A World of Redstone
Redstone world is a place for players to build complex redstone builds that can potentially cause lag. This world is mainly used for housing things like mob grinders, automatic farms, and auto-sorting storage systems.
Redstone Rules
1. Do not leave redstone clocks running.
All clocks must have an on/off switch and be turned off when the player leaves the world, OR, must function in a way that the clock does not stay on continuously.
2. All farms (including mob farms) are private.
This means no sharing farms with someone who didn’t help build it.
If you would like to share a farm/base with another player (or players), all of you must work together to build the farm. Up to 5 people can share a farm/base together, as long as they are all equal contributors to the build.
3. Any non-redstone builds must function soley to support the farm.
E.g., a storage facility or base structure.
Please no building just for the sake of building. We have multiple other survival worlds where you can build whatever you please.
4. World eaters are not permitted.
World eaters are flying redstone machines that sweep across an area, dropping TNT as they go. These machines can cause massive damage to the landscape and are therefore banned.
TNT can be used in redstone for other purposes, however. For example, automatic tree farms are an acceptable use of TNT in redstone.
5. No Enderdragon or Wither farms
These farms are considered highly overpowered and are not allowed.
6. Please do not complain about the lag
Due to the nature of the world, redstone is likely to be laggy. (Redstone machines tend to have that effect). When you enter Redstone please be aware of this don’t complain about the lag, there’s nothing we can do about it.
To show you have read these rules, you must write this passphrase in your request for Journeyman rank: I won’t make clocks that say on.
Good luck!
Getting started in redstone
First thing you’ll want to do is find a location for you base. It’s recommended you run far away from spawn to find an empty place to build, and don’t build too close to any bases or structures built by other players.
The location you choose will depend on what kind of farm you plan to make, but in general flat areas (such as plains biomes or deserts) are ideal for most farms. Oceans also work, you can build a large floating platform above the water and build on top of that.
If you plan to make a specific type of farm that uses naturally generated structures (for example, a guardian farm which needs an ocean monument, or a pillager farm built around a pillager tower) you’ll need to explore the world until you find the structure you need.
Claiming land
Once you’ve found a place for you base, you’ll need to claim the land before you can start building.
Grab a golden shovel and right-click on the ground where you want one corner of your claim to be. Then, walk diagonally to the opposite corner of the claim, and right-click on the ground again. If you did it right, you should see green text appear in chat like this:
You will also see gold and glowstone blocks indicating the edges of your claim.
Visit this page to learn more about land claiming.
Starting your base
Now that you’ve got a claim, you can start building.
If you’re new to making redstone or mob farms and don’t know how to build them, you can look up tutorials on Youtube. There are tons of great videos that show step-by-step walkthroughs on how to build just about any type of redstone farm.
Since redstone shares an inventory with all the main survival worlds, you can use materials you’ve collected from any of the other survival worlds (i.e., Paradise, GreyHavens, Eriador, and Miningworld).
Have fun!
