yo i want to build it on our server too hahahaha, its so fking cool telling that u have an orbital strike cannon
@@alejandrooibanez no we don’t rn, and ideally never will. We’re running create mod, and if anyone knows what that means, it’ll be pure destruction if it gets built

lame
We use it to remove trenchers and dig holes. Useful thing
I really think this technology could be used to make a tunnel bore for really, really long tunnels
Already in development

The only man in the entire history of the human race to understand how Redstone Comparators work.
i'm aware this is a joke however ima explain them anyways.
the comparitor either checks if the redstone going into the side is stronger than the one going into the back (compare)
or it subtracts the redstone going into the side from the redstone going into the back (subtract)
@@comet.x bro what 😂
@@comet.x Yeah I don't get it, make it layman
@@williamkwl6153 it either acts as x>y or x-y
@@seanandrews5329 (Yep I'm 3 months late, I know, but I don't care)
The redstone dust have a power loss within the distance (from 15 to 0, which means that redstone can go to 15 blocks before needing a repeater)
When you have power going inside of a comparator, it just gives the actual power as output (so if there is a power of 13 in, it will give a power of 13 out : input = output)
But when you have power going on the side of the comparator, then the comparator will check if that power is stronger (closer to 15) than the actual input. so, for example, if you have a power of 14 going on the side of the comparator and a power of 13 as input, the comparator will send a power of 0 as output, because the side power is greater than the ingoing power.
And, with the same logic, if the power on the side is less than the input, then it just gives the same output as input (remember ? input = output !)
The last function that a comparator has is the "subtract" mode (when you click on it and it has a torch that lits up)
it's very easy to understand : the input power (in our example it was 13) is subtracted by the power on the side (in our example it was 14)
as 13-14 = -1, it will just give a power of 0. if now you have 15 as input and 10 on the side and the comparator on subtract mode, then it will give a power of 5, because 15-10 = 5. That means our redstone signal going out of that comparator will be able to go to 5 blocks before needing a repeater.
I detailed a lot so I hope you will be able to understand this much more than before, have a good day :D !

My question would be, can you throw in a ender pearl loader to this thing to tp to anywhere in the world that is loaded. Even better is if the pearl is somehow put at the end of the orbital strike so you can super hero landing in the huge pit!
Yooooooo I love this idea. Or if you could have a remote activation for the cannon (with preprogrammed coordinates) it could be like an air strike. If you built a whole wireless red stone transmitter you could build a military outpost or a aircraft carrier you could wirelessly set coordinates from. Extra points if it’s connected to a Morse code system on the ship with a single note block that beeps whenever you touch it. The add skulk shreakers on the ship to act like a raid horn there’s so many possibilities
If you preprogram a spot in the machine itself the wireless system could transmit translations of the original coordinates by adjusting the location by a scale of the lecterns and any direction. I understand tnt doesn’t apply force linearly, or at least I think, so this wouldn’t be precise but it would be really fun to set the original target to a base and have a remote controller in an outpost by the base. You could send simple messages to the main cannon to slightly change the location of the strike as you watch it live from close to the target
pearl not purl
U would have to align the pearl
the location where the pearl lands would have to be actively loaded
The problem is loading the area you want to pearl to
Edit: wait you could load it with tnt that is processed ahead of the pearl bc it loads it for 1 tick
This man used more linear algebra in this video than I did in my college class
I don't know how to tell you this man but you go to a clown college
25:32 Wait, so the chunks at the target don't even have to be loaded? The tnt will still get there and just explode when the player comes back? That makes this even more insane! This is the biggest achievement in redstone ever
Fr, mojang added redstone for stuff like automatic doors and some chest management, and now we have Redstone Computers, Minecraft in Minecraft and the Orbital Nuclear Strike Cannon
Ok, that was an insane explanation. Good job mr Metre!
Now we need how to build the ultimate perimeter so I can make it obsolete with the instant perimeter machine
@@cubicmetre "instant*"
*takes one day of lazy chunk loading to charge up
@@cubicmetre is it actually possible to make a perimeter instantly if we remove the obsidians
@@bossa98765 yes if you hook up thousands of these things, but the goal is to get a machine that could do it automatically. it'd be amazing if you could auto input coordinates into the machine which would make it actually reliable
@@that_one_guy934 That would be super cool if you could just build a machine and whip out a perimeter instantly every time you want. And what if it gets super advance to the point you could customize the shape of the perimeter as well
The bit about the powdered snow just unlocked the whole design for me. I was in awe as to how you could possibly calculate so perfectly the insane speeds and upwards angle to get a parabolic curve where the tnt comes essentially straight down on the target. With the powdered snow quirk it's as simple as just setting the tnts position offset via its velocity since it will stop moving predictably. Brilliant!
You need to hook the input to a hardcoded calculator which takes binary coordinates and automatically outputs the amount of tnt to the dupers.
Then use some weird mechanics to locate players via redstone and convert the data to binary, reduce delay and you have a full-auto-auto-aim ballistic projectile launcher.
Ferb...
This is the way
You could enter the digits into lecturns. Maybe in octal so it’s a bit easier to calculate with
@@maboesanman entering into lecterns needs manual intervention, its not automatic
@@greenmarble638Sadly there isn't a way to locate players with redstone throughout the world, without actually putting redstone at these positions, at which point you could just use a standard TNT cart bomb
I've been playing Minecraft for 11 years now and I still get surprised everyday of what people is able to do in this game. Sad that only a small part of Minecraft players know how complex this game can be!
Hello, one Russian streamer improved your gun and made adjustments to the depth of the shot, the strength of the shot, and the width of the funnel by the fact that when firing and setting additional settings, the gun itself reports the distance from each hole and prepares volleys immediately for many holes, he literally launched it all yesterday and hit 5 by 5 holes with a volley, and in addition, he added a counter and a timer

Looking at the crazy build of the Anvil launcher on Hermitcraft by Docm77, who mentioned the insane amount of work put into mastering the mechanics of the contraption; and then followed by this wonderful demonstration of some of the mechanics in detail by you in this TNT cannon is just awe inspiring! Props to the everyone who makes such kind of builds. It is so cool that a TNT cannon discord exists where all the magic happens!
Bro's the Magnus Carlsen of Minecraft. He could be designing mars robots for NASA, or be one of the greatest physicians of his time but instead he decides to bully other players in a game with completely overengineered tactics, incomprehensible for us mere mortals.
That's based.
I'm studying physics and I had never thought that I could apply the same mechanics to a block game :D
This is incredible, it also kind of introduces the concept of nuclear war to minecraft. I would love to see shenanigans with this on smps. Also I really appreciate this explanation video, you are so good at that and now I actually understand what just seemed like witchcraft to me in the original video, so thanks 😊
I'm trying so work out if you could create a multiple impact system for bigger holes. Perhaps you could create a first batch of TNT, then use a couple of TNT to offset it's velocity before adding the next batch. Once all the batches are loaded you start setting off the main propellant TNT to launch all the batched together.
I've already started to work on this
@@cubicmetre I can't wait for the results from this
@@lucidity7145 well, Zakviel and his subscriber somehow made an upgraded version that can shoot multiple charges and the entrance height can also be changed.
@@cubicmetre you definitely should do that cuz one guy made a version that shoots multiple holes, and when he tried shooting 625 shots, each containing a 1000 tnts, the server almost died, he had to stop at 120 shots, luckily it successfully shot, but charging the tnts that launched the shots took more than half an hour, whereas charging the shots themselves took way longer. By that I mean that the system for scarce shooting would be more optimized than shooting multiple holes at a time
@@cubicmetre I think the new noteblock system could help
The moment you said instant perimeter im certain that you will never stop thinking about making it till you do
Im excited for the video on it
Thanks for posting this! I'd also like to thank you as your videos have given me interest in this side of technical Minecraft that I'd never even thought was this developed. Can't wait for what comes next.
This is amazing. I am always mind blown with your crazy work. Keep it up!!!
My man this IS building death star from scratch
Absolutely crazy. Someone needs to add control options with wireless redstone so that you can fire it from anywhere in the world.
Zakviel Channel, he is do this in mine shield
@@djdhdsjj, don't work in vanilla(((
Man this is really crazy! You made really cool stuff! Keep it on!
What's next? You make a particle accelerator that can rend space into shreds? You are a madman, and it's super awesome!
Edit: Some mad scientist said they already kinda did, so I'll do one better. A railgun that shoots the projectile that supercedes and transcends it's own reality, finesse itself through spacetime and shoot someone in real life in past present and future?
Probabli next is a instant quarry machine using the orbital strik canon
They already have one. Kinda. There’s the thing with data splicing or whatnot where they are able to get any block including command blocks in survival. Or the one glitch machine that’s essentially quantum entanglement hard to describe, sadly it was patched cause of how game breaking it was. (It’s called item shadowing he also has a video on it)

“oh neat. hey remember when you blew up my base earlier?”
This is amazing Sean! I'm trying to make a Discord bot to do the calculations so this was SUPER helpful
29:57 tbh the first thing I thought about was teleporting into unloaded chunks with enderpearls that get loaded by the tnt explosion, just need protection or a totem or is there something preventing that idea?
you could also just displace the enderperls speed such that it apears away from teh explotions
@@plopgoot5458 idk what you're talking about but sounds like a good idea 👍
This reminds me of the tech we'd use in Factions... TNT cannons got incredibly precise with tunneling effects aka "Nuking" in opposing factions' walls. Sand stacking and midair sand stacking all came to fruition back then. I remember writing a python script at one point to calculate exactly where the TNT would be based on the position/quantity of the propellant. flash forward about a year and a concept for one-shotting multiple base walls at once happened. good times.
It's a delight, and also insane to read about modern faction server tactics like this. I last played in early 2013 and I encountered NOTHING at this scale. The new tech everyone was talking about was adding falling sand blocks to payloads to blow up water-protected piston doors.
The instant quarry sounds really neat!
the mechanic at the end is really exciting ! if you or other people develops an instant perimeter with this, it would be insane
THIS IS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND! ITS COMPLEXED LOOKING BUT ITS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYTHING WORKS!
dear god Cubic PLEASE make that instant -server crash- perimeter maker
We really love watching your videos. Please upload daily!
Oh shit @29:00
You made a particle accelerator
Them chunk border holes look like quantum physics to me
I hoped that you would look into the digging possibilities, but what you showed at the end will enable crazy things!
I have just now, after I have been binging your videos for 2-3 weeks, noticed, that your not a many year old channel with over a million subs, but rather new with "just" 81k subs.(which is wicked fast btw, congrats on that).
Your videos are punching way above your weight class, your doing a really good job explaing the important stuff in a way someone with just bearly above average theoretical understanding and no skill in building or even designing restone contraptions myself can understand most of the stuff you say. I, personally, could have even more explaing in there, especially on certain mechanics (or where you have have explained them already previously) if I had to give constructive feedback, but that's in huge parts thanks to my knowledge about all of the details or better lack thereof.
Keep it up, I can't wait for the next utterly insane thing you post
This is so awesome. The explainations are also good. sooo cool
I love this tipe of explaining vid and you are a genius
pretty cool, good job
Love it can’t wait for the instant perimeter
This is the most interesting video I have watched in months
when i first saw this boi from you my first idea of usage was instant quarry and i have powerful enough server where i will do it
thank you for your invention cubicmetre!
With the underground TNT "surprize" demonstration, as soon as it blew up, an ad played. just before I realised that it was an ad, I thought that either your game had crashed, or the video ended. Either way, I was entertained twice over.
One advancement I'd love to see to this technology would be the ability to program multiple strike positions that it would hit sequentially. Logically that would allow you to have just one machine that can make infinite perimeters anywhere in the world if you increased the payload to be strong enough to reach bedrock. I definitely think it would be worth it in general just cause of how much harder perimeters are in 1.18+ although I know that would require almost entirely reworking the targeting counters cause you can't automatically interact with lecterns
This is simply insane, Especially the outro part
Can't wait to see this tech's development after a couple of years.
Thanks for your video.
I really wanted that video to be made! :D
The whole technology is insane enough as is, and then at the end I hear you say "...the possibility of the 'instant perimeter'...". I now feel like I should throw my headphones and punch my monitor, lol
next step in tnt cannon technology is an orbital strike cluster cannon. Imagine a cannon with not only accurate strike capabilities but also a variable in creating a field of tnt charges, it can be a single downards charge or a line of charges, or a rectangle, all using redstone to determine how the charges are spread out.
Excellent documentation
It would be so cool if you could use the tnt chunk loading technique for long instant redstone lines
Now waiting for someone to inevitably build this on 2B2T
YOU, SIR, operate on an entirely different level. Amazing.
I would love to see an automatic perimeter! Also an automatic ancient debris quarry?
very interesting i already head something along the lines of instant perimeter, after docm build his anvil canon. I was bit disappointed when he didnt build your crazy anvil everywhere all at once canon (still amazing what he build nonetheless).
You bastard! You’ve made me interested in obscure mathematics by advertising a Minecraft tnt cannon!1!1!!1!1
thank you for this pannenkoek level explonation
Found this fascinating
All I need now is a list of blocks needed in the description
im proud to say that this is the first full cubicmeter video that i watched to the end AND understood
Чисто заквиель моментум
the future of wavetech, instant quarrying 👀 and then, ofc, instantly pick up everything with falling hoppers ;))
This gives me wonderful ideas >:)
Is there any place where I can get a tutorial or a map to build this?
I played Minecraft for 11 years and yet I still get surprised by how creative players like you can get.
Great job on that one, I have to sub after this
Holy crap. That gem at the end...
I remember playing factions with kman in 2017 lmao did not expect to see him here
So if TNT is loading chunks for a one tick is it possible to somehow hook it up to chunk loader in order to be able to turn it on remotely?
I had the same idea! that's what I thought he was going to do when he started talking about an instant perimeter. Being able to wake up distant farms with a chunkloading system like this would be amazing
Maybe if you put a portal at the chunk borders where the tnt exploded it might be possible to teleport the tnt right before it explodes. That'd trigger the portal loading for 15 seconds on the netherside which could be used to load the area. Which (in case it works) opens up the question if the tnt keeps it velocity on the netherside and travels even further or if it just destroys the portal and maybe even stops the 15 second chunkloading and immediatly unloads the area again. I'm currently taking a break from Minecraft, but these questions might get me back into it. Maybe somebody else has time to test this
Edit: Not possible, asked on the tnt archives server about this. Answer: The tnt only fetches block data from the memory, therefore nothing else than this explosions effect on blocks is getting processed. So no portals, no entities, nothing, not even the tnt effect on the items from previous explosions or something.
I think we need the MC equivalent of The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)
Wouldn't apply here, TnT is classified as a conventional explosive and thus is not prohibited by the TPNW
In the demonstration you had at the end; is there a reason the tnt was exploding at the edge of a block? And would this chunk-loading process redstone in those chunks?
Can't wait to see some death star quarries soon
This is insane!!
This is a psychotic amount of work for a fucking Minecraft TNT launcher. Good shit lad.
Cant wait!
Looking forward to Hermitcraft season 10 when Doc uses this to establish dominance over the entire server!
keep it up cubicmetre!
That's Insane
Hey cubic, since u posted the first video talking about this crazy machine i've been wandering if it may be possible to make perimeters with this by just inserting two coordinates and letting the machinery to decodificate them and destroy everything in between using those crazy holes that it makes with TNT. It would be kind of revolutionary to have a single machine that can make an unlimited amount of perimeters almost effortlessly so technical players don't have to spend most of their time just mining or building giant quarries which since 1.18 are a lot harder to build.
If noone does it I'll probably try to adapt the machine to this use by myself to use in my world but I think it might be easier for the creator since he knows exactly how it works and how it could be possible to actually make this. Anyways thank you for all the amazing work that you did to design this and make it possible :)
Yes, we def want an instat perimeter
Would be incredible if you developed the tnt knockback mechanic from the 'voodoo' video into a co-ordinate triangulator to accompany this.
its not properly working on my server can you help?
If you chunk load a 5x5 will the center chunk be entity processing?
so with the wireless redstone with falling items would be perfect imo to load chunks to teleport to anyplace then back to set new cords
the setup he showed would only give you 832 loaded blocks across 13 locations but still cool idea
new chunkloaders are a must now
unless you divide the map into 8 minus the center map make a machine that loads all the chunks in one of the 8 maps for a short time for you to teleport there and back using a wave machine or something to load 1/9th the map to then choose specific cords
this is literally minecraft quantum mechanics
Please make a step by step tutorial on how to make this please. I want to make this in my world 😊
okay, we need the instant quarry
What do you think the impact of the new wireless redstone will be on the compactness of designs and new designs in general? I'm new to redstone and technical Minecraft so it would be interesting to hear what you would have to say on the matter.
Please build that concept for an instant quarry. It may be entirely impractical, but it must be built.
Could the tnt loading be used to make a chunk loader for the end?
The powdered snow being in the sky over whatever you want to hit is like the ultimate Achilles heel, all you need to do is remove 1 powdered snow and the entire contraption becomes useless
that is assuming you would go out of your way to break the powdered snow
The problem is, if you don't have the powdered snow then the payload will continue flying as it reaches the target. However if the target is unloaded the cannon will still work without the snow.
@@cubicmetre how can it work while not rendered? doesn't the tnt still fly over it?
amazing
With the knowledge presented at the end it should be possible to solve the offset issue in 14:30 by simply giving the (in the picture) bottom and left tnt momentum in the last tick before exploding so it moves forward in the lazy chunk, aligns itself against a block and explodes in this exact tick because it is still processed. I guess that my logic is some sort of flawed because the solution seems too simple and I'm not at all in the subject, therefore I'd love to get corrected.
Probably in advance, having a set of dolphins, at a safe distance away, could continuously circulate the items to keep them from despawning while hopper minecarts over 4 hoppers each would collect the items, and load them into shulker boxes, maybe on the nether side to reduce the client side lag and having them moved to the lazy chunks to make sure they're collected before they despawn, if their 5 minutes is paused while inside those chunks.
I have a feeling some 6 or so months from now, Fit is going to talk about how someone built an orbital cannon in 2b2t and is using it to destroy bases without even leaving their own.
PLEASE design an instant perimeter/quarry machine. I NEED IT‼️‼️‼️
I would love to see a non-stab charge version, just spread the tnt across the surface
I remember on (legacy) Console Edition, if an entity was hit by a strong enough blast, it would actually pass through blocks. this coupled with how where a player was looking would affect their motion in a blast, made me able to get into the void (bedrock wasn't breakable in creative mode on Console Edition)
Could it be possible to build a redstone computer to do the co-ord calculation or would the chunkloading interfere?
It is possible, you can load chunks next to the ones loaded by the cannons and put a computer there. Just need to make sure not to load chunks that are supposed to be lazy. Now that i think about it may be possible to get tnt amounts for multiple coordinates, run the cannon multiple chunks, and blow the entire area intead of a single position. Instant perimeter without much modifications to the cannon itself.
Really want a build tutorial for this
A thought: could use this to launch ender pearls? You could use this to nearly instantaneously teleport to any loaded chunk in the world. Forget piston bolts, you have cannons!
