor is giving off.


Known Issues:

• From 7:40 pm to 4:20 am (in Minecraft duh), no time is displayed. This is due to the fact that a daylight sensor will not produce power during this time. We are trying to figure out a solution to this.
  
• It counts up during the AM, but down during PM. This is pretty much how a daylight sensor works, weo re trying to figure out a system to get this working, dono t worry.
  

Possible Future Plans:

• Of course, making the clock work like a real one, Minecraft style. 0-15 AM, 1-14 PM.
  
• Making the clock actually display something during that dark period of time.
  
• **Maybe** Making the clock display half hours
  
• **Hopefully** Designing an algorithm to convert real life time to Minecraft time, meaning instead of 30 Minecraft hours (via daylight sensor), ito d be 24.
  
• Making the clock change time every 1,000 ticks. (probably easier)
  
• Attaching an alarm to the finished clock.
