Your First 4 Redstone Builds
All this talk about the components and concepts and rules of Redstone
has probably got you a bit overwhelmed, but don't worry: actually do-
ing a little Redstone will help you tremendously in figuring out just
what all that information means, as well as how to use it to make Mine-
craft even more awesome than it already is. So, young crafters, here's
the part where we stop just telling you about Redstone and start ac-
tually makin' some cool stuff! These are your first five true Redstone
builds, starting from the simplest Redstone doorbell and going through
an awesome-lookin' Piston wave that's a great and easy way to impress
those who don't have your Redstone skills.

These builds are designed to be super simple to build, in order to get you comfortable with
using Redstone, yet they'll also teach you important lessons about Redstone and its proper-
ties. The builds also incorporate a few more complex properties and functions of Redstone,
such as a NOT Gate and a clock, which you'll become much more familiar with later in the
topic as we get into more complex and difficult Redstone builds.
For now, however, we just want to focus on building the five contraptions here and under-
standing the simple basics of how they work. Later, we'll get into the more complex ideas
behind some of the functions in these builds, but this chapter is all about dipping your toes
into the world of Redstone in the simplest, most pain-free way possible. All you've got to
