Minecraft Flying Machine Basics #1: Engines & Extensions
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- i'm starting a new series about the basics of flying machines in minecraft (commonly referred to as "slimestone" by the tech community), and how to use them in practical scenarios. for the first episode i'm sticking to the basics (pun intended), by going over basic engines, basic return stations, and basic extensions. next video i will go over how versatile these extensions and engines are by showing how many different variants there are, since i only went over a few designs in this video.
update: thanks for all the kind comments, they keep me motivated to make more videos!

I just started a redstone channel and I’m so glad I found this series, I’ve always just looked at massive flying machines full of strange instant extension mechanics and just decided it was too complicated to try and understand. Now I can look at them and really get a feel for what each part is doing
Yoo its malorem
It was so helpful that you explained what happens tick by tick. I haven't seen other tutorials cover that.
thanks for letting me know. i ultimately included it because while it's not required knowledge to be good at slimestone, i felt that it would be good to include because it provides a basis for understanding WHY something works, which makes the entire concept seem less like magic.
every 2gt/3gt you mean
Its very cool that you made a explaination video about flying machines. This could help a lot of people to get started with slimestone.
I'm pretty decent at all things "minecraft"... but flying machines have always been the bane of my existence. I just never really understood how to make them "fancy" unless I'm following a tutorial (yes I can do the simple engine/line type, but as soon as extensions are involved I'm lost).. And I love ilmango, been watching him for years.. however Your video has really helped click a few things into place for me, so I can't wait to jump into creative and give some ideas a try! Thanks mah'dude! - thumb'd & sub'd
Checking in again because, like I said, prior to this video I was pretty decent at most minecraft things, and I loved redstone, but never "got" flying machines without tutorials... Now I'm building my own contraptions, extensions and multipurpose tools, thanks to this video! Noice job mah'dude!
How
Came to your channel after Doc's shoutout in his latest episode. I love how much you explain the concepts. And coincidentally how much your video style reminds me of early Redstone tutorials/showcases by etho and doc. Love your stuff, keep posting your passion!
Thanks for the technical explanation behind quasi-powering and showing the difference between observer and red stone blocks. I have a shattered collection of knowledge mostly from outdated versions so this was super helpful
Woah, 2 explanations in a single video, quasi connectivity and flying machines :o
I have been looking for something like this for soooo long! You are a lifesaver.
Will TNT dupers work at 3.3 blocks per second? e.g. for a quicker world eater/tunnel bore?
I was hoping to see extensions added to flying machines just like that just mentioned - tnt dupers, so we can stick such modules together to build our own world eaters/tunnel bores sized to our personal needs.
yeah just make sure the extensions are compatible with 6gt
Thanks! It's really hard to find good explanations.
this is super helpful thanks
Do any of these extensions work in two directions? I’m trying to make something that can push and extension and pull an extension using a return station.
holy shit i actually didnt fully understand quasi power (i think you write it like that) so now i get it thanks.
Awesome content. I love how you explain it tick by tick. Just subbed.
This was super helpful! Ty
thank you
Awesome video

What mods do you use
I like the UwU observers
is there a way to make the instant extentions go in 2 directions?
yes, it is possible to make them both horizontally and vertically. they can even be moved in a third direction if you make a moving sequence for it. fun fact, i am actually using a two way instant extension that goes up and down for a quarry i am making, and i am able to push it forward every slice.
@@voiding_ Ah nice! I made one horizontally, by exactly copying the one you got in this video, but it desintegrated when i tried to move it forward and backward, do you happen to know why this is?
@@thijsrikkerink6333 i forget exactly why, but it probably has something to do with update order
why do people call it slimestone
nvm i realised the second i left the comment, redstone, slime block
I have a problem, every time I try to build extensions, they just don't work, either they only work in one direction even though they should work in two or they simply don't work at all and screw up the entire flying machine.
how? are you playing on a paper/spigot server? that usually explains why flying machines break on certain servers
@@voiding_ no I am on a vanilla single player world. The extensions will sometimes not stay attached to their pistons or the pistons won’t move until the engine has already moved a couple blocks completely ruining the machine.
@@dracorim6370 with the little information you've given me, i can't really help you, because i don't know what you're doing wrong. if you're using an engine that's too fast, that might be the problem. if you're doing what i'm doing in the video making sure to stay under the push limit then it should work
How do you get the old Flint & Steel behavior?
Carpet addons, oldflintandsteelbehaviour.
For anybody else.
What mods are you using?
iris (sodium w/shaders), lithium, starlight, tweakeroo, minihud, itemscroller, litematica, worldedit, inventoryprofilesnext, and pistorder are a few that i can name off the top of my head
@@voiding_ thanks
how do you add tnt to it
You can add an extension to push or pull a TNT duper to a flying machine
why does this guys sound like Paul from Petscop?
I am just wondering, is there a list to the client mods you are using somewhere, they seem pretty handy
main ones i use in this video are worldedit, pistorder, tweakeroo, and minihud, and the rest i have are carpet mod, carpet extra, carpet addons, aleph carpet, litematica, sodium, lithium, phosphor, command macros, inventory profiles, slight gui modifications, appleskin, antighost, beenfo, bounding box outline reloaded, dark loading screen, dynamic fps, easier crafting, giselbaers durability viewer, item scroller, mod menu, multiconnect, ok zoomer, reauth, smooth boot, smooth scrolling everywhere, tellme, and voxelmap.
i might start including this list in the descriptions of my videos so people can find it easier.
@@voiding_ Dat is a long list, but thanks for letting me know they seem really useful.
Did u take helium my guy?
intresting !
I only subbed because I want block by block tutorial on quarry, but this is good video!
Could you make a video on flying machines without observers because I play older Versions of minecraft and I would love to see a whole Video on that. I know you showed some flying machines but that wasn`t to much...
Thanks if you do that.
i apologize for the late reply, i'm not skilled enough to do old slimestone. it requires the activation of certain parts of my brain that i have not accessed yet, but maybe some day i will ascend to this level of grand knowledge
@@voiding_ Lol.
Didn´t expect you to reply…
Well then I´ll have to see if I can build it on my own. Maybe a good point to start would be to try building the flying Machine from the minecraft story mode, if that help´s.
@@cygnos6201 i do know how to do some basic extensions using only redstone blocks, slime, and pistons/sticky pistons, but it's not really enough to make a full video out of. you could try looking at some older flying machines and see what they look like
@@cygnos6201 I think Cubehamster has a series on Pre observer flying machines
