64 Bits 32 Bits 16 Bits Minecraft

[Fortun Bawa]

Chiselsand Bits is a mod that enables you to alter the Minecraft landscape at a much more detailed level. No more are you limited to building with blocks of the same size; Chisels and Bits breaks down each Minecraft block into a 16 x 16 of bits which you can use to achieve incredible levels of detail in your builds.

To get started with Chisels and Bits, craft yourself a chisel (stone, iron, or diamond will work for now). When you look at blocks you will notice a small cube outline at the exact point your cursor is looking at. This cube is a single bit. If you right click anywhere on a block with a chisel, you will remove the bit you are looking at from the block and move it to your inventory. These bits can then be placed again in a different location in the world. Using these tiny blocks, you can create much more detailed builds than ever before.

Scrolling the mouse wheel while holding shift with bits in your hand will change your bit-placing-mode. Alternatively, press and hold left alt with bits in your hand to see all of the modes available to you and access the undo and redo buttons, as well as the place/replace toggle button. When you select bits in hand, text will flash on screen telling you what bit-placing-mode you are in. In order, these are the different modes:

Bit bags can be used to store your bits. It is common when you start working with Chisels and Bits to accumulate a huge variety of bits in your inventory. To make holding all of your different kinds of bits a little easier, you can craft a Bit Bag. A single Bit Bag can hold 63 stacks of bits inside of it where each stack is 2048 bits (of the same type). This means one Bit Bag can store 63 unique bit types, and a total of 129,024 bits.

When you are building with a bit of a certain type and you have a Bit Bag with some bits of that type in your inventory, every time you run out of bits of that type, your Bit Bag will restock you from its supply. Every time you pick up bits, they will automatically go into a Bit Bag in your inventory after they fill up one stack of that type.

When you right click with the Bit Bag in hand, it will open the GUI. Here, you can see all of the bits you have inside your bag. There are also two buttons in the top left. Pressing the top button, the trash button, will delete all bits in the bag. You can also click on this button while holding bits with your cursor to delete only the bits of that type in the bag. The button will ask for a second click for confirmation before permanent deletion. The bottom button, the condense and combine button, will combine any stacks of the same type which are not full. The Bit Bag comes in the base color, as well as 16 other colors.

Place a Bit Saw in a crafting table with any symmetrical block to cut it in half. You can make half slabs (normal) or vertical half slabs (not normal!) out of any symmetrical block in the game. To choose which orientation you cut along, move the Bit Saw around the block in the crafting grid. The Diamond Bit Saw does have durability which is consumed with each use. The default durability is 7980, but the Bit Saw can be enchanted.

Prepare to have your mind blown. Right click on a Chiseled Fluid Bit Tank with a bucket of any liquid to fill it with that liquid. You can now right click on the Bit Tank with an empty hand to get liquid bits of the type which you put into the tank. This is super weird. Placing these liquid bits is exactly the same as placing normal bits except liquids do not behave like liquids unless you place a complete block. Until you place a complete (16 x 16 x 16 bit) block of liquid, the liquid will not flow. This is probably related to how impossibly complicated programming the mod would have been if every 1/16 block of liquid had independent fluid dynamics.

I talked a little bit about chisels in the Basics section, but there is a little bit more to them. There are three types of chisel; stone, iron, and diamond. The stone chisel can only be used on blocks that can be mined with stone tools, the iron chisel can only be used on blocks that can be mined with iron tools, and the diamond chisel can be used on blocks that can be mined with diamond tools. Their respective durabilities are 8384, 293440, and 796480 but they can also be enchanted. Chisels have the same mode switching functionality as bits. When you hold shift and scroll your mouse wheel you can switch the mode your chisel is in. Alternatively, hold left alt to see all of the modes you can select, as well as the undo and redo buttons. Unlike bits, each chisel will remember its own mode.

Right click on a block with a blank Positive Chisel Design to save whatever is in that block to the Chisel Design. You can clear a Positive Chisel Design by placing it in a crafting table. Once you have a Positive Chisel Design with a saved design, you can use it to create more blocks that are identical to the saved one. With the Chisel Design in hand, you can see a preview of the block that is saved wherever you look. You can place as many blocks as you want by right clicking, given that you have enough bits in your inventory.

Chisel Designs also have a GUI which can be accessed by holding left alt. This GUI gives the player access to the undo and redo buttons, as well as 4 different modes and the ability to rotate the saved block along two different axes (plural of axis for non nerds). You can also craft your saved block by placing the Positive Chisel Design into a crafting grid along with the required bits (which can be stored in a Bit Bag).

The Negative Chisel Design is very similar in function to the Positive Chisel Design. Right click on any block to save the shape of the area in that block. Right clicking on other blocks will now carve down that block so that it is the same shape as the saved block. If your initial structure is made of quartz and you right click on a gold block, the gold block will be carved down so that now you have an identical gold version of your quartz structure. All of the bits that were carved away from the block you clicked on will go into your inventory as well.

If you combine a blank Negative Chisel Design with another Negative Chisel Design which has a saved area, you will create a Negative Chisel Design that is the inverse of the saved area (like a cast). Like the Positive Chisel Design, to clear a saved area from a Negative Chisel Design, put it into a crafting grid.

The Mirror Chisel Design does not do anything on its own. Right click a block with the Mirror Chisel Design to save the entire block mirrored across the side that you clicked on. Now, combine the Mirror Chisel Design with a Positive or Negative Chisel Design to get the corresponding Chisel Design for the block you saved the mirror of.

The Tape Measure is a tool which can be used to measure distances. Pressing and holding left alt with the Tape Measure in hand will bring up the Tape Measure GUI. Here, you can select what color you want your markings to be, what mode you want to measure in, and access the undo and redo buttons. Holding shift and scrolling your mouse wheel with the Tape Measure in hand will change the color which you are measuring in. Shift right click with the Tape Measure in hand to erase all measurements you have made.

What you want is a multiplexer or mux. A multiplexer allows you to select from multiple inputs (your latches) using a smaller number of control bits. I have built a quick multiplexer myself since all the tutorials I found on Youtube were long and confusing.This is my 4x2 mux. The red box indicates a simulation of your latches.

2. Build the first two muxes. In front of the redstone torches from step 1, there are repeaters pointing towards the green block. The pistons will select which latch signal is passed through. Now we have two signals to deal with instead of 4. Connect the pistons as shown. This will mean our signals are either 0 and 2, or 1 and 3.

There really is no way of building a computer without knowing how a computer works. The tutorial attempts to explain everything that you need to know but does require a bit of understand here and there of computer science, which is stated in the prerequisites section of each tab. The deepest part we cover is up to IGCSE CS.

Most computers in Minecraft are made of redstone dust, redstone torches, and repeaters, leading into sticky pistons or redstone lamps which are controlled using a series of buttons, levers, pressure plates, etc. Other proposed ideas (not covered) are to use hoppers, mine carts, or boats with redstone.

See chapter 1, Tutorial on Building a Computer, for a detailed tutorial on building a computer in Minecraft and how to expand and improve on the given example. It does not require any extensive knowledge of Computer Science as it will be explained but will delve quite deep into it.

Computers can be used in many ways, from creating a smart house to using it to run an adventure map. However, due to the limitations of computers in Minecraft, stated below, they remain an abstract concept and serve as good tools to understand lower-level concepts of CPU architecture and embedded systems.

The thing that sets apart computers and calculators are that calculators cannot perform multiple instructions in a row without user input. A computer can compare and assess instructions in a flow to perform tasks.
