An inverter is just about the simplest device you can implement. All you need is redstone dust on the ground leading to a block on the ground. Put a redstone torch on the side of the block opposite the redstone dust. Then add some more dust on the ground past the torch. That's your inverted output.
Holy cow! (and there it is on your circuit). That's super-impressive particularly because you did it on *this* un-moused, un-creative-moded version. Sure puts my 8-bit counter (with only 7 t flip flops) to shame. I haven't done 7-segment digit displays yet, and I very much want to. The only thing that's holding me back from trying is the lack of sticky pistons. I've been a strictly peaceful player so far, so no slimes.
I read briefly about a method to mold large obsidian structures. It's not done one block at a time, and it uses a slightly different interaction between lava and water. I only read it in passing, because I was really looking for other info, but it seemed like something I may want to try at some point, assuming it works in this version of the game.
Did you have it backed up on USB stick or on your xbox live cloud storage at all?
Always. Back. Up..... Golden rule.
I back up my world after every day that I build, it takes only a minute to do, but will save me losing thousands of minutes worth of work .
Yes. In fact, I take it a step further. I ping-pong my backups between 2 memory cards so that I always have the most recent 2 saves backed up. That way, if one save is corrupted by the game itself (and then that corruption gets copied to the latest backup), I still have a good file to return to.
Become a redstone junkie and see what you can make. Then see how compact you can make it. Then see it you can't expand the ideal into others. I cleared an area behind my house off, and have been using the dirt to make "models" of future redstone projects. I see what I can do with the wiring. Sometimes I just make little circuits to see if I can. Invert a signal for no reason, then invert it back just to know that I know what I'm doing. My favorite thing is learning how to make piston breaks for a signal. Like, using sticky pistons attached to blocks and being extended as a natural part of the line. Then you can make all sorts of default "e-stops" for your machines. I went overboard one time....had a twin lever control for a 2X2X2 piston door. It would open the first set sideways, the second up and down. So each lever could open it, or close it. But I needed a way to break either levers signal so the door would conceal itself again regardless of which side you were on. So I made twin breaks. Needless to say, I was wiring my tail off and what it amounted to was that you needed to have each switch correctly set inside AND out just to make it work the way it was supposed to anyway. Oh, and it never actually solved the bloody initial problem.
But...it was fun. Failing with redstone is more fun than succeeding with house building.
Deja vu! Just yesterday, I decided to use most of the basement of my largest building (17x8x4, leaving the 'L' offshoot alone for other stuff) to see what I could learn without screwing up the landscape. I quickly arrived at a 5-clock, and connected some note blocks to the circuit with repeaters in between to act as delay. They're playing the Close Encounters 5-tone ditty now.
Next, I read up some more on circuitry, and discovered a redstone torch can power the block directly above. So I sent a pulse up some block steps and planted a redstone torch just below the 1st floor of the building. Then I went up to the 1st floor and planted another such torch on the floor block above the one in the basement. It works. Now I have a clock pulse above ground, while the blocky circuitry is completely out of sight in the utility basement. This is pretty cool, and finding uses for it will keep me entertained for a while.
