It’s time for a throwback many moons ago i created this redstone contraption right here this is my transforming cave and it takes a completely regular normal cave ending and transforms it into a nice little home i am actually quite surprised that this still works because i built this way Back in 2017 it’s almost five years now what oh my goodness i’ve suddenly felt very old there so obviously this thing is awesome i’m a massive fan of this redstone contraption but i definitely feel like we can go bigger and we can go better however i am a little bit nervous Because this is already quite big you know as far as redstone contraptions go this thing isn’t exactly small this is the new cave that i want to transform and as you can see it’s considerably more spacious than the previous one and it also has a lot more details in the Walls and things because the other one realistically looked like a box with just a few blocks in the corner and as you can see here i’ve already started trying to work out where on earth all of the pistons are going to go and i’m already confused so all these Ones that you can see in the walls here those are to do the details that are sticking out of the walls all of these little parts they need to be pulled back so that we get a rigid square shape so then we can do the transformation now The transformation is going to be done making use of piston feed tape some of these piston feed tapes need to be double extender piston feed tapes whereas some of them need to be more traditional piston feed tapes and i’m hoping we can do the traditional ones on the roof and maybe the floor But we might not be able to do it on the floor now this is gonna sound a little bit strange but the more pistons i add in for the piston feed tapes the more i’m actually making sense of this system i’m starting to get it i’m starting to See where all of the blocks are going to be going and how this is actually going to work and now that i’ve got a lot of them in i’ve realized that this is actually not going to work at this point in time we’ve got yeah we’ve got some fighting down at the Bottom here we’ve got some rotation this way while also trying to rotate this way and that is that is not going to function so i need to think of something and after half an hour of bashing my head against my desk i have managed to come Up with something so we’ve got a small piston feed tape up at the top here we’ve got a big piston feed tape big piston feed tape and big piston feed tape for all of the walls and then a big piston feed tape for down at the bottom i think i might be on Track for the record of most times piston feed tape has been said within the first three minutes of a youtube video to be honest i probably already held that record so now i actually need to start work on wiring this thing up which is scary yeah i’m a tiny bit Scared about this oh and in case you’re wondering what i’m actually doing right now this is me just retracting all of the blocks into the walls so i know what we’re working with here so our blocky cave has now been converted into a cube and this is where the transformation begins and the First stage of the transformation is getting the piston feed tapes working and i thought i would tackle the big problem first which is the double piston extender in the bigger double piston extender piston feed tapes i feel sorry for anyone who’s watching this who doesn’t understand redstone it’s just Words it’s just a bunch of words flying out my mouth that means nothing but still try your best to stick with me so the thing is on the bigger piston feed tape we’re making use of double piston extenders so that we can do a double extension and then retract back here so The piston feed tape is going to have a gap in the middle we don’t need any pistons on this side because that would get in the way of the cave even i’m losing what i’m talking about but the issue with this double piston extender back here is that we can’t actually put Any redstone in this section because this is where the piston feed tape is and we can’t put any redstone underneath here because this is also where the piston feed tape is and is going to get stuck and in the way of other piston feed tapes so i’ve had to create this monstrosity But the monstrosity is working it is functioning it is fast so i’m happy with it now i thought the monstrosity would be able to work in all of the locations but it can’t because these these repeaters right here would power blocks that are here and that would cause these Pistons to extend breaking the entire thing so i have to go back to the drawing board again and i think i’ve come up with a solution but it is starting to get a little bit strange however it does seem to be fully functional nice and now that i’ve added in a little Circuit down at the bottom which connects these pistons you can hopefully begin to see how this will work so double piston extender extends grabbing these blocks here it then retracts and then these push it up and then these pistons up at the top here we’ll be doing their pushing around so then we Will get that sort of rotating action going on so all of the bottom parts for our wall piston feed tapes have been completed now it’s time for the top parts and they should be considerably easier in fact that is everything so if you imagine blocks are getting pushed up from the bottom here They go in front of these pistons here and there is there it is working i mean that is it tweet all right so now if i connect up all of these things we might actually have ourselves a working piston feed tape here let’s have a look i’ve just quickly placed in all This glass with this diamond block we should see this diamond block get moved okay look at that can this handle a ridiculously short pulse oh it can and now that i’ve got the timings worked out this is a ridiculously satisfying system to watch i mean look at this So you can see all of these blocks are rotating around they are doing the feed tape things and it is working perfectly so that is going to be our transforming wall right there i’m excited all of my boring technical talk has paid off so now have piston feed tape number Two all sorted now and that is working well i could wash this all day and piston feed tape number three is a little bit more complicated because we used a different double piston extender down the bottom but regardless it is all working properly and looking fantastic i have just two more piston Feed tapes to build and then you will never have to hear me say that word again the first one is a book standard piston feed tape and it is about as easy as it gets this is a nice relief from the other ones and to be fair now that I’ve gotten very used to building these double piston extender piston feed tapes this came together really nicely as well i still got these might be some of my favorite things to watch especially when they’re working fast this machine is looking a tiny bit crazy already so what is the Next stage for this thing well we have all of the piston feed tapes in place which basically means we have the actual mechanical part done this could transform just currently it’s not going to do it in any meaningful or smart fashion because each of the piston feed Tapes needs to be hand activated by me so i now need to put in a circuit that will make it so that these piston feed tapes fully transform the area that they’re meant to be transforming now what on earth does this actually mean well currently the floor In here is made out of stone but if i hit this button we can see that that stone floor gets fully transformed into a diamond floor because i’ve put in this circuit which causes our piston feed tape to fire six times which is the number of blocks that need to be swapped Now the number of blocks that need to be swapped is different for all of the piston feed tapes because all of the piston feed tapes are different sizes but actually it’s it’s not really that complicated to do you could say it’s really quite simple oh boy this thing is armed and ready It is connected everything is wired it should be good to go but just in case backups have been made it’s not that i don’t have faith in myself it’s just that i don’t really have faith in myself so our room is starting off completely stone now you may be wondering why those Diamond blocks are there it’s because all of these blocks would actually be popped out into this location with all of the caviness but obviously i haven’t done that part of the circuitry just yet so they’re back there all we want to see is does all of this stone get swapped out for diamond Blocks that is the question and that is what we’re about to find out and we’re about to find out in a very noisy way this is ridiculous this is wow it actually worked it actually works okay okay so then if i hit this button again we should now see that once again An entire bombardment to our eardrums begins but everything is swapped out and we now have ourselves a stone a stone cube this is this is fully functional this is completely ridiculous i absolutely love redstone contraptions like this what comes next well we need to link up all of these pistons right Here these are the pistons that are going to make our cave look like a cave so they’re incredibly important and the set of pistons i was really panicked about were these pistons back here but i just thought we don’t actually need to power them from inside the piston feed tape We can power them from outside the piston feed tape just fine there’s me trying to think of systems that make use of observers and sending power through all of the pistons when in reality we can just we just power them from back here and let’s be honest it looks super Cool i mean seriously look at this look at this this is a proper redstone contraption let’s have a look then if i flick this lever right here we have got ourselves a cave we have got ourselves a cave and then when i flick this lever again we no longer have a cave That in of itself is satisfying everything about this is satisfying right let’s combine the two i’m going to do this in a slightly strange fashion i’m not entirely sure how well it’s going to work but this piston feed tape is an eight high piston feed tape it’s One of the biggest piston feed tapes in the system which means that when this stops working the whole system will have shut off so this cauldron right here will tell us that everything has stopped working and when we can re-extend all of the blocks surely hopefully i guess we’re about to find out All looks pretty good to me all looks pretty good to me oh i totally goofed but now i fixed it so now for the fun part i get to actually design the room that this thing transforms into and because i think it will make it more fun i’m going to Install carpet mod that will allow me to have movable tile entities such as barrels and furnaces so i can actually have movable super smelters and storage systems and that definitely gets me excited little did i know that i was in for a few hours of just repeatedly Smashing my head into my desk trying to solve all sorts of strange issues but now i am finally ready to transform this cave so here we have our completely normal very boring looking cave nothing suspicious going on in here but at the press of a button this entire stony area Is going to transform into a very nice cozy little base so here we can see all of the walls are beginning to shift around things are happening the floor is moving the ceiling is moving we’ve got things popping up a little crafting bench in the corner there we’ve Got ourselves a super smelter we’ve got a little bit of storage we’ve got a loom so that we can make banners we have not one but two stone cutters just because i think they look awesome we have a smithing table so we can upgrade to netherright gear because obviously Someone with a base like this is going to be upgrading to another right gear we’ve got smoker we’ve got blast furnace we’ve got ourselves a brewing stand crafting bench that pops up in the corner that crafting bench right there is the cause of many many hours of frustration we’ve got a storage system That surrounds a couple of furnaces and a few more crafting benches just in case you know you needed some spares and then finally in this corner here we’ve got ourselves a bed so this is basically everything that we need for a little survival base in minecraft and it is all stuff That we can make disappear with the press of a button i mean as you can see everything is just shifting around everything is being pushed away the stone is here and there we go bed is hidden everything has been made to look cave-like and you would never know that Outside of this cave’s walls is just a mess of redstone and pistons and all sorts of weird bits and pieces this has been a really really fun redstone project to work on i hope you enjoyed it and i’ll catch you in the next one see ya Video Information
