Community Report – January 2021
January was a slow month, my new computer arrived on the 7th and I posted my only video on the 8th. Real life got real and I didn’t have much time to spend on the channel until the last week or so. At that point I decided to start some larger, behind the scenes, community improvement projects. I upgraded my server hosting plan to accommodate additional servers, and laid out some plans for improving the website. Most of my time in game was spent working on my redstone challenge map.

Other Great Community Resources
While it’s not exclusively about redstone, Dissecting Minecraft is a must watch series for anyone looking to get into redstone. It covers the basics all the way up to advanced topics such as instant wire and tile ticks.
Sometimes it seems like it moves really fast through topics, and at times you may feel overwhelmed. That’s ok, it covers a huge amount of information, and you aren’t expected to remember everything right away. Half the battle is simply knowing what is possible.
