What is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop in Minecraft?
Based on the design of the circuit and on the description, what is its purpose?
It says that it transfers the state of D to Q. This means it can store one bit.
But what is the purpose of a D Flip-Flop when I can just put a lever on a block? This also can store one bit.
Question from user Jason at stackexchange.
Answer:
Saying that you can replace D Flip-Flops with a lever on a block is a bit naive. The power of D Flip-Flops becomes apparent when you use many of them, and connect them all to the same clock. You can't possibly toggle half a dozen levers all at the exact same time, but you can effectively do that with D Flip-Flops.
D Flip-Flops form the basis of shift registers, which in turn are a key component in parallel to serial and serial to parallel converters. These probably aren't very useful in Minecraft; using only two redstone lines (clock and data) instead of the parallel bus width doesn't make up for the slow speed of the serial line compared to a parallel bus. At best, we might be able to clock a serial line twice as fast as a parallel line, which is not a high enough speed increase.
