I just wanted to know if a redstone clock can be considered a lag machine. I don't have a clue what a lag machine is, apart form its one main purpose is to create lag. This is a really neat redstone creation I got from an unofficial minecraft app, and just wanted to know if i could build it.

:arrow-up: This is the redstone clock necessary for the creation.

:arrow-up: This is the actual creation itself and what it does (sorry no video, don't have a youtube account), but what it is suppose to do is drop water from the bottom of the machine.

I won't build it if it is considered a lag machine.

If the redstone signal loops for infinite time, it is considered a lag device.
The first picture is an infinite loop, and should not be build on MR.

I recommend having a circuit that only loops if a player is standing on a pressure plate.

Alright thanks. I'll see if I can make it that way with the pressure plate.

So I can't edit my previous post so I will tell I got it to work with a pressure plate! Also can you build a T flip-flop switch with just one sticky piston I have already build it and it works with just one sticky piston. it looks like this

This is a really compact T flip-flop switch and it is really fast at sending the output signal
