MINECARTS OF DOOM // Get Good at Minecraft Episode 4

well come back everyone my name is meza

and today today we're going to be busy

but before we get into that let me show

you something i've spent the night

afking at the slime farm again and i was

testing hello

i was testing if the wandering trader

proofing has worked and i'm happy to

report that it indeed worked which is

fantastic but above all after two nights

of afking at the slime farm we have this

many slime blocks how cool is that

also i must mention that i've joined the

new fashion trend and i have a nice

little cave oh yeah

you can also join the caped crew if you

follow the directions in your minecraft

launcher to migrate your account to a

microsoft account with that out of the

way let's get on to today's shenanigans

we're going to need some moss carpets

we're going to need some moss blocks

some bone meal wood

probably some sand

and now let's go and head over to our

mine we're going to be tinkering in the

mine today and i need to put in some

security measures we need to prevent

mobs from coming in while we're just in

this general area so i thought

that we're going to replace these two

blocks

with carpets and instead of carpets

we're going to use moss

like so that should disable the ais they

wouldn't be able to pathfind through

there and then the next order of

business is that we need to make this

look less bad

there we go that's much better

and let's go and sprinkle some of this

moss around the area because that carpet

entrance right now looks really weird in

this environment hey that looks better

no

maybe who knows i've also realized that

i built this mineshaft entrance a bit

too close to the actual mine entrance so

we need to push that back a bit why

didn't it make it pretty and for that i

need space i need to dig it out and i

think i probably want to be overboard

and dug out way more than i needed but

but not i have some plans i don't know

if we're going to get to them today

but i have some really cool things

planned with this space

i think what's going to happen is i need

more stone do i have more stone here no

stone no stone stone stone stone

i know that we put there it is there's

stone did i put more stone here now

that's cobblestone

do i have stone here

yes very good okay cool so what we're

going to do is we're going to have this

as the side of our staircase and i want

to do one two

three four five six seven this is how

wide the entrance is going to be now you

see why i had to dig deep in that way

because this itself is going to be just

the entrance going down and then we're

going to do something clever over here i

kind of want to make it a bit taller

let's make it a bit taller oh god this

is going to cost me so much time but i

want to make it taller okay how tall is

this one two three four five yeah i like

that i might regret this but you know

what we're going to add in stairs we're

going to add in all sorts of things so

this might actually not be as high as it

looks and just like that with the power

of editing ta-da

this this took me about two hours but

look this is perfect really nice

lighting a good glide down and it takes

us all the way

down to diamond level and diamond level

did it take us to all right look at this

right for the taking so let's do i got

my fortune 3 pickaxe

oh yes

yes give it to me give me all the shiny

oh that is awesome 14 diamonds yes yes

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes i'm

also a proud owner of 31 levels so let's

go and do something about it last time i

checked the book should have unbreaking

three on it perfect

let's get some lapis

i'm breaking three book fantastic

let's go and put it on our pickaxe and

that is shaping up to be one nice

pickaxe

anvil

pickaxe

book

oh look at that efficiency four fortune

three i'm breaking 3 now we're ready for

branch mining are we really though

because there's this hold on i think i

heard a wandering trader

where are you hey hello

oh hey that's not a wandering trader hi

okay let's test our defenses come on

come on

can you follow me hello

you're an idiot this is what being

clever gets you horror

boom you're back to business so the

middle three is going to be where the

stairs go

over here we're going to have a minecart

track on both sides but for that i kind

of think that i want to hide it and what

i was thinking is that wherever you have

the lanterns

we're going to have

these fence posts

like that okay so that the light can

come through

and then we can also peek through and

see the minecarts going up and down

that's how far i might think

that's how far my thinking's gone i have

a bunch of blocks at my disposal i have

some mossy cobblestone breaks i have

some stone breaks i have some

cobblestone walls i have some stone

brick walls i have some andesite walls

and

i kind of want to experiment with this i

think we can try here something like

this you know bringing this out

putting something down there can we even

put that there like an underside wall

and then what can we do here maybe we

just have a pillar

huh

and then another one going through oh

these don't connect

oh these don't connect i'll bring you

back when i figure something out so

between the previous clip and this clip

there's been approximately two weeks

that have gone by i think i've reached

my first mental block with this series

and let me tell you what that was so i

was trying to make this perfect and

that's not it i shouldn't want to make

this perfect i just need to practice so

what i started doing to get myself out

of the mental block is to do it

iteratively so i've i've built these up

i've built the supports i have a few

rules of thumb that i want to follow i

want to have light come through here so

we know that we want to have these fence

posts over here and i know that i want

to see past it we're going to have

minecarts running up and down over here

i want to be able to see the minecarts

going up and down

and that's how far my thinking has gone

so instead of agonizing here for more i

thought that we're just going to build

it it's going to look ugly then we're

going to see what is going to look ugly

in this and then we can figure out how

to fix it so that the next time when we

do something like this it'll just work

we'll learn this is a learning

experience i don't need to force myself

to make the perfect thing we're

practicing and that's why we're here god

took me two weeks to get past this so

with that out of the way this is our new

tunnel it's repetitive it's ugly but

it's a tunnel so what do you think i i

think that i need help and i think i

need some of your help so here's my

here's my idea down in the description

below you'll find a link to a build

server you can jump on that build server

and show me your ideas take these

dimensions and you know show me what you

think would go well here and if i like

one then i'll make it happen

okay just join into that server claim

your plot and build something and let's

see what you guys come up with because

i'm pretty sure that a lot of you are

much better at this than i am so let's

you know let's band together and let's

figure it all out and also you might

notice some new tools

in my inventory that is because we need

to have a chat

we need to have a chat i've i've done

some work off cam you see right after

finishing that stairway down i got sick

i couldn't use my voice for a very long

time it wasn't your average gold it

wasn't coved but it was a call that just

didn't want to go away but it gave me

time to do some branch mining in

preparation of some of the projects that

we want to do and it also gave me time

to reflect on this series i was getting

into this mindset of that i have to

upload every single week because the

youtube algorithm and the blah blah blah

i don't want to care because that's what

takes a passion and turns it into a job

i don't want this to be a job i want to

enjoy making this content i want to

enjoy playing in this world and i want

to be able to keep this up for the years

to come so therefore my idea is

that i'm going to put out a video when a

video is ready i'm not going to stress

about it i hope you understand and

support me regardless back to the

content

so the really cool thing about brunch

mining for a while is that i have a

bunch of resources right now that i can

use and also i've got a bunch of shinies

look at all the iron that diamond the

redstone the coal i'm ready to build i

have a project because i don't really

like this storage unit i think this is

fine for a bit but everyone knows if

you've branched mine for a while you

know that you end up with a bunch of

junk so what i want to do is i want to

get this up

towards the door and i want it sorted so

that's what we're going to do now we're

going to build a transport system and

we're going to build a sorting system i

think the first part of any design is

going to be figuring out the user

interface so what i want to do here is

if i'm mining a new branch let's say i'm

at the other end i'm minding a new

branch i want to come out from that

branch

over here

and drop off the goodies and those

goodies should go and get sorted out all

right what do you think

sunken one or the hanging one

i kind of like the hanging one i think

it gives a bit more interest i quite

like the way it looks it's gonna be

awesome we're just going to need a crap

ton of hoppers and we're gonna need a

crap ton of chests oh

i didn't think this one through properly

and we haven't even started the storage

system which i'm pretty sure is going to

need a lot of hoppers and a lot of

chests

i've decided to not worry about this

problem right now and we're going to

deal with the transport system that's

taking the items all the way up to the

door one side is going to be going up

and the other one is going to be down

and i'm kind of facing an interesting

dilemma i don't know if i need to build

chest minecarts or do i need hopper

minecarts

uh let's experiment after some

experimentations in a creative world it

turns out that the hopper minecarts are

twice as fast if you're interested in

this experiment look for the hidden

episode now that we're considerably

smarter let's build this thing we're

going to start by putting in the stairs

and putting them in the correct way

adding in the chests

finishing up the hopper line and then

correcting all the mistakes that i've

made i'm not entirely sure how we're

going to do this interface here coming

from here

on to that side we're probably going to

have to replace this so i'm not going to

worry about this section right now we're

going to go up and we're going to build

our storage system uh

give me a second

[Music]

there we go now we can finally build our

storage system and i need chests for

that

just just just just chest chests here's

a bunch of chests and we're going to do

an interesting design

over here we could have a silo but i

personally don't really like the silo

build so i think what we're going to do

is start off from the other end

is just tile this backwards

all right we could definitely do this

this is going to be our main storage

system each of these stacks is going to

be one specific item

i know it's not much but you know what

as an output storage system for some

mining this should do well i guess

maybe

the next order of business we need to

figure out how to put the sorting system

in so what we want is hoppers going into

these chests right

because this is going to be the input to

the storage system which means that we

need to put a

sorting system on top of this

which means that we're going to be

needing

hoppers

up here right we're going to need the

hoppers the sorting hoppers over here we

need to make this pretty don't we

it's not something that i can do after

the fact

all right let's go and get some

materials i'm guessing you've all seen

sorting systems before nothing

spectacular going on here just your

stock standard impulse sv sorting system

moving on now we need to figure out how

we're going to get the minecarts

all the way up to here

and the

minecarts my knees

will come out somewhere here

and then they need to go over up there

i'm guessing that we could use rails to

just climb all the way up there but

where's the funny that

i've got a better idea all right hear me

out hear me out don't judge don't judge

what if

[Music]

we have a minecart

up to here

and then we would just have a water

column

going up there

taking the minecart to the height that

we want

all right salsa there which means that

we're going to have water going up there

having a fence on this side is going to

stop the water from coming out here

now the question is how are we going to

stop the water coming up from here

without it looking bad

we're making progress okay i like it

i think we're getting somewhere look a

nice little pulley system

not bad for a first draft what do you

think

let's see we're gonna test this banana

minecart

and

up it goes

goes around and uh

yeah we'll connect that one up later

okay this is step one so now

here's the next issue

when we're bringing stuff from

downstairs it's going to be sucking out

of the chest down there without a hopper

it's going to be a double at the hopper

speed but here

we're going to have an unload station

somewhere over there

that is going to be hopper speed which

means that we're probably going to get

minecarts coming up twice as fast

as going back so what i want to figure

out here

is how to have some sort of a minecart

buffer system so that we would only send

something through here

once it's finished unloading there we're

going to figure that out all right first

experiment

and no

next experiment

yeah too bulky

still too bulky

ah maybe this is the one hello yep

yes

yes

of course it works it's not my design

you have to give me credit for this one

though look at that piston action i

figured this one out all by myself to be

fair i had no idea that you can actually

stack minecarts without any extra help

this was my solution and i'm proud of it

look how cool it looks huh although it

is too bulky and noisy and completely

unnecessary but it is cool the

embarrassing learning doesn't end there

we actually have to figure out how to

build that thing into the space that we

have the most important thing is going

to be figuring out where to put the

fence gate hey torch you're going to be

in the way there and if the gate is here

i believe that we can then put the

tripwire

here

i think this will work we have a nice

little guiding shoot for the minecart

now we need to figure out the opening

mechanism and i believe

it all begins

with the redstone torch right there by

the way the design that we're building

is by cobblestone and dirt i will link

the original video down in the

description below please go and give

that video a big like and while you're

there give my video one too it's one

thing to copy a design and it's another

thing to understand it i think i've

managed to figure out what's going on

here we need to build a dropper based rs

nor latch this is all that's to it

nothing more

the sword is not in the top one now the

sword is in the bottom which means that

the whole system is locked you can

trigger the trip fire nothing's going to

happen but if you trigger the bottom one

with say a button or a minecart rail a

detector rail then the door opens and

it's open for new minecarts that's it

it's super simple super compact and i'm

very happy with it the output of this

system is going to be here we just need

to power this

easy probably need to cover it up as

well

sorted

and now let's give it a quick test let's

see what happens

minecart comes up here

goes up there

lands in the chute

and fantastic now this is locked because

we have that down there and if we would

open it up i don't have the button

anymore but i can make one

would come through

and lock again fantastic i'm actually

super happy with this all that's

remaining we need to take the minecart

back up over around build an unloader

get the minecart to come down and go all

the way back and the minecart is going

to roll all the way back here and then

carry on its journey now what we need to

figure out is how this minecart is going

to trigger this dropper and i have a

plan we're going to break this we're

going to break these two just to make

them not interfere

put one there put one there

put one there fantastic

grab our lovely redstone and

we're done

i think that uh this is it let's give it

a test we're going to put this minecart

into the system so it should load up in

there on the right now yes it's closed

fantastic so if we put this through the

system the wrong way come back

bye

well this is a quicker way up

so we can oh oh too late too late too

late

we're testing the system

oh how am i gonna get out i can't

believe i just did this how stupid do i

need to be to do this

do you think

that i could open the door from here

oh no i just broke something there we go

bye

i'm gonna die here i'm gonna die here

oh no here we go we go down and we're

good now i can come out

okay what did i break i think i broke

the the string here let's put it back

yes thank you fantastic okay this is

working i can't believe it

[Music]

okay so that i've opened manually let's

close it back um round two

one thing for sure we know that the

system works

[Music]

let's not mess it up this time around

push that cart in

up it goes over around and it lands on

the gate fantastic so now if a car comes

through

that opens that goes up comes all the

way back in and i could just turn this

off

and it would land there fantastic it

works after all these shenanigans it

finally works i just can't believe it

we're not done though not in the

slightest

we have to put the loader in place in

the bottom but before we get down there

i want to address something

minecraft 1.18 is out so the next

episode of this show is going to be you

guessed it in 1.18 that that's just

exciting so

minecart loader i'm going to put another

stacker into here we're going to hook it

up with this output and then we're going

to send minecarts going up

that way i am in the process of digging

out the hole that is needed this area is

probably dug out by mistake um i've

started by putting in the chest

that is going to be the output of this

now it's a bit offset because i want to

put the stacker into the wall over here

and if for that to fit it had to be here

so it is what it is and now all of the

logic is going to come in here right

after i clean this area from all these

hard to clear out blocks

gosh

i need a better pick

i have now hooked up the minecart to go

inside and come through this [ __ ] here

the shoe is here too

the tripwire is in place the drop is in

place

now

for the logic part for that i need to

run home because i don't have a target

block

and i don't think i've ever made one in

vanilla minecraft

chickens

the world

is once again saved from the chicken

menace all right hey bill hey bill hey

bill

do i actually have wheat or did i make

bread out of all well i do have hay

bales how does one make a target block

just like that back we go if you were

wondering where i was getting my wood

from it's here this i made this this is

my personal little tree farm it's

nothing official i just planted a few

saplings just because i needed some wood

okay

leave me alone i still like the way that

this turned out we're going to spruce up

the entire area over here and by

sprucing up i don't mean this

we're going to make it pretty putting in

the last pieces to the and gate this

should function let's test it grab a

lever turn that on

it's still off and in theory if i turn

this on

that works

amazing

the cut release is ready now he just

needs to get hooked up to the and gate

i should do it this actually made me

realize that this whole thing is wider

than it needs to be am i going to

rebuild it i am i am going to rebuild it

give me a second the release has been

rebuilt and it's much more snug now look

putting in a rising edge mono stable

circuit that will detect if an empty

chest gets new items and then we just

need to run this line over here on top

of that

through this down here

and into this line the missing piece of

the puzzle is connecting up to the other

side of our and gate and

what we're going to do there

is grab a repeater or a comparator

and just do this we can fix this by

putting in another repeater over there

and then everything's going to be all

right listen i'm going to be the first

one to admit that this right here

behind me

is ugly

and we're going to make this pretty

i just don't know how yet if you're

interested in this contraption in a bit

more detail i've discussed this in the

extra episode and while the previous

extra episodes were really well hidden

in the videos uh this time around the

link to the extra episode is going to be

in the notification channel on my

discord server find the announcement of

this video and it will be there in a

reply or a thread you'll find it one

more thing left to do we need to hook

this up with this other end of the rail

so let's just mine a hole

i don't actually know how we're going to

do this although we might just do the

exact same thing that we did here

so poke a hole in there

poke a hole in there

and i think

that

completes

our circuit

i think that we're ready for a test run

let's go and make all the minecarts and

let's start

the sorting system

i have finally loaded these up with all

the filters and all the items that we're

about to be collecting from here

and this last one is empty we'll figure

something out what to put in here and

everything that isn't filtered is going

to be flowing down into these chests

and that's it well let's load the system

up in order to get rid of this chest

monster what we need to do

is

take the output from that chest into

this right moment of truth when i hook

this up

the whole system becomes live this

should now be filling up yes amazing so

now the system is draining into this

chest

this will eventually start working its

magic and then it will go up to where it

needs to be oh this is fantastic news

and it would be even more fantastic news

if i actually

made this

work and i didn't okay

it's late okay

it's late that should work yes

there

but now this won't work

[Music]

i finally fixed it and up he goes yes

now where are they

so i've messed up multiple things the

first one is that this is off

and i think the second one is that we

need to let the first one pass can we

just do

this

yes we can

that should now be in there

loading

and we should be seeing yes it works

it actually works i'm so happy now i'm

over the moon with this and i have some

ideas and we're going to decorate this

and it's going to be pretty and it's

going to be awesome but

not this episode because this one

is over bye

[Music]

[Music]

you
