EPIC Minecraft 1.18 Flying Magic!

Hey it’s the Clockwork Mage and this broadcast spell is live so today I want to give a big shout out to my two best friends Kylie and Maddie they are my girlfriend’s nieces and they gave me the inspiration for this video that I am bringing you today

So if you have read the title of this video we are going to be making a flying machine this flying machine can have docks and go uh two directional bi-directional so um back and forth and it can be as high as you want it can fly as far as you want

But ideally you have a dock set up so that you can just go back and forth between two places as you wish so first let’s start off with building just the actual flying machine so what you’re going to need is you’re going to need one Observer you’re gonna you’re gonna need two

Observers excuse me you’re gonna need either or slime blocks or honey blocks so let’s grab those you’re gonna need at least four slime blocks or for honey blocks or a mixture of that so you could have two slime blocks too honey it either works and you’re gonna need two sticky pistons

Now if you want the docks on top of it you’re gonna need at least two obsidian we’ll get to the docks at the end but first let’s just focus on actually building the flying machines and understanding how they work so it’s very simple these are very basic

Flying machines so starting off with the Observer facing that way so I’m gonna get rid of that that way it doesn’t have the pulse going through it when I do knock it over so we have it going that way and then we’re gonna have a piston facing us a sticky piston facing us

Giving you guys a good look because I understand that uh a lot of red Stoners don’t really show you guys how it’s done and then we’re gonna put either two slime blocks or two honey blocks like that so for this I’m just going to use slime but just remember slime and honey are

Interchangeable now we go on the back side so that we can see the Observer face here Place Another Observer like that Place Another piston just like that and then place two more slime blocks and there we go the flying machine is absolutely complete you can take off and

Fly in this thing here let me show you all you have to do is make sure something moves or does anything in front of either of The Observers depending on which way you want to go you activate this Observer so you put a block right here to make it go that way

And then you put a block in front of this Observer to make it go that way for this demonstration I am going to make it go that way and see but you have to walk on this and typically that’s not ideal but if I have stopped moving see then it’ll just take

Off without me oh no come on get back I gotta catch it anyways the way you stop it is to use an immovable block such as obsidian or furnaces or my two favorite go-to’s to stop it just like that and then as soon as something moves in front of this

Observer it’ll go back so that’s also the basic idea for our dock here so what’s going to happen is is this is gonna come right over here it’s going to get stopped but instead of having to break the obsidian every single time we’re actually going to put the obsidian right next to

Or right in front of the slime blocks here instead the reason being is because it’s a lot easier it’s a lot easier to just have it against the slime blocks and you’re only going to need one each so you can just have it just like that

And it’ll stop here let me show you bam yeah so you only need one on each side from there you can have something pretty simple just in front of this just to get its face to work an easy simple cheap way to get this to work since you’ve already

Spent so much resources getting the rest of the stuff just put a trap door you can flip the trapdoor and it starts it okay and I’ll even show you on this side so this is going to stop and then bam and then you can just flip the trap

Doors whenever you want to go so now you’re thinking well how am I going to write on this thing if you’re just going to fall off that’s an excellent question so that’s also where the honey blocks come in if you use honey blocks you can actually stand on this machine

Because honey blocks bring all entities which you are an entity along with it while you’re standing on it so I can just stand right here flip that and now as you can see it is bringing me along with I don’t have to do anything but if you’re stuck with the only

Resource being slime blocks it’s going to take more slime for you to stay on or it’s going to be slightly deadly if you’re really high up so the way I do it with slime blocks is I go like that and what’s what this is going to do is

If you stand in the middle of these two it’s going to bounce you around back and forth um and usually you’re going to need a higher switch or something just to make sure that you can hit that now which can be a little tougher but in my opinion it’s just a lot easier

With honey blocks but if you wanted to make say the switch reactive to a higher block so that you can see it while standing on there you can easily just do something like not like that wait yes like that like that put a lever and then you can just put

One Redstone and now when I break this of course it’s going to go off but for this example I’m just gonna so I’m going to break this there we go now to show you the example now you can have just this lever here and slime blocks are bouncy you can

Stand right in the middle hit the lever and Bam it’ll send you off now you can do this as high as you want this will go as far as you want but it will plow through things if it just goes on forever and it may come to

A stop once it like sticks to too many blocks because these slime blocks will just stick to anything they touch so if you just let it go and let it fly off it will fly off here let me show you guys it’s actually pretty funny then I just gotta beat it here

And as this flies off so does the rest of this episode it was a lot of fun but this has been the Clockwork mage and I’m now shutting down this broadcast spell thank you Thank you
