Redstone Delay Calculator

Calculate circuit timing from repeaters, comparators, hoppers, and redstone torches in game ticks and seconds.

Delay Components

Repeaters

Comparators

Hoppers

Torches

Total Delay

Calculated from every component in the signal path.

Game ticks
8
Redstone ticks
4
Seconds
0.40

One redstone tick equals two game ticks, or 0.1 seconds at a steady 20 TPS. Hopper transfer cooldown is eight game ticks.

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.
