I Made a SUPERHERO Piston House in Minecraft

I fancy being a superhero today and what is the most important thing that all superheroes must have it’s not a fancy suit it’s not the ability to fight crime or great jiu-jitsu skills it’s an awesome house and this is the kind of idea that i have for the shell so i’ve

Kind of built up the exterior of this thing it’s nothing too complicated it’s very much like a mountainside house i’d definitely be scared of this in an earthquake or even heavy rain to be honest with you i probably wouldn’t like living here but if we take a look inside

We can see that we have plenty of space to work with we have a feature wall which looks fairly fantastic and we also have an open hole in the ceiling which we are going to be making use of as well i think all of you can see where that’s

Going because of course for a superhero house to be a superhero house it has to be filled to the brim with interesting gadgets and little things that pop out the walls and and all sorts of cool superhero stuff first things first we need to work on the entrance for this

Thing and i kind of have two options here i can either build a piston door that comes up from the floor i was initially thinking concrete powder but now that i think about it that’s not not really that secure it feels like if a bad guy wanted to get

Into my superhero headquarters the concrete powder would be quite easy to get through it’s basically just well it’s just powder to be honest with you so instead i could potentially push a door across from the side have like a sliding door and then i could make it

Out of something just a little bit more solid looking yeah that definitely seems like the move so i guess we’re gonna have triple piston extenders a little bit of slime block honey block action pushing blocks across like this it should be easy my confidence has dwindled a tiny bit looking at this but

I think we should be fine i think instead of just doing straight triple piston extenders instead i’m going to make use of a double disney extender and then a single piston and that will give us the triple extension instead of having to worry about all the crazy piston timings and things not that

Triple missing extenders are inherently that difficult it’s just because this makes life a lot easier before redstone people laugh at me down in the comment section for not wanting to build a triple piston extender right let’s give this system a test to then so we’ve got ourselves a 3×3 piston door that should

Just slide across without any problems if i flick this nice okay that’s it opening up and that is everything closing all right well that’s that’s gone very smoothly i do wish we could like brace blocks in minecraft so that we wouldn’t have to use removable objects and things

That don’t tend to look that good imagine if you could put something on a block that would force it to stay in place anyway let’s move on from dream features because now i need to create the way that we access this place and obviously you can’t just have a button

Kind of a button that you press to get into a superhero headquarters instead you have to have some new age system and i think i’ve got a very new age system in mind although right now i am kind of struggling to build it but after engaging my brain a little bit more i’ve

Got some of the kinks worked out so now beacons that’s that they’re going to shine through there then we’ve got some pistons and some stained glass and and things like that to add in and then i think this is one of those things i need to build it first and then i’ll explain

It after it’s built it’s gonna be pretty much impossible to explain until it’s actually constructed and working it is as with all redstone contraptions though gradually growing in complexity so i’ve got a second circuit that i need down at the bottom here with yet more pulse extenders and things but trust me this

Is going to be cool once it’s done and now after much faffing it is actually completed so here we have a little a little standing pad and what we do is we stand on it i’ll activate some beacons it will then start scanning us and then eventually

It will give us access into our gigantic mansion now i personally think this is really really cool i’ve spent far too long on it and i’m pleased with it but i definitely think it could do with some extra sound effects because the silence is not quite giving off the scanning

Vibe right let’s give this a spin so i jump on my my scanning pad I’d say that’s pretty good yeah that’s perfect all right i’m not gonna spend any more time on that let’s actually start working on things on the inside of this place and once again i’m struggling in fact that could be the title of this video you know every

Single every single thing that i seem to have started here i seem to struggle with i’m struggling with how i’m going to get down from from this area here i mean it doesn’t feel very super heroey to have a ladder where that ladders are out of the

Question i can’t just kind of jump down that’s terrible i kind of came up with the idea of having a walkway that goes all the way around the top that would be pretty cool but i just haven’t been able to make it look good i just don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to do this is definitely a step in the right direction i definitely think we can work with this now because now we have a two wide space and we have space down at the bottom here we could potentially we could push things up in fact we could

Have like a little elevator that actually comes up and meets with the player we’re gonna have to do a little bit of terraforming and things but yeah we can actually push a platform up that then goes up and then retracts back down that definitely feels like a superhero thing

That’s about a superhero as it gets so how high does this thing need to go one two three four five six if i wanted it to be level with the platform all right i guess making use of flying machines that are underneath the ground with this thing attached to a stalk is

Probably the best way to go yeah i mean it definitely is except i’ve just built it slightly wrong and now i’ve broken everything but this is this is where it’s going and in case it wasn’t clear when i said that honey blocks were the best new addition to the game when they

First released i mean can you not see can you not see what i was talking about you know what’s funny i use shulker boxes as my movable objects so often that i forget that they’re not actually immovable objects no they’re they’re breakable objects i’ve broken this again and i’ve just broken it again

You would have thought by now i would i would have some form of backup but no good yep good ah brill this is beyond a joke now it really is oh nice i’m gonna stop recording the breakages now because there are many finally after a lot of hurdles

We’ve got there and this thing seems to be working so if i hit this button here okay we have requested our little thing and that will come up it will pick us up and it will take us down to the bottom level so that is all now functioning finally

Oh and of course if we’re on the bottom level we just hit this button here and we pop to the top so things are going pretty well for our superhero base obviously there’s going to be something pretty big going in this area here so there’s nothing that i can construct in

This space but i do feel like i should get parts of the base built however i do feel like superheroes don’t have the regular stuff that people have like i feel like you never see batman’s bed you know i feel like these people don’t sleep [Laughter]

So i don’t know i don’t know if i should install that kind of normal stuff oh i’ve just realized i’m gonna get about a billion comments from people who know a lot more about batman than i do with specific locations where his bed has been spotted

I was kind of asking for it on that one wasn’t i now i must admit this idea has kind of come out of nowhere but i feel like i should just construct it and get to work on it i really like the idea of there being a radar system in this

Place so this is like a little thing that will show any enemies or any unidentified things within a certain radius of the base a little bit like how ships have that boop think you know that with the rings that go outwards and then they show up little

Dots yeah that i must admit i am a tiny bit embarrassed that i don’t know what it’s called although i feel like it is just called a radar i’ve always just called it a radar i would say this is the sort of noise that it makes roughly

I’m the most tone deaf person on the planet but i’d say that’s a roundabout right and in theory my actual display should be working i’m about to find out i can see lights flickering so that’s good Well no i don’t know if that’s quite right i don’t know that’s that’s exactly not what i need with the addition of them on a stable circuit i think that’s as good as we’re gonna get you know now that i’ve told you what it is it kind of looks

Like what it’s supposed to be i actually think we should have something on there this should sell the concept a lot more There we go so we’ve got two enemies showing up on our radar this is quite a fun idea i’m just looking down at this water pool here and i’m thinking i’m thinking this is where our general stuff can go not actually in the water that seems a bit ridiculous but it is

Definitely superhero stuff What am i doing i mean we have a waterfall we could split the waterfall we have the perfect opportunity to use an actual superhero thing of splitting waterfalls and stuff and i wasn’t actually gonna make use of it i tell you what makes superhero super the fact that

They can put up with that noise in their house because that’s been going for like the past 10 minutes now and i already want to pull my hair out i have not built one of these things in absolutely ages but i’m very very curious to see

If i have even remotely got any of my timings correct here so i think i need to remove the water first i mean goodness gracious me if i just built that first time without even really thinking about it No i mean i knew it was too good to be true right let’s try that again here we go so that is not not good no that’s exactly what we don’t want to happen and i really need to make this opening bigger because just me struggling to get through here and

Not actually being able to see what’s going on it’s really quite frustrating i’ve now fixed everything up i’ve got a piston door down at the bottom i’ve also improved the timings a little bit so we should see oh it’s broken that might just be the motto for this video that definitely

Feels like that should be the tagline for this video so if we try again we hit the button and water goes double piston extender pushes out door opens up water comes back out we’ve got a split waterfall there looking lovely and then we hit the button again this is

The the tricky bit i guess is getting the timings correct both sets of water go and then our waterfall pops out i mean this is this is a nice little system absolutely horrendous in terms of redstone really really horrendous in terms of redstone i mean this is not

Compacted in the slightest but it doesn’t matter because it is behind my rock wall nobody has to see it i personally find this idea really really entertaining okay now this may be an excuse for how tiny this little area is but i love the idea right that someone would have a house this

Ridiculous like this insane and it’s all for show and all the stuff that’s actually useful is like in this tiny little den here actually now that i think about it there are quite a lot of houses like that like a lot of the houses in hollywood and beverly hills

Are literally like this why can i not do this maths in my head so i have believe it or not this is not the first one of these that i’ve constructed i’m trying to center this okay how big is this one two three yeah have i got it wrong on all fronts

I mean really i don’t even know what i’m doing right now after having to realign my brain a little bit i’ve started work on the rocket that’s going here oh by the way i’m building a rocket okay so we’re gonna have a rocket in this area

It’s gonna poke through the roof that is the most superhero thing i can think of you know just having a rocket in your living room that’d be cool i want to rock it in my living room now the essence of this thing is actually i mean it should be really really easy

Because what i’m doing right now is i’m kind of building up the segments of the rocket so this is like building up the body of the rocket and to be honest they don’t really change too much i might add a little bit more flare to the bottom ones

But even then i kind of feel like i don’t have to like this is that does kind of look rockety the thing at the top is going to be the motor that’s going to be shooting off i’ve just thought how am i actually going to activate this maybe using a piece of string

And a bow and arrow no that seems like a fun way to activate it we’ll cross that bridge when it comes to it and it’s come to it let’s see what happens here this is the first thing in this video that has gone smoothly that has worked first time my rocket has

Taken off i’ve just launched a rocket from my superhero headquarters i mean this build this build has ended up actually being really really cool i’m actually super proud of this thing i’m going to switch this on our rocket has traveled off into space aka it’s traveled maybe

I forget we’re all an amplified world that’s the build limit right there so the rocket literally launches maybe 50 blocks above the house that’s hilariously pointless we’ve got our radar system we’ve got our people scanners we’ve got our piston doors we’ve got our pick up and put down we’ve got our waterfall splitters

And most importantly we’ve just got an awesome house i feel like i have succeeded in becoming a superhero for the day i’m feeling good about this i hope that you enjoyed today’s redstone video and i’ll catch you in the next one see ya that was a lot of fun sometimes

This just is so fun to just chill out and build something daft i mean i know i build a lot of daft stuff i feel like the majority of my builds are definitely daft but this one felt a notch above this feels like this feels slightly more daft than usual

Although maybe i’m just desensitized to how daft i am honestly you know what i don’t know
