Circuit is timing stable. The signal propagates through repeaters and inverters in 850 milliseconds (17 game ticks), providing safe delay margins for reliable piston double-extenders.
๐ Game Ticks vs Redstone Ticks in Minecraft 1.21+
Game Ticks (20 per second = 50ms)
The Minecraft server loop processes entity movement, crop growth, and water flow every 50 milliseconds (1 game tick). Pistons extend in exactly 3 game ticks (150ms).
Redstone Ticks (10 per second = 100ms)
Redstone logic only updates every 2 game ticks (1 redstone tick = 100ms). Repeaters add 1, 2, 3, or 4 redstone ticks (100ms to 400ms). Rapidly cycling a redstone torch faster than 3 redstone ticks causes the torch to smoke and burn out temporarily!
