If YOU had to make a set of NetherMinecraft dice... what IRL material would you use?
These dice look great! Basalt, obsidian or ash could look cool for nether dice.
@@turdnugget6925 Oh I like Ash for dice!
Quartz, Brick, and dried mushroom Sulfur(in place of blaze powder) Salt(ghast tears) and gold flake
OH and maybe ground Bloodstone as bloodstone was the original name of Neitherack when the Neither was being developed
I'd use a hint of charcoal bits, maybe some rust dust, some red chalk, and a touch of wood dust
I feel like forge scale flakes could look realy good as netherite
A full set of lapis dice inked gold would be real nice
NOW you're speaking my language :D
I was thinking the same thing.
Funny you say that ;)
Yes! the lapis was by far my favourite. So saturated and shiny!
No-Silver!
I TRIED to find a human bone for making bone meal, but I guess SCIENCE needs those more than me. Man, selfish of SCIENCE as a whole :p
There are places like curio shops where you can buy human teeth, but they are pretty rare. It is difficult to buy human body parts in general because of the legality(/ethicality) of buying humans/human parts. Some things are quite restricted, at least in the US. I thought your use of a cow bone in a steak was genius (other than it being difficult to break lol), but you could also buy/find things like animal jawbones or bird skulls if you had to.
*Flashbacks to the human blood dice 😂
@@angriestjoker Blood for the blood dice!
You need a hand?
*Laughs manically
Shoulda just gave up a finger. Ya know, for Dice-Science.
I would absolutely pay for a set of those cuttlefish ink dice! It looks like ash dispersed in the air of a raided village
That resin + gold inking/neon purple ink would look rad!
@@Rybonator oooooh, a purple for a corrupted/warlock look? I can dig that!
I wonder if the ink doesn't age, it seems like it's suspended
if I had a ton of money I would pay a lot for the lapis dice tbh, they're so beautiful but prolly out of my budget lmao bc it'd be a crime to pay the usual amount I pay on dice for those
Flock the top of that dice box immediately!!!
When I was in elementary school, we used to literally have a little economy for trading stuff using "soft sand" which was sifted sand from the sandbox to be, well, softer. The more soft the more expensive! So I can tell you if you ever want to get separate your dirt into INSANELY fine grains, the method is this:
Get your sand/dirt ready a mildly windy day (or with a fan on low). Get a bucket and tip it on its side downwind from the wind/fan. Slowly drizzle the dirt from your hands or another bucket a few inches away from the tipped over bucket. The wind will blow the finest grains of sand/dirt into the sideways bucket, much finer than you get in a sieve. Then again, all we had was dorky plastic toy sieves so maybe adult seives work well enough lol.
It takes forever but as a weird child I loved doing it and having a bucket with a layer of super soft sand to play with (or trade for a dirt clod to throw at my sister.)
That's an awesome tip! I'd love to get some SUPER fine sand like that :) I might have to give that a shot!
Dude, I used to do the same thing as a kid. We had a strainer with big holes to get all the sticks and acorns out and then went from there. Everyone was obsessed with soft sand
Bruh I just grinded the ground and hoped for the best
I can't lie the dirt block D6 made me quite happy and it looked really good, I also liked the lapis one quite a bit and the bone meal one
Thanks Joshua :) I was super happy with how good the d6 turned out haha
I think it would interesting to see this done again or something simililar but add your dye in to alcohol first and see if you could make your own alcohol inks to tint your resin.
I've been planning to do a DIY Alcohol ink for a while now, might be a good idea :)
I was thinking the same, the alcohol could be better to extract the colours and mix into the resin without the clumpness of the powders
@@Rybonator You absolutely need to get ahold of the darkest black pigment and create some dice out of it! i think its like black 3.0? idk if it comes in a non acrylic paint variant. it would look amazing for them to just be a void with numbers on them and possibly gold flakes for something to break it up? id like to see a mixture and just a jet black one.
Huge thank you to ReinkDesigns for always helping me on my projects when I am stuck, and including me on such an awesome video idea! You rock my guy :)
The bone one looks very... _bone like_ to me, I can't explain it! It's SO COOL. I'd love some sort of lich or necromancer dice using bonemeal
Glad you like it Ethala :D
Fun fact: Dice typically used to be made of bone
well it looks like gelatine
Love these! And would also be interested in a creepy black/purple/red Nether set. Upvote for more pigment experiments!
Hmm, how can I get a GHOST'S tears into some dice IRL ;D
@@Rybonator You could always hunt online for someone selling supposed ghost ectoplasm? XD Oh! or bits of something like pearls
@@Rybonator cry into the resin, sure it won't affect the colour but the concept is pretty metal
Rybonator: "And now my room smells like a fish market filled with death."
Me: "... So like a fish market?"
Yo, this dice turned out great. I love the textures. The beet red reminds me of the blood dice you made and might be a safer way to achieve that look.
Thanks Keoki :) It looks way better than my old blood ones with a similar style :)
You could probably use alcohol to extract an actual dye from the beet and sunflower.
You can find cactus at many grocery stores. Peeling and drying just the skin might give you the green dye.
The sunflower dye kind of looks like sawdust.
Actually, come to think of it, that could be really interesting...
That's essentially making plywood if you combine sawdust and resin :)
Reminds me of Peter Brown's Dye Trying series.
I love seeing you experiment with new resin additives.
Peter Brown just recently sent me some supplies. Collab inc :)
@@Rybonator Wooo!
Bell's on for you both!
this video gives me intense "binging with babish" vibes and i absolutely love it - would be super stoked to see more applications of making dice out of unconventional ingredients!
That cuddlefish ink is so troublesome, I recently tried to make mixed-drinks using it to get a pitch-black aethetic. It does NOT like to be cold in any fashion, just a goopy mess. I had to heat it up to prevent the goop action, which stank.
Yeah I don't eat fish, and the smell is BLEGH. So when I opened that up... I was not happy haha
Yay another dice video. I love how creative your dyes were. You could use kelp or seaweed to make green and it would be true to game as well. Doing some Metroid themed dice would be really fun to see. Great color schemes and if you could get a d20 to look like a Metroid it would be so cool.
Reink is doing 6 entirely different colors than I am :) Check his out as well!
Oh man, Metroid... I feel like it's illegal to make a d6 (cube) when Samus turns into a ball :D
Also thanks Colton!
This was quite a lot more interesting than I would have gave it credit for, the pigment could be more of an experiment for a later time, but it was certainly fun to watch.
I'm still waiting for the egg carving mask dice BTW
Lol you might be waiting for a while, but I do love the idea
@@Rybonator I can wait, I know it'll be worth it
I love these!
A set of Stardew Valley dice would be really neat. You could do one to represent each tool upgrade level, and maybe the remainder can signify fishing/mining/farming or something. :)
It'd be cool to see dice based off Magic: the Gathering! You could do white, blue, black, red, green, gold, and silver for the different colors of the cards.
Yes!!!
A whole set of the lapis or beet dice would be so cool. This was a great experiment.
Ugh. I've been watching your videos for about a year now, and these might be some of the neatest looking dice I've seen. I absolutely love these, especially the lapis and sunflower ones!
That makes me super happy Daydream! I'm glad you like them :)
Love the energy you put in your videos. It makes me happy to see your videos
Aww thanks Lindsey :) I'm glad you like them! That means a lot
Me and the missus love the videos. She's a big ol' dice goblin now!
That's awesome Stephen! Tell her I said Hi! :D
@@Rybonator thanks! Hi back ^~^
This was such a fun video I loved seeing all the different elements and it’s always cool seeing you use new materials. I really like the beet pigment. The little particles remind me of blood clots and I bet it would look great mixed with a silver or grey resin for a paladin or barbarian set.
Oh yeah, some silver would be an awesome pally set you're right :)
Man, this is AWESOME.
For the neather dices I can only think of Gold, Quartz, Basalt and Obsidian, since that's what you need it to enter this realm. I don't know how you would make dice out of 3/4 of this materials or incorporate them in it, but it is just so amazing to think about maybe having pieces of quartz and obsidian in resin. Again, so cool, dude. This is amazing.
"now my room smells like a fish market filled with death"
best line lmao
i also liked the beets by dre
I love the gemstone dice, and I would love to see more gemstone styled dice.
Having a RUBY dust dice would be amazing :)
@@Rybonator or it would be awesome if was your birth stone that was used.
You've combined my two current hyperfixations, minecraft and dice. Wonderfuly done! I would not complain at a mini series based on video game materials/principles!!
Loved the beetroot red dice!
Whenever we celebrate Easter at my grandma's we usually use old school/natural methods to dye the eggs, so this video gave me some nostalgia :)
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Rybonator: pronounces the t in pestle
I am BLOWN AWAY. I could not stop smiling while watching this, and actually clapped at the dice reveal! These are SO COOL and they look soooo good!!! My favorites are the lapis, grass/dirt, and sunflower. The grass dirt box looks so good, I can't believe it!
Love the Minecraft dice! :3 The little dirt block D6 is so cute next to the dice box, and the grey inking reminds me of the little bits of gray in the dirt blocks texture. Also a fish market full of death sounds like a good place in a spooky Halloween town, or a town full of friendly undead.
A perfect dnd campaign in the making :) I thought about making the logo blue for a diamond under the dirt :)
@@Rybonator That would be really cool! :D Maybe a future dice idea could be doing like minecraft ore blocks or the blocks that are completely made of Diamond, lapis, gold, iron, etc. :)
This is a very interesting idea I would have never of thought of this and keep up the great work
For the nether I would use literal rust, ground down to a powder, and inked gold! For the End, I could see something very sand-like with purple ink
Oh man, rust powder would look really cool! :D
@@Rybonator I think it looks really similar to the texture of netherack
I'm here for the ASMR rolls at the end
One day I'll make a full Dice Making ASMR video
I think dice based off the different slimes from Slime Rancher would look really cool! The colors themselves, of course, but I don't know if even doing a slime sort of texture within or slime look would be possible too.
Oh, having maybe a soft gooey set of dice for that would be great :)
These dice are really neat, my favorite is the cuttlefish one honestly. The clumps give it bits of shadow on the inside that are really cool!
Now I want to create a vampire to use those beet dice and a fallen paladin to that cuttlefish ink dice. Those would fit perfectly to each other
Combining them would make for an awesome DARK KNIGHT build :D
This really proves that you can basically use whatever you want in your resin as long as you're studious with the rest of the process (including trying to evenly distribute more coarse and heavy materials if you care to fairly use them). Really neat! Maybe the cactus one is yellow and not green, but eh, I blame it on the blanched powder - still looks hella cool.
lapis works so well because for a long time it was literally the only source of blue dye. Blue was an expensive color for that reason (since in Europe at the time, there was no large source of lapis lazuli) that only the upper class could afford to wear. So its one of the few dyes here that was actually used as a dye
Such an awesome set of dice!
Thanks Jarod :) I appreciate that!
The warped forest in the nether is my favorite biome. Dice based on that would be awesome! Maybe something glow in the dark since it's sort of a bioluminescent mushroom forest vibe.
A few things I would try for the Nether Set: Obsidian, Volcanic rock, Basalt, and quartz.
The colours are amazing!!!! And I actually really like the cool effect each one gives!
Would hecking love to see a video on making your own dye because in my opinion these were all a success!!!!
I think quartz would be the most “nether” thing you could use. As for how well it would work I can’t say
For the nether, I would crush up obsidian and brimstone to make the pigments. Then, I would swirl them together in the molds with some silver mica powder to make some parts of it pop, and then ink the numbers as crimson red
Love them all! Just yesterday I was trying with household stuff and charcoal is just * chef kiss * (maybe for the Nether Bastion?)
Oh, Reink did Charcoal and it looks great! I need to give it a shot :)
@@Rybonator Just don't forget to use protection while milling it! For what I know, charcoal dust might be toxic
Wow, what an awesome and creative idea! I was so curious how they would look in the end and man, i was NOT disappointed! They are so cool and it is crazy to see how well the dyes worked *o*!
This was awesome! I love seeing your videos of making dice sets for your friends' D&D characters, maybe you could do your sets of your favorite casts of characters in games or TV shows (eg Avengers, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy etc)
Love your videos, Rybo, keep rocking :) (and rybowife too!)
Oh I like the idea of doing a set for a fictional character :) Thanks Jay! YOU keep rocking :)
@@Rybonator glad to give you more ideas :) sometimes you're so creative in ways I never expect. Thanks for being a big inspiration and positive force in the dice and ttrpg community :)
I love it!
For nether dice hmmm. That’s hard
Quartz powder maybe?
I love how these turned out! The beets color was almost on its way to a lake pigment! Lake pigments deal with like...chemical reactions and its a process but they're very rewarding in my opinion! They get really fine and might blend into the resin better? I've never tried any of mine in resin before! I love the grainy look in these though, they fit the minecraft texture!
I kinda like how the dyes textured the dice, it doesn't look as clean as it would if it was just solid colors, but it makes them look allot more interesting
As a resident rock eater, it’s a crime you haven’t made more of those powdered gem dice
Nic job. They all look good. That blue is the best.
Thanks Karl! I really like that one too :)
OwO I remember suggesting to do something similar like this with ground or powdered gemstones, so this is really rad to see. The sunflower one kind of looks like citrine, which is also awesome.
The Lapis turned out awesome! So the powdered stone one is a great idea :)
@@Rybonator I'm surprised that it turned out so well since I thought about it having a weight issue like you mentioned.
Right now I wouldn’t suggest making another lapis set. Most of the lapis lazuli on the market right now is mined inhumanely by taliban run mines and right now it’s very difficult to verify where it all actually comes from even if the store says it’s ethically sourced. While it’s a cool idea and a nice colour, right now it’s not a great idea
Thanks for the info Rose, I had no idea. No more Lapis from me for now!
Imagine the flex of walking into a game where you have dice made of literal gem stones and bones
I love the idea and it worked out pretty well! I'm surprised at how well the lapis suspended, they definitely ground that really finely. I think you could use any of these additives again because you have so much of them, it would be interesting to see what other inspiration you get.
There's a few games with dice in them, both visibly and invisibly.
Hand of Fate 2 has visible dice you could recreate and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic has dice rolling all the time in the background in a tiny menu it's easy to forget about because it also shows you all the dialogue. And KOTOR might be a good choice because the remake is coming out, and SEO helps the channel grow. Maybe one of them could be a starfield, and the Sith soldiers wear a chrome armor. HK47 is a deep crimson, a wookiee joins your party so maybe flocked die? Lots to choose from. Also each planet is heavily themed (literally there is a puzzle where you identify each of 6 planets surfaces: desert, water, arboreal, etc). Maybe a two part series if the first one is as popular as I hope.
Very cool dice man, very cool.
Thanks Dice Bean, thanks :)
Obsidian it's what you use to make the portal to the Nether and purple for the numbers.🥰🥰🥰 And Obsidian is volcanic glass thus easy to break and grind into a fine powder. I think it would be gorgeous.
Love these haha, you should uh give them to me, I PROMISE not to eat them.
That feels like an empty promise :p
for a set of nether dice, you could use gold flake, obsidian powder, red lava rock powder, a brown sand/dust/pigment, maybe a really fine iron oxide if it doesnt sink, bonemeal, and a soul fire esque blue pigment.
These actually worked so well, very surprised. I actually love the textured look, they look so magical!
Now I want to see a full set of dirt/grass dice.
Love them ~ I think the sunflower and grass block ones are my favorite !
This is my video of yours ive ever seen, this was so cool! The d12 is my favorite, its so good!
Idk what you're talking about I LOVE that sunflower one, it looks golden and floral and beautiful. Either way awesome video!! Love that Minecraft nostalgia combined with my current favorite hobby: D&D
Perfect combo of hobbies haha :) My bet is a lot of people who play both end up being DMs, since they like to build things :)
@@Rybonator I've already started GMing for another TTRPG so that seems accurate :p
I love the choice for gray for the inking! It really does make it feel Minecraft
For the cactus one, you can get a really good green out of cactus, but either the desiccation process destroyed that, or they didn't use enough of the skin when making the powder you used. I have a liqueur from Bonaire made from cactus called Cadushy and it is very green. If you've ever seen the Star Trek TNG episode with Scotty, and Data gives him that bottle of alcohol he describes as "it's... it's... it's green", yeah it's exactly that shade of green
Nether dice? Well you'd have to track down some red and teal mushrooms to make dye for the Nylium dice. Ground basalt for the delta, quartz for the waste and gold for the bastion. The real problem is the fortress because it doesn't really have anything replicable in real life unless you find a dark red brick and grind it into a powder. Then, idk, yellow UV powder to make glowstone?
If I were to make a nether Dice set, I would have:
- gold flake suspended in a clear red (for gold nuggets)
- Another bone dice (maybe mix with charcoal for that wither skeleton look?)
- You would probably be obligated to try some obsidian/volcanic glass
- you could try for a nether brick by grinding up some actual brick?
- if you mix that dirt method with some sand, you could get pretty close to a soul sand look
- maybe some red/yellow stained glass to create a lava look?
- i don't know what you could try for an Ender Pearl, do green/blue pearls exist? else set a black pearl in the center of a clear teal?
The lapis one is sooo pretty! The texture makes it look like sparkles to me lol.
Great video man. Now I’m going to go play some minecraft.
i have no words for how well the grass block turned out.
As a random note, a possible reason you may have had issue with the Mortar and Pestle is because they were porcelain and thus were smooth on the interior so there was no friction to help hold the material in place while grinding. I'd recommend trying to find a Granite one since it's a little rougher on the inside. (You can find them fairly cheap on amazon)
These dice look amazing and I really enjoyed them. Although I feel you missed an opportunity to make the box a chest or shulker. Could have been really funny
I kinda like the cool look the cuttlefish ink gives suspended in the resin. It’s a neat effect.
These all look just incredible Rybo, amazing work, holy cow! I love the lapis dice, I wonder if you could make some gemstone dice in the same way using stone pigments like this. It'd also be neat to have a set of "netherite" dice, or for that matter wood, stone, iron, diamond, and netherite dice. Crazy crazy crazy.
Lesse...making a nether set... Some things I'd likely look into trying something would like:
Obsidian for the portal
Pearls for ghast tears
Basalt/Ash for the basalt deltas, blackstone, and withers
Beefsteak mushroom for nether warts. Could also potentially serve as a good base for a netherrack die if you were to stick some ramen or mushroom shreds into it
Bones are heavily present in the nether, and nether quartz does look like bone before being turned into a block, so could do another bone die for that set
Refined quartz could be made with actual quartz or marble
A much darker thing of dirt/topsoil could be used for soul sand
The real problems come from other defining characteristics of the nether...
Because the closest thing to glowstone would be either phosphorus, which will likely be really hard to get pure...and sulfur; which might not end so well...and even if it does, it will definitely end up stinking up the workplace...
And the other defining key characteristic of the nether is...fire....just literal fire and lava...so...what could possibly be used to represent that...?
Idea: Coin Vault Dice
Concept: Dice containing mini gold coins that spill around a void in their center
Execution:
1) Find a silicone ice tray that can make cubes of ice just slightly smaller than your dice molds.
2) Paint the sides of the ice mold with UV resin and cure it on all but the top face making UV resin boxes.
3) Cure a top face for each of the molds.
4) Pour mini coins into the UV resin boxes.
5) Paint the top edges of the UV resin boxes with UV resin.
6) Attach and cure the tops of the UV resin boxes to seal in the coins.
7) Cast sealed UV resin boxes in dice.
8) PROFIT.
Beautiful!! I've missed you Rybonator.
Miss you more friend :)
a full set of that sunflower with a nice green inking would look amazing
the bonemeal die looks like natural quartz crystal, which i think is pretty awesome :O that lapis die is stunning too!
These are amazing! Seeing you make themed dice always makes my day
I'm with you on the bone meal bro. I honestly didn't know it was a real thing until a few years ago.
It smells really reeeally bad. But darn it if it isn't cool!
You might try combining your dye powders with very small amounts of resin first, stir until smooth, then add the rest of the resin. That tends to work in cooking, when you're making something with a thickener like flour in gravy.
Sadly i suspect the beet powder will go brown over the course of time.
You could try getting green chlorella powder, or try refining chlorophyll from plants (you can find information about using a centrifuge to extract reasonably pure chlorophyll from spinach). I actually kinda like the sunflower die, but yeah it could be better if you found a way to grind it smaller. Maybe get it damp and grind it into a paste, then let it dry? Probably just air dry; it would likely turn brown if heated.
That lapis lazuli dye is gorgeous 💙✨
I’m really proud of you for trying a non-gold ink, these turned out great!!!
Mushrooms or bones would certainly be nether pigment sources, or perhaps ground-up flint or obsidian would be worth investigating. Maybe even try to get some basalt powders as well. You could possibly also get coal or charcoal dust (carbon black? idk, maybe a bit of a stretch there), but I'm not sure how that ties into the nether. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else you could use. That's just my ideas on what you could use for "nether-based" pigments. Even though the carbon black might not be a nether pigment, I'd still like to think it'd look pretty badass.
If I were to make a Nether Minecraft dice set, I would use dirt from Holland!
These are amazing! I love all of them, they have such unique visual textures 😍 but imagine the sunflower one with a few petals inside, that that would make it look even prettier 💕
I love that grainy look these have, big fan of these!
I've never played Minecraft so I'm not biased towards liking them, but these are some of the prettiest dice I've seen on your channel... More dirt, veggie and stone dice, please!
I loved all of them, my favs are lapis and bone meal, but the red and Black ones are pretty rad.
So you started a project by dropping some fat beats, I'm proud of you Rybo.
You got DIRTy with that Pun ;D
Realizing I misspelled SKETCH at the end of the video... I am a dumb.
I really love the beetroot dice. I imagine that mixing the beetroot and cuttlefish ink could look sick. Perhaps for a set of evil dice!
I do agree, the Beet and Lapis came out the absolute best.
That lapis one! Love it 😍
It's such a pretty shade of blue!
