Smartest Base in Minecraft

I’ve woken up this morning with a really smart idea what if i could create the smartest space in minecraft now what i mean by this is a base where everything is kind of within arm’s reach so you only have to stand in the middle of your base you don’t have to worry about

Wandering around looking for things everything is accessible from one spot in the base basically what i’m trying to say is it’s a base for lazy people it’s a it’s a place for people that don’t like moving around too much and don’t like looking for things you just stand

In one spot grab whatever you need then leave so it’s absolutely perfect for me first things first we need to work out the entrance to this thing and of course with this being a smart base or a lazy base whatever you want to call it uh we

Don’t want to walk into position we don’t have to go through a door and then stand in the correct place instead we’re going to make it so that you actually enter the base in the spot that you need to stand so i guess the first thing i have to do is

Work out the optimum reach distance so i can’t quite reach that chest there but i can reach all of these ones i can reach that one but i can’t reach that one up at the top so that means that this is the correct height for our

Cauldron so how many blocks does it have to drop it has she has to drop down a lot of blocks that’ll be well one two three four five six seven seven piston extender i’m actually really surprised by how far my guy can reach look i can actually i can have

Access to that chest over there now that’s really really handy because we’re three blocks out from here and this is three blocks across which means that actually we can build a pretty big square around this dude this dude being me i don’t know why i kept referring to

Myself in third person there so we have a lot more space to work with than i was expecting and i guess the first thing that we should do is work on getting this cauldron from up here all the way to down here and of course the way that

We’re going to be doing that is by making use of flying machines it should actually be pretty plain sailing those are always very famous last words and i almost got myself into a muddle but then i managed to sort it out so here we have the little flying machine now the issue

That i was having is that we are right on the edge of the block push limit here so i had to think of a creative way to be able to power this piston and actually involve something that i haven’t personally used before which is gravity blocks and things to allow kind

Of like a movable power source you can see it moving down there and then up like this this is where it’s important because that concrete powder is actually what’s powering the piston so it’s a it’s a pretty handy little system and our little cauldron is going from the surface

Right the way down to where we need it to be and then we can pop it back up to the surface just by updating the bottom now before we finalize all of this redstone there is a little extra something that i want to be able to do

Here which i’m not entirely sure how much you’re going to pull off what i want to have is a little armor equipping station so we can hit a button our cauldron will then drop down two more blocks these dispensers will fire they’ll equip us with armor and then the

Cauldron will pop up back to here um Yeah i’m not i’m not entirely sure how we’re going to do that to be honest but i am going to give it my best shot i’m going to try my best and i really do think i’m on something here so down at the bottom this is our removable object

Which stops our cauldron from traveling any further but as you can see we can actually retract that movable object two blocks further down so this flying machine is now able to fly further so if i update this observer right here it will then drop down a little bit and

Our cauldron is in the correct position and then when we want it to come back up we power this piston right here and then we need to really quickly power one of these pistons by doing some updating action and there we go all right now i just

Need to wire that by the way that was my first time actually trying it out so you could probably tell i wasn’t 100 certain if it was gonna work and just so you know that is still the case even now i’ve put quite a lot of time into this

Thing i’m hoping that all of the circuitry should function as planned and everything should go well okay oh that was so close that was so close the dispenser’s fired a tiny bit too early right let’s give that another whirl just with a slight tweak to the pair of those that should

Be all it takes to be honest with you right let’s take a look here if i can actually get inside the cauldron naked button press boom that is so cool oh so much development went into that little armor equipping station but i would say it is well worth it because that is

That is fantastic right the next little piece that we have to add in is a way to actually get back up to the surface so i’m hoping yep that button seems to work for really i love this thing i love the idea of just a little cauldron that you hop into

And then you drop down speaking of which i actually have to make the down button now and because of course this isn’t a hidden base we’re not exactly trying to sneak a cauldron in landscape here i can actually use a regular button which is quite nice and if i press this

There we go we then drop down into the correct position and then if i hit this button here i get equipped with armor and then if i hit this button here i go back up to the surface this might be my favorite redstone contraption ever okay let’s

Stop fanning about with that and stuff and actually start building up some of the important elements of the base first thing i wanted to get sorted were the bare essentials basically the crafting benches the anvils the grindstones i think that’s what they’re called i always forget their name but they’re

Incredibly useful the beds the ender chests and then i’ve also got a few extra chests down here too i’ve also just thought i should probably chuck some stone cutters into the mix and just for the sake of symmetry i’ve added four of them that is looking pretty cool as a

Central hub i don’t know if i’m just being daft here but i’m really really surprised by the size of the wall of chess that we can fit in this place like look every single one of these is easily accessible i mean easy-ish you kind of have to really right click on

The corner of that one right there but we can just about access it i mean this is a good amount of storage i was i was expecting this to be a compromise but no we’re flying which by the way is english for we’re doing great we’re we’re having a good time i you

Know what i that’s probably used quite a lot i probably just oh i’ve made it out that everyone else is ignorant i tell you what that’s not flying okay that’s definitely not flying which having listened back to that recording it sounds like i’m saying flying like i’m mispronouncing the word

Fine that’s a mess anyway that’s enough of that time to work on the next redstone contraption and this one’s definitely going to be interesting we’re going to be making use of these two buttons here and probably another one in the wall too i really like the idea of

Certain items being delivered to us i would say food firework rockets maybe ender pearls why why is life so difficult i’ve managed to make i should make an iron dispenser the dispenser is 63 items i don’t even know how there’s eight there’s eight droppers that’s not a multiple of eight it

Doesn’t make any sense i do love quasi connectivity 99.99 of the time but then the things like this happen and i start to reconsider my life you know in case it wasn’t clear that is the dropper that’s not firing this one right here they’re just there that one

Any ideas manage to solve it with some jiggling around off the droppers and now we should have all three parts of the system up and running so let’s let’s give it a quick tester then okay this one gives us 64 golden carrots that’s incredibly satisfying hitting this one

64 firework rockets love that and then ender pearls nice i hadn’t tested that and all of them worked straight away as you could probably tell from the excitement in my voice that doesn’t happen very often normally normally it takes yet a lot more than the first try right i thought i’ll get

Straight to work on the next wall important things happening here one of them being enchanting goodness me it’s difficult to get into a cold room when you want to be in a cauldron right so we’ve got the charging table down on the bottom there in fact

Now i think about it i should probably chuck a chest in with a little bit of lapis so that i can easily get that because otherwise that will drive me around the bend but then up at the top here i also have some brewing stations which i’m currently working on

Automating just a tiny bit just a small bit of the process being automated nothing really too complicated if i hit this button right here we should see that nether wart will be then loaded into our brewing stand and that will start brewing up and then

Also if i hit this button here which is our fire resistance potion network will go into there and then if we take a look over here eventually once this thing has finished brewing and we’ll get the awkward potions i think yep then the sugar is in place ready to

Make swiftness and then on this side blaze powder fire resistance once again really nothing too groundbreaking in that department but with that being said it is incredibly handy having this sort of thing at arm’s length also okay i really need to i should probably learn my potions a little bit more we’ve

Got potions of strength moving swiftly on from that one without really much messing about i’ve built up the final wall and this wall is pretty important because of course this is our furnace wall i’ve got two sets of super smelters here and i’m saying super smelters in inverted commerce because they’re

Oh they’re they’re they’re a bit 2012. um they’re not you know yeah i mean it’s kind of a super smelter it’s faster than a single furnace it’s not crazy quick but the reason that i’ve done it like this is because i wanted to have two different types of

Furnace in here so on this side we have got the blast furnaces which is specifically for things like ores so that essentially smelts ores at the speed of four furnaces which is you know it’s not it’s not breakneck speeds but it’s decently quick and then on this side we have regular furnaces so

If we’re converting stone to smooth stone and that sort of thing then we can use those oh and of course in the middle we’ve just got a bunch of smokers there’s no redstone involved in those but i thought it might be handy to have if we’re smelting up a bunch of food uh

So there we go that is our smart base all done and dusted i mean i gotta say i’m i’m really really happy with how this concept has come together i mean we can access all the chests so we have a pretty large storage system we can access potion brewing stations we’ve got

Enchanting we’ve got beds crafting benches anvils and the chest we’ve got the grindstones and things we have easy access to food we have easy access to firework rockets we have easy access to ender pearls as well super smelters we’ve got armor equipping stations which work in a really really cool way

That’s pretty fancy and of course the way that we get in and out of the base it’s just it’s super cool isn’t it there’s something about this that it’s just it’s good fun let me just pop into my cauldron drop down into my base pop into my cauldron

Drop down into my base i’ve broken something pop into my cauldron and drop down into my base yeah that’s that’s a little bit more like it right i really really like this thing it’s been a lot of fun to work on i hope that you’ve enjoyed it too and

I’ll catch you in the next video see ya you know it’s funny over the past couple days i’ve been really struggling with redstone projects i’ve done about four different redstone videos all of which just totally failed on me and i then spent a whole day trying to

Think of redstone ideas none of them came to me and as soon as i gave up and said you know what i’m done a bunch of cool redstone ideas came to me this was one of them so you know sometimes you just have to wait
