Place two observers facing each other, and they will start constantly ticking each other. If you need something to be constantly firing, this clock is a quick and easy fix. This clock will tick constantly, which can be a bit annoying to your friends or members of your server and can cause a little lag if you use too many. This is probably the easiest redstone clock to make, though it does have some drawbacks.

Place the powered rails with redstone torches next to them to make sure the cart always has plenty of speed.
#Minecraft repeater Activator#
You can place multiple activator rails to trigger multiple machines if you like. Place an activator rail where you would like the redstone signal to be triggered. To make this clock, all you need to do is create a circle of rails for a minecart to travel over. The downside to this scalability is that this clock takes up a lot more space than any other on this list, but it is fairly easy to use if you are new to redstone. As long as you have the materials to make more rails or minecarts, you can scale it up indefinitely. The best and worst feature of this clock is that it is easily scalable.

You can also increase the size of the circuit and add more repeaters to increase the time it takes to activate.Īfter you have the clock up and running, you can connect any other machine you like by just adding a line of redstone dust or repeaters that connect to it. If you are fast enough, the signal will circle around the circuit you have made constantly. You just want the signal to start you do not want it to make it all the way through the circuit. The signal will constantly circulate through the circuit until you break it or something causes it to stop.Īfter you have your circuit created, you will need to place a redstone torch next to one of the pieces of redstone dust. Alternate your repeaters and redstone dust until you have a circuit. You can control the timing for this clock, but it is a bit more difficult than using a hopper clock or minecart clock. It is also the cheapest of all the clocks on this list, but it can also potentially cause the most lag if you are on a server and continue scaling or tiling it. This is probably the most well-known and most popular clock used in redstone development. So if you want your machine to go off every minute, you need to put 150 items into the hoppers. Each item creates a delay of 0.4 seconds. The timing of this clock is controlled by the items you place into the hoppers. You can place as many of these as you like into your build and set each one to fire at a different time. The main feature of this clock is that it is tileable and gives you a lot of control over your timings. It also grants you the most control over your timings. Out of all of the clocks on this list, this one is complex and expensive to build.
