Using Walls to create an LCD 7 Segment Display

#minecraft #minecraftshorts
This project was pretty short, but it was a lot of fun to make after figuring out the original concept for the backlit wall aligning setup.
It's only flaw is that it quickly becomes illegible the moment youre standing outside of the immediate 15 degree angle in front of the display. That's why I chose not to create a double digit display, as it would have decreased the quality of either one display.
Ultimately this isnt very practical but it looks cool which is basically enough in my book

What a unique idea, wish more people could see this ❤

[@BlackPistolYT]

Already seen it, already very interested in this.

[@techman8817]

Clever idea. Also a lot easier to understand than real LCDs.

[@fracazer]

All your videos are just pure genius, happy to have found this goldmine

SLIME RANCHER MUSIC W

[@SverreSissel]

The slime rancher music in the background XD

[@RespawnPoint_]

Love the slime rancher background music

[@user-vy5hc9ud6l]

Wow it even has Light bleed just like a real LCD:)

[@DemonSeedXP]

I was quite fond of this idea so I recreated it to see it in action in person. And I must say it's even cooler in person. To more thoroughly close the shutter and block light I found that using 3 rows of alternating walls and fences instead of 2 pretty much blocks every bit of the backlight form showing through. But once I stacked a few together it became painfully obvious just how impractical the concept is, because as soon as you get into the correct position to view a second display, you realize you are unable to see the first one! Douh!!

[@Juanchoperez05]

Loved this, is there any possibility of a tutorial/video/world download of it? Concept seems very cool (including the lectern part)

[@squibble111]

In like a couple days I'll release a wdl of the Beacon video, and this project happens to exist in the same world as it. You can find it there, when i post it

[@Juanchoperez05]

@@squibble111 I’ll sure watch it, thanks man!

[@Juanchoperez05]

@@squibble111hey, just here to thank you for uploading the world, I was very interested to learn how you managed to do the lectern thingy, very creative. Love your work!

[@jameshy69]

music from slime rancher

[@macmcleod1188]

Very nice! People *still* learn something new in minecraft every day.

[@Meatmallet]

This is pretty cool. Using a similar concept, I made an animated hologram with beacons and colored glass. There is a video on my channel.

[@Glaeos]

Nice, love the slime rancher bg music

[@user-vp6gp1sn7d]

wow genius

[@nmasrer22]

That’s awesome! I’d like to see more demonstrations of the number changing from the front

[@thepootato]

Thats a really cool idea

[@yuuudakishibe9579]

The logic part makes this process even harder

[@Bigbuckgaming]

Fan freaking tastic video my dude. Keep it up

[@coneguy_the_goober]

the way you did the lectern selection is amazing XD

[@nacimbz2749]

Bro... ur an artist

[@rubecube5218]

LCD stands for liquid crystal display, so you dont need to say display again. just 7 segment LCD

[@mycroft3322]

Hey there’s slime rancher music in the background!

[@joshuathomas6904]

This is amazing 🤩

[@braden_tmoore]

this is really cool

[@jesther2575]

Man discovered polarization in mc wtf

[@jacobtinkle9686]

Amazing!

[@jacobfausnight1180]

This, but with concrete powder instead of walls

[@Shrek5when]

Nice

[@FireBlockerPro]

Wow

[@TheFurryBus]

In Minecraft I made a display that involves redstone lights

[@GeneralAeon]

Never seen lectern work like that wow

[@Mr.Bedrocker]

Now make a clock with these
And sync it up with the in-game time

[@shadydaemon4178]

This is good.

[@LisqrTheFox]

That's cool!

[@SuperLlama88888]

Cool!!!

[@YounesLayachi]

VA (Vertical Alignment) display ?

[@BasicallyFrost]

That's amazing

[@HelPfeffer]

This is cool

[@The-Maxter]

I like this

[@vibaj16]

At first I thought it was beacons due to the vertical lines

[@BananaShenanigans]

Your big brain

[@user-il2gl6se3o]

…and why not use redstone lamps? Much easier than the wall shenanigans no?

[@squibble111]

because its different and different is cool

[@martinmeshoyrer868]

make a crt monitor next

[@lakshaymd]

Genius!

[@cube1720]

It time to make it smaller

[@vanilla_MC]

so cool!

[@upside_you_mop]

Oh didnt know how they worked, very cool

[@eeeeee4074]

very cool but my dirt house is pretty cool too

[@vibaj16]

might it be easier using trapdoors? Just have to find a solid light source (which emits light whether powered or not)...

[@FoxSlyme]

But how do you do this on a large scale?

[@ilexisthemadcat]

the viewing angle tho 💀 very nice concept tho

[@squibble111]

hey look if real life screens were 2 meters thick i think theyd only work head on too

[@nosidenoside2458]

Neat

[@ottoes8098]

Could you use opening and closing trapdoors to do this?

[@FoxSlyme]

How do you open and close them on a large scale?

[@aaronjoseph9588]

What shader you use?

[@squibble111]

complimentary reimagined

[@N3pTUn3142]

Hmm, an LCD clock using walls? That possible?

[@squibble111]

Clock?, maybe. Ill have to look into that, but possible i could make it woek

[@DemonSeedXP]

Possible yes! I did it already. Practical, No. unfortunately the restricted viewing angle means only one or two digits at most can be seen at once before the viewing angle is exceeded and the backlights become blocked. @@squibble111

[@Skaffa]

like your voice

[@EXCUX]

what is a real life?

[@adorablehoe]

This is so hecking cool! My fix of geekiness has been fulfilled hehe
