How do people make computers in Minecraft? Something something redstone stuff?

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago

Yes you got it ! By combining redstone elements you can make all the basic logic gates. You combine logic gates to make binary adders, multipliers etc... You can store data as inventories, like for example a chest with 5 slots filled won't give the same signal as a chest with 3 slots filled. And finally you have various elements that can light up when powered so you make displays out of that.

What can you actually all do within the context of the game and its limitations?

Like what beneficial ends can it help achieve?

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, it is functionally useless in the context of the game, more of a "because they can" kind of deal.. That is why you'll almost exclusively see that kind of things in Creative mode - it eats up tons of resources for no discernible end.
