Clock Circuits

REPEATER CLOCK

A loop of repeaters that circulates a signal pulse endlessly. The clock period equals the sum of all repeater delays in the loop. Simple to build and adjust.

When to Use

Timed dispensers, automatic farms, pulsing redstone lamps, periodic pistons.

Materials

  • ▸2+ Redstone Repeaters
  • ▸Redstone Dust
  • ▸Solid blocks

How to Build

  1. 1Place 2 or more repeaters in a loop, all facing the same direction around the circuit.
  2. 2Connect them with redstone dust between each repeater.
  3. 3Set each repeater to your desired delay (1-4 ticks each).
  4. 4Give the circuit a pulse from a button or lever to start the clock.
  5. 5The signal will loop continuously. Period = sum of all repeater delays.

Variants

  • ▸2-repeater clock (fastest stable: 2+ ticks per cycle)
  • ▸4-repeater clock (adjustable period from 4-16 ticks)
  • ▸Hopper clock (use hoppers to create very long periods)
  • ▸Torch-based clock (alternating torches for 2-tick clock)
