I spent hours on this cursed Minecraft build

This video is sponsored by expressvpn and features what might just be the weirdest sponsored segment I’ve ever done which is very fitting for this video because this Redstone Contraption is probably going to be one of the weirdest ones I’ve built in a little while as well you know Redstone doors

Right the door goes in the middle and then you have all of the Redstone around it like this or this or this what if I was to make a door where the Redstone was on the inside and the door was on the outside I mean it would be a totally

Cursed looking thing I hope things are getting weird already even Minecraft doesn’t want me to construct what I’m about to build oh boy okay so this is the space of the Redstone and then this this outer ring here this is going to be our piston door that is possibly the

Most horrific thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life now I’m going to start things off with my GT version because I you know I don’t think this counts instead of building the Redstone door where the blocks get retracted inwards I’ve built it so that the blocks get pushed outwards which definitely works

Like it works really really well look we’ve got ourselves an open very bad looking door and the closing works as well it’s all incredibly fast this thing’s rapid and it’s fairly compact as well I mean this thing’s only two blocks wide ah I don’t know I just I

Feel like having the blocks be pushed towards the outer edge of the door that’s against the spirit of what I had in mind for this build because although I acknowledged that this door is absolutely horrendous I want to build this horrendous door properly so it can be properly horrendous if you’re gonna

Do something wrong do it wrong right so now the real challenge begins okay first things first the easy part retracting all of the blocks that are in straight lines this is the Piston layout that I’ve got and some of you may already be noticing why this is actually going to

Be quite a tricky Redstone Contraption but powering all of the Pistons themselves shouldn’t be too difficult I think something like this should do the trick that does all of them apart from these four Pistons here but with a little bit of Observer and Note Block action out

The back everything is all connected up so now flicking the lever extends all of the blocks and retract all of the blocks all in sync all looking good the corners are still left and how are we meant to get the corners I mean I can’t place a

Piston in here I can’t I can’t place a piston here that will retract these blocks because well the blocks of the door are there and there’s a piston here and I definitely wouldn’t be able to retract this block without doing some serious fiddling with pistons this is difficult it’s not impossible

But it’s difficult and we’ll get on to the hard stuff after this sponsored message this is me I recently spent 600 on private karate lessons protect myself from hackers trying to steal my data Don’t be like me just use expressvpn that’s that’s the thing that’s on the internet now okay seriously expressvpn it creates a secure tunnel between your device and the internet protecting it from being seen and your data being intercepted while on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks such as in coffee shops

No karate training requires but wait there’s more expressvpn lets you connect to servers in 94 different countries that means any website you visit thinks you’re in the country you select your favorite show is only available on the UK version of Netflix but you live in Japan just connect to the UK server and

You’ll sort it this was super useful for me when I was cycling through Europe and wanted to continue binging Paw Patrol as Canadian Netflix is the only place with all six seasons the season 4 finale was the highlight of the entire trip find out how you can get three months of

Expressvpn for free by heading over to expressvpn.com forward slash Mumbo or clicking on the link down in the description well I think we can all agree that was weird and I wish to put it out of my mind as fast as possible so I’ve given this some thought and I think

The best way to do it is by making use of slime blocks and what we’re going to do is we’re going to attract these blocks back by one block across by one block and then down by one block that seems like the only way to really do this actually now that I’m fiddling

Around with levers this could end up being embarrassingly easier than I expected you see in theory all I have to do is power this block then this block down here and then this piston which would push it all into place but of course that doesn’t quite work as

This piston here gets Bud powered means it powers itself too early and gets pushed into place before it’s been pushed upwards but we’re definitely on the right track okay we’re we’re getting somewhere I think I think the way that I’m gonna get around this is by firing

Two pulses into this block one at the very start of the sequence one at the very end of the sequence so on the opening we’ll use the one at the start of the sequence and on the closing we’ll use the one at the end of the sequence

If that made sense at all it probably didn’t honestly half the time even I don’t know what I’m talking about now another thing that I have to keep in mind is obviously I’ve got one of these for every four corners of the door which yeah keeping this compact which I

Really would like to do is going to be difficult because yeah I don’t I do not have much space for wiring here if I want this to only be what three four blocks wide oh this is gonna be a challenge and I’m not sure why I’m spending so much energy

Making this monstrosity compact but there we go I’ve seen what the smallest possible size is and now I want to make it the smallest possible size well I can’t say it’s not giving me headaches I mean I’m enjoying the challenge but this is tricky I’ve added in I’ve added in

The delay for this bottom piston and then trying to mirror said delay for this top piston right here just needs to be full ticks there’s not much space I swear I’m doing nothing but making things more difficult for myself I’m getting so confused what even is

Happening here I hate my life what if we go fully back to the drawing board like really really back to the drawing board here I’m gonna flip this piston around and then there’s going to be three on top and only two on this side seem to be going backwards somewhat but sometimes

Backwards progress is still progress is it I don’t know anymore is this some actual forward progress I have got the up and across system working so now all I have to do is make this piston here extend outwards and that will be this top Corner done

One of three corners but well I mean this corner should be exactly the same so that is fine the bottom ones I’m not gonna think about for a while oh oh wait has that actually that has actually just worked oh my goodness this thing has actually just worked on me I was actually

Starting to lose hope okay so I’ve got I’ve managed to build the top left corner this is taking me so long this has taken me so so long but that is incredibly incredibly exciting okay this is good this is good this is very very good and it all still fits within the footprint

That I had in mind I have no clue what I’m gonna do for the bottom though I think I’ve ruined things for the bottom okay yeah as much as it is very exciting that I got the top left corner working uh with the circuitry that I currently have in place

The bottom section is completely impossible so that’s good I could of course make the actual door itself a little bit bigger to give me a little bit more clearance but I kind of really want to do it in this size why am I doing this to myself

Nobody cares about this door no one’s ever gonna build it why am I making it so compact honestly for a door this stupid I’m sure people were happy with the first one why am I doing this to myself I’m gonna chug it up to a weird sort of morbid

Curiosity but a morbid curiosity that has taken hours but I’ve come back the next day and I don’t know why I’m feeling positive I feel like we’re on the final stages here I just need to get this last little bit don’t ask me why because I have no reason to be confident

But I weirdly feel like this might just work this is an incredibly long time later by the way here goes okay Corners out Yes are you joking me are you actually joking me this has actually worked holy mackerel that is ridiculous I can’t believe it Oh something else is broken ah something else is broken I forgot about powering this piston oh come on there has to be something I can do that yep yeah I yeah I think yep no I managed to sneak in a little bit of redstone dust down here this might just

Do it or it could break everything uh so that is the risk that I’m willing to take at this point in time I’m hoping and potentially succeeding oh my goodness never before have I put in so much effort for something so stupid but you know what now that we’ve

Got both sides in place and it’s fully wrapped up in blocks I can’t help but think this thing looks ridiculously awesome this looks so cool it looks like a piston door out of Star Wars or something it’s so weirdly futuristic I don’t know how to describe it I’ve never

Quite seen anything like it and of course everything is working properly even the opening and closing sequences are kind of weirdly cool why am I starting to like this I’m concerned for the fact that I’m really starting to like this you’re meant to be cursed you’re meant to be

Ugly I’m meant to be able to reach the end of the video and just completely blast you but instead I kind of want to build you in my base so I guess yeah the moral of the story is if you build a bad thing good then the bad thing becomes good

I think that’s a lesson
