Preface
Graduate Texts in Minecraft (GTMC) is a community-driven project offering technical and redstone tutorials for Minecraft. It serves both as a beginner's guide and as in-depth documentation for experienced players looking to understand Minecraft's internal mechanics.
The editorial team is committed to producing content that is clear, accurate, and accessible. Community contributors are also welcome to help write and improve the project by submitting Pull Requests.
1 Explanatory Notes
Each article in the documentation can be divided into a Basic section and an Advanced section, targeting beginners and experienced players respectively.
Some Basic section content that is relatively rare or uncommon will be marked with an asterisk (*) in the chapter title.
For ease of understanding, the Basic section may include some generalized statements that aren't perfectly rigorous but hold true in typical situations. These statements will be marked with a superscript1 and explained further in the Advanced section or in footnotes.
The documentation assumes readers have a fairly basic understanding of Minecraft and its redstone components. If you run into issues while reading, feel free to consult the Wiki. Likewise, special or atypical cases fall outside the scope of this article and are usually documented on the Wiki. When such cases exist for a given concept, they will be marked with a superscript2.
The code in this documentation is decompiled using 1.20.1-yarn. Any special cases will be noted with a superscript3.
