So I Broke POWDER SNOW In Minecraft…

Oh yes 21w05a a beautiful snapshot that introduces lush cave blocks doesn’t even introduce lush caves just the blocks themselves we have azalea azalea bushes moss and glowberries that don’t even make you glow that’s kind of a disappoint and we even have some changes to the skulk sensors

Overall it’s a pretty good snapshot and wait what you can push powdered snow with that but despite this snapshot having a ton of cool features we’re not going to be talking about any of them in today’s video we’re gonna be focusing on one part that this snapshot introduced

Powdered snow now i can hear you already saying but craftymasterman they already introduced powdered snow in a different snapshot and yes that is correct but in this snapshot you can now push and pull powdered snow with pistons making it the very first dispensable block in minecraft

Which is pretty cool so let’s say we have a dispenser here we put our powdered snow bucket in here and we do this boom block appears we can do that we can move it put into another dispenser and we can suck that block up again this this

This is pretty interesting and it also brings along a few bugs one of the first things that came into my head is making some sort of elevator where you dispense a powdered snow block and then would go all the way up and then the top would just suck it back in

So then i started designing so i’m like okay we’ll put a piston here we’ll put a dispenser here we’ll put our powdered snow in here and then i push the button and this happened the block just teleported up to here so i don’t know the exact timings but

Basically what’s happening you push this button this gets butted and when the powder snow appears it updates the piston so it just instantly goes diagonally but it gets even weirder when you use a sticky piston so if i just do that and get another powdered snow bucket over here

Replace that we can get something weird like this so the extension completely normal but that time it retracts but the retraction it extends it disappears but it still gets picked up by the powdered snow bucket so then i started experimenting okay let’s take an observer output

From that block and see if it actually exists we’ll put a observer here and a lamp just to show you so extension yes the block is real on retraction however there is no block that is detected by the observer so then i did it one more time and i right click the block

And it’s actually a ghost block so then i’m like oh my god okay so how about we do this put a block on top and then do it again and there we go we have a new ghost block generator and as of me recording this clip right now i have not found

Anything on the bug tracker that mentions a ghost block generator using powdered snow so that means i was the first to find a glitch and i’m so proud and i’m so awesome and if you want to know how i find glitches like these i actually stream this

Live on my discord server so guess what i’m going to plug my discord server sometimes you can catch me finding ghost block glitches like this so the only people that know about this is a select few that were in that discord call so join the discord server so anyways the next

Thing i thought of is okay how do i automate this i need to come up with a piston layout so first i’m like okay we’ll do the same setup we’ll have a sticky piston a dispenser put our thing in here and now we need some other piston

To do this and push a block on top so the sequence would go something like this it’d go like that this would extend and then it would go something like that that will retract and then it does something like this to reset and then we can repeat you can push this

And then push this create the ghost block and then do a final retraction so yeah we can make ghost blocks like this so then i started designing and after a ton of brain scratching and headaches i came up with these two designs this is a wall builder so it’ll push the ghost

Blocks up and this one over here is a floor builder and it pushes the blocks like horizontally like a floor so i do have to give some credit where credit is due um this was not part of the final well this is the final design but ganymede really helped like he

Didn’t actually contribute anything to the final design but he was there designing stuff and i kind of based this version off the timings that he’d already made with his previous designs so yeah big shout outs to ganymede and anyone else on my discord server that made their own versions

Of this ghostblock generator so enough rambling let’s just see this in action so there we go it does the exact same thing but it does it a little bit differently so basically this extends like on both edges and this tries to extend but it doesn’t because the ghost block

Well the powdered snow is generated here and then this will push this retracts and we get our ghost block so let’s just see that again there we go and this extends this retracts and we get our ghost blocks we can right click them wow look how cool they are and then we

Have this floor version so if we just do this push the button as you can see ghost blocks get generated and it is pretty cool now you could probably build this just by looking at them not going to do a tutorial but yeah this is dispenser but our

Powdered snow in here sticky piston sticky piston redstone dust three tick repeater very obvious stuff and then all these observers are facing towards like the left side so as you can see the arrows are all facing this way we have some torches we have a button

It also works with the wooden button or turning a lever on and off and then think for this one we have observer facing the back then down then observer facing this piston we got our lamp an observer facing this way you can tell by the arrow a slab

That’s important and yeah we have our pistons so then i’m like okay but i want to expand them so then i made of these beautiful creatures over here so this is my um my ghost block wall maker so oh that’s not that’s supposed to be on three ticks

So we power this and look at that it builds a wall out of nothing this is literally a wall that doesn’t exist and it’s pretty crazy so and i can turn it off like that and there’s some pretty weird things about ghost blocks so the way they work is it’s a client-side bug

So if this was on a server and then someone were to just come from the distance come over here they would just see me floating in the air they would not see these blocks whatsoever these blocks only exist for me and only me entities don’t even like count

The blocks i throw a trident at this the trident goes right through to the other side and there’s also some other funny glitches if you throw any items on here then it’ll have a hard time and it kind of slowly clips through the blocks so that block is kind of stuck in there

For like all of eternity and also if we get a minecart get some rails and we do something like this and actually shove mine carts into there very interesting very weird so let’s get a redstone block just do this put a minecart and boom well okay i thought that would

Go but it did not there we go our mine cart is now inside this wall and it just fell right through so that is pretty weird so there are two ways to get rid of this wall the first way is updating every single ghost block but that is very slow

Or the second way is just relogging you just exit the world go back in and all the blocks disappear like they were never there because they were not there so another cool application of ghost blocks if i have a block up here and i just make like a sort of floor pathway

And i get a door like this and i start generating this wall those blocks will actually push this door in a very strange way like that now we have a hidden door so to me the person who actually generated the ghost blocks i have no idea what is here but i can

Right click and wow we have a door and we can open it and we can walk on through same thing works if you have like a minecart rail on some blocks and you push this up you can even have like a secret minecart rail it’s pretty interesting so here is one slice

Of that wall maker as you can see the only thing we added is this sticky piston that powers this entire thing again and then we have like this locking repeater fail safe so that means if i flick the lever at the wrong time it’s not going to break because

We have this locked repeater set up and also we have carpets because we can cover the floor like that and yeah let’s just look at this that is what this does like that so yeah that is our wall version but we also have a floor version

So i turn this on and as you can see we start getting iron blocks being pumped out like a freaking factory and it’s so amazing and we just unpower that we stop it and ghost blocks also work in another strange way so if you have a pressure plate

Under here like this and you also get a redstone lamp you can do some funny stuff like this if i were to stand on this block and kind of wiggle a little bit eventually you will see that redstone lamp turn on just like that it’s a bit hard because

The client and the server are like fighting each other and they don’t know if you’re standing on the pressure plate or not it’s pretty interesting you could also do something like this where if you get a wood and pressure plate just do that and boom you can throw an item and look

At that it just snaps to the pressure plate and lights up the lamp so you could do some pretty interesting things with ghost blocks but just to remind you they all disappear once you re-log so here is one slice of the floor maker so the one

Thing i changed is that i added a target block over here so i can extend the redstone line and also you can actually just really easily put a clock in here by putting a repeater here and then powering the dust here and the same thing we have like this locking repeater setup

So then we don’t break it at all if we try to spam it or anything like that so that is the floor builder very cool very nice so yeah that’s about it um i don’t think that anyone else has discovered this aside from the people that were in that call and made their

Own designs so yeah mojang please keep powdered snow being pushable i don’t know how you’re exactly gonna fix this ghost block bug but who really cares it’s an interesting bug ghost blocks are cool and yeah so anyways this is a pretty short video i don’t even know if i’m gonna get mid

Rolls but i don’t care this was just a little mini video so anyways this was a crafty mastermind i guess that’s my outro now and i’m gonna fall and break my legs
