But it is actually not that hard. It only looks intimidating
Honestly, I used to find these contraptions impressive. Then I learned actual programming. Now it just looks like a really terrible programming language to me.
I guess, it’s impressive that someone would have the masochism to voluntarily subject themselves to this. But it might also just be a case of terrible life decisions, which wouldn’t be as impressive.
Having taken basic circuit design, building and and or gates from scratch, and then working up the stack to assembly language… Redstone is not all that bad.
Well, I would call assembly a pretty terrible programming language, too. 😅
I guess, my point is that Redstone is fine for the occasional AND gate or even combination of a few logic gates. But these folks implement whole programs in Redstone, manually building tons of logic gates and having to invest hours to correct even tiny mistakes in their design. That just sounds more like a job than fun gameplay.
(I guess, this is their job in lots of cases, but you know, they still could’ve chosen to create different content.)
People do wood-carving, knitting and painting and other hobbies with minute details.

HermitCraft is leaking into my life more than I ever imagined a Minecraft smp ever would
i stop paying attention to hermitcraft and now like 3 years later it’s really popular and everyone is talking about it
What’s the prevailing consensus on Iskall now? I read an article on the drama a few months ago, he used to be one of the main guys I would watch every episode from (alongside Grian, Mumbo, and Xisumavoid)
He made a whole video about it. I stopped watching him after that video. Some of the phrases he used didn’t sit well with me. Who knows what actually happened but he gave me a not great vibe.
Yeah, I feel like if it was actually not that bad he could have been a lot more open and communicative around the whole thing.
I love Mumbo.
