Then, it will be able to change the state of the cake block.

    • What do we have to do now? If there is a block/state change, the back of the observer will deliver a redstone pulse. It is important for you to know that the signal of the redstone is level 15. With this level, it is strong enough to drive 15 blocks.

    • In this step, redstone dust and a redstone lamp need to be put at the output so that you are able to see the observer activate and the redstone pulse will be delivered by it.

    • If a cake is put in front of the observer, a redstone pulse will be delivered by it.
      Example of a Block Change
    • Note that every time a piece of the cake is consumed by you, the observer will also deliver a redstone pulse. This is a state change by the observer. It is because the state of the cake block is changing due to the cake which is smaller.

Well, an observer in Minecraft is a block which has the ability to produce a redstone signal. It can happen when the block or fluid it orientates undergoes a change.
