As you guys know I create a lot of redstone contraptions I personally think that redstone is one of the most useful items in the game I mean, it allows us to create storage systems, which sort out items themselves Furnace smelters that are super fast and potion brewing stations that will make the potions for us It’s incredible But there are also a bunch of redstone contraptions that I personally work on that could be argued and a little bit pointless Let me explain now just as a quick disclaimer before we begin just because some of these things are pointless Doesn’t mean that. They’re not really really cool in fact in my eyes the more pointless the better I love working on pointless redstone contraptions And I will continue to work on pointless redstone contraptions because for me they’re probably the most fun lighting systems I build off lighting systems of my time and most of them are based on the premise that when you walk into a room the Lights turn on and when you walk out of said room all of the light switch off This is how it works in real life, so why shouldn’t it work like this in Minecraft. Well. It’s because in real life There’s no chance of this sort of thing happening when I turn off my bathroom light There’s no chance that when I walk in the next morning, and I turn on the light I’m going to be greeted by a witch in there It’s just it’s just not how it functions so as cool as this is Me hitting this button here and turning all of these lights on in a lovely smooth way It kind of doesn’t quite work does it? Because when things get dark things also get dangerous despite the fact that I’ve just called this design pointless I’m actually pretty happy with how I’ve managed to execute it now This is actually inspired by my recent video of the 1×1 pixel display all we’ve got is a chain of observers causing updates more observers Detecting those updates sending them round to all the redstone lamps. It works. Well guys Before I do this, I just want to make sure that I can trust you okay because I’m being deadly serious here. You can’t tell anyone about this, okay? I have hidden something extremely important in this area And I just I I really don’t want anyone to find it because it’s incredibly precious to me It’s a crafting bench I’ve Hidden away my crafting bench now. This is a huge trend in the Minecraft community I personally have uploaded a ton of videos of different hidden crafting bench designs There are all sorts of different tutorials on YouTube of how to build cool hidden crafting benches And I’ve even gone a bit crazy with it and bill absolutely massive and fancy designs for them But if you take a bit of a step back It’s a little bit pointless isn’t it I mean let’s be honest here Who wants to hide away a crafting bench? Me keep your dirty hands away from my crafting bench right now what you see in front of you is a very big relatively expensive and also relatively time-consuming to build Piston elevator if we hope inside this minecart and hit this button Will begin being launched up by the slime blocked and it’s pretty good fun It’s a cool design, and it works reliably on servers. I personally absolutely love this thing, but let’s be honest It’s not the speediest thing on the planet in fact I would say that a ladder wouldn’t be too much slower than this But also there are much faster and much cheaper designs out there for example The old right-click e minecart design and when you start getting into the realm of these sorts of piston elevators Which this one is clearly extremely complicated? It’s also very slow and only transports you around about five blocks in total, then you really start hitting the realm of pointlessness But as a fun fact This is one of my most viewed elevators on my You Tube channel, so I guess you guys like pointless things Oh gosh, this one’s gonna ruffle some feathers Piston doors now. I love building piston doors. I have built tons upon tons of piston doors in fact I would say about 10% of my registering videos are based around piston doors, but let’s be totally honest this Does just as much of a good a job as this in fact if anything? This thing’s worse it takes longer to open it uses tons more resources And you can’t see through it being able to see it through it I don’t know if that’s a positive or not But I’d I went into that list thinking that I had three items I could only think of two of them, so that was the one that I want for okay I don’t script these videos loss of words aside I will add that this is like comparing a Peugeot to a Ferrari 250 GTO Both of them will get you to the supermarket, but one of them is going to make you look really cool It’s the it’s the Ferrari 250 GTO I felt like that went without saying But I just wanted to quickly clarify just in case anyone with satellite confused now another thing that I personally absolutely love building minecraft is Combination locks in fact some of my earliest redstone videos and some of my earliest redstone projects that I took on in Minecraft were Combination locks trying my best to create combination locks with the highest number of or combinations, but let’s be totally honest here Okay, when you build a combination knock you’re sort of relying on trust You’re relying on trust because you’re hoping that the player that wanders into your base and encounters your combination lock doesn’t think to themselves huh yeah That’s just I guess that’s a pretty cool combination lock and then break the blocks of the door that the combination lock is meant to Be protecting still the items and run out of your base now because I have a fairly positive outlook on humans in general I like to think that most people aren’t scumbags and will try their best to take on the combination lock I like to think of this a bill for gentlemen’s rule however that isn’t the case is it? I would say nine times out of ten You’re gonna end up with a hole in the door situation doesn’t matter how many millions of billions of possible combinations you have Nothing’s going to beat the pickaxe one thing that I like to install around pretty much all of my bases are Endor stations And what these do is they? Allow you to get one full stack of ender pearls with the press of a button you see we hit that there And then we get exactly sixteen being shot out once we pick them all up from the floor now these things are really simple Consisting of a wooden button to droppers and then three redstone torches three blocks on one piece of redstone – set up in this formation They take seconds to build a no person you think they look really cool, but I mean That that was faster, it doesn’t look as good, and if these were sorted into specs it would have been even faster You don’t really need something like this Do you I mean you just have ender pearls in a chest and you could pick them up as you walk past? And the problem continues with another one of my personal favorite redstone contraptions if you’ve seen one of my piston houses It’s guaranteed to have one of these and I have to say This is a really really cool design as you can see right now I’m completely naked, but if we stand in this block here and hit this button boom I am fully clothed and looking at really really good now I have built tons of different designs for armor equipping stations most of them involving Pistons double extenders triple extenders shooting through armor droppers. It’s there’s loads of crazy stuff going on This is probably one of the simplest ones, but once again the rule the rule still applies It’s very easy to just reach inside a chest pick up the armor and equip it You don’t really need a designated place to go to to Actually put on your armor you you can kind of do it yourself Yeah, you could probably do it yourself Probably faster, too. I hope you guys realize how soul-destroying this video is to make these are all my contraptions been blasted now Thankfully I’m feeling pretty confident that while I ran to say isn’t going to annoy anyone because the source of people that get annoyed about What I’m about to say already left when I said the piston doors were pointless but here goes Farms now. I’m not saying all farms are pointless because most homes aren’t pointless I’m just saying that massive farms like the ones that I have in my base right now They are a little bit pointless down there I’ve got a storage system with 36 double chests for every single item that is being farmed by my base and all of those chests are full They are completely filled up with items, and they have been for the past four or five months. I don’t need 72 chests of sugarcane Either nobody needs that much sugarcane, but here’s the thing these farms are still running They’re still producing items, and those items are still flowing into the sorting system But then they’re being chucked out because they’re producing too many items. I don’t have enough storage space for them They’re ridiculously efficient that over the top and some could say that they are a little bit pointless I still love them though. I mean this place looks great We’re getting towards the height of pointlessness now player launches TT bass player launches if I pop down to the bottom here and hit this button This begins to happen I had totally forgotten how laggy this machine is but if we press f3 You can see that this machine has launched us, so that is 12,000 block 15,000 blocks, I mean I’ve done this a couple times before we will continue at this speed. I’m assuming This is terminal velocity for Minecraft up to around about 35,000 blocks in for the sky say 5,000 blocks now. This is already pointless because Nothing’s gonna be up here. It’s just gonna be void you can’t build higher than 255 blocks But it’s also pointless because if we set ourselves into survival mode here and give it a test It’s quite predictable what what’s gonna happen I mean we’re not gonna. Go anywhere are we? All that TNT just blows us up so this is a machine that sends us pointlessly high into the sky But only in creative mode otherwise You just die but ladies and gentlemen I can take you one level of pointlessness higher than that Because when I hit this button right here, we should see something magical begins to happen so first off the floor is now opening up And as you can see a house is beginning to pop up from underneath the ground now This figure is ridiculously cool And then we should also see but yet there we go we do have a bit of a bug infestation But all of those stone blocks have popped off We saw a very horrible sound noise imagine going to move away from but there we go self building structure all done and dusted B is the deal This is a one use redstone contraption so once you press that button and it’s pushed your house up to the surface It’s now done There’s no way that you can pull this house Back underneath the ground, and there’s no way that you can build another house somewhere else using this redstone contraption. It’s finished to complete it Now if we take a look underneath the ground you can see that. This is this is a pretty serious redstone contraption I mean we’ve got lots of piston action going on We’ve got all sorts of resources involved this would be a serious build if you were to take it on Now let’s just do the maths here. I think you’d probably be better off to just build the house Yeah, you just be better off filled in the house forget all this redstone nonsense Just build the house and forget about it so there we go I guess that concludes today’s redstone video where I have concluded that all my previous redstone videos Bob Maybe a small number of them have been totally and utterly pointless So I’m going to go and cry myself to sleep tonight into my pillow anyway I hope you enjoyed this video if you did please lots of that like button and if you really loved it then make sure to Subscribe, but thanks for watching guys.
