Minecraft’s Haunted 1.17: Ghost Blocks

Hello and welcome this is eagle eye 621 and what you see behind me is going to be a little bit of minecraft magic now i assure you everything is 100 vanilla there is no command trickery of any kind so what do we have we have a diamond block

With a button on it and a sign telling us to press the button and i am a sucker for signs so what is going on with that and uh that’s a little bit of a troll that you can do with some ghost blocks that you can generate in

Java 1.17 i’m going to show you how to do that on a small scale on a large scale but before i do that if you could take a moment to scroll down hit that subscribe button ring that bell it’ll be greatly appreciated helping me reach 50

000 subs you know tell a friend to do so as well so this is actually the machine that we are going to be generating for our tiny little troll versions and the materials as you may be able to just tell from that is a sticky piston a dispenser a

Bucket of powdered snow and a button you only need the one button and then some blocks to help you craft and then some things in order to get some ghost blocks so let’s just get a little bit off the ground we’re going to put our sticky piston facing up

Our dispenser facing over it we can even get rid of those add our button and add our snow and let’s prime this by pressing it once and now in order to generate a gloss box all you have to do is put the block you want to generate

Just like that and if we click this button you will see that we now have two diamond blocks but we don’t actually have two diamond blocks this is the real one and you’ll see if i right click on this it’ll just disappear that was the ghost block

And it is that simple to make a ghost block now the thing about ghost blocks in this particular version as they travel upwards so if we stack those two on top of each other and now press this button you can see that we have a diamond block here

Another one here and a tnt here but that’s not actually what happens so you can see if i right click on this this is the actual diamond block if i right click on this one that is our tnt if i right click on this one that was our

Ghost block so you can see what i did for that little troll right there is to stick a diamond block and a tnt block just like this make that as our ghost blocks now we do know that this one is tnt so i can actually just come here and try and place down

A button and that button replaces that former ghost block and we have what looks like a diamond block even on our f3 screen it tells us this is a diamond block but it is actually a block of tnt as you can see as we blow this up

So what if we want to do this on a much larger scale say make a wall of them and we want to make a wall we can do something that looks like this and you can see that we just have a wall of diamonds being generated those

Are all ghost blocks don’t get any ideas it’s not a real dupe it is just a fake block if i right click on them you see they will go away and we can also make a floor something like this you can see if i turn this on

You can see we are now making a floor of diamonds and there are actually legitimate uses for ghost blocks mobs will not be able to path find on them they’ll walk into them and actually just jump off the side so no need to worry about that you can make essentially a path where

The player can walk through where a mob can’t but do be aware if you are on a server this will activate some of the anti-fly hacking you may get booted from this so check with your server admin before you do this because if anybody was not in the loaded

Chunks when this was generated as in within the render distance then they’re just going to see a person that looks like they’re flying when actually you’re just standing on these ghost blocks so let’s see how we’re going to make them and we’re going to use the things in

This chest right here and this top row is what we’re going to need we’re going to replace one of these blocks with our target block and you’ll see why as we go along this is going to be our clock this is going to be our mechanism and

Then this is what we’re going to use in order to just make our ghost block we’re going to make diamond ghost blocks let’s get those into the inventory and get started we’re going to get started by just putting down a block like this and we’re going to put a

Redstone torch on it we’re going to have one two three observers facing just like that some quick accounting with eagle eye 621 our sticky piston facing up just like this and our dispenser facing over that sticky piston and then we’re going to have our fourth and final observer pointing

Just like that and it’s going to be pointing into a redstone lamp and this redstone lamp is going to have a solid block so that it can transmit a signal right above this torch and we’re going to put our button just like this we’re going to replace this in a minute but

You’ll see why we also are going to need our second sticky piston over this just like that and we are going to place a repeater here this has to be on three tick delay just like that and our final torch just like this and now the block that we first put our snow

In here and the block that we want to make our ghost block goes just like that and now whenever we hit this button you will see that we have a ghost block being generated and this is a repeatable process clearly now if you’re building a machine like

This it’s probably because you want to make it tileable and that’s the reason we’re going to replace that block with a target block so we can remove the button we can remove this torch and we can remove that and put that back and the reason

That we are going to want to do that is because the target block will redirect redstone the way that a stone block will not so what that looks like is if i have stone block here and i have a redstone line which we’re going to use for our clock

You can see that the stone block does not redirect whereas the target block does and we want to make that so that we can make this tileable you can tile it just like this take one screenshot right here if you need to make everything just like that

And then your clock is going to also be very straightforward we’re going to run a signal like this we’re going to have a repeater facing into this make sure this is on four tick delay that is important or you will break your machine then we can complete this circuit with our comparator

Which is going to be on subtract mode by right clicking on it and our redstone dust and then our lever just like this and now we can automate this process as you can see with our wall builder now if you want to instead make a floor builder then what you can do instead

And sometimes you do have issues where the the snow block will dispense if you turn it off incorrectly and you’re just gonna have to grab it and place it back generally doesn’t happen but you can get very unlucky so now let’s get rid of these ghost blocks by right clicking on them

Also if you unload and reload your game then these ghost blocks will all go away that’s what it means to be a ghost block they’re not permanent you can’t mine them and collect the resources and to turn this into a floor builder you’re going to need the contents of this chest

This is an extra stone block in case you have some issues with quasi connectivity let’s get those into the inventory we’re going to put our regular piston not a sticky piston just like that we’re going to have our one two and three solid blocks a little bit more counting with eagle eye 621

Our redstone torch here and both of our repeaters here although you’re going to want to make this one on four tick delay and you can leave that one alone now if this doesn’t extend you’re having some issues based on whatever version you’re playing you can stick that block just like that

And that will fix this and now when we turn this machine on you can see that the regular piston will push that and every so often it does eat some but that’s the issues you have with lag and ghost blocks and it will push them all out and make a floor

And when you do run into your push limit it will just start deleting the blocks does pretend to think that it’s a regular piston with regular requirements and you can turn it back off and that’s all there is to it and you control your friends with floors that don’t really exist

Walls that you can shoot through which for some interesting mini games and if i grab let’s say some perfect uh armor tools weapons i have some links in the i card to that and grab a bow and a few arrows you can see that you can actually

Shoot clean through these they don’t get stopped it’s because again they’re not really there and the same way you can drop items through the floor again it’s all pretend so you can have some fun with your friends and that’s really all there is to it uh before i go

Let’s give some quick shout outs for some credit and the person that i saw do this first is somebody called craftymasterman and i will have a link to the description to his video and the vertical wall this one is heavily based on his design i just updated it to remove some

Redstone dust but he should get full credit for that and then he has an under floor design i redesigned it to make it an overfloor figure if you’re making a floor you’re going to want this machine to be mostly underground as opposed to having the machine above the floor you’re generating

But head on over his channel to see exactly what he did and to get him some of that credit if you found this video helpful i would appreciate that like found it interesting maybe even share it with one of your friends or your favorite minecraft youtuber to see them build this in
