Minecraft Java Edition Minecraft Redstone – Comparison of Two Systems in Minecraft

Since there is no answer I will show how to make a random unit:

If you are not ready to have your mind blown go to conclusion at the end.

Take a 3-clock unit and set an output somewhere, now since this is only 3-clock it's gonna burn at RANDOM place so the output will be random. Like this:

Now you probably don't want it to change so much but only when it stopped, well.. idk if anyone used it(probably used), anyway I've made it my self, I call it "signal cuter" the point is to split the signal into 2 signals: first contain odd number of "not gates" and the second even, and then merge them into "or gate", the result is: when a signal is sent, it's gonna stay as the output until the second path will cut the signal and that way no matter for how long you set the input to "on", the output gonna be "on" only for length(second path) - length(first path) "ticks".

in this example, all signals that are more then 3 ticks length are shorted to 3 ticks long. On same property you can make a "signal protector" also made by me :), it's not passing signals less than X long all the difference is that both paths first and second need to be odd length and the X is equal to length(second path) - length(first path), but the signal become shorter then the original signal length. Example:

FINALLY the conclusion: so now you can take the a 3-clock and to chain it with the "signal protector" with X=2 and THIS WILL BE STABLE!! It won't throw junk until the 3-clock burned and the result is stable, the next random will be generated after the next 3-clock burn, if you want to make it faster just make many units of that.

THE RESULT:

It's still throw junk in "Redstone Simulator" but in "Minecraft" this works great! Please if you're passing on this technique, leave the names "Signal Cutter" and "Signal Protector".

Minecraftaddict's "Extreme Delay Redstone Timer" is the longest delay circuit I know of. (But I can see from the comments that you've already found it). However, directly using this circuit won't work with a light sensor output, since the output of a light sensor would be 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off.

The solution to this is to connect the output of your light sensor to a falling-edge and rising-edge monostable circuit that are OR'd together.

This is an image of a rising-edge trigger on the left, and a falling-edge trigger on the right. You would connect the A inputs together – to the output of your light trigger. When the A input is turned on, the Q output of the left circuit pulses. When the A output turns off, the Q output of the right circuit pulses. Because of this, you can connect the two Q output wires together (ORing them) to have an output that sends a signal whenever the light-sensor changes.

However, these circuits are designed to make a very short pulse. Because Minecraftaddict's delay circuit comes with a built-in pulse shortener, you will want to send a slightly longer signal to it. To do this, just add more repeaters to the edge triggers (add an extra repeater to when the current repeaters are). Leave the repeaters that should be on the first setting like that, but change the repeaters that should be on the second setting (according to the image) to the fourth setting.
