8:06 Real talk though, imagine you open a piston door and the whole mechanism just leaves, only for a bridge across the gap to pop up
That would be pretty dope
Cool scene.
Imagine an entire Howls Moving Castle esque base made with these things with functioning piston doors, since it can move redstone and pistons.
maybe a flying machine bridge that comes up from the pit
coo
April fools snapshots tend to add things mojang has been testing, so I think in the future we might get some thing similar to the flotator block in a future update
Definitly shouldn't be as strong.Add this thing and the entire flying machine community(using slime and honey) dies
@@juliocesarfernandesrodrigu8110 yeah obviously it wouldnt be that op
Idk man it feels way past op no matter how rare the item that makes this block is it will still be considered way past op
@@juliocesarfernandesrodrigu8110 it would be cool to even just add it as a creative-only-item. People who want to create smooth contraptions can do it if they want. And, until the dev team figures out a way to add it to survival, it is available for use.
Unfortunately not, if this was an item they were testing before the logic would have been way better. Seems like it was just rushed in a few hours for the update.
I'm pretty sure at 2:33 it stole the obsidian because, it stopped for a moment, becoming blocks, but then the Redstone wire was still active causing it to activate again. Flotater turns all the blocks into the state they were the moment it started flying so buttons stay down and redstone wire stays on.
yep exactly what I wanted to comment! good catch
oh geez thst means it's near unstoppable
In case you’re curious, the floatater’s push limit is based off of radius instead of number of blocks. I think it can push all connected blocks within 30 blocks of the floatater.
Edit: it is actually a size (as in volume) limit of 32x32x32. Thanks for correcting me
Acrually, it is not a radius at all it's a size limit, the floatater structure (pushed blocks + floatater itself) can be up to 32x32x32 in size, any block larger than that and it doenst work
@@guilhermerafaelzimermann419632x32x32 is a radius…
It's also changeable with a gamerule!

This block looks like something that would be perfect for an "End Update". The ships of the end are a transport that will probably work.
I think you just called it a couple years in advance. That’s gotta be it.
Fuck that would be so cool!
That would be awesome!
that would be sick
@@recursiveslacker7730 I dont think a couple of years. I honestly feel like Mojang has been working on an end update since Caves and Cliffs was released, and has been conceptually been working on it since the nether update.
With a bit of luck, 2025 will have an end update. Like, caves and cliffs had some minor tweaks it needed, and I am 99% certain they did the end first for 3 dimensional biomes, so they could change the overworld next with those 3d biomes while playing around with blocks below 0.
If the End isnt going to have caves, and not really going to have ores. It can have 3d biomes, increased building limits, more structures, and since the End also basically is the inventory dimension (ender chests and shulkerboxes both come from the end), it might also be an inventory update. Basically you having a standard inventory, because thats all you need to defeat the dragon, and once you kill the dragon, you can reach ways of expanding your inventory.
Here are a couple of things you should know about the floatater:
using multiple in the same direction will increase it's speed
it only sticks to things it's making direct adjacent contact with, so a top slab will not stick to the side of a bottom slab.
Flotatoes can be placed in the air and are very useful for stopping a floatater.
No not really
You can use, command /tick freeze and / tick unfreeze
It's really funny I made a twin tower flying 😂😂
@@A_chill_rock Twin towers be like: Fuck it, we fly into the plane first
@@A_chill_rockBREAKING NEWS: The WTC has taken flight to avoid a 707 from hitting it, but the 707 avoided the WTC and the Twin Towers will not come back down
Now you can officially make a flying 3x3 piston door!
And without flying machines too!
Although, I just realized that MythicalPingu already made a moving 3x3 door without floataters
8:06
3x3 door nah don't you mean a 32x32 door - floatators max push limit is 32x32x32 by radius and not in a line like a piston
Bro you just made a headless piston
I have learned that using pottery can effectively stop the flotator and prevent it from sticking, and I'm pretty sure it also works with non-full blocks (such as soul sand) as well.
Yeah, I just realized that fences, slabs, stairs, etc. will prevent floataters from working
I don't think it's as glitchy as you're thinking. you're thinking of it as a piston when you should be thinking of it as a thruster and you're forgetting that it's from an april fools update, thus making it immune to any molding within minecraft's standards for things like this.
1. it can move things pistons can't because it isn't a piston and it isn't seriously intended to account for normal minecraft's insurance rules
2. I have to assume it can't move tile entities because that is just something mojang can't figure out how to do with whatever they code in or something, so it logically breaks them so they can't impede the rest of the structure that it is moving
3. I'm not certain but I think its limit is dependent on distance rather than block count, so it couldn't push that long line because some part of it was basically a wall
4. I'm pretty sure with the elevator, it just yoinked the obsidian because the redstone line was still powered so when it came to a stop, the floatater was repowered and the redstone was able to turn off in that same instant, which allowed the machine to stop once it hit the block limit ( no clue why some of it got atomized and others got saved)
5. Before assuming the tnt looked glitchy, I would recommend what it looks like pushing other entities to see if it looks similar (I feel like I should make sure that this isn't interpreted as me sounding upset or anything, it's just an observation I made and thought I would mention, but I'm often bad with word choice so sorry if it sounds mean at all :) )
6. the final piston door was being moved because the pistons on the left were connected to the floatater's structure, thus connecting the entire door to the floatater
That's all the things I can remember right now. It's important to remember that not everything has to fit within the preexisting molds, especially when it isn't made for the base game. The copper bulb, for example, wasn't bugged or glitchy when it had a one tick delay, it was intentionally made that way (unfortunately they changed it to 2 ticks for reasons i'm unaware of). I find that it's best to assume everything is working as intended; that makes it easier to understand the rules of the individual feature and judge them accordingly instead of judging them based on what similar things we have already because that can lead to viewing the thing that makes the feature special and different enough to be its own feature. Ofc it definitely isn't perfect -- it decapitated a piston after all -- but it seemed like you were viewing its rules and features as bugs simply because they differ from the norm, not because they are necessarily game-breaking or literally broken.
TL;DR: the floatater isn't as broken as you think, most of the things I saw you point out as bugs seemed to be features to me, and some of the things that went wrong reinforce what I saw as features.
ok, but how was it moving air?
There is a bug that an activated button is permanently activated if it is moved after it has been pressed! As a result, the flying machine only came to a stop when the button was gone!
bro relax
@@HahnKreis it could still stop when it comes into contact with a wall thats outside its influence
tile entity ability to move is entirely dependent on 1 singular line of code that mojang can easily change and yet they don't
act : make a redstone contraption to create an elevator
consequence: the whole building flies up
the flying piston door looks like a flat futuristic space ship, I love it
I mean, we’ve gotten some April Fools features in the past. Namely, coal and lapis blocks, stained glass, custom dimensions, and size changing. There’s always a small chance that this will one day be either added officially, or possible in some other way
...lapis blocks are a joke?
@@loafiotemporary1757 No silly, I meant that they were originally, when they were in an AFD update. Then they got officially added.
@@FewVidsJustComments but havent lapis blocks been there since beta?
@@loafiotemporary1757 Nope, I think they were added in 1.6
fun fact: the floatater can push 32768 blocks (32 in each direction)
edit: i didnt check if it was a radius or total in each direction, oops
It's total, a 32x32x32 cube.
Idk if this a new command but there’s a command that lets you push up to 999,999,999 blocks. That’s a 1000x1000x1000 cube with one block broken
If you don’t want some blocks to move you can use pots. The floatato is unable to move pots.
Like this so Purplers sees this
Pots, chests, hoppers, and honey
@@arushamshafeeq9428 Chests broke for me. I think it breaks anything with an inventory? But trapdoors don't get moved.

They just plan in an accent that is beyond our understanding
@@xanderplayz3446 i don't know, but whoever's behind it must feel like a free man
OH NAH, POTATOS?!
Floatater will actually push a structure, which is 61x61x61, assuming that the device is right in the middle of it. You can also use chests as rails for the door to prevent the moving part of the door from sticking to rest of the mechanism.
Wrong, the floatater will push a structure that is 32x32x32 regardless where in the structure the floatater is.
The floatater is included in the size of the structure so keep that in mind when making your floatater ships
I believe there's actually a gamerule for the push limit of the floatater! Couldn't find anything online about it, but I remember going to the gamerules when making a new world in the update and seeing something about the floatater near the bottom of the list. Pretty sure the listed value was like 12x12x12 or something??? not too sure though
Time to move my desert wells then!!
Since April Fools generally add stuff Mojang is testing, it looks to me like the custom dimension means there's gonna be more support for those and fog = more support and well there's quite a few things which might be actually added in some way
from my limited understanding of the flotator, it doesnt have a block limit, but it has a radius limit, if the blocks exede that radius it will not push, that is how they made sure it wouldnt push the world to
wouldve been funny tho if you could basically move an entire chunk from world height to void and just watch that chunk slowly disappear
Actually the way that it works is that as long as all the connected blocks (floatater included) is no bigger than 32x32x32 it will move, the wiki incorrectly states that it is a 30 block radius, but i tested it out rigorously for myself, the position of the floatater does not affect the max size of the structure
By the way, decorated pots are the Terracota-counterpart to the Floatato block.
that thing, I tested, is able to push EVERYTHING in an area of 32x32x32 (beginning from layer 0 that has the floatater in it). Adding anymore blocks in any place blocks the floatater activation.
The blocks MUST be connected, and I think the floatater can be able to push two objects that are separated side-to-side 1 block apart if the initial pushed object has a slime block in "contact".
Don't know a lot about that last part, I didn't test much. I just observed a floatater pushing 2 objects with a slime block and was amazed but didn't go further.
Omg so this thing can push 32,000 blocks?
@@enn1924 32 768 to be exact but yes !
@@enn1924 32 768 to be precise but yes !
that's weird, I've sent twice a response but it never stays...
So yeah, I can confirm, it can push 32 000 blocks and some.
It just has to never get past those 32x32x32 boundaries. Like it cannot push 33 blocks in a line.
@@thauroji8501 there's a gamerule that allows you to increase the limit. Ibxtoycat and Pixelriffs drove the whole end island into the outer end islands. Obsidian pillars included.
The thing is people think mojang put more effort in april fools updates than real updates but in april fools updates almost NO testing goes into it and its unpolished. Thats why theres so many bugs in the snapshot. Also, look at the new snapshots, the new mace looks pretty good so far.
apparently u can under weird circumstances move the entire bedrock floor down

6:56 "ThE PisTonS DeD." 😢 that piston will always have a special place in my heart.
Purplers, here’s some info. Basically, the push limit is 32 block *in one direction.* You could do a 32x32x32 and it would work, as long as it doesn’t push more than 32 blocks in one direction.
I really hope this gets added to vanilla, Mojang added more blocks from april folls snapshot like to coal block.
8:07 I gonna put this into my CP as Live Wallpaper.. It's just perfect 😂
Also to mention more flotators running at a time makes it faster.
Yeah, I actually tried using just 4 floataters on a floating island and I wasn't able to catch up to my floatater island, lol
Purple you forgot that sometimes they tease future updates in April Fools snapshots like how they teased the copper grate and guess what were getting next update? A COPPER GRATE so maybe just maybe we could get one of these in vanilla and also maybe a grappling hook and I hope we do because that would be awesome!
Well, first things first, Mojang needs to revert the copper bulb changes ASAP, then they should add something similar to the floatater and grappling hook
I agree they changed the copper bulb for no reason when it was already perfect but I really hope we get a floater block and a grappling hook that would be so cool
potato, but it like, poison, and it flies for some reason
i know it's broken, but i kinda like the idea of being able to move bedrock but not break it.
idk what use it would have other than flexing, but it'd encourage players to build infrastructure to transport bedrock, and ways to move it into position to build with it, and i think that's fun

These April Fools snapshot require just a fraction of the testing need for the actual update. Notice that it is only in Java Edition. Not in Bedrock (Android, iOS, XBox, etc).

1:22, poor purplers, not knowing the chaos that’s about to ensue
Seems like a few of these things that were described as glitchy behaviour were just different or misunderstood mechanics. Like the radius of effect instead of a fixed number of blocks as that piston has, or the way different blocks are movable or 'sticky' with the different mechanic.
The coolest potential part of a block like this is, it seems like it can move actual working redstone circuitry. You could fly a section of a circuit into position to complete a redstone contraption. The possibilities for something like that are massive.
Something you can do to activate or automatically activate the floatater is switched on levers, it wont grab them and it work like a redstone block sending a redstone signal to anything right next to it.
Its QUASICONECTIVITY 3:09
"the popcorn block"
with this snapshot, you can theoretically build a bedrock upside down "T" in your friends base
I tried to make a block like this myself 2 months ago. It was really hard, and I was able only to make it work like piston. Push limit was 8. So, i think flotator was really hard to code, and Mojang spent like 3 weeks to make it work like this
I think the reason this is an april fools block and not in the real game despite being a really cool block is BECAUSE it would be a nightmare to debug without making it a very convoluted block to use. There are mods that add things exactly like this, but they are buggy and complex.
Also, since the floatater is incredibly OP, it would probably ruin the slimestone community

it moves everything that it touches before it starting moving, including immovable blocks. thats why the obsidian didnt move the first time.
The reason your first elevator was not stoped was because as it pulled up it pulled the powered readstone with it, so when it reached the obsidian it stoped but was powered by the readstone so it then restarted its movement with it
Its funny how every april fools update always has features people say should be in the main game. Someone should make a mod with all the april fools updates, it would be pretty cool
I mean, a bunch of the not-so-silly features have made it into the base game for past april fool's snapshots so who knows?! Happens basically every april fool's since 1.6
(horses, Redstone and coal blocks, stained glass, 3d biomes for the nether and caves etc etc)
imagine a world where mojang would simply:

would be more like:

You know you can just use pots since those dont attach, right?
Thanks for keeping up the content Its Nice when its late at night and sit back and watch your videos so thanks for that
Use the pots to stop the elavator from taking the blocks on the side it doesn’t stick to them
*8:06* The funniest part in this video has to be how it uses the song called ''Morning'' all the whilst the Minecraft sun is setting... On top of just how hilarious the horizontally sliding piston door is.
The gameplay features I want them to add to minecraft are those reminiscent of old school platformers, since minecraft lends itself well to the platforming playstyle in a 3D environment. Heck we already have spikes in the form of drip stone and timed platforms in the form of dripleaf. I think moving platforms is just the next logical step.
I played around with it, like a whole superflat dedicated to it and oh man I made doors, parkour coarses and fleet of ships, some like ultra fast (since activating more than one of these interconnected floataters at once increases speed)
I believe the floatator has a push limit of a 32x32x32 square, as long as all the block are within that area it can push them, the position of the floatator does not matter, it can be in the middle, or on the corner it will still push. Also it will push any blocks that are already attached to it, once a new block is added (by for example flying into it) it will stop and the more floatators you add the faster it goes, and it can go extremely fast, like really fast
The floatater flying lump can be up to 32x32x32
This size includes the actual floatater
It can't move tile entities or liquids, but everything else seems like fair game
It also can't move slabs, fences, etc.
you can use it to move tnt, just put a repeateronto the platform and activtate it along with the floatater. the redstone freezes while it's moving. when it stops moving, it unfreezes and the tnt ignites
legend say the piston door is still going
I love this video because it wants to work 50% of the time but after any adjustment it just takes the whole contraption.
They could make a skulk goop that you can add to blocks to make the blocks being pushed by it not interact with it. This would also help with a consistent stoping point.
I think this block is more for a mobile base than anything tho.
8:06 bro the door had left the chair 💀
I think what happened is that it moved the redstone with it, so when it stopped, the redstone activated it again
I don't know if it's because I play modded mc a lot, but the floater is very intuitive to me. It sticks a collection of blocks together, and that's it. Tile Entities like chests break immediately. The reason the floater kept stealing obsidian and the whole mechanism was because the mechanism was connected with non-air blocks. Glazed terracotta only works on slime and honey blocks, floaters can connect everything. As long as the redstone doesn't touch (even indirectly) any part of the mechanism other than the floater, it won't move.
It can push up to a 32x32x32 cube (it must be part of the cube as well.). You can also very easily make headless pistons with it to break bedrock. Plus you can dupe redstone, pistons, repeaters ect with it.
You can also push nether portals and the potato portals with it. End portals will break if you try to move them but you can move the frames.
I really hope floaters and grapling hooks are just prototypes and not jokes.
I honestly love the way it looks
Legends say, that piston door is flying till the end of time
3:55 bro summoned the whole phineas and ferb fandom with that one 💀
if you use pots on the floor and wall then it doesnt move it
also in world options there is a setting for how much it can push
i think u can get bedrock item with the potato rocket thing(since moving block blast res is set to 0) when its moving what if u spawn a tnt to destroy it and get the bedrock item?
Cant wait for hardcore youtuber to make a bedrock house without glitch
2:40 Mysticat uses pots so they don’t attaches
The problem i have with this block is that i like it but i think it almost completely gets rid of the use of slimeblock machines other than tnt duping but if you need to cross a gap just use this, so i think it shouldn't go very far.
Edit: for got to add or really hard to grt or expensive to craft like a Nether Star.
I love him seeing the floatator defying the laws of minecraft
2:12 its moving active redstone which is activating the moving block
8:42 its sticking to pistons and blocks that touch the sliding door
Mumbo's gonna have a field day with this
I think the explanation for it pushing air is like how pistons work with quasi-connectivity but i'm not a redstoner so i don't know, just the first thing that comes to mind
I think the reason it moved even the ytructure of the elevator you tried to make was because you attached the blocks to the structure that it wanted to move and i think if you attach it somehow else then it wont move it
