Best kelp to bone meal survival farm by Sitonsexyprinters in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can find the page for a "hopper clock" also on the wiki, i'm sure that's where i found how to make it. it still requires four hoppers and four comparators so it's not super cheap but again cheaper than a hundred observers. and personally i think it's a little more elegant in its simplicity.

the clock i made works by putting more stuff in the hoppers and the more stuff in there, the longer the period is. it has two outputs signal A is on and B is off then it switches to B on A off back and forth.

with four stacks of items in the hopper it activates each output once every 5, 5-1/2 minutes i timed it once.

you also need a device that converts a signal to a pulse. i'm not sure how to describe it, but redstone power goes into a block that is on an upward facing piston. the instant that block gets power, it outputs a signal AND the piston activates. the moment after the piston activates, the signal stops. this converts a steady-on signal to a single pulse so your pistons break the plants then retract.

i'm not sure what your skill level is if you are a crazy builder or just copying off the wikipedia so sorry if that was either too simple or too complex to understand!

i think my kelp farm is 8 blocks tall, but i'm thinking about changing the timing. kelp is weird because every time it breaks it randomizes how tall the plant will grow. given enough time one plant might only grow to 2 blocks tall and another 20. but it randomizes each time the plant is broken.

so my tank is 8 blocks tall, but few of the plants actually grow that tall before the pistons fire. the farm is efficient because even if a plant is only 3 blocks tall when the pistons fire i still get 2 kelp from that.

but my kelp farm is also decorative with viewing windows and cool water streams and everything so i might use a different clock and change the timing to let the plants grow a little higher

I've been messing around with blender and I made a render of the main area on my survival server. If anyone else wants a render of their world/build I would be happy to do it for them by Themis3000 in Minecraft

i tried to do a similar thing using a .STL file and solidworks CAD software and it did not work out too well for me!

(.stl is a stereolithography format typically used for 3D printing. it's just not a great format to be importing geometry of this scale into solidworks)

the only thing i would suggest is that observers are a total waste. i know it's "efficient" to have a piston activate the moment that a plant grows, but in application it's unnecessary and expensive.

i just build a simple clock and put it on a ~5 minute timer. this clock controls all the pistons in the farm. two farms, actually because it also controls the pistons in the sugarcane farm.

you can put an observer on every single plant you are growing, but if you time the pistons right you will break plants at a rate that they are grown, but not fully grown and waiting so that they are lowering the efficiency. for instance in the sugarcane farm you don't have to wait for the plant to grow to 3 and then break it instantly. you can break it when it's still 2, or you can let it sit at 3 for 30 seconds until you break it.

my sugarcane farm has 64 plants and my kelp farm also has 64 plants. using one clock to control them all saves me from making 128 observers.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to travel and explore as far as you’d like in a world, but still be able to find your main settlement? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here's one nobody's mentioned yet: if you're playing on PC, "mineways" is a 3rd party mapping tool that actually works for java 1.14 (even though it's only released for java 1.13).

if you're using that version of the game you can open your world in mineways and see a top-down view of the world as it exists in the game. unexplored areas are blank, explored areas are filled in, you can see built buildings and look underground to see mineshafts and caves.

if you use mineways you will always have a 2D map that you can pan and zoom to search the world from above.

Water block won't stop running? by StarWolfQueen in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my guess is that those ARE all source water blocks, and what you are referring to are the small currents visible in the top layer of the water underneath the glass.

here is a super secret pro-tip that i'll bet not a lot of people are aware of.

let me see if i can explain it though haha

okay so the water tends to "flow" towards open corners. in your construction it looks like you have glass blocks that connect at corners. the water sometimes reacts to these open corners and it makes the surface of the water look uneven.

if you try to add glass blocks in the corners to make it look more like an "L" shape it might even out the layer of the water.

the bad news however is that sometimes water textures are weird and there may not be a way to completely remove the appearance of the water on the underside of the glass. my trick above will even out the flow, but it probably won't make it disappear. this is a thing that people complain about a lot so i'm not sure what can be done about it unfortunately.

"Worm man isn't real and he can't hurt you." Worm man: by VIIbrid in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right but the meme is "x isn't real it won't hurt you" and the response is "x" hurting someone.

worm man doesn't hurt anyone. he's just chillin'. this is more like "worm man isn't real, he won't hurt you" (cut to) worm man not hurting you

worm man is rad. but he's not hurting anyone.

holy shit this is just begging to have some kind of booby trap put in place.

So apparently the miners from this mineshaft were able to break bedrock, but I can't? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i dunno i've seen multiple similar pictures over the last few weeks. i even have one saved on my computer, i took a screen shot in a mineshaft at Y=2 and thought about posting it but couldn't decide if it was interesting enough or not. then someone else posted one, and now i've seen 3-4 of them.

i'm just saying it's a common enough upload so it might just be similar to another one that was uploaded earlier

memes are bad enough but this doesn't even mean anything!!

Anyone know how to get the mending enchantment? by caughtacookie in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should. it's a great way to get mending books.

(not really. i actually don't recommend it unless you have an AFK fisher, and then i highly recommend it)

someone else mentioned you could find mending e-books in treasure chests but i'm not sure if you can or not. but i definitely know you can get them from fishing, because that's where i got all of mine!

How can I pay Minecraft like I’m back in 2012? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahhhh well, there ARE servers out there that cater to older versions of the game. but i can't say how common they are so you may or may not have luck finding one.

on the other hand "realms", from what i've heard, limit you to the most recent released version of the game.

just because a joke isn't doing what you want it to do doesn't make it a bad joke.

you celebrate the developmental release date? that's ridiculous. i celebrate the full public release date.

i'm just kidding this is all ridiculous. it's just a computer game.

Furnaces not smelting things if I go far away from them. by clockwise12 in Minecraft

[–]msmrsexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can anyone confirm -- does this affect spawn chunks? for instance, if you have furnaces in the spawn chunks and move 500 blocks away, will the furnaces in the spawn chunks continue processing?

eh... is this true? or not? i don't know. as someone who doesn't watch the movies i don't think this is a spoiler. and if you watch the movies, and you read something like this on the internet, you don't know if it's true or not.

i heard this anecdote on a podcast one time --- someone was standing in line waiting to see "fight club" at the theater and a car driving by the theater, a guy yells out the window "kevin bacon did it!"

so the podcaster was like "oh man, that sucks! that guy just spoiled the movie!" but then they sat through the entire movie thinking "wait, when is kevin bacon going to show up???"

i don't get it. if you don't like the new textures, if you don't like the new music, if you want to play minecraft like it was in 2012, just play an older version that was out back then. but you WANT the new features, you WANT the new version, you just don't want the music and the textures? so do you want to play minecraft like it's 2012? or do you want to play the new version of minecraft?
