Todd13 Plays – Chicken Falls! | Let’s Play! Minecraft Ep.150

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 150 of the let’s play World what a milestone super super excited and I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all the people who tune in each week and watch these you know I could play Minecraft by myself the reason I

Bother making these episodes is because of you because you like to tune in because you chime in in the comments and you give me ideas and give me suggestions and I just really really appreciate you all so the project we’re going to work on today I never bothered to put on the

Wall of tasks I’ve had this idea this Vision kind of floating around for the longest time and today we’re gonna do it before we do that I just wanted to take a look at the wall of tasks and update a few things so Library enchanting room we did that

And through the magic of Minecraft 1.20 I don’t have to remove the signs I can just erase the text super super cool let’s see we have not done that we’ve not done that we’ve not done that clean up the nether Hub we did that we still need to finish the purple and

Black floor and ceiling but once we get a wool Farm we can finish that up let’s see over here another tunnel to the mangrove swamp we’re still working on that we’ve made a ton of progress but we’re not quite done there yet let’s see haven’t done that I haven’t done that

Haven’t done that this is probably going to be coming up soon I have a plan to kind of clear out that nether fortress and I think we’re gonna do this over there but that’s about as far as we’ve gotten So today we’re going to do a little bit of exploring we are gonna

Grab a couple of maps and what we’re going to do is we’re going to fly across the top here we’re going to work on these two maps and somewhere over here right where that little green space is there’s something that we discovered several episodes ago and it really kind

Of stuck with me so that’s the plan we’re going to grab the maps head across the top and end up here oh yeah while I’m thinking about it I was walking literally right here and I turned the corner and a creeper is standing there I don’t know how I don’t

Know where it spawned and it really freaked me out fortunately I slapped it down the stairs and then was able to kill it but I installed a mod and when I pushed this button I can see the light level on each of the squares it’s a

Pretty cool uh addition and I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to check this out but if you’re looking to spawn proof a build this is a really really cool way to do it if the uh numbers get down below one it turns red

So it’s pretty obvious when you’ve got a place where mobs can spawn so I think to start off today we’re going to work on finishing up this map we’re gonna kind of fly off in this direction and fill some of it out Foreign Foreign Foreign Look at that another zombie village Saw a zombie hoof out of existence there that’s wild that we found two of these in our world There we go that’s the weird thing I remember seeing just this bizarre Windswept cliff So weird So yeah we’re going to build something right here and what we’re going to build is a waterfall but not just any waterfall we’re gonna do a waterfall of chickens so when chickens fall they kind of float down and they don’t really take fall damage and so I’ve always had this idea

That it would be cool to make a waterfall of chickens so what we’re going to do is we will probably make something up here that is just a little bit of a lip so the chickens will come over the cliff a little bit and then what I want to do is

Down here have something of a collection area so that the chickens can fall in there and then some sort of contraption to get them back up so that they just keep kind of recycling over and over yeah so yeah I think the first thing to do is

Figure out a suitable place to build the top of the falls and then we’ll make sure that it’s kind of clear unobstructed for the chickens and then we’ll do the collection area at the bottom so this thing is pretty weird shaped it’s kind of skinny and

Kind of zigzags back and forth in order to have a column to bring the chickens back up needs to have a little bit of depth here and so I think somewhere around here is where the waterfall should probably be so I’m going to put a torch right there

And then we’re going to fly down and see what it looks like from down below through all the snow we can kind of see right there that’s where the the torch is and if we built it out a little bit you know just a little bit of a cliff

Face so that the chickens kind of fell here that would look pretty good okay so what I’m thinking is right around here is where the water column will come up and then it will kind of drain off in this direction and then hopefully fall straight down there

Somewhere so we’ll need to clean that up down there the other thing I was thinking about is you know water freezes in cold biomes but I think it only freezes if it has Sky access and so if the water column is covered then it shouldn’t freeze and then of course this

Will be running water so I think we’ll be okay we just have to make sure that our water that is standing our water source blocks don’t have Sky access oh Okay so we’ve got one two three four five six so if we had a water Source block here it would want to go

Eight so potentially we could stop it from you know going any further with like a fence gate or something like that other option is we could back this up just a little bit further one two four five seven really doable right okay let’s go ahead and dig down here and

See if we can match up with our pool at the bottom okay we did it ooh digging down never uh never safe or fun it’s always a little spooky Okay so chicken falls down lands in little pool of water gets flushed this way and goes back up to the top foreign

A weird mechanic I put the glow like in here and it keeps the water from spilling over but it still kind of runs out on top of the glow like and it’s very very weird looking so rather than have that weird water glitch going on I just built the Shelf

Out one more block and I think it looks pretty good I might add a little bit more underneath here with the stone just to smooth it out a little bit but otherwise I think it looks pretty good all right might need to play with this a little bit because like right now I’ve

Got water running from the back towards our water column and in the middle things are all good but on the side if a chicken lands here it’s just going to get washed up against the wall so I need to direct these water streams so that they all filter into here

Okay I widened it up a little bit put water sources in each corner and it all seems to kind of flow to a central spot now I’ve got a sign so that the water doesn’t flow backwards and then a bit of packed ice right there so hopefully the

Chickens will just slip right into this water stream and go back up I think the next thing to do is throw a couple chickens in there and test it out I’ve had ever since I made that old chicken farm I’ve had a whole bunch of eggs just kind of sitting around

I’m going to use these and so what I’m going to do is throw some eggs until I get a baby chicken and see if it’ll uh get swept up and come back out there’s one scoots right in our loiters on the ice for a little bit see if we get another one

Maybe if there’s a few chickens in here they might push each other in there we go all right another baby chicken comes and does it push the other one in almost all right I’m gonna cheat a little bit and see if I can get one in there there we go

Now what I’m curious about is how far out will they come shooting like is it gonna shoot the chicken’s way out here see what happens here oh I didn’t even see them like there they are right there like they didn’t render in I’ll have to up my uh render distance

Now you land perfectly and you did pretty well as well then back in you go looks like that guy went I might need to troubleshoot this a little bit and maybe they’ll behave differently when they’re adult chickens so I put some more ice there just to kind of help them scoot along and

They’ve gone around a couple of times so I’m feeling pretty confident that once there’s more chickens they’ll just keep scooching each other in there I guess let’s get more chickens so this thing is working pretty well you know the chickens slowly fall down they get picked up by the water stream they

Eventually get sucked back into the water elevator make their way back to the top and come down again a couple bits of redstone I’m thinking about one is maybe like a little piston to push them into the water stream so we don’t get any of this crowding and fighting

The water stream that would just move things along a little quicker the other thing I’m thinking about is these guys are going to grow up and they’re eventually going to start laying eggs and it might be cool to have like a hopper to pick up those eggs and then

Have the hopper feed them into an automatic dispenser so that they just turn into more chickens okay what I’ve installed down here is a piston surrounded by some glazed terracotta so that the Slime doesn’t get stuck and basically these little guys land in the water they get washed over

Here and then the Piston just shoots them right into the water stream so um all that’s going on back here it’s just a little clock that goes around and around and around I’ll seal this up here and then see here when this guy gets down here how this goes perfect

The other thing I did up here is right where the water stream comes out I put a hopper and right underneath the hopper is a dispenser and so if I can get over here the dispenser right here is just shooting into the water stream and anytime something ends up in here

Just does the little automatic dispenser thing shoots that off and potentially we could end up with some more baby chickens getting added to the system every once in a while I see a chicken and I wonder if it’s naturally occurring or if it escaped occasionally some were climbing up on

Top and you can see what I did here as far as like building up the edges here because they were hopping off onto some of these Ledges so Um yeah like that sort of thing I definitely need to make sure they can’t get up there because especially the adult chickens they can jump pretty high in the water so you want to make sure that they’re not doing that all right I’m gonna grab some eggs and

See how many chickens I can get in here it’s looking pretty awesome the more chickens fill out the system they just keep kind of floating down and recycling through it’s interesting you’ll see chickens every once in a while somewhere else and most of them just fall straight down and

Go back through the system but every once in a while you’ll see one that’ll just sort of fly out in a random Direction like over here there’s like a little group of them and you’ll just see like one chicken decide yeah there goes one it’s gonna do something different

And go join these guys very very peculiar and I don’t understand the pathfinding exactly as far as why they’re doing that yeah that’s pretty cool you also see some eggs every once in a while like there was one that just kind of skipped through the system every time I’ve gone

Up there it’s doing it you know it’s catching the eggs and firing them off but a few depending on where they get uh laid by the chickens they do sneak through the system but yeah pretty cool I’m gonna let it do its thing for a while and see if the

Chickens build up or if they fade out a little bit and uh see how that goes I think there’s more chickens and you can see somehow chickens are like ending up everywhere it’s just ridiculous yeah it definitely feels like there’s more chickens well very fun we’re gonna mark this on

The map and then we’re gonna head back to base we’re just gonna hide a banner over here and tap the map and now it says chicken Falls you want to talk about what this pathfinding isn’t this weird look how many chickens have flown over in this direction like a ton really weird

Not sure why they want to do that it’s just chickens everywhere all right we’re gonna pick up our mess shoot all right off we go foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign This goes right there this one I think here no no no it goes here that one goes there yep and this one goes here and now we have a new location called chicken Falls pretty fun pretty uh ridiculous like I was saying but that’s what this is all

About right building weird things so that our world is more interesting I definitely wanted to do more exploring up here but this was a lot more complicated than I had imagined it would be so no big deal we’ll get up there in future episodes and do a bunch more exploring

And that’s where I’m going to wrap this one up thank you all so much for watching 150 episodes of this let’s play I really really appreciate it please like And subscribe if you want to follow along on the adventure and I hope to see you all in the next one bye Foreign
