This made me facepalm so hard...

The project depends largely on what’s known in the game as “redstones,” a type of block that transmits another in-game substance called “red stone dust.”

It's just a gigantic piston tape. It's seek time is 6 to 7 MINUTES...

The author has obviously never heard of us.

WIRED... you disappoint me...

This isn’t the first time he has such a contraption in Minecraft. Previously, Littley built a “factory farm” that automatically collects eggs from chickens—”It turned out more gruesome than I expected,” he says—and a complex, rail-based messaging system akin to an email server.

So apparently this kid somehow went from chicken farms and basically roller coasters to fucking storage systems using logic. I'm calling so much bullshit.

Also, could the author have put anymore shit into quotations.

im pretty sure that there is no input system on that thing. he has to place data blocks by hand. then it just outputs on one side. looks like most of it is just timing for the pistons.

yolo 1.3mb in a single plot (it's possible, with much shorter seek time (ish))
