8-Output 8-Bit Randomizer

This redstone device provides 8 distinct outputs, with only one active at any given time. It utilizes a circulating hopper clock for its operation. The probability of each output activating can be fine-tuned by adjusting the number of glass panes within the droppers, which are clearly marked and situated below the green glass.

You can control the clock’s on/off state by applying power to the redstone dust located on the central slab. The number of active outputs can also be toggled by interacting with the levers on the randomizer’s droppers, though this may inadvertently trigger an output signal. The entire mechanism is enclosed in glass to prevent mob spawns.

Each of the 8 repeaters serves as an individual output for this randomizer.
