I just got Minecraft recently, and this was perfect! I was so damn curious, and you helped me out 100%. This gave me information I didn't know, that I wanted, as well as the automated cart. ^.^
Dude, you're a really good teacher. I mean, I knew all the redstone stuff already, but still, if I was completely new to minecraft, that would have been REALLY Helpful.
I think the reason the track acts differently when it is powered or unpowered has to do with the South-west rule. It's something you should look into if you havent already.
@Tang63 If you actually take the car off of the track, there is no way that the game can detect that and place a cart. However, you can just leave carts on tracks at all times and either make a closed loop or make loops at the ends of the track, then have boosters keeping it moving at all times.
I wish the boosters still worked. I always liked the concept of stored momentum, as it really located real physics to a degree. The modern concept of constantly resetting after x distance doesn’t have the same feeling.
@screener545 wrong. if you place redstone on top of a block and then next to the block the two redstone wires automatically connect. So it takes two pieces of redstone either way. When the torch is placed on the side of a block, it will provide power to redstone one block away, meaning you actually have to place one less redstone when you do it his way.
@TheMossink Minecraft is directional. There are things, like redstone, which vary their behavior depending on the direction. The solution: place a NOT in the circuit. A NOT just inverts the signal and is composed of any block and a redstone torch on the side that the current is travelling (current travels in one direction in minecraft, ie, in > out, no circuits like IRL)
@JosePablo24 has something(or nothing) to do with transference of momentum where the main cart stores the magnitude of the energy in the boosting cart and gradually uses the stored energy until it eventually runs out. Just enjoy the aftermath, you dont need to know specifics. :]
@QuackQuackBang If you want to hide the redstone below the surface and also try to make the track switch work from below you have to use a redstone torch under your switch
@middaystars ues the booster he shows in his 3rd vid.. the one where the cart goes up the hill, so that both carts actually stop, That way the booster will work FoREVER!! trust me
I miss the old door sounds, they had so much more impact And when you consider most things back then would probably have been mined with stone tools, every man-made caver looks so much more impressive Learning new things was so much more fun than already knowing things.
@EpicVocieCrack I was going to make the same comment. I haven't been able to find any updated Minecart tutorials. The new updated beta versions fixed the 'booster glitch' I was up all night trying to make a Cart system that worked.
@elephono73 INVedit is a program that you can use to add items to your inventory. I recommend looking at the minecraft forums or videos around youtube.
2:50 In fact, redstone wire will, in my experience, climb up a "covered" block like that (that is, having another block touching the corner) if you wire up the block and cover it afterwards. Then again, I only tested with stairs, so I could be wrong with actual blocks.
When you make an inverter I noticed you run redstone wire over the top of the block. That's unnecessary, you only have to apply power to the opposite side of the block to affect the redstone torch. This also allows you to run redstone wiring through a wall without the need for punching a hole through it.
Hi Bob, I really love your tutorials and I hope you keep up the great work, I do have one question for you though....I have my set up exactly how you have yours, but my carts on the cart loop eventually run out of steam and stop looping infinitely, I was wondering if you could tell me where to place my carts initially so that they start off in the right place? I have shortened my track, made everything as tight as It can be and still cant seem to get it, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
AlmtyBob please help me. If i use the redstone dust on the ground next to the corner as shown in 3.56 my track keeps riding in circles. What have i done wrong? Is it something with the south west rule? And how can i fix it? Thanks for reading :)
Is there a way we can send the cart back into the loop once we're done with it? I dont even have the game yet... im going to get it soon, but I just love all the different mechanics. subbed btw.
I love how this video - the sound, the picture quality, the narrator - seems like a 1950's science video from rural America. Awesome! Left a like :)
Well, replaying alpha in 2020 and gotta say.. this is very helpful. No padding, no fluff, just straight to the point guide
You did a fine job making redstone power make sense, even though that wasn't the main focus of your video. Nice job.
These tutorials are very well done, I feel as though you might be a professional tutorial writer. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
I like how that you use both pictures and voice, makes me understand better
Glad to finally see a tutorial that was planned out instead of someone just narrating as they build a contraption... Very informative
This has to be the best tutorial I've ever seen on youtube, for any game. Excellent work!
Dude, you explained a lot of stuff very clearly in only a few minutes. Great skills!
@TheZaius he would not want us to mourn him. He was a pioneer in redstone technology, and he believed in taking risks.
Good job, helpful and straightforward tutorial.
Good idea putting in that bit about inverters.
Nice.
I think I'll understand a lot about Minecraft before I get it, thanks to these vids.
Thanks for putting these tutorials together! They are indispensable!
I like how you recorded your voice. It's like a 90s instructional video.
Thanks man, you have such a clear and amazing way of presenting stuff. So clear and concise too. Great job! good examples.
Excellent tutorial.
Much better than most where someone lazily threw it together, stumbling over words.
I just got Minecraft recently, and this was perfect! I was so damn curious, and you helped me out 100%. This gave me information I didn't know, that I wanted, as well as the automated cart. ^.^
Wow. This is way better than the other instructional minecraft vids I've watched. Nice work, @AlmtyBob!
yah this is probably the best tutorial i've seen too. and i didn't know you could use red stone dust that way or what presher where actully used for
As soon as I saw the booster, I recognized instantly what would be happening. I'm so happy for myself :D
That was incredibly helpful and mildly entertaining. It's really really good.
This is like school all over again >.<
Thanks dude. I finally get how to use redstone.
Sacrifices are needed to accomplish greater goals or new discovers...
RIP Wooly
Dude, you're a really good teacher. I mean, I knew all the redstone stuff already, but still, if I was completely new to minecraft, that would have been REALLY Helpful.
Excellent tutorial sir, you broke it down into really easy to understand pieces. Thank you.
Poor Wooly. He gave his life to teach us minecraft.
I like how your inventory makes you look like a regular joe
I think the reason the track acts differently when it is powered or unpowered has to do with the South-west rule. It's something you should look into if you havent already.

The booster tracks work again
this is probably the best tutorial i've seen
RIP wooly, thank you for your sacrifice to science.
@fleabag500 It's a Double Inverter, it just inverts the power two times. People typically use this to carry the power over long distances.
R.I.P Wooly. We miss you.
YOU SIR YOU ARE AWESOME, really really nice tutorial, very well explained and there was no wasted time at all in the whole video!
@davedabrogan I felt like I was in orientation for a new job, haha. Best tutorial I've seen though!
dude, your awesome. your explaining is so clear, not like other tutorials. everyone sub to him!
I remember watching so long ago to learn how to build a station in my first world. The memories
this is the best tutorial i have ever watched! thank you so much
@screener545

I've just been discovering the joys of minecarts, so this was really helpful. Thanks!

best instructional video ever
Pretty easy to understand tutorial. I'd double thumbs up it if I could!
Poor Wooly...
Great tutorial it's really easy to understand. Thanks for making em :D
@QuackQuackBang

Very good tutorials... i'm sure i'll mess around and try to make a faster way into my mine :)
@rugbyholstebro You were very easy to understand. And thanks for the tip :D
This video is extremely well done and very helpful. Thank you!
dude love your mining area
R.I.P. Wooly.. we all had a good laugh :D BTW awesome tutorial!!
great video this is exactly what i needed to help me this is the best minecart tutorial in all of youtube!!!
idc if you never make another vid...you got my sub :P good tutorial
finally a simple tutorial
@middaystars
ues the booster he shows in his 3rd vid.. the one where the cart goes up the hill, so that both carts actually stop, That way the booster will work FoREVER!!
trust me
I miss the old door sounds, they had so much more impact
And when you consider most things back then would probably have been mined with stone tools, every man-made caver looks so much more impressive
Learning new things was so much more fun than already knowing things.
Awesome tutorial! Well planned, and some really nice tricks. Thanks! Planning on making more? If so, I will subscribe.
@EpicVocieCrack
I was going to make the same comment. I haven't been able to find any updated Minecart tutorials. The new updated beta versions fixed the 'booster glitch' I was up all night trying to make a Cart system that worked.
You forgot water, lava but ehh epic tutorials
@ewinthorn696 They go up to 15 blocks.When you hit the limit just use the NOTNOT gate,or inverter (the new thing).
R.I.P Wooly, we will alway's remember you.
@elephono73 INVedit is a program that you can use to add items to your inventory. I recommend looking at the minecraft forums or videos around youtube.
@TheXraxa They haven't worked since 1.6 and will never work again. Powered rails were implemented that make this a million times easier and simpler.

thx m8, helped me alot in a time of need :)
I love finding 13 year old minecraft redstone videos :)
Thanks man this helped alot, great vid!
@JeromeBertrem1 you can make a return track it will still work with a track going in to it :)
Noooo! Wooly! Good Detail. I like It!
Actually, a redstone torch, on the side of a block, provides power upward as well.
The combination of clear description and simple example visuals is shockingly lacking in classrooms across the country.
I escaped SO MANY CREEPERS thanks to you.
this is brilliant
@Badhabitsjay a Furnance + a couple of irons is not as costly as gold everywhere.
is there a difference between having a redstone torch next to a wire and having a lever on "on" next to a wire?
No sheep were hurt during the making of this video. The sheep beside the TNT was only a prop.
Thanks for doing these vids, really helpful!
@ZenyyHD Dig right down low. You'll find all the good stuff including red stone down there.
@Aroobydoo thx a lot. I'm experimenting myself and its working out... just takes a while and a lot of iron xD
how do you manage to place that refined stone without turning into cobblestone whilst obtaining it?
If you give power to a lever turned off, will the lever be activated and send out power?
@Zheet7 Yea, the dust breaks immediately when you hit it (like paintings)
This helped a ton. Thanks!

best tutorial ever!
I just tried to build a booster and I think the new update has broken boosters. In other words they fixed the bug that allowed them :(
RIP Wooly lol, thanks, subbed, keep em comin!
You are awesome.
Very helpful tutorial.
fantastic 'how to' video!
@sdvman10 it is man i have looked and there is no one as good or as helpful as this guy
The inverter repeater is still better than the modern repeater in terms of distance. Properly wired, you can send a signal 32 blocks.
NICE TUTORIAL!!! THANKSS!!
Damn, how can i move the cart??!!
Who the heck can dislike this ? god dammit
loved the tutorial dude Thank you ! i subs!
Oh god I lol'd at the end
