In this article, we will look at various mechanisms in Minecraft. They are both simple and more complex, requiring a lot of time for construction and a huge amount of resources. In order to see all the mechanisms in Minecraft, just go into the creative mode of the game, open the "Inventory" and click on the "Mechanisms" tab.
In Minecraft, the mechanics of the game are such that with the help of all sorts of blocks, simple mechanisms, you can build both ordinary designs and more technological ones. If the former will simply please the eye, the latter, for example, will also be responsible for opening the doors, raising the elevator or collecting items.
Consider the various mechanisms in Minecraft that game developers offer to implement our ideas:
- Red dust. Material that is mined in mines at great depths. Used to supply electricity to other objects and mechanisms, acting as wiring. It is also added to recipes to create some simple mechanisms.
- Red dust torch. Acts as a power source. Various mechanisms in Minecraft rarely do without it, and in some situations it is simply irreplaceable. With the help of a torch, very complex electrical circuits are constructed from red dust.
- Doors, iron and wood. If you can open a wooden one with a simple click of the right mouse button, then to open the iron one you will need additional devices, for example, a button or a lever connected to the door with red dust.
- Pressure plate. It is made of wood or other solid materials; it serves to activate mechanisms when an object is placed on them or thrown.
- Repeater. Enhances the signal if a chain of red dust has a length of more than 15 blocks. It is also capable of delaying the signal or directing it in one direction.
- Pistons. They are needed for moving blocks, they are often used in complex structures like elevators, traps, farms. They are involved in the operation of an AC source (in its circuit instead of a torch of red dust, inverters based on pistons are used).
- Dynamite. It is used to create sufficiently effective (if you correctly calculate the time of the explosion) traps, as well as to destroy blocks (you can make a complex structure that will shoot arrows or dynamite itself over long distances). It is activated by levers, buttons, pressure plates.
- Distributor. It is used to dispense various items to the player. It can also be used to build a rather dangerous trap in the form of a machine gun from arrows.
- Note block. If you conduct an electric circuit of red dust to it, you can get various sounds. It is also used as an alarm: for example, when you press the pressure plate, it will start to make sounds.
So, we examined various mechanisms in Minecraft. Based on this information, you will have an initial idea of them and will be able to put this knowledge into practice. Of course, the list is incomplete. The game is often updated, skillful players come up with increasingly complex designs, and new mechanisms in Minecraft appear with each next patch.
