Setting up precise delays for farms or piston doors usually means leaving the game window to calculate hopper clock items or tick conversions. With Redstone Arithmetics Mod, you can find exact item totals directly in your chat log.
Calculating Hopper Clock Items
1. Press T or / to open your chat box.
2. If you know your desired cycle length in real-world seconds, type /calculator hoppertimer <seconds> and press Enter.
3. Read the result in your chat log and place that exact number of items into your hopper timer.
4. If your redstone contraption relies on exact game ticks instead of seconds, run /calculator hoppertimerticks <ticks> to get the required item count.
Converting Seconds and Game Ticks
When tuning repeaters or other tick-based redstone components alongside your clock, you can convert time units on the fly:
- Run
/calculator secToTicks <seconds>to turn a real-world duration into Minecraft game ticks. - Run
/calculator tickToSec <ticks>to see how long a tick total lasts in real-world seconds.
If you make a typo while entering numbers, the command safely catches invalid inputs without crashing your game. You can also run /calculator help at any time to review the command options in-game.
