Redstone Delay Calculator

Add up repeater settings, comparators, and torch stages to estimate total delay in redstone ticks, game ticks, and seconds.

Circuit parts

Total delay

Redstone ticks: 16
Game ticks: 32
Seconds: 1.60 s

Repeaters: 4 x 4 delay
Comparators (approx 1 rt each): 0
Torch stages (approx 1 rt each): 0
Extra redstone ticks: 0

Note: Dust travel and chunk edge behavior can add lag. This is circuit math, not a full simulator.

Builder Tools

Minecraft Redstone Delay Calculator

Add up repeater delays (and a few other bits) into ticks and seconds so you do not have to count on your fingers while standing in the wiring.

What this tool does

You stack delay pieces, it totals redstone ticks and seconds at 20 TPS. Handy before you rebuild the same clock three times.

In game it might differ

Long dust lines, lag, unloaded chunks, weird quasi-connectivity… the calculator will not see those. Build, then time it once for real.

Good for

Doors, farm harvest windows, elevators, multi-stage clocks. Anything where “was that 4 ticks or 5?” wastes an afternoon.

Quick questions

How long is one redstone tick?

Two game ticks. About 0.1 seconds if the server is actually at 20 TPS.

Why is my circuit slower in world?

Lag, chunks not loaded, or extra delay from dust. The math only covers what you typed in.

What do you think about this tool?

If something feels wrong, a Minecraft version is missing, the wording is confusing, or you have a better workflow idea, send it over. Real player feedback is how these tools get sharper.
