"You're a redstone god": Minecraft player builds a working typewriter in-game

Minecraft has always seen players make the most unique builds and come up with insane ideas using the array of resources available. Redstone is one of the most technical branches in the game and some people have developed a wizard-like mastery over its features. The community is filled with talented builders and technical geniuses crafting some of the most intricate machines in-game.

Redditor u/Vordix_ created a fully working typewriter using an intricate array of redstone machinery. It offers players the ability to create machines and complicated automation using these blocks. The OP shared a video of the mechanical marvel, leaving the community baffled:

Reacting to the post, u/Responsible_Clerk421 accepted the supreme power of the OP, hilariously calling him a redstone god. Redstone is one of the most complicated aspects of Minecraft, so it comes as no surprise that other players and fellow gamers lauded u/Vordix_ for coming up with such a detailed and functional typewriter in the game:

u/faortniteplayer_ZBBR joked that the OP was calling this complicated build simple while they still cannot use a repeater or comparator—referring to the redstone automation blocks in Minecraft:

u/AlexD2003, u/DarchAngel_WorldsEnd, and a few other Redditors jumped onto the bandwagon to jokingly criticize the OP for calling such a complicated typewriter build simple, similar to other comments on the post:

Meanwhile, others wanted the OP to create a showcase video or a tutorial for the redstone-powered typewriter so that others could try and follow suit:

Many were baffled at such an intricate build while a few brave souls ventured into the murky waters of redstone and tried to deconstruct OP's typewriter. One player managed to understand the basic concept of the build, with u/Vordix_ confirming his theory to be true—much to their happiness:

Most Redditors were pleasantly surprised that such a unique and beautiful build could be constructed in Minecraft. Many asked the OP to do a tutorial, while others were still admiring such a detailed replication of the popular typing instrument.

Minecraft builds are known for the painstaking recreating of insane things, ranging from recreating popular landmarks and small cities to a global project of like-minded players that aim to recreate the earth in the game. Redstone continues to play a major part in most of these builds, with players using the blocks to devise powerful machines and automation.

Redstone is one of the most popular elements in Minecraft since it allows players to combine multiple binary-based devices to craft unique builds like the Insta-Kill Auto Turret or even a computer within the game. It allows players to place many functional blocks to direct and regulate their actions.

Redstone has become increasingly popular due to its ability to create simple machines like a nether portal on/off switch or complicated builds, such as resource or mob farms. Redstone has a host of components and individual tools/machines, which can be used to regulate the flow and behavior of redstone power, which runs these devices.

Here are some of the devices that work with the redstone builds:

  • Clock
  • Dispenser
  • Dropper
  • Note Block
  • Observer
  • Piston
  • Powered Rail
  • Redstone lamp
  • Redstone repeater
  • Redstone comparator
