I'm no Redstone novice, but I still learned at least 4 useful Redstone tricks watching Ilmango build that farm.

I like this approach of building it with us rather than just a showcase!

I'm amazed how quickly he can figure out how to combine all the aspects required for something like this. Truly a master

I also like this approach of building instead of showcasing as it also teaches us building techniques like zero ticking a piston with a button or using and observer with gravity block to trigger pistons once, with 2 block updates

I've never seen/thought about the honey block double piston extender design before, yet I've made so many flying machines over the last few years. Haha

ilmango using sculk blocks, pistons, honey, note blocks and complicated redstone to turn chickens into xp: me who does it with a wooden sword: 😎

I love the minimal editing and flow of consciousness building, best vid in a while

wow, all of this is impresive. the chicken farm, the noteblock-detector, the 30-tick-clock with scafolding, the simple double piston extender, piston wall.... ... thank you for the video! :)

Sweet. Time laps of the farm working would have been nice though ;P

I really loved watching you come up with the system live rather than showing a pre-made contraption and explaining it! Thank you!

Community: Ilmango, a random chicken farm video amidst all this Skulk hype you're generating? Totally random.. Ilmango: **Glint from sunglasses**.... **smirks**

I love that you used scaffoldings change states to trigger an observer. Mind blown.

Seeing the though proces, not only the build, makes me apreciate even more your talent and knoledge. I also feel that I've learned more.

i used to do red stone stuff around 1.8, and i’m so shocked by the different methods to do things that exist now. when you said “double piston extender” i was like *alright here we go* and that was literally it. this is awesome

Very interesting to see the thought process behind your farms. Would love more videos of you designing things like this!

I love these types of videos. I learned so many little things, for example, that new easy horizontal double piston extender. I was still using an outdated version.

When sculk was introduced I thought "man, I'm really looking forward to what ilmango is going to do with that" Boy, you truly are a minecraft God! 😳👍👍👍

i love the 'live building' aspect of this video, i learnt quite a lot just by the way you put things together, keep up what your doing bro, your one of the many people who are furthering our minecraft technology

That's a really nice concept! Could you modify it in such a way so that the chicken doesn't get cooked? Maybe use wither roses? I don't know about others but I think cooked chicken is a good food, and steak/porkchop or golden carrots are definitely better. If the chicken can be collected raw, then I can at least sell them to Butcher villagers and get a bunch of emeralds. Loved the video though! Keep going on with your amazing innovations!❤️

This was so cool! I love seeing technical and proof of concept videos like this. Thanks for sharing!

Loved how you showed the process of designing that 30 ticks clock, thanl you so much!

Currently on 1.19 the way the chicken farm is built here it won't spread the sculk. The chicken needs to die either on top or right next to a sculk block to generate a charge. I reccommend moving the hopper where the baby chicken get dispensed below the lava cauldron behind and down so the hopper is on level with the sculk block. That fixed it for me.

Loved to watch you do the farm. Learned some cool tricks

i was not expecting a tutorial, but that was easy to follow xD im dumb with redstone

I've watched this video nearly fifty times going over what I'm obviously too dull to get the first ten, but I appreciate it. I'm learning a lot, and trying to work through the lack of parity between Java and bedrock, like the cauldron not working as a kill block. I figured the sculk block can be used on the side, so that I can use a half slab and campfire for the kill mechanism, but other than that I'm trying out most of this in my build. Thanks, ilmango

I love the whole design process! More like this.

I've watched Mumbo to learn how to make redstone contraptions and I still learned quite a bit from you. Those tick calculations made you look like a wizard. Very nice.

Seeing your thought process and how solve problems is very helpful and interesting. Thanks.

I like watching you think about the problem. That alone is super helpful/reinforcing for building my own intuition.

I like that you show all your thought process in the vid, keep doing it :p

I couldn't power the second piston of the double extender by placing it over the slime block, due to lack of quasi connectivity, so placed the observer above the piston and cupped it with slime blocks. Then i ran into the gravity block causing a feedback loop with the piston which fired like a clock, so i joined the circuits with one observer and two repeaters set to 1 and 3 tick delays. When it came time to move the first line, the observer piston feedback loop came up again, so i used a line of sticky pistons to pull them back before pushing them up. Now i hope note blocks aren't broken for powering the piston wall... I'm using a wool enclosed calibrated sculk sensor below the kill chamber at 15 signal strength to trigger the stone generator. Thanks for giving me a good start!

Nice! And a 12x12x12 is enough to mend a fully broken netherite pick or get to level 30 for an enchantment, very practical!

nice job on the skulk resovoir, imma have to yoink that design for an upcoming project

It's amazing to see your process.

if you made more videos where you show your thought process like this i would love it. learned so much!!

My favorite Ilmango videos are the ones where he makes the farms live. I learn so much about redstone

i learnt a lot of new redstone techniques. thanks!

this is an amazing idea

wow. That double piston extender is so much more elegant and simple than the methods I've used in the past

The ability and understanding on display here is impressive! My current personal redstone ability would be best described as “google copy pray” haha

Looks like a fun build.

i might have to try this unless you have a farm design that can produce all the farmable sculk blocks with a smaller footprint lol doesnt even have to have crazy rates but i think alot of us not so good redstoners would love a semi simple design for single player survival worlds :)

Every new update now adds more effective ways to make redstone circuits and ilmango is using every single bit of it, I can see that he is truly a redstone master. Who would have thought that you can make tiny circuit to work using observer, scaffolding, rail and trapdoor. Also I remember when some guys tried this ridiculous technique named zero tick piston and everyone thought that it's nice concept but has no use. Now I see it in almost every farm or contraption. This game grew up from simple game for kids to visually entertaining engineering environment and I'm so glad it did. Great video ilmango, loved it

If I understand correctly, instead of the double piston extender to create the gap between stone and skulk you could use the linear push limit extender type thingies seen in your "expandable block storage 1.16" video to move it on in a straight line. It might briefly create an alternate path for the skulk charge, I'm not sure. But at these speeds i think it'd be fine. Not very important, just a thought. It might look neater

Now you need a way to move the storage into a stream of blocks to the player so you can AFK harvest

I've gotta say, your intro never gets old.

One of, if not the best, critical Minecraft thinkers -- bravo on your technique sir.

cool challenge and build.

I have a large chicken crusher farm I use for a quick burst of xp when I need it. Sweeping edge sword strike and I get a bunch of levels and a lot of chicken. Then the eggs make more chickens.

Using scaffolding as part of a redstone clock. Genious

Minecraft development team: adds a new feature. Redstone community: "Here is how to farm a new feature".

That got a bit more complicated than I was expecting, but fun!

Thats a awesome XP Bank. Much better than getting XP bottles for mobile XP and marketable XP

This is kind of the way MumboJumbo makes his videos, and it's certainly interesting seeing your creative process!

he could have been a rocket scientist but instead he chose to record youtube videos for us plebs. good guy ilmango

You are the best minecraftKZfaqr You are simply briliant

Actually mind blown by that note block detector

Ilmango is an absolute genius

This video is me trying to solve a rubix cube besides....ilmango knows what he's doing lol

Very good video! I definitely did learn a lot! 11:20 Why did you make a turn in the block stream, before pushing them up?

Could you push the block away with a fence (or something else that can't have a vein on them) on a sticky piston rather than a double piston extender?

Damnit. I thought this up months ago but waited until 1.19 official to do it and now I find he's done it already.

ilmango's on a wither and sculk roll

When it gets full, the double piston extender may break the farm.

i could listen to that intro for hours

I have had problems with monostables with gravity blocks breaking because the gravity block disappeared is it something I should consider for this type of block belt ?

A driving factor that motivates players to build farms is convenience. In this case, I think it's way easier to just build an xp farm instead. As for storable xp, I think it's way easier to make a villager setup that trades you bottles of enchanting.

more videos like this please!!!

I wonder a good way to chain multiple of these chicken farms together without the possibility of interference. Need to learn more about piston push chains....

I love your intro

ironically for quite a while my early game xp source has been spamming chickens with seeds. It actually works quite well

Could we see a skulk hoglin farm? It's a great example of a farm that you probably need to have, and ordinarily doesn't give XP. Thoughts? I think it would be very useful.

Normally Mumbo is the one doing redstone live. Now we know you can as well.

when the warden spawns from your chicken farm lol

I wanna see a skulk farm using that ghast based witch spawner.

Nice contraption! But I have a question though: Is this even worth it as an xp farm? I mean, is it faster to get the xp from this block than from an ender ender or some other similar (and easier and cheaper to build) farm?

Is there a way to make a semi flying machine that makes the block as tall as needed? Like once it reaches a certain height, it gest pushed up like 100 blocks and then goes back down? Cause if you want a big backlog of it, you could make like 3 more sets of chicken farms and connect them all to the same block and just make it 4x as big and then basically 10x as tall. Idk, sounds good to me. Plus like if they're all at the top, you could make the top of it right next to your enchanter and such. Like say you want to deck out all of your villagers in traded for diamond armor with thorns cause you're sick of these mfin mobs killing your villagers. Not at all a personal issue. Gonna be making a new world that I plan to stick with for a few years once this update is officially released, so yeah lol.

When Ilmango's Let's play series?

Would it be useful for mining down. Having a chicken and tnt drop at the same time. The chicken dies converts the blocks to sculk.

I not seen the point in any sculk farm so far. Like whats the point in storing it if your afk in the first place but this is brilliant to throw in a chunk loader/ spawn chunks for xp without a player online! thanks

Are you planning on doing a video on the allay or are you waiting for it to come to java? I'm currently in bedrock but the controls are a pain

I wonder if it would be easier to make a stone bank, and then convert the bank....Like I wonder if it spread both vertically and horizontal at the same time

You are the best

Finally, mob xp farm for peaceful mode!

Find it interesting when you show us how to build it:)

when is the next 4 by 4 chunk challenge gonna come out? no rush of course just wondering

Why do you need the baby chickens to grow up? if you kill a baby chicken next to the skulk block you equally generate 3 skulk blocks, or was that fixed?

Can I place the chicken farm right next to the stone generator so that the piston can push the skulk block over the chicken farm? Then I might not need the double piston extender.

This is awesome! I'd love to have this just passively creating and storing xp for me close to my villager trading/ enchanting setup. I suppose I could just buy bottles of enchanting, but why do that when you can build a farm to get the xp for free?

Idk what will come next, but I imagine it'll involve chickens...🤔

Hi! I am somewhat new to redstone. What does using gravity blocks in circuits do?

I wish Mojang would have made it possible to take 8 sculk blocks and a empty bottle to make a bottle o' enchanted.

So this is why he made the chicken farm

nice

How so you one shot kill the mobs? Is this a vanilla feature I missed or a datapack or smth?

Storable xp is a thing now.

food for yourself and food for your mending equipment

i would love to see a tutorial for how to build the automatic ancient debris miner!

He missed the opportunity to have a tnt dupe so that it also automatically broke the blocks for you, making it completely afk

I noticed the baby chicken converted blocks to sculk when it died as well, does this mean it's possible to kill baby chickens immediately instead of waiting for them to grow up?
