Why not use slabs

Something that actually makes sense. Stonecutters as part of a stone cutting machine.

Gravel is literally cut stone

@@FireBee. stonecutters have a slightly different hitbox, not sure if it matters here

@@sphygo right!?

yeah and the minecraft dev the actual gods that invented all of this

@@doltonnoak2656 someday i want a minecraft dev to tour scicraft or another technical server and realize who the real gods of minecraft are

@@ovencake523 gnembon became a dev!

@@ovencake523 well, they created the rules so...

I think he is more an engineer than a scientist.

The world eater meets its greatest foe… gravel.

also not cobble gens (when run in the overworld, as he mentioned at the end)

I love how it's not invincible blocks that cause ilmanngo trouble, it's mojang not fixing bugs

gravel is too powerful

@@KiLLJoYKZfaq Imho, floating gravity blocks is/became a feature rather than a bug (it has it's own particle effects) & (while perhaps frustrating for old school players) brings more atmosphere and interest to mining, especially for the newer or more casual player.

I like that idea but you would have to be pretty rich if you are trying to make that in survival

@@kerryforyeshua7453 Honestly if you have the farms for it it would be easy to get the resources, the biggest problem is to spend the time building it!

@@kerryforyeshua7453 Most players who build tunnelbores have plenty of resources in their world or server

At least 5x laggier

This is probably the ultimate answer to the gravel problem

HAHAHAH GENIUS

At that point it's a whole world eater ha!

@@LunizIsGlacey yeah, it completely destroys the point of this machine... TO be fair all of this is proof of concept, as it only working in easy mode makes it quite limited.

yes, this exactly

It could have a better build effort ratio though.

The oceans are full of gravel though 😳

Well guess so Cuz if u look in the overworld u can find diamond which r hiden under the dirt or gravel Same goes for nether Sooo For. Me. Depends on luck Maybe itll be waste of time Or. It will be BEST BENGER N wat I guess wat it gonna b :) A ABSOLUTE MENACE Cheerrrssss......

if you automate the collection it will be worth it in almost every case

I think it depends on scale... for giant builds, consistency would be more important

If we assume that each block in layer L has a uniform probability of P(L) of spawning ancient debris, then the average debris production rate for mining one layer forward is W blocks wide is W*P(L). A bore that begins at layer L and goes down H layers will average W*(P(L) + P(L - 1) + P(L - 2) + ... + P(L - H)) ancient debris per block moved forward. If the moving-forward rate is R then the average debris rate D will be D = R*W*(P(L) + P(L - 1) + P(L - 2) + ... + P(L - H)) If new D is lower than the old D, the rate is lower. (Assuming I did the math right). Annoyingly, I can't actually find any of the numbers needed to work this out. The graph on the ancient debris wiki page makes me decently sure that the rate will be quite a bit higher, though.

Yes it will be worth it

I wouldn't say it's unusable. There's no shame in switching difficulty when you absolutely need to. This could be one of those cases! Just don't lock your difficulty. If you're in hardcore mode though then it's unusable.

bruh.. are u deaf

@@Jomity no you dont get what hes suggesting. yes making the machine tall enough from bedrock to the level where gravel no longer spawns eliminates the issue of gravel falling from above while also digging at levels where ancient debris spawns most often.

Would require a ton of withers but tbh it sounds really sick!

So... a world eater

@@derianvandalsen world eaters are usually tnt powered though, but to be fair, it would eat the world...

Lol

Well boring is its job doesn't mean it itself needs to be

@@nokorus6035 It's a joke/pun thingy.

@@kyler_smith ik mine was too

@@nokorus6035 Oh. Sorry then.

Then we need someone like docm77 to try this

nah if the gravel is at the level of the wither i think the wither would just destroy it right? the area the 4 withers destroy (the drill) is a continuous area. If theres gravel there the withers break it before it has a chance to fall so no gravel in line with the withers should fall

If it shows up in front the wither breaks it and the reason the top row is staggered is that it can't fall down.

yeah. I guess it needs a complete redesign

@@ilmango I don't know how you'd manage to gravel proof the entire top of the machine in the current development chain, the piston gaps seem impossible without either popping a piston up from the below before it pushes forward, or keeping the pistons extended until the tick before you need to push them forward, both of which would require stupid timing. I wouldn't be surprised if a complete redesign is exactly what you pursue

This is the part where Mojang turns into Mojangdon't

Would you like your Allay cooked or as a wither rose?

hope the allays are fire resistant and hope they add movable block entities

@@retributin2849 LMFO

@@ovencake523 with gnembon at mojang, we better be seeing movable block entities soon!

@@retributin2849 that made me laugh out loud!

Dispensers aren't moveable in Java

@@ingoseiler aw damn.

@@ingoseiler I play java and bedrock, both, but forgot about this

How do you propose you regulate it for multiple people on the server and make the machine reliable? 😅

@@KiLLJoYKZfaq reliability is coincidental. Effectivity and impracticality is priority 1

Ilmango stopped doing tutorials, because people kept re-uploading them.

True! You don't necessarily need a zero tick generator for each individual wither!

nice first comment

There is a version that removes end pillar, ask around technical servers for "end pillar eater"

I wonder if it's the slime moving the observers. I imagine the slime is at capacity but there might be some weird ticking going on that lets it still move.

No, the honey would just attach to the floor of the tunnel and immediately halt the machine. You can't have sticky blocks anywhere where the machine touches the wall/floors/ceiling

Or run a top bore with tnt dupe down to bottom bore idk of a nice way to deal with lava boring though. Awesome though

Once the allay gets added this will be a really epic quarry
