Step-by-Step Guide:
This is a complete step-by-step guide that you will need to follow in Minecraft to make an observer.
It is much easier than it sounds to create an observer.
First, you need to obtain the two Redstone dust.
Once you have the two Redstone dust, you’ll need to obtain some cobblestone.
Make sure you get six additional blocks.
Redstone is only possible if you mine Redstone ore.
First, make a wooden pickaxe to get an iron pickaxe.
Three wooden planks are required along with two sticks.

Once you’ve made your pickaxe from wood, it is time to turn it into stone.
You will need three pieces cobblestone to do this.
To mine three pieces in a cave, first you must find three pieces of rock.
Stone is easy to find in caves because they are lined with it.
Any of the gray blocks below will be used as stone in caves.
The following recipes can be used to make a stone pickaxe:
The next step is to make an iron pickaxe.
You will need three iron ingots, two sticks and a few other materials to make an iron pickaxe.
Three iron ore from your mine will give you three iron ingots.
Then, melt them in a furnace to get the other two.
One iron ore is enough to make one iron ingot.
After you have gotten your iron ingots, it is time to put them in your crafting area using the following recipe.
Once you have your iron pickaxe you can go look for Redstone ore.
Redstone dust will fall if you mine the Redstone ore using your iron pickaxe.
Once you have collected your Redstone and cobblestone you can go to the Nether.
You will require three diamond ores to reach the nether.
One diamond will be lost if you break one of the diamond ores.
After you have collected your three diamonds you can return to crafting table.
You will need three diamonds, two sticks and the following recipe to make a diamond pickaxe.
Now that your pickaxe is crafted, it’s time to locate a lava lake.
Once you find the lava pool, take a water bucket along.
Then pour the water over it.
Water will transform lava into obsidian if it comes in contact with lava.
Once you have your obsidian, use your diamond pickaxe to mine it.
Although they can take some time to mine with a diamond pickaxe.
You can create a Nether portal with these ten pieces.
You will find nether ore in the Nether.
To get nether quartz, you can mine one of these.
Once you have your nether quartz, Redstone dust and cobblestone, it is time to go back to your crafting table.

What is the Observer’s role in Minecraft?
Although the workings of an observer are simple, they can create incredible machines.
All you need to do to use an observer is to place it down.

It will emit a Redstone signal if it sees an entity in front.
This Redstone signal can be used to power other mechanisms, such as Redstone repeaters and pistons.
