My #1 basic redstone device is an automatic egg dispenser. Make a pulse circuit next to a dispenser with a comparator that will stop the circuit if the dispenser is empty. Dump in eggs; walk away while they get spit out and converted to chicks. Chicks without clicks, you might say.

Anyways, I usually make automatic farms, or cool fancy front entrances, but these both require pistons and iron. I would like to see more suggestions though!
1. Chicken farm - this is pretty much what Zeno410 said, but just to make it more clear I'll say that it can also breed chickens, kill and cook them completely automatically! It basically goes like this: Chickens in a top pen lay eggs which are shot out with dispensers (there are ways to make dispensers automatically shoot items as soon as they enter their inventory). Some eggs will become chicks. Due to the design of the farm the babies will be safe from lava, while the adults will burn. Hoppers in the floor take the cooked chicken and eggs to storage.
2 - Automatic farm - Place a bucket of water 2 blocks high and note where it flows. Replace the area the water touches with farmland and your choice of crops. Place water for irrigation where you like (I put one in the centre, and one 5 blocks away from each side. A half slab is needed onto of each water source to keep the water flowing). Then put a dispenser 2 blocks above the half-block in the centre, put a water bucket in it and wire it with redstone to the place where you want to harvest. Connect this to a button.
3 - Cow farm - Basically consists of a breeding cell where the babies are washed into a killing chamber and the adults remain above. Once the babies grow up you can either kill and cook them with lava, or water for drowning to give raw beef, which can be traded with villagers. Use dispensers for either one.
Best things to do with redstone is automate things that are really boring to do. A nano farm is a great starter redstone project (if you have spare bonemeal). You could either try design one yourself or there are lots of tutorials on youtube.
I always enjoy making a real simple automatic door.
That's the problem, when ever I make an automatic door, then escape from zombies, Etc, the pressure plates activate the door for them.
I need a door lock or something, but all the tutorials wont work or they are outdated, if anyone can suggest me a proper tutorial I will be
really thankful.
Hey, so I've started wanting to get into red-stone mechanics. And the first thing I wanna do is build a retractable staircase that starts off already open. I have a farm built under my house and I've given myself very little space for reason being, I like small homes. I've always been a studio apartment type of person. So I have a single space stairway that goes down 4 block heights. (The top stair can be ignored as it's surrounded by 2 walls and a door) http://prntscr.com/itg6k2
I took a screenshot of the stairway in question, I'm willing to move things if need be to make this work. But you see I have a small trash chute behind the stairway that allows me to drop trash into the water that doubles as a source of infinite water AND a farm spot in the corner all in one. So I walk around to that spot to get my newly grown crops, throw away what I Don't need, maybe get a bucket of water if needed, then turn around and BAM I'm met with a thing of stairs. Granted I have the border around the sides of the farm to walk on but you know how the game works, you jump too much near a crop and the crops a gonner. It's extremely frustrating. So I'd like to build a retractable staircase using my current setup where I step on a wooden pressure plate or press a simple button, that temporarily pulls the stairs down to give me a path back to the base of the stairs, they then go back up, and I can go about my day.
I honestly don't know if this can be done given the amount of space I have given myself already. But I'd like to at least give it a try. Please? Could you help me out?
I'd also like to do something similar but in the reverse for a second staircase leading to space under the farm for storage and where the trashcan I built is set (i do the old cactus trashcan since it takes up the least space and is the simplest trash can out there to make) http://prntscr.com/itga9o (Top of the second staircase it's an L shape but I only really need the beginning of the stairs to be retractable not the bottom half) http://prntscr.com/itgah8 (room below the farm empty for now with only the glass chute to the trash can and the bottom part of the stairs)
I'm not gonna say I'm a pro at Minecraft in the least because obviously, i'm not. I'm just trying to have some fun with the game and stuff right now. But I'd very much like help please? :3
One of the most useful Redstone contraptions for me is an "industrial incinerator". This is similar to Design Four in the Mumbo Jumbo video posted above by Blues22475. I make mine using a downward-facing Dispenser which casts the items I want to incinerate into a 1x1 block of lava which is dug about 3 blocks down from the face of the Dispenser. I generally surround the lava with Obsidian. I use a Trapped Chest to deposit the trash into, so that if I accidentally put my Diamond Sword into it, I can easily get it back out safely before closing the lid!
This Redstone contraption is very handy when you have, for instance, a Wheat farm, and you're harvesting more Wheat Seeds than you know what to do with. Rather than storing them up, or dumping them somewhere to despawn naturally, I put them into the industrial incinerator. In the later part of your world, once you have lots of Iron, you can even connect the industrial incinerator up to a Hopper line, and send trash to it from all over your developed region, automating it with an "item sorter" style Redstone circuit. Be sure to mark the Hopper line somehow (maybe surrounding it with coloured Concrete) to remind yourself that this particular hopper line leads to the incinerator, and not back to your main item sorter and mass storage!
Learning how to make basic Redstone circuits is a great skill. I have a whole Creative Mode superflat world dedicated to showing off examples of different Redstone circuits I've come across, including a Sign for each, with the creator's name and/or a YouTube URL. There are often many ways to achieve the same result, and you may even invent one that suits your specific needs. If so, add it to your library and share it with the player community! Having your own library of Redstone circuits in Creative Mode is handy as a reference; then, when you want to build something in your Survival Mode world, you can assemble the necessary circuits together from information in your library.
Hi, I'm Augur and I'm from New Zealand (NZ). Just call me "Augur". I'm an older person playing Minecraft Xbox 360 Legacy Console Edition without Xbox Gold (no online gaming, sorry), so please don't hate on the old. 😄
I'm going to attempt to describe my trash compactor design, as I could find no video tutorials specifically for this design, and I'm too shy and embarrassed to make one.
Materials needed:
1 Trapped Chest.
1 Hopper
1 Dropper
1 Comparator
2 repeaters
5-ish Redstone dust.
Place the dropper facing down into the lava, with the hopper feeding into it and the trapped chest on the hopper.
Take the comparator output of the dropper, run it into a repeater, and dust around back to the comparator on one side, and dust into a repeater into a block on the other side.
So if your're looking down at it: D= Dropper/ C= Comparator/R=Repeater/U=Redstone dust/B= Any old block

This is nearly always the first redstone contraption I make in a survival setting. :3
Followed closely by a trash compactor that uses a dropper to fire things into lava.

Thank you for the ideas people!!! keep on bringing them. Redstone is actually kind of hard to figure out on your own, but i bet the possibilities are insane.
1: Auto Chicken farm. Start with chickens on a hopper to collect eggs while getting other materials, but then hook it up to a dispenser and auto cooker. Easy food right off the bat.
2: Auto Smelter. (Again hoppers) Start simple, but working up to an 8 furnace array is a life saver.
3: mob farms, either using spawners or dark rooms.
4: nano-farms are handy. (But chew through bonemeal)
5: tree farms! Much more complex, but sooooo handy!
There are some complications, such as me not having any sticky pistons and not having a lot of iron.
What can I make with the small amount of iron/redstone that I have?

You want these emeralds? Too bad! These are MY emeralds!
I don't care if you have a egg or dragon in your signature. I'm not gonna click it.

That's not redstone, you can make one without it.

Question you have on redstone? Feel free to pm me here, or on my Youtube account.

well the creations you guys put are quite advance redstone, so I'm going to ask what dont you not have Chemaydacrafta.
Cant remember something useful then compass and clock.
Or search for redstone creations you will find plenty ideas.
what would be better then a simple leaver door?
