Want to know how to use a mechanical bearing, what about a cart assembler? How about making tree farms, giant drills, and ineffective turrets? This guide aims to teach you how to use and think about each contraption anchor so that you have the freedom to create what you want when you want! - Ігри
you can use barrels instead of chests and you don’t have to worry about them being obstructed
That's a great point! It seems that it wasn't the chest being obstructed tho, just bad timing with the storage interface lol!
@@dejojotheawsome ahh that’s weird
two saplings did get placed from the obstructed chest, but got destroyed when the contraption stoped
@@hallvardvesetrud1983 yeah, there is nothing wrong with the tree farm
BARREL SUPERIORITY GANG
(They're also slightly cheaper)
I love paving over my beautiful minecraft world so I can create a 2000 car parking lot and a walmart supercenter
There’s one advantage to using a radial farm: in early game or in moments where you don’t have a lot of resources to burn on harvesters, saws, and the like, all you have to do to get more out of one saw or harvester is to simply increase the radius of the swinging arm.
Radius bigger->wider circle->larger affected area->bigger harvests.
OMG WOW! IT'S SO BASIC. JUST GEOMETRY! Why did I never think of it like that!? It seems so obvious now that you point that out. Great tip!
Never thought about it, great idea!
And it will scale linearly based on the ratios of radii (plural of radius) - assume that R, r are radii and R > r, then:
path of the saw = diameterof the circle, small one is 2*pi*r, big one is 2*pi*r, so the ratios between them is R/r
e.g you start with a radius of 2, increase it to 4 - that's x2 times the blocks. 2 to 10 - that's x5 the blocks.
@@galgrunfeld9954 2 to 10 is 5x the length, but I'm pretty sure it covers more than 5x the area?
maybe I'm just being stupid though idk
It's the same concept as the math problem where getting a large pizza gives you more area of pizza than 2 medium pizzas. This doesn't work with tree farms because the trees will grow faster than the radial tree farm can cut them down but there is no time component of harvesters which means you can easily make very very large radial farms and the speed/efficiency only goes up with the larger your farm gets
Protip: glue in your offhand will automatically glue placed blocks. I like to put the deployers sideways on a tree farm and just have them go only 2/3 of the length of the saws. Also with chunk protection the deployers won't place saplings in a modpack.
ftbchunks (which is most popular chunk protection in modpacks) has "allow fake players" option, turn it on and delpoyers can work fjne
There's a redstone component added by Create that does the flippy-floppy mechanic that the Redstone blocks/pistons do. It's called Powered Toggle Latch.
Instead of running two separate signals in, you can just combine them into one and send it in. It will toggle each time it receives a signal, so it can also work with buttons and what-not
Also, thank you for teaching me about Redstone Contacts! I was using observers and two Powered Toggle Latches before! The redstone contacts made this new design way more compact, cheaper, and simpler.
bro the thing that i love the most about these tutorials is that he’s learning WITH us, it isn’t like a great master godlike perfect skill he is just some dude just like all of us and it really makes me feel very included in the process like i’m somehow helping the man teaching me😅
The thing about the chest in the first place wasnt it not working. He just stopped it on top of the saplings it placed. Those blocks werent blocking the chest on top.
THANK YOU. You are the first person to make people understand the process rather than the result in create. Most other YT channels make guides on how to build a certain design and make you do something that works instead of how it works. Kills creativity and innovation. Not saying that I could do better but someone probably could but won't because "this is optimal".
That chunck destroyer was pretty cool, never thought of that. As per the crop farm, i usually use a Toggle Latch to invert the rotation, instead of the two pistons+redstone block.
I like to put the drills and rope pulley on a gantry to make big Quarries. I just hook the gantry up to a sequenced gearshift so I can control how far out it goes and use stickers to attach and detach the pulley and platform. Works great.
You should probably mention that if you have glue in your off-hand (or 'shield slot), it auto-glues placed blocks, so you don't have to remind people to keep manually gluing it.
the only issue is that every placed block probably consumes durability
@@lory742G Yes, it will consume durability per block, but glue lasts long enough that you can get like 5-10 small-to-medium contraptions in before it breaks.
@@DontBother_YT ah I see. Anyway, the materials for super glue can be easily farmed with the mod so it's not something to worry much about
For the mining machine I tend to forego the redstone and just use normal rails. Instead, I use a furnace cart cause I have a charcoal smelter in my base so I cna give it a stack and it'll pick up coal as it goes.
Especially useful if you are making bigger tunnels cause the probability of avoiding coal is incredibly slim
My friend also added a deployer with cobble to place directly infront of the tracks so that if it hits a ravine or cave or whatever it'll just build itself a bridge
Genius approach, You can place the rails *and* the block the rails sit on if there isn't any. Good thinking!
The problem with the rotational tree farm is not that the chest is obstructed; it's that the saplings get taken out the contraption with the logs and other tree products by the portable item interface. In addition, setting a filter on the chute doesn't solve this, as the portable item interface has its own inventory that will store and stockpile the saplings.
I made it work by having multiple outputs for the different “crops” so for oak trees like I did, one for logs, one for sticks, and one for apples. 3 in 1 farm to me🤷♂️ and I plan to set up auto crafting the wood into more sticks to it’s more equal of a farm rate(I’m like that)
ah so that was just bad timing then, the farm does produce more than enough saplings to restock itself
@dejojotheawsome
it helps to manuall stock up the deployers with a full stack of saplings when you start the contraption the first time. then each deployer has to top up only a few saplings from time to time instead of waiting for a bunch of them. what i also like to do, have the "arm" of the contraption with the deployers going the opposite direction as the "arm" with the saws.
not sure if that helps for reliability of the whole thing but it might.
..what? Since when did the storage interface had any internal storage? It's an interface. It only _represents_ storage.
Second, the saplings don't get taken out before they can be placed, because the contraption makes a full circle *after* chopping the tree. The deployers had enough time to work. In fact, they've both placed a sapling. Notice that the 2 standalone saplings weren't there when the contraption was connected.
I personally prefer using windmill bearings for tree farms.
Yes, I need to attach at least 8 wool-like blocks to it, but then it powers itself.
They're a great option! I've just never liked how slow they are
@@dejojotheawsome Then add more wool/sails?
@@dejojotheawsome It's a tree farm, it doesn't really matter how fast it turns. I used to do them with encased fan over campfire.
@@Johannes_Kuhn I don't like hunting sheep haha I prefer just a water wheel is all! Windmill bearing are super super good for farms this is just a personal preference thing
@@dejojotheawsomeor you could Shear the sheep with Shears. Does anyone here actually play minecraft?
First time create user, your videos both make it easy to understand and you make create as a whole a drastically less daunting mod to approach. thank you for the tutorial!
idk how hard it is to play the create mod but these tutorials make it seem very fun
Give it a try if you never play it, you won't regret it.
It's not as hard as it is tedious in the early game, I'd recommend just playing a Create only pack just to get a feel for it. The most difficult thing to do early game is Andesite Alloy production. You're gonna need a lot of it. Once you get to brass though, smooth sailing from there.
I just started to play create and right now you're being my number 1 source of information. Love the way you explain things, thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I absolutely love the create mod but still a beginner. These videos are so helpful with understanding how these blocks work and how to combine them
Thank you so much for this. I really love how Create works but always thought something was missing, and the this block does this version could never hold my attention. This was such a great way of explaining how things work and why you would use what, awesome!
quick correction, the mehcanical rollers do not gurantee the blocks they break! Dont use them for item collection or mining.
Oh whoops i did forget to say that! Great tip!
They seem to work perfectly for sculk farming with my testing so far, they just turn it directly into xp.
@@Laff700 thats because sculk gives xp when broken without silk touch. It's not collecting the blocks, but breaking them, so xp is given regardless
@@holidaytheraptor6567 I think I should see how they affect infested stone too.
30 plus minutes of pure knowledge! I love itttt! I builded your moving drill design and it work perfectly… until is fall into a ravine that it 😅
For my gantry contraption I put a powered toggle latch to the gearshift and put the receiver behind it. The transmitters all had the same frequency and toggled the gearshift at each end.
Cheaper than one block of redstone and pistons ;)
I just got into playing create and this video was super informative! Thank you so much. I was struggling with the gantry and you made it look so easy!
I absolutely loved the way you explained how everything works in this mod! Your clear and engaging explanation truly inspires me to venture into new things and experiment with this incredible mod. Thank you for igniting my curiosity and motivating me to explore further!
Thanks for your tutorials, I'm still getting used to Create and they've been really useful so far!
love your tutorials so detailed and informative,please keep them up
Just started Create im going to be using EVERYTHING in this video. Thanks for the effort!
Dude I watched your ore 5x cuz I needed it and now I have a whole ass vault hunters world and am addicted to your series.
Love the drill build, I just started playing with create and I can’t wait to build one
As a Kinesthetic learning ADHD American that struggled with our school system I highly appreciate your teaching method of doing rather than listening.
you can also place the deployers horizontally directly behind the saws in the tree farm and they place the saplings, save yourself some linear chassis
Amazing, once again I learned more from you. Thank you so much!
love your vids! they help me so much in a lot of things that I didn't know, and I don't even know how you're not a big youtuber bcuz you make incredible content!
Hey the channel has caught fire recently so we'll see!
This is an excellent tutorial! You are so underrated! I totally expected you to have way more subscribers! You have a very professional way of speaking. The whole video was excellent. Honestly one of the best tutorials for the basics of the mod I’ve seen.
You’re doing everything right man. Keep it up!
Thank you so much that means a lot! Super glad you enjoyed :D
Love your teaching through doing. Much easier for quick information absorption.
this was such a big help i had try to make the drill so many times and fail becuse i just would stop and now i know why thanks
Love your style, straight forward. Thanks for the help.
A sequenced gearshift will also work for sending the carrage back & forth
Truuuue I gotta learn more about those things they're so cool
Yes they can set the tick rate to push, pull at a regular rate or a double speed rate as well
@@wwygylfgaming6612 that's amazing
This video is wonderful ty I have been trying to figure out create for the steampunk pack and now I have a direction to go in!
Such a helpful video for someone who has never used this mod before! Thank you!
I'm so glad I could help!
As a noob to this mod, I already feel like I understand so much and I’m sure there’s so much more potential so thanks
Thanks for the help! Great foundation for my create journey!
Never seen any of your videos before. This was the first. Got my follow man. Great video. Do more!
I never used create in any of the packs I've played because when I have I've strived for electric motors and didn't want to make any moving contraptions because I didn't want to make wire deployers. Now I see that I wouldn't need to! You've made me want to play Minecraft again.
With the piston and gantry setups, these are best utilized with the sequenced gearshift block which will move your gantry/piston a specified number of blocks so you don't have to worry about really any redstone
For the flip-flop mechanic you were talking about with the crop farm, I would use the powered latch. I find the powered latch extremely useful because it's a single-block set-reset latch with a lever on top. A side signal sets it off, a back signal sets it on, and it remembers the state when both inputs are off. Plus it's got a manual lever input. It's identical to your piston setup, sans the redstone block and the two pistons
love this vid! i just found you and i've already subscribed!
the tree farm, the crop farm and the auto-mining machines look very useful to me since me and some friends play on the life in the village 3 modpack and it has create in it and I am the main engineer there so these look very fun and useful, thank you my friend.
For the tree farm, if you dont feel like adding a powersource, you can just use a windmill and add all the blocks to it. You might want to replace all the solid blocks with wool though, as it will need at least 8 to move.
I do this for basically every early game, circular farm. Why use a mechanical bearing leeching off of existing power when you can make a 'X' sail windmill that allows each farm to independently run at the speed I want.
This is so gonna help so much with my dawncraft world so much! Thanks!
Love your videos it really getting me ready for when I get create mod
Hey there, great video, I'm going to have to build one of those infini-miners soon
You deserve more subs man! Love your channel!
Im loving these tutorials
Really nice guide ! Way better than a tutorial step by step on a specific design, keep going ! You rock
this was a great help, thank you:)
tank u i have been strugeling with the create mode but now i get it more
:)
Great video. This really helps.
i was gunna watch this video then within 4 minutes you damn near wrecked my hearing thanks alot ill watch someone who does do this and actually teachs things
I loved the automatic miner! Thumbs up :D
So you could make a moving platform across two aerial structures by using the gantry carriage? Seems super cool! Loving this new tutorial series ❤
The issue is a gantry contraption will solidify on any block collision. Thus only the mining/saw face can touch a block. Or the entire thing breaks.
You can as long as the contraption is unobstructed!
I'll need to do some testing on creative later today 👀
@Webo250 tried to do a tree farm at one point with gantry. It works but note. THE RETURN TRIP MATTERS TOO. You have to have saws double sided. Posts out of the leaf line if it's hanging or sticking up. And storage needs to be out of the way. Suggest doing a "wrap" design. Saws over. Deployers under the dirt (stationary or moving in lines with the carriage) storage with the Deployers. Yes it ends up underground mostly. But it's kinda just like a squeegee. Also. Make sure you have room to park the thing. It will solidify and constantly break saplings if you don't give a "garage" on each side of the farm.
I just prefer rotary farms because I don't have to think as much though now you've got me wanting to do a gantry farm for the challenge. Most of my power is underground anyway
at roughly 24:00 instead of using pistons and a redstone block you can just use a powered latch to make it a bit more compact and quieter
Also you don't need to put the harvesting on both sides, only one side is needed for it to harvest.
Love your videos, they are super helpful💯
i think for the gantry carriage, you could use a redstone toggle latch
I didn't even know that existed thank you!
@@dejojotheawsome i never really understood how redstone toggle latches work, even with pondering, would like to see a tutorial on that tho
For the gantry shaft, you don't need Redstone Conduits. Since the mechanism places when it stops, you could power redstone into one of the blocks that stops to detect when the blocks get placed. If I'm not mistaken, you could put a redstone link onto a contraption and when it gets placed, it'll be able to transmit the signal. This all just reduces the materials you'd need to use but, the great thing about Create is that you can make contraptions any way you want.
i want you to be a teacher in my school, i would listen to you for hours and actually enjoy it while learning a lot more
I've been trying to convince some friends to get into create mod, hopefully this showcase will do the trick
for the crop farm, you can also use a windmill bearing and place some sails on it. This will supply it with all the power it needs.
for everyone saying that the sapling filter dosnt work, the maschin only got 2 saplings we the wood was produced: you can see at 12:41 the two saps towards the connection, that where not thier before, deployers will take the item the moment it come within the contrabtion inventory, that was just bad luck ig. :^3 no hate thoe, lovely video!❤
Thank you for clarifying!
Thanks dude awesome tutorial
If you use radial chassis on top of the bearing and then the saws directly off the side, you can cut trees in that middle area.
I'm just barely scratching the surface of create and this helped me build my "chunk destroyer". Before I was using a mechanical piston lol
for the gantry going back and forth, I tend to use a Powered Toggle Latch in places where one would use a T-FlipFlop, both cuz it's simpler in my mind and saves me having to bother with actual Professional redstone and it also can save you a Redstone Link since you only need one frequency instead of two. Plus this could let you call back your Gantry in case you wanna decorate it or expand it or something of that nature
I didn't think i needed the talking RP but i dig it.
Cool useful fact: You can apply "stick" to a linear or radial chassis by right clicking while holding a slimeball or super glue tube. The slimeball is not consumed, and the glue does not loose durability. This will allow the chassis to stick to a non-chassis block, but only on the sticky side. Using a slimeball on an already "stickied" side of a chassis will apply "stick" all other "stickable" sides. The "stickable" sides look like piston heads, and the "stickied" sides look like sticky piston heads. You can sneak-right click to remove the "stick". You can also use the wrench to edit the extents of the chassis and it's "stick". Chassis blocks are really cool.
Theres a method I saw used in trioban's cobble gens that makes use of 2 gantry shafts that allows them to move back and forth with only 1 way input, might be worth investigating. I'll be doing my own tests later this week for a my farms
o/ hey bud .. loved the voice getting quiet and the ring letting louder. i play live music and it sounded like a next day echo (tinnitus) from the amps. nailed the pitch and everything ;)
Love it. Nicea and clear. good examples.
great vids love it. for the mining contraption would be good to always have it place a block under the rail in case it meets some giant hole
It does do that! That's why there are cobble placing deployers
@@dejojotheawsome oh my apologies I didn't notice
This video made me realize I could use rollers to easily harvest sculk blocks into xp(losslessly too) and replace them with more blocks to convert. Easy sculk farm! I'm infesting stone to make a silverfish generator.
Very useful, Thanks!
Oh my gosh thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed the video so much! :D
thank you for showing this video this video is really useful
18:46 the bearing is still the easiest option here. as long as you place the harvesters in line with the central bearing (instead of one block in front of it, like most people do), you only need five of them to reach the full 9x9 farm. to place down the harvester, yes you need a solid block behind it. but just put down some dirt, place the harvester, then remove the dirt. viola, you can place them in line with the bearing without extra blocks behind them making it look weird. simple and efficient.
If you use a radial chasi at the bearing, you can have the saws comming directly off the chasi and they'll be able to interact with that center most ring.
I had no Idea how much this was capable of
The limit to glue is around 2312 blocks which is still a very big amount.
Woah, that's awesome!
There is also a limit to how many blocks can be moved by a contraption which can be changed in the configuration file for create (or the in-game configuration menu)
Dojo: "I be someone can wire this to be fully automatic" Me, a redstone engineer: "Hello There"
I forgot about the combination of rope pulleys and gantry shafts. And also that ploughs does the same as a hacke/hoe is quite interesting
Great work on the video.
Thank you, I will now start oil drilling.
I'm probably late still i may suggest you a couple of things mainly about gantries: if you use 2 of them spinning the opposite way and attach a single contraption to both you can skip all the redstone part, otherwise instead of the double piston i would use a toggle latch, same thing, one block and as well you would only need a single redstone link
hope it's helpful
you definitively gotta do things both in older and newer versions of the mod for those that are stuck in 1.16.5 (if they use potatoes as computers or just dont like deepslate and stuff)
fun fact: in 1.16.5 you can make an auto-sustainable tree farm (furnace engine generates charcoal, it fuels itself with it, a CONTRAPTION chops the trees and sends the items to a place where it can be put inside the furnace or transported to a place where it can be used for something else)
This was very helpful
I’m gonna be honest I never leave comments but I gotta thank you this helped so much
I love this modpack so much i played it too much that my pc crashed so needed to build a better one to be able to play again wayyy to addictive
For drilling machines it can be a good idea to have a drill facing up on the outer edges. I've had amethyst bud and get in the way of lifting them back up.
You don't have to use redstone blocks as the power source to avoid lava lakes. You can use a slightly more sophisticated design with an extra minecart attached to the side via a minecart coupling and have it sit on detector rails. This helps speed up movement... and has the added benefit of adding a seat by design!
kinda proud of myself for automating that chunk eater so it does it automatically after you showed the "poor mans version".
Ooo how’d you do it?
@@dejojotheawsome two sequence gear shift on opposite sides of the gantry shaft and a comparator to check if the rope pulley is working and if it is then the gantry shaft is powered. Lastly a little bit of timing on some of the other redstone components but that's the main stuff
You need to set up stack size filter on the smart chute of your tree farm.
If you don't do that, your machine will be constantly losing suppling supply, which means up it wont' be replanting for a couple of seconds after dumping the items - on each rotation!
If you set the chute to only pull a full stack, this situation will be coming up a lot less often - only if the machine had exactly a stack of saplings in its storage.
Too bad create doesn't have any inherently filtered storage blocks - that way you could compost the saplings and inject bonemeal back into the machine without worryng about storage overflow.
Oh that's a great tip I didn't even think of!
this video gave me an urge to load up create above and beyond and just play it
The problem with the infinite drill is that the redstone block that keeps the machine running forever also slows it down. Because the redstone blocks takes about 5 seconds to break, it will always be runnning at 1 block every 5 seconds, even if the the blocks ahead break much faster
however u can make it a "not fully but still incredibly long time drill) by just using a furnace minecart and just feed it with coal when it needs it, that way needs no redstone and also tunnels everything like lava water etc
@@Lucy_hehehere’s my question. Why not use redstone torches and a plow? They break instantly
See the thing is, if you use redstone torches it won't be liquid proof anymore. A better option would be to use the furnace minecart, but that wont make it infinite anymore.
There are tradeoffs to these designs. The ultimate design would use deployers to liquid proof it, with redstone torches to power the rails, but then it gets a lot more complex
Looooove the infinite mine cart so useful!
