MINECRAFT CHALLENGE: The IMPOSSIBLE Feed Tape!

So the other day i was looking back through some challenges that people had submitted on twitter and i stumbled across a really interesting one from peter luxer as you all know when you build piston feed tapes you need to make sure that you have a gap in the corners

One gap in one corner and then one gap on the opposite corner to allow for the piston feed tape to cycle now peter lucha had actually come up with a way to create a piston feed tape that doesn’t have these corners and he’s challenged me to create one for myself now you may

Be sat there thinking well that seems easy enough just put blocks in the corners how hard can it be but no that that is not the case this is going to be a big logistical challenge and i’ve already put in a little bit of ground work so this is

Going to be the piston feed tape is seven blocks in total this right here is going to be the input going directly down the center and this is potentially don’t even know if it works yet potentially what our piston layout is actually going to be looking like

We somehow need to activate all of these now the reason i put in this extra ground work is because this system is so confusing that i actually wasn’t certain i was going to be able to do it but i think i have come up with some way in

Which this could potentially work maybe so here is the theory what we need to do is first off we need to retract the central blocks okay so we need to grab that one that will retract that down we need to grab this one that will retract that down grab that one and that

One and we end up with this kind of wavy shape right here and then we’re going to pull those blocks back into these little areas so that they’re kind of pushed out of the way so it’s good for that and let’s get rid of that one okay very very

Good start next thing that we have to do is we’re going to retract down on all of these glass blocks that have been left up at the top so we just need to do that very quickly there we go we need to do that one and that one that one and

That one so we’ve ended up with this sort of setup right here now we need to push those glass blocks across now the way that we do that is by activating this circuit which will push up and across good that is working so click that that’s good that’s good click that that works

And we flick this one okay so we now have this situation here and then we have to just extend this across and fire this one and then retract those back and then we have to extend this across uh fire this one very quickly and then pull this back across

And we have to do it again that’s that spit it out and that retracts and then we do it for the final time and i think that does it so this thing is possible there it is one full rotation of the air blockless piston feed tape right well that’s all

Well and good that we’ve done this using levers but we actually need to link that up with redstone which is going to be a little bit more tricky right so part one is done with the retraction of the block so that’s that bit done then we just

Need to run a line into this and we need it to be a pretty fast pulse so i’m i’m imagining that we’ll have something like this this can be our input right there and then we’ll have our monostable circuit running off and out like this in fact we’re going to

Use orange blocks for this one so we’re going to have our monostable circuit running off and out like that and then we need to make sure that we power that one really quickly but without powering this redstone here you know what this might not be as difficult

As i was expecting it to be i’ve run in this repeater i’m basically working on a one module basis so this kind of area here is one module and what i’ve done so far is i’ve created a system that should in theory drag down the blocks pull it

Across and then push it across like that look ready oh it happens a little bit too quickly let’s see again just a tiny bit too fast i don’t actually know what i’ve done what have i done oh there we go that was it so that’s what we want to see you know

What we’re making some really good progress here i’ve added in the repeater circuits which run into the push across lines so we’re now grabbing the block so that it goes inside this little system here and it begins to get pushed across you can see look at that that happens

Fast too now if we if we were to do something like this now i’m not 100 certain this is going to function but if we do something a little bit like this will that allow us to spit the block back out whoa that was next level

So now all we have to do is activate this one down here the little green line and that should do the trick and that is not a difficult thing to do i mean we literally just have to run the redstone out like this and down here somehow without activating

This hopper line so we’re just going to need some slabs up at the top and that should in theory do the trick so let’s do this here we go button pressed one module all completed and done i don’t believe it okay so we just need to we need to

Recreate this on all of the other corners and then we can just link that up with one line of redstone but before we do it seems like actually overlooked something which could cause a problem so we need to spit the blocks back out so they’re back level with the floor so

Let’s see if we can actually do that here goes we made a mess but now we are fixed did you see that it spat out both blocks so look that’s good and obviously these ones will spit out these ones these ones will spare these ones these ones will spit

Out these ones all of them will be spat back out now i wonder if this is actually going to function in this sequence here so i’ve built all of the redstone i’ve done all of that and i’ve built it in a sequence so it starts from here and then this one

Activates this one activates and then this one activates i’m actually gonna back up the world quickly because i imagine this could make a mess if it goes wrong so here it goes three two one that’s the wrong place uh it is over here okay three two one yeah we made a mess [Laughter]

I think these all have to activate exactly the same time and that is what i’ve made them do now it has got a little bit bigger but fingers crossed and i’ll repeat that fingers crossed it does work oh that looks so close but we really have some breakage going on

Ah i’ve discovered the problem and it’s one that i hadn’t thought of and it’s one that we really really need to fix and you know what that might actually just do it if we just place in some redstone there that will then oh this could be tight what we need to

Do is we need to make sure that this pops up before this piston gets pushed across and does all of its thing okay we are having to make some serious changes to the redstone circuitry here okay so we’ve got that we’ve added in all of this circuitry and now we just

Need to watch these back pistons okay they need to do they need to do as they’re told here goes that was it i’m almost certain that was it almost almost almost certain i can’t believe it this has been so many hours of work so this that was perfect where’s that piston gone

Let’s try it without the glass first nothing broke which is good now we try with an actual piston feed tape i have such high confidence i’ve actually placed in all the colors as well so let’s go oh gosh after rebuilding this thing multiple times i think i’ve managed to do it

That was a full-on evil laugh but i don’t care because just to see that thing reconstruct is amazing so there we have it ladies and gentlemen one very nice gapless piston feed tape look watch the blue block hit the button i could actually watch that all day

This is one of my favorite redstone contraptions i’ve created for quite some time this was a real challenge something i’d never really done before forced me to completely rethink the way that i do certain things and the best news is is that it’s been built completely flush with the floor

So you can see no redstone above floor level right there you could have this in your base and if you really fancy just changing things up occasionally you just hit the button nice i heavily enjoyed this video i really hope you guys enjoyed it as well

If you did be sure to that like button and if you really loved it then make sure to subscribe but thanks for watching guys this has been mumbo and i’m out i’ll see you later You
