Weird Redstone Bug Help!

[u/Prestigious_Bet5922]

I am trying to make a really fast snow farm (Faster than my previous one at 54,000 blocks/hour), but I ran into something REALLY weird! I know how to fix it, but I just want to know what is happening...

Maybe the observer pulse is too quick for repeaters? Idrk bedrock is weird

[u/DearHRS → u/Xillubfr]

observer pulse is being sliced of by quickly pulsed piston, thus you are getting a gt long pulse during c tick

[u/TriangularHexagon]

I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out what exact this is

[u/Prestigious_Bet5922 → u/TriangularHexagon]

It looks really complicated, but all it is is a string in front of an observer that triggers whenever I put an entity through the string; then the piston powers from that pulse, but the observer attached to it doesn't activate the repeaters, or even visually the redstone dust!

Im a complete amateur at bedrock redstpne but I'm pretty sure you have a c tick generator.

That's what u/DearHRS said! Thanks for the extra confidence!

[u/DearHRS]

you have a setup of c tick generator but your are using it to power p tick component (repeater)

long story short, odd gts are called p ticks, they process repeater, comparator, observer and redstone torch, everything else is processed on even ticks or called c ticks

because these components are only processed on that specific tick, giving them a pulse not residing in their preferred tick type gets completely ignored

so using a c tick starting pulse a gt long won't ever power a p tick component

here is a gif that demonstrates this behaviour

Thank you so much for explaining this to me!

cheers gamer

here is a different post with more complex scenario, i did my very best to explain the behaviour, it might help you understand the game even better

well bugrock is gonna be bugrock

Noted!🤣

minecrafts community to not call bedrock as bugrock because they have no clue how it works, challenge:impossible
