He puts a inverter connected to the pressure plate, so when te item on te plate despawns after 5 mins a current will be sent to the farm and the dispencer, then the dispencer shoot a dirt to land on the plate and deactivate the piston....
This sucks I made one on another SMP and it jams like sht, cause if ur not in the chunk when item despawns, ur dispencer won't fire, and all the farm piston will be on until u drop MANUALLY another item on the plate.

I've been part of the staff for a while now, and I can tell you that redstone is not something that is talked about a lot with staff.
So it's possible a few of us may allow something by mistake without knowing.
If Nick or Relkeb say it's not allowed, then it's not allowed, no matter how many Ops or Mods think differently.

I asked xeadin about despawning items. He said they won't despawn unless your in that chunk.

So if u die in the end, and since no one is in the end u can come back an hour later to pick it? No xeadin got his facts wrong.

Isn't that good it only works when people are in the chunk not making any lag when not in use?

It still works when ppl are FAR away but have THAT chunk loaded, bud pumpkin timer only WORKD IF UR IN THAT CHUNK, so if you seal up the chunk, only u can activate it, hence less lag.
