Build a clock tower with a redstone clock that rings a bell, then time it.

The town is always late. The council wants a tower that rings on time, every time. Your redstone, your rules.

What you’ll build

Build a tall clock tower with a giant clock face, then hide a repeater loop clock inside that rings a bell at the top. Count the chimes in a minute, run five tests to find its true beat and tune the repeaters until it rings just right.

Finish line: Your clock tower rings its bell on a steady beat, tested five times and tuned to your timing.

Bonus challenge: Add a second loop that plays a note block every other chime. Can you make the tower play a short tune of your own?

You’ll need

  • Redstone repeaters
  • Redstone dust
  • A bell
  • A button or redstone torch
  • A stopwatch

You choose

  • My tower's name
  • The time on my big clock face
  • My bet: chimes in one minute

Stuck?

  • Loop not ticking? It needs one short pulse to start. Press a button beside it, don't leave a lever on.
  • Bell silent? Make sure the redstone line touches the bell or the block it hangs from.
  • Tap a repeater to add delay. Each tap adds 0.1 seconds, up to 0.4.
