Important! In case you plan to build this without watching the tutorial make sure to place those cobble blocks before starting it. Most people that had issues so far didn't, which causes it to fail. imgur.com/a/qkBacBY

Me: sees 240 Oh that is nothing 240 per tnt Oh god

Can you do 1 block per 240 TNT

18,000 items per hour Just to put that into perspective that can make 2,250 furnaces. That is 35.5 stacks of furnaces Who doesn’t need 35 and a half stacks of furnaces?

ilmango is deutsch. He speaks english. KZfaq subtitles : nah he speaks deutsch.

Thank you so much for the thorough tutorial on this contraption! I built your universal tree farm a few day back and today I managed to finish this blast chamber too. Building it did not take long, just around 2 hours, but I made a mistake during the build somewhere, I misplaced at least one observer and the contraption blew up from there it took another 2 hours to rebuild the machine and actually find the mistake. Now the blast chamber is fixed and works like a charm! Thank you once again for this amazing tutorial!!

Thanks, now I can have the amount of cobblestone I need a 100000 times

I really love the use of emerald blocks for counting spaces, makes it much easier to follow. Thanks as always for the amazing work!

just built this and it works fantastically! Had a bit of snow cause a meltdown but oh well lol. Amazing work as always ilmango, can't wait for the new UTF

This is sick! This invention is incredible. I can't understand how the pistons do it... yet. It just works and I'm amazed. Great work!

The German auto-generated subtitles are going crazy!

Works in 1.16.1. I built it once and had the issues everyone else had. When tearing it down to rebuild I noticed that the observer facing out of the trap door that the TNT waits on was facing the wrong direction. After rebuilding it and running into a couple small things it now functions perfectly. What I noticed in my building and reading through the comments, the block going in the center and blocking the TNT could be a result of many different mistakes. Because the starting state of the blocks it's so important, I strongly recommend just rebuilding it more carefully if you run into this problem and don't see an obvious solution. Also, DO NOT UPDATE THE OBSERVERS while building. If you need a scaffolding block or a block to place the observer against, make sure you place it in a spot where it will not update the observer when you break it. Anything out of place will doom you.

Awesome design, just built this in my 1.16.1 single player and it's working great. I do recommend using litematica for a build like this, because even a small mistake is almost guaranteed to result in the whole thing blowing up. Also if you're playing on a server you need to check if the server is running something like spigot, because spigot messes with redstone and will break complicated timing-sensitive contraptions like this one.

Just for reference, with this blast chamber, simply a stack of TNT can blow up 15,360 blocks, and that’s 4.44 double chests full of items

"Stefany wohlfahrt bild des team titels"... subtitles xDD Btw. you are amazing Ilmango!

Where would Minecraft be without this man

Awesome contraption, just finished building this in my solo survival world, thanks :)

Excellent video. Next level comprehensive bro

Ilmango: If you are allowed to dup tnt on a server, you would be allowed to dup sand too Sad hermitcraft noises

that universal tree farm looking fresh

still working wonderfully on 1.16.2, built it on a vanilla survival server; one of my favorite ilmango creations, I learned so much about pistons just building this

For those confused with the 1.16 update to redstone dust, just leave it as a "plus" in all instances of building the blast chamber

Holy shit that's a crazy thought out contraption! Godlike minecraft powers :ooo

8:00 "Sometimes you only live once and four times." -Ilmango auto-generated captions, 2020

Ah yes a redstone contraption I will never use! I love ilmango.

New UTF? Can't wait

If you are builiding the blast chamber on single player and you are having problems with blocks being pushed into positions where they should not be (like the center), I would stronly advise you to rebuild the entire thing and pay really good attention to observer updates. Basically all the observers on the two outer piston arrays should be placed without any further updates until you start the thing. The reason is that updating those observers by for example removing a block that they are facing will result in sticky piston activation which results in things being pushed out of sync. I have built this thing twice. The first time it failed consistently and after many hours of trying to fix it I decided to rebuild it completely and to basically do exactly what ilmango does, i. e. not updating any observers on the outer piston arrays. All the observers in the center piston array and those which are attached to the single pistons are not affected by this issue. Assuming that you placed all the other things correctly, it should work. I will try to hook this thing up with ilmango's universal tree farm and see how that goes, I have only tested the chamber with "manual" block input so far. Playing on 1.15.2 btw and no idea how the contraption behaves on servers. Edit: After running the universal tree farm + blast chamber for like 30 min I can only say that the contraptions are working perfectly together. Thanks a lot mango!

Thanks, every time new ideas

Brilliant, thanks mango

I'm getting close to this amount using a far simpler design I came up with based on your old cobble farm with the layered tiers, but it does both cobble and basalt with a button press like your newer fast one that spits the single noodle of stone out. It ranges from 210-250 blocks per TNT. The design destroys 6 layers per blast vs 4 like your old cobble farm. It's a bit faster with basalt than cobble, since basalt solidifies faster, but it's very reliable in 1.16. It's tile-able and able to connect a bunch of them, reliable (doesn't jam or blow the hell up lol), and doesn't cause much lag at all depending on what you do with storage to handle so much stone. Edit: I squeezed in another row and average is now 256 cobble/basalt per TNT. Sometimes a few less, but then the next blast drops more (the blocks that get hung up on the jagged destroyed stuff. The redstone is actually very simple compared to this video. These images show how they can tile in a row easily, but the count is from only 1 of the 2 farms pictured: i.imgur.com/mUpRxDt.png i.imgur.com/3NaqxBB.png i.imgur.com/6Mc9sD1.png

TO ANYONE BUILDING IN 1.16+!!!! This blast chamber works. I built it in a vanilla 1.16.1 server and it worked after a long time of trial and error. I find that the main issue that people are having is the starting orientation of the pistons and observers. Once the machine is ran, the orientation and order changes, and the machine will not work. I strongly recommend using LiteMatica to make a schematic of the chamber from the world download. Make sure that the chamber you make a schematic of is not one that is connected to the cobble gen, but one of the two that aren't connected to anything. However, I will confirm that this does work reliably in 1.16.

i've had to rebuild twice now. I noticed i used regular pistons on mirrroing monostable circuits but that was the 2nd time around. Idk about the first but I'm sure Its something silly like the wrong pistons. Thanks again though man, i'll get it working eventually x]

ill mango: really fast efficient fully automatic cobble generator me: mines one block every 2 seconds with a stone pickax

12:49 is where he starts the tutorial for the powering the side pistons incase anyone needs to rewatch that part

If you're having problems with this in 1.16, make sure the single dots of redstone dust are in their default mode (a + sign), not as a dot

The secret is to go to the world download and place all blocks (including the cobble blocks that haven't gotten pushed down by the center pistons) down exactly like it is in the download. I did that and it worked. The main things to look out for differences wise is the 6 sticky pistons on each side and their normal piston counterparts. Also, check the binary system and make sure the observers are pointing the right way. If it blows up then try again. If you have cobblestone getting pushed down outside of the little ring then you didn't have the rails go far enough, double check that.

I built this on my private server that is on 1.16.5 and it works great. I did have some problems in the beginning the same as many others reported where a block eventually ends up in the middle. I was lucky enough to notice before the TNT got released the two times it happened. Thanks to all the comments reporting such problems I was watching for it. The first time it happened it was due to two missing blocks under the binary counters. I missed them when building the mirrored version of the counters on the left side. I cleared out all the blocks and reset the counters using the trick that someone wrote about in one of the comments. That trick extremely helpful because it avoids having to rebuild the counters. Sorry, I don't remember who wrote that comment and I am unable to find it again right now. The second issue I had was due to the mono stable at the block input being out of sync with the correct starting state. So when you have to repair, it is important to reset it completely and put those blocks in as Ilmango mentions in the video and in the comments. Once again, I had to clean out the blocks and reset the counters. After that, the blast chamber has worked perfectly even with the lag I have in the area I built it in (TPS is around 13-14). I paired the blast chamber with the universal tree farm.

I found the problem, I think. It’s just to do with the cobble block primer. The distributor module that splits the block stream into two is set to the wrong state in the tutorial. So to fix your problems, just put the iron block that is moved back and forth by the piston (to cut the red stone line) in the other position and it won’t break right at the start. Any other problem I came upon was just to do with feeding the blocks in by hand and have them be pushed by a smart piston. If you just use an observer or comparator clock you won’t have this issue. But... If I remember ilmango correctly it’ll the be a block every 4 game ticks as opposed to every 3 then. But I might be wrong about that. Anyway... these are the solutions I have to offer. Fantastic design btw ilmango!

I tried building it myself and it blew up :( And I tried building it again and it blew up again. But awsome blastchamber btw, keep up the good work!

I would recommend 2 pillars for orientation, made a few mistakes based off orientation, but then again I'm bad at that stuff

To those wondering if this still works in minecraft 1.16.3 it does. I made my fair share of mistakes and got frustrated on numerous occasions but the farm still works like a charm. If you are running into problems triple check literally everything. Cannot thank you enough Ilmango for this awesome design.

(2:00) I love how he explains standard survival to us, although we have never played otherwise(I think ilmango don‘t really now how to play normal survival, he had to google it ;))

2:18 "In my opinion, one hour of shoveling sand is definitely worth it if you can avoid breaking one million blocks by hand yourself..." I think that one belongs in the sever understatement category. Made me chuckle lol

guys 25000 hours is about 3 years. 3 YEARS.

It took a couple rebuilds but I got it working so far with all the same settings as this video. Two of my observers were in the wrong spot on the ends for the switchers. i will rebuild it in survival now and hope for the best!

When I first built this (Java 1.16) it didn't work. I kept getting vertical "stalagtites" in the four corners of the shape of logs and they would break the machine. Turns out there were two problems. First, in placing some of the blocks they must have updated the downward facing pistons along the side of the build. There should be one at one end that is pulled back and another that is one back from the other end that is pulled back. By the time I finished building it there was a different configuration. So I had to break them and replace them. The other issue was I mis-oriented one measly piston. Now it works great! The only problem I have run into is that when I feed it blocks too quickly at the head of the line of logs going into the splitter if there is lag it can break the machine. I've seen it happen where the log gets placed on top of the stream and then the logs going into the splitter overshoot and tear out redstone. I would STRONGLY suggest you save a backup of your world as soon as you finish the build and BEFORE YOU RUN IT! That way you can restore the backup and work on debugging it. Saved me having to rebuild it over and over. Now I've got Ilmango's Kelp farm feeding into composters and feeding the bonemeal into his tree farm and that feeding into the TNT blast chamber. (And I have a creeper farm producing gunpowder for the TNT). Slick! Thanks Ilmango!!! Don

i sometimes think that if i fully understood all of ilmango's vids i would probably one of the expert redstoners

Mango at his best.

Hello! Just i little question... Drop of server's TPS could break/make the machine work badly, right? Let's say I'm on a server with several players and TPS goes to 16... Does that affect the chamber? Thanks :D

Guys i just booted up a schematic and built it, it does work in 1.17.1, mine is going smoothly without any problem. Just be sure to double or even triple check every observer/repeater timing, or just boot up a schematic as well like i did, since it's easy to fuck it up with so much instructions all at once :)

hey whoever gets to read this :) I did built all of this in 1.16.1 and it always got stuck at some time. The input line would somehow go straight after a few blocks and break the 1 redstone dust on it's way. At first i thought it was me being an idiot and i thought i messed something up. That's why i did build it a second time after not finding any issues and after it not working again i did build it a THIRD time. (1 of em was in survival btw) . After building it 3 times and struggling with it for plenty of hours i couldn't find the problem. Do you have any answers? Like the comment if u had the same issue. Thanks!

This design still works like a charm. EVERYBODY that has issues with stalagmites, blowing itself to pieces or whatnot: Double check your observers, TIMINGS and especially: Use VANILLA Minecraft Servers! Spigot, Bukkit and whatnot will BREAK the timings and redstone update orders. I reverted my Server back to vanilla and it works flawlessly now.

Wow dood u are amazing at red stone

Now that’s a lotta damage!

would love to see the 600 per tnt one soon

I don't see why you would want this WITH tnt duping, since it would be easier to just build something simpler wither a higher frequency of duping. However for people like me who don't like it, this is absolutely perfect. Using TNT for block breaking is now even more viable. Thanks

I am having an issue where the block feeding gets jammed every 3rd block because the regular piston is pushed out right at the moment the sticky piston tried to push and then the block gets pushed into redstone. Is there a fix?

I will add it to my new dirt spruce log farm

Was just looking for one for my tree farm

Built to the T in 1.16.3, made sure no observers activated when building yet i still have blocks covering the middle stopping the TNT and blowing up the machine. Help!

Anyone else having trouble getting the chamber to fill up properly? i am pretty sure i set it up correctly, and i don't know if it is just the weird lag i have been having or not.

I'm having this problem, every so often a block gets pushed into the space where the TNT should drop, any idea how to fix it?

Ive rebuilt the timers on the side multiple times but cant seem to fix the reoccuring problem of both sides getting out of synch and then the pistons push down at the wrong time leaving a block in the middle this farm turned into a 2 person farm on my server, 1 person to plant saplings 2 1 person standing over the middle watching. Could lag potentially be the problem here or am i just filling it in wrong?

What mod u use fot that blue tjing that sometimes come out when placing blocks?

Now the challenge is feeding it from three different systems smoothly enough to handle the Input speed

I hooked this up with my tree farm and my tree farm works and all but when it goes through the piston updaters, it goes to fast and breaks a piece of redstone which lets the blocks go a different direction and messes up with piston updaters. If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it

Hey mango,I just saw this video and built one for my own,but I got some issues.Later I found out it was a repeater which I had set it to the wrong delay,just wondering why the TNT power is greater when it blows up right at the moment blocks being pushed out.

I downloaded the world and two out of three of the blast chambers ilmango made break. The only one that seems to work flawlessly is the one that he hooked up to the cobble generator and I can’t figure out why. For some reason the Redstone responsible for the piston pushers desynchronizes. Please help!

For anyone having issues with this blast chamber blocking itself up, or blowing itself up, me and a friend eventually figured out our issue was with Spigot. The Spigot plugin will change the way that some redstone updates work, and will break this farm. Ilmango plays on SciCraft which uses the Carpet plugin, so has not experienced this issue. Hope this helps

I have this weird issue where the blocks get stuck and the machine clogs up. The 0 tick observer at the end of the line just has a block in front of it and if I manually remove it, it works. If I manually place the last block, it works. If a piston pushes it to the observer it doesn't trigger the downwards facing pistons, keeping the blocks in place. The redstone line does activate and so do the horizontal pistons, just not those that clear the observer. Giving the top pistons a 1 tick delay seems to fix that issue

Just built this in 1.16.3 and its working perfectly. I'm using it with his ' 1.15/1.16 Universal Tree Farm'. (The tree farm might need target blocks in a few places, someone posted details on that in the comments for that video) I did have a hard time building this. Getting a center block and blowing itself up, stalactite/icicle things coming down in the corners, blocks going where they shouldn't, jamming. I had to keep making backups and restoring over and over. I did troubleshooting by downloading the world for this and just going back and forth between that one and my world to try and perfectly copy the state of the machine before it starts. Eventually after pouring over every block I found a backwards observer in one of the binary counter thingys. Pretty stupid mistake but all it takes is one little thing for catastrophic failure. It's actually working now. Both sides are synchronized with eachother and its doing what it's supposed to do. No gravel, no changed timings, just built the way it is. It's probably also important not to feed blocks any faster than 4 game ticks, which can happen if you accidentally double click while feeding it by hand. The tree farm always sends 1 block per 4 ticks so that works. I spent way too much time on this, just had to write this in case anyone else is having trouble like I did.

What are the resource/datapacks you use ?

Ive noticed that this design a block will eventually be pushed to the center and then the machine explodes, Ive tried adjusting timings Ive pasted teh exact schematic into the world and no matter what it either pushes the block into the center or the input stream breaks some redstone

Pretty cool contraption! Is there a way to use a stone generator instead of a coblestone one? (I play in a server where blowing up stone give you in game currency, that's the reason i'm asking :3 )

Hello, I'm in 1.16, and I have a problem on a server. When I feed in the blocks with the connectors showed from your old video, the blocks come in faster then the actual blast chamber can handle. Does anyone know why that is?

I HAVE A SOLUTION TO YOUR EXPLODING MACHINE! first question, and i know you've been asked this a thousand times already, but have you read ilmango's pinned comment? if not, go do so now and make those changes. next item on the list, ilmango made a lil oopsie doopsie during this tutorial. he misplaced a piston. this is what ilmango did in his tutorial: imgur.com/OA9G1Hm this is what it is supposed to look like: imgur.com/Lb93Vxr go make that change on BOTH sides of the farm. this fixed the farm for me; however, sometimes i would have it jam and redstone would break. i fixed this by changing these two observer-piston set ups: imgur.com/rVTVFP7 imgur.com/wGFrIuv to this 0-tick set up: imgur.com/m0kdHv9 imgur.com/uNtsQML i am in no way an expert in redstone. i just starting fiddling around with it and it started working. go ahead and ask if you have any questions, but no guarantee that i can help. hopefully someone much smarter than me can help out if you need it. good luck gamers!

I made this tnt blast chamber connected to my wood farm, but I have only 1 issue with the blast chamber, when the logs are being pushed to the center of it, a log is placed in the middle, jamming my TNT and causing it to explode, so I have to fix it every time. I am sure I have done all in the correct way, and I have also tried some things that I have found in the comments, but it still blowing up :(. Does anyone know how to prevent my blast chamber to get jam?

What is the sticky piston hooked up to in the tnt duper method? my TNT duper isn't firing when I use my one

Does this work on realms because I tried to build it and it didn’t work. I tripple checked the red stone and still didn’t work. The concrete will go over the red stone and delete it. Also there seems to be a block that goes in to the center and the tnt blows up the machine. Any ideas on how to fix?

Probably a obvious stupid question but how exactly do I turn this thing on? I’m testing it first in creative before building it in survival

I was wondering if a direct creeper explosion based farm could not be more effective. (you could ignite them with a skeleton for instance)

Just watched there after fWhip and MysticalSausage's started their vanilla 1.15 skyblock series. heh. (Can't imagine them building this)

Sometimes the bottom sticky piston in the block input doesn’t always push I’m not sure if it’s server lag

@ilmango Shouldn't the circuit at 16:47 have an updater piston on the block above and below?

I seem to be having a problem. The first pistons at the beginning of the blast chamber cannot keep up with the amount of blocks going into it. How can I fix? Edit: I just changed the sand repeater timings: lower by 2 ticks. And then I double checked the Redstone torches.

I’ve seen a few videos for infinite walkway builders, but they are only three wide and slow down with every block they place, so have you ever considered building a flying cobble generator that builds a floor, for a sky block or something? If it just produced a flat world layer of cobble, that would be super useful

for anyone else having problem with it not working and it pushing wrong, check the top obserbers above the pistons that change the position of the sides, also the position of the observer underneeth thats controlling the switching of them.after that make sure the side pistons match the order in the video or the download file. piston sync of the back 4 pistons should be : 0010 - 1110 - 0000 - 0010. where 1 means retracted.i belive its due to the placing mod where he can Place the observers upsidedown without having the pistons underneth update and move the pistons around.after 2 Days i finaly got mine to work.

why one of the 0 tick generators (the sand part) dont work in one site???? the pistons does not extends but the repeaters yes, any suggestions?

building this in 20w20b ive checked, re-checked, and double checked everything and made sure it was correct. Its failing is a whole bunch of different ways, it keeps getting jammed, pushing blocks where they arent suposed to be, observers not triggering ect... granted i know its a snapshot, but maybe they did a subtle redstone change for 1.16?

The upwards modules to connect a block stream to the blast chamber don't work anymore. Could you show us a working alternative?

Is it possible to build this without the 0tock piston? I'm playing on a server where you cannot use 0tick but I do not feel experienced enough to see if I can fix the timings my self

Nice

In 1.19 the blash chamber produce just 60-80 blocks per tnt, i check the lightmatic two times. :)

For those of you having issues with this on servers in the 1.16 snapshots, I have a fix that seems to be working although hasn't been thoroughly tested to ilmango's scale. I was having issues with the hole for the tnt getting blocks pushed into it, as well as having descending pillars outside of blast radius on the two back corners. Among other faults that occurred I built this correctly (including the starting blocks in the right place) 3 times with three failures. It seems shortening the delay coming off the zero tick sticky pistons that move the two blocks of sand fixes it. There is normally 4 repeaters on full tick delay with the 5th repeater being on 3 ticks, followed by a 1 tick repeater. Change the 5th repeater to a 1 tick (default state) delay and it should work. It did for me. See this picture: imgur.com/9ZkSB15 Let me know if this fix works for you!

is there an alternative for the observer sand contraption? im playing on realms and it keeps jamming for some reason

wow over 99% efficiency

hey, i like the cobble gen, is there a tutorial for that?

will you ever make a tutorial for the 2x2 spruce tree farm?

Mine worked fine with basalt/cobble gen. And then it flew itself up when i attached the simple woodfarm to it. Dont know why tho

I tried making a high yield per tnt chamber a few months ago, but never got it fully functional, though I think the concept was valid. I was going for ~575 blocks rather then the possible 600 suggested here, likely because of suboptimal tnt explosion placement on my part? General idea was to always have the top pistons push down 11 blocks, and then prevent the twelfth from moving with an extended upwards facing piston at the bottom, which would then be retracted, allowing the final push timed with the tnt. This allowed basically a full cube of up to 12x12x12 moving blocks around the exploding tnt (apart from one line of 6 blocks either above or below the tnt detonation point, where the tnt itself entered the cube). As a perfect cube is formed before the next tnt arrives, items were not going to be collected at the bottom but at the top with hopper minecarts on rails, using the item elevator effect . Top pistons were powered by a sheet of upwards observers under the rails, and briefly flicking the rails on/off. To keep the speed comparable to smaller chambers I was detecting the pistons pushing the blocks hitting the push limit to detect when the cube had been filled. However, at this point I got stumped, as the backed up block streams did not play nice in restarting, obviously. I couldnt find a way to detect the cube filling before the streams backed up, and wasn't able to design fast enough block streams that could keep up that weren't just pistons powered every 4th tick by a global clock. Wasn't fond of the idea of slowing them down, as this would make the chamber require a different version of every other farm I have. At that point I lost interest, as this kind of chamber is only really useful if you are using un-duped tnt, and it is always more efficient to dupe tnt while the bug/feature exists, as there is still no legitimate way to farm sand :( Edit: sorry for that essay everyone, this video just mad me feel sad at my failure again :)
