MinecraftScorpion – Ep. 48 | Lasers! | Minecraft Mod Showcase

Hey there from our questions welcome to yet another mod showcase and today i’m going to show you a very cool mod that is called the lasers mod or basically just lasers and yeah obviously adds lasers to the game as you can definitely see and it is a very cool but a bit complicated

Mod but um yeah i’m going to try to explain it to you as uh carefully as i can so i hope you’ll understand but um yeah let’s get started there are three main blocks that you will be able to create and i will show you how to make those first i’m starting off

With one thing though you will need to make rubies first because you will need that for almost any block and place one glass in the middle and surrounded by redstone that will create a ruby and i will just get some more right now so um let’s just play some here like that

That’s fine and um yeah let’s just continue because um now for the blocks now with the rubies you can do this like that put a ruby in the middle and a glass to the side and that will give you a laser which is just basic later

You can also take glass put it like this stone here and here and ruby in the middle that will give a reflector and there’s one more thing you will need to put stone there put a ruby centered and blue put glass on the top and bottom that will give you a sensor

And what this does is pretty simple um you can place firstly place later down like i’ve got a laser right yeah this is later you can place down and i will need something to activate it because it’s redstone powered when you power it with redstone it will be activated as you can see

It will first send off a white laser now you’ve got a reflector the reflector will basically just reflect the laser to anywhere you’re pointing in that so right now it’s point this way and the sensor which basically sends us if laser is touching it or if it isn’t

Simple as that so those were three blocks but now let’s move on to lenses because there’s much more into this mod than this than these three blocks so um yeah let me show you that all right so the first thing you want to do for lenses is create a lens workbench like this

Get iron ingots in the corners get stone whoops like this a ruby in the middle again and a working bench or a crafting table workbench crafting table in the upper slot so that will create a lens bench as you can see and when i put it down

You can open it just like a normal crafting table but this will give you a whole different menu it looks complicated but it isn’t really because um the basic thing you will need to do first is either get any material like this stone or iron or cobblestone or wood doesn’t really

Matter you can either use blank stone cobblestone bricks stone bricks iron block gold blocks sandstone or wood and that will create an outer edge so um as you can see you don’t need a whole bunch of it to create the ring you only need to put one in there and it

Creates the ring you also can’t take out these so you can’t cheat with it either so um yeah i’m just going to use some iron blocks because i like the look of that and the rings are purely aesthetical they don’t add any effect to later so um yeah what you can do now

Is put glass in middle and now you’ve got your basic iron white lens this just doesn’t do much though as you can see i’ve got four slots left and in these four slots you can choose whatever you want to put there now there are a few basic things and

I’ll show you those first because um yeah what you can do with um ender pearls and the pearls will give you um an advanced lens as you can see when i take it out it says white lens now it says advanced lens and this does for every color something

Different so that’s i’ll specify on that later what you can also do is put glowstone in there and by every glow stain put in there the range will be up with 10 blocks so if i put two in there it will be plus 20 blocks then plus 30 blocks so then the blocks

Will just basically go further or the lasers will actually shine on further and you can add diamond and that adds power to the laser and that does different things as well for every color as you can see you can also do it with redstone that will give you plus one power

Um or you can do it with rubies and that will give you plus two power but um the diamond is far and the most efficient for i’m using that so um you can also put one color in there and that will color the lens and you will need that to do for it

To do specified things so um i’m going to talk about each color and what it will do right now okay i’m going to start off simple with the white lens and the advanced lens does nothing so um that’s out of use but when you power it up

With power one two three so it’s like this or um like this it will um the laser will be blocked by items mobs and the player itself when it gets to 4 to 6 like this it will be blocked by mobs and players and when you get it up to seven to nine

It will be um blocked by the player only so like that you can um specify a few things that you would like it to be blocked or not and that is very useful uh full for traps and such so um yeah i can put this on here some

Where even though it’s dark holy crap it’s dark all right let me make day again all right now with my laser beam thingy as you can see it has a much wider range because of the power that i’ve added the laser just gets wider

If you um put more power in it there but as you can see now it isn’t being blocked by items and mobs even though i’ve got no mob near but it is blocked by me when i take off the laser with right click again or the lens i mean

It is blocked by me but also by items and such yeah that’s pretty cool okay now for some different lenses let me make another one um let’s start off with the red one it is very easy just put the red dye in there like that that will give you an iron red

Land and the red lens is basically the heat beam and this deals damage and sets the world some fire and destroys block etc so like this it is not really powerful but you can put diamonds in there or any powering thing item and with each level the damage per seconds rises and

Yeah it also has an ability to set the entity on fire and the the beam will also be able to dig through harder blocks with this um with the advanced one let me see um here like this it prevents beams from destruction of items so um that’s pretty cool let me just get

Uh like this an iron red advanced led uh lens powered plus six i believe all right i want to put this on a laser if you now walk through it it hurts a lot and um with the special power the advanced power it won’t burn my items anymore it would normally um

But yeah it’s pretty powerful like this and you can make it even more powerful and um when you get three diamonds up in there it will be devastating like really if you’re in there for 0.1 second you’re dead and as you can see it does also added a small chance

Of me being set on fire which just happened time for the green beam because um this is the nature beam it’s pretty cool you can see you can add a green dye and um what this basically does is that it speeds up the plant grow rate so weed and stuff and

Yeah trees and such what you can do with the power is whenever you add more power to it it will increase this the plant grow rate so um the more diamonds you put in there the faster stuff will grow when you channel later on them and when you put an advanced

In there make it advanced it will it will enable the tree cutting mechanism and then what that is i will show you now and let me put this on here let’s see do i have a sapling no let me get a sapling though oh wait i’ll just use this tree right here

But what this does is when you cut down the lower block as you can see all the blocks will go and that’s the automatic tree cutter mechanism thingy and um yeah i think the rest is pretty obvious i’m not going to wait here until another tree grows but that just goes a lot

Faster now oh there it goes it’s killing the sheep as you can see it’s a lot faster okay it’s time for the blue lens now and then this lens is basically the slowed down beam it slows down mobs and the player and it’s pretty obvious because when you add power to it

It slows target down more and if you put advanced in it it will also do that on the vertical axis so let me just do that it’s pretty obvious let me exchange this right here and when you get in there it will slow you down a bit

And yeah it slows down more if you put more diamonds in there you can also make a cyan lens like this and what this basically does is a tractor beam and when you put power in it like this it will um it will pull stuff towards the laser

And when you put an advanced in there it will um push it away from it and i’ll just create both to show you let’s make this very quickly like that and some diamonds in there so we’ve got an advanced one and one that’s not advanced as you can see this very rapidly because

I put three diamonds in there pulls me towards the laser and yeah and when i put this one on here it will very quickly push me away and this can be very useful for quick travel stuff i guess all right you can also use the purple dye like this again the

Usual and what this basically is is that it’s a hybrid of the blue one and the red one so um this will both slow you down and it will kill you so it’s a pretty lethal because it does both and um that way you can’t move out to

Out of the way of later so you’re instantly dead so um yeah pretty cool um another thing the last one is the yellow one and what this basically does whoops look let me put it in there is um that it just emits light so you can also here put all sorts of uh

Stuff in there the um diamond of course will make it more bright it will adds four light levels with every power level i believe or something and if you put an advanced one in there an ender pearl it will make it go through blocks so let me just make this

And it should be night right now it is as you can see these give up very little light but if i switch it around it gives off more light and when i put a block right here now it will go through there so um that’s basically what that does

Let me if you’ve got a purple one as you can see when i try to walk through there oh makes it dark but when i try to walk through here it also slows me down probably can’t see much because it’s dark but um just believe me it does

I think i can make some creations with this so i’ve got some ideas so let’s see if i can work them out all right right here i’ve got a very quick example of something you can use to travel very quickly or make blocks travel very quickly and um yeah i’m just

Right here i step in here and whoop there we go and yeah blocks go just as fast this way so you can perfectly use it for a mob trap or anything else so yeah pretty cool oh and i didn’t even show this yet with the red one it can also burn blocks

As you can see okay sorry peter but i just had to do this kill it with fire or with laser whatever oh these lasers are cool another example i’m walking into my house i find my switch my lever and there we go i’ve got a nice lit up house and yeah

It’s pretty nice this is one of the yellow laser and you can actually hide that by adding an ender pearl to the recipe and like that you can yeah make it shoot through blocks so you can just put a block in front of this so you can hide it

All right here i’ve got another small example this one’s very easy when this one gets activated or um gets deactivated actually when someone walks through the laser the killer beam will be activated you can just let’s say spawn three zombies and i jump over it or something and then they all die

Very easily so um yeah here’s another one and this one is slightly more complicated it has an rs nor latch in it and what this basically does is that it whenever you walk on this one it will turn off until you walk um through this one and then it

Will turn on again but um i’ve set this one up with nine power and like this it will only be activated by the player so it will shine through maps and that way it won’t be activated if mobs walk through it oops quick maybe but let’s test it out should work fine

Oops let’s go look through there it will be activated again and zombies will die right well those are just some very simple things you can do with this mod it is a great mod so um i would really ask you to go check it out it is just amazing

So um yeah i hope you enjoyed this video but download link will be in the description by the way as always but yeah i hope you enjoyed the video thanks for watching and i hope to see you next time me
