Steve recently opened a shop, and it received rave reviews during its business hours. However, the business was so good that supplies ran out, and he needed to go on an adventure to restock. Doing so would mean he couldn’t keep the shop open. So, the editor had a bright idea and designed a fully automatic vending machine for him.
This way, he could continue selling goods even while exploring~ So, how exactly is it made? Let’s follow the editor and take a look together!
Version: Bedrock Edition
The core part today involves using item frames to select output signal strength and employing comparators to provide output signals for the purpose of exchanging goods.
Now let’s officially start the construction phase! First, place one ordinary block and two connected hoppers as shown below.
Place a redstone comparator on top of the ordinary block.
Next, place ordinary blocks in the area marked by the red line.
Then, place redstone dust and two redstone repeaters facing opposite directions as shown (both set to the second tick delay).
Place two redstone torches at the indicated positions.
Place three ordinary blocks in the area marked by the red line, then place a repeater, a comparator, and redstone dust on top. (Pay attention to the placement direction~)
Then place five ordinary blocks in the indicated area.
Place a comparator and redstone dust next to the left ordinary block at the marked positions respectively.
Next, place three columns of ordinary blocks, each 8 blocks long. The middle column should be one block lower in height.
Place a redstone repeater in the area marked by the red line.
Place seven ordinary blocks on top of the redstone repeater in the middle position.
Fill the top of all the ordinary blocks in the first row with redstone dust to connect the circuit.
Then, using the first row repeater as a reference, place a row of ordinary blocks one block higher and in front of it.
Place redstone torches at the indicated positions.
Place a row of ordinary blocks above the redstone torches, then place dispensers on top of the ordinary blocks at the corresponding positions.
Then place four ordinary blocks in the area marked by the red line.
To allow goods to be transported out, we need to create a water flow track. First, lay the basic framework of the track using glass. (Adventurers can design this freely as long as it doesn’t block the water flow path.)
Remember to leave two spots unsealed for now~ We’ll need to pour water in later.
Next, place two ordinary blocks and three fences in the section marked by the red line.
Then pour water into the track so goods can be transported out smoothly.
Next, place nine item frames. Place an item you like in the middle one to serve as the selector for the desired purchase. Place the eight items for sale in the other frames. Don’t forget to load the corresponding goods into the dispensers~
Finally, place slabs around the hoppers, and connect a large chest to the end of the bottommost hopper. The fully automatic vending machine is now complete! Adventurers, come and see the effect~
First, select the desired item, then throw the currency into the hopper, and wait for the item to drop! Isn’t it very convenient?
Can adventurers make this fully automatic vending machine even more complete? Feel free to share your ideas with the editor. Everyone is welcome to leave a comment and share your thoughts!
