I really appreciate tutorials like this. When you start to explain why and how components work, it allows redstone novices like me a chance to experiment and expand on the ideas. Thank you.
Agreed I’m a complete noob started a few months back for my son and am slowly picking up the actual uses of red stone so I can make fixes and adjustments myself and explaining the details of it helps a lot
I don't know if you figured this out yet, but you should be able to place the RS Detector Rail 6 blocks from the track end powered rail with the following sequence buried one block deep, starting directly under the detector and leading back to the end: RS Dust, RS Comparator, RS Repeater, Block, RS Torch on side of block, Block, RS Torch on side of block. This would leave that final RS Torch, which is under your end powered rail, normally off, and when the detector sees a load in the cart it lights up the dust, providing a signal to the comparator, through the repeater, to the block with the first torch on it, depowering it, which stops depowering the final torch via the block between them. The distance of the RS signal is the same, so the repeater at max delay should still work. I THINK the RS Dust getting powered through the block the detector rail is on works, but I'm not entirely sure and can't test it right now. Good luck, though. It's fun to play with RS mechanics.
Planned out my building to hold a giant smelter. Started building it out of brick.... ran out of brick and needed to smelt more clay balls. So now I am using a 24 array, sitting in the grass next to the build space, just to build the big one.
Great tutorial overall but it sadly didint work for me :( I did everything step by step but the step at 8:50 just didn't work no matter what I did, the signal was just late all the time
This is great! I tweaked it a little for my build. I buried the track at the end. It stops under a double chest. The minecart has a hopper instead of a chest. This hides the implementation.
Side note. If you are using smokers and/or blast furnaces, don’t go bigger than 8 or so. It will finish the smelt before getting refilled, thus bringing the efficiency down.
Just recently ran into your channel, HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE TEN TIMES A MANY SUBS?? Great work, subtle, simple, well explained and well executed. Keep it up
Great video man. I like that it is actually doable in survival mode as well for people who want to earn achievements in Xbox still. I'll be building this one for sure, thanks man 🙂👍
Beginner mistakes: 1. Bouncing the minecart back right after hopper. This way the last furnace will get fewer items/fuel than others, you should extend the track by at least one more block. 2. Calling a system that the user has to operate with TWO buttons "automatic". Honestly, when I see the word automatic, I assume it is a load-and-forget solution, like, I put items into two chests and get the result in a third one. On the upside: you properly explain how your redstone circuitry works, I appreciate.
Good time to see this video. I just built one and hit a stone wall on how to get even distribution on the furnaces. Haven’t used a chest Minecraft in like 8 years.... I’ve been using a hopper minecart. Problem solved, thanks Prowl!
This worked fabulously in my new 1.18 world! Thank you for the tutorial! I also made a switch to turn off the output so it doubles as an experience collector
I went underneath the output hoppers and put Redstone torches mounted on blocks directly under them, ran a Redstone line over the tops of those blocks and connected it to a switch off to the left side so it'll invert the signal on the torches. Had to use a repeater to increase the strength but it's been working great. It basically just switches it to manual removal of items from the furnaces.
this helped me alot, i watched so many videos and nothing worked and it used so much stuff. But then i saw your video and it was perfect i love it, thank you im subscribing🤩
"Here, we're going to start with the small setup." Some time passes, "And I'm not going to bother making this small, that's up to you and your world." Pretty cringe.
Earned a sub with this one thanks chief, just got back into bedrock after a long time of Java because I have a lot of console friends. Never really did anything like this in years
@@masterdyl101 Thank you download it works great only gives the indicators on the top no arrows on the side. but this will work for now, again thank you
Thank you for the explanation of the detector rail. I was wondering if you had a minecart loader unloader vid? I have looked but...YT...lol. If not may I suggest it for a future tutorial. I would really enjoy not only a good design of one but how it actually works. If not no worries I'll probably watch the next one no matter what. Again, thanks.
I combined the first and second design using second design with Redstone system of the first and it smells iron twice as fast and gets atleast a stack in less than 10 seconds
........you know patience is a virtue. Because i just spent 4 hours doing it the first way you showed, knowing good on well that my base is to small to do all of that, when i could've just waited to the video 🤦🏾♂️🤣. And so other people won't make this same mistake 10:30
Hi, How did you managed to dispatch the materials equaly into each furnace. On my side the cart try to full the first hoppers and did not drop the materials into the last furnaces until the firsts hopper are full.
If a minecart is at rest on a deactivated powered rail, simply powering the rail will not make it move. The minecart must be kickstarted somehow, e.g. by a player pushing it in the desired direction. Aaaand that's why mine doesn't work 😭😭😭
I did this it took me about 20 Minecraft days and night because I didn't sleep and I wasn't really focused on it I just realized I had the stuff and started making it
I work one ofm these into a storage sorter in every world I start usually 5 to 6 long one for gold, silver, cobble, glass and steak then a have a single one separate with just chest on hoppers for everything else just to do a quick dump of stuff not really relevant to what I need. Start with one of these and build the sorter around it as I expand. But your design is a little better than the one I came up with as I have a single chest hooked to the fuel with hoppers I manually feed definitely going to try to work in this design
Yes I used this setup it took me a few days to get setup after I built my base and I'm running 15 furnace it's very nice and I'm using the the setup with the detector rail not as annoying as the lever I just push the button and walk away the system takes care of the rest very nice
I've been waiting for this to post. Just finished my iron farm + villager trading hall from your video and it's working great.
Awesome!

Ye I agree

Thanks man, can't wait to try this. I have a massive build and don't wanna spend time manually loading and unloading furnaces.
Didn't even know what they were before the channel (Detector Rails). Thanks for the video, I always use this one in my survival servers!
Man, I definitely need to build one of these! I’m still smelting everything the slow way lol.
Today is the day. Do it!
this has great merit, I think I see how to fashion a compact auto-stop version also- going to be cake. (but we all know the cake was a lie)
“Place a temporary block there “
Places Netherite block
Bro u deserve more subs man. This helped me soo much in my survival world! I'm definitely coming back to this channel for more tutorials! :D
We will get there! Thanks for the support!
3:35 ignore this it’s a reminder for when I come back
Oki
The 24 furnace array is something i build in all of my bases. It uses this exact same setup and never fails.
Yes. I have a video on this coming out soon
Great video! Question: how do you stop the trap doors in front of the detector rail from activating? Mine open and close when the cart passes. 😅
You can place a redstone torch under it
The best how to build video I've seen
I was wondering also, could you do the redstone system underground? Just to make the building cleaner in it's edges
I don't know if you figured this out yet, but you should be able to place the RS Detector Rail 6 blocks from the track end powered rail with the following sequence buried one block deep, starting directly under the detector and leading back to the end: RS Dust, RS Comparator, RS Repeater, Block, RS Torch on side of block, Block, RS Torch on side of block.

It’s a good tutorial but can you please put in what you need and how much you need of blocks next time please
it depends how how many smelters u want
Rails are turning sideways on the hoppers!!! So aggravating.
Great tutorial overall but it sadly didint work for me :(

I have really bad ADHD and the back and forth on decisions makes it hard for me to follow along. :(
Just set one up in my world. Didn't take long. 7 furnaces. Set up next to the lava farm so fuel is no problem
Thanks for this, I'm at a level on redstone I need to understand the components better. Also, I'm ready to build a good smelting system.
Glad it helped!
using this to recover after a zombie villager took my armor and didnt drop it when cured!
I am blown away. I have been looking for a simple step by step super smelter. You are amazing. Thanks
Side note. If you are using smokers and/or blast furnaces, don’t go bigger than 8 or so. It will finish the smelt before getting refilled, thus bringing the efficiency down.

This channel is amazing. I just found it and subscribed
Thanks!
Wow you are a true legend
Good work, love the series.
Thanks!
I am op in my Minecraft world with iron farm and infinite iron big twist I live in the side of a mountain
Great smelter.
Glad you liked it
I modified it so one switch operates both minecart chests and I even added a on off switch for the auto collect mode
Awesome idea, thx…!
It works awesome!! Love it
Just finished this smelter it's too good and very slick in design!!
This works great, Thank you :)
I can’t get the powered rails to get power by the red stone blocks what am I doing wrong
the minecart chest keeps going even tho there’s no items in it. how can i fix this?
make sure the "Resting" spot is not powered. that needs to be dark unless it gets a signal from the short circuit.
Thanks man you helped me smelt my 7 stack of copper😂
I’m going to use this one I get back on.. I don’t know much about the rails.
Same 😂
Plz make a video on crepper farm which works in bedrock edition 1.16...

Works amazing and only took me an 1 hours cuz of all the iron needed

Do you just put a lever down near the collector chest? How do you do that?

Famous question: would you be so kind to tell me what texture pack you are using? Thx!
I subbed but Plz tell its java edition or bedrock edition....
i have bedrock i made the smelting system and it worked really well
its bedrock, its easy to tell
Nice array it is super simple and easy to expand the array I got a stack of furnaces on this thing super Op
Teach me how to make it stop saying so much unnecessary information
If you want to block for block make things and not actually learn anything about how things work, go find another channel, this one's not for you.
Can you not upload during school? Thanks therealbiget
Haha sorry can't help ya there :)
Thanks to you and blue jay I’m doing good on my world. Love watching you two.
Thanks for the help
hey prowl what texture pack are you using for the hoppers to look that way? Great vid
Thanks, its a texture pack I had made, not available for download yet :)
You can probably get one just like this from bedrock tweaks just look it up
@@masterdyl101 Thank you download it works great only gives the indicators on the top no arrows on the side. but this will work for now, again thank you
the red stone rails are connecting
I leaved my like and sub, nice video, hope you the best
Love your vids
Thanks!

I wanna build this but without a list of materials and dimensions it’s super intimidating and I don’t wanna do guess work :/

Can you extract the xp from furnaces somehow if you turn the hoppers on the bottom off?
Or would that red stone mess with the whole system?
The rails keep connecting any tips?
Im also finding the same problem, anybody?
Same
Break the powered, put regular rails behind it, place down the powered again and then destroy the regular ones.

Nice but will the minecarts stop moving?
How about some redstone bases?

There a trick to places hoppers on stuff? Whenever I try it just tries to use/open stuff.
Playing the on xb1
crouch
My cart won’t jump back even with the 4 tick delay thing
Can you get xp from it to repair tools?
Yep! I should have shown how to lock the hoppers to make it easier to grab the items.
Just put a lever on the furnaces to lock them
Good tutorial, one thing: /gamerule domobspawning off
WOW NICE!
I did this it took me about 20 Minecraft days and night because I didn't sleep and I wasn't really focused on it I just realized I had the stuff and started making it
Really appreciate it I made a 5 fernis system with a charcoal generator
i really like your tutorials and how you start to explain how the redstone works because i was an idiot in redstone ty
My power rail keep on linking up the wrong way, how do I fix it?
You can place blocks above the one its snapping to to cut them off from each other then delete them once they are facing the correct way
Great job on explaining how detector rails work
Does this work on bedrock?
I work one ofm these into a storage sorter in every world I start usually 5 to 6 long one for gold, silver, cobble, glass and steak then a have a single one separate with just chest on hoppers for everything else just to do a quick dump of stuff not really relevant to what I need.

Very underrated, keep grinding
Does anyone know the space needed for this so I can mine one of these out?
The red stone is not turning on both the repeater nor the comparator for me. Therefore it's not making the cart go back and forth. What do I do?...
Very cool content, I'm gunna build it above my auto storage so the smelted blocks are automatically sorted,
It’s not working for some reason. The iron isn’t going in the furnace, it’s just staying in the hopper. Is there a way to fix that?
Make sure the hopper is pointed into the furnace
It turns out I put the coal in the wrong chest
It works great
Yes I used this setup it took me a few days to get setup after I built my base and I'm running 15 furnace it's very nice and I'm using the the setup with the detector rail not as annoying as the lever I just push the button and walk away the system takes care of the rest very nice
Dude thank you this is so helpful
Doesn’t work for me on bedrock for some reason
new sub!!!!!!!
works on minecraft legacy!
This helped me so much and you make it so simple!!!
3 years later and this still works amazing as expected, thank you!
I started a kind of smp and this is about to go at my world spawn and every single one of my bases!!!! Thank you very much!
we gonna keep it simple,...keeps it complicated
Does this work on bedrock?
Yes, just did it on my world
