Minecraft's Next Evolution of Automatic Perimeter Design

Рет қаралды 322,452

Күн бұрын

Decorative builds in minecraft are always a tradeoff between detail and scale, well not anymore! In this video we introduce the Perimeter Printer, a machine capable of using a redstone computer to automate the process of building enormous but intricately detailed floors for perimeters. We will also cover how you can use an external program to convert a build from inside the game into the printer that can create it automatically.

Next step will be making a Penrose tiling with fully automated block placement. I hardly think this is a joke given how insane these projects are

@Nevir202 Жыл бұрын

I'd agree, if it weren't for the fact that i don't know how you could build a complicated enough computer in MC to handle non-repeating tiling.

@jjrubes1880 Жыл бұрын

I don't believe that a true penrose tiling would be reasonable to automate. Penrose tilings have 5 fold rotational symmetry it the machine would need to handle placing tiles at irrational angles which would be extremely difficult to calculate on the fly. It might be possible to use the margin of error given by aliasing tiles to be able to precompute all useful angles of tiles, but that is very likely to require a very large amount of storage space. It might be simpler to precompute the entire floor, but at that point it would be more effort than just placing it by hand. There are other tilings which are aperiodic which would be reasonable to automate though. Wang tiles for example. I have found a paper which describes tiles which only require 2 adjacent edges to determine which tile would fit, so given enough storage to hold the tiles for the top and left edges of the perimeter the machine could determine tile placements in rows placed left-to-right top-to-bottom. This would however require a significant increase in storage size and logic but I think it is within current tech, and the only reason that it might not be reasonable is that it might not save time over hand placing for small to medium perimeters.

It works by many observers going in an order like of this one just activated than this one can’t, allowing for many combinations and when one is rear, it brings at item and drops it off into a player with an empty slot so it will place it. Then, pistons move the blocks down as flying machines pull it across.

Distant Horizon is reallly awesome, I don't think I ever want to play without it again. But for showcases, Bobby lets you set your render distance to pretty much whatever your PC can handle without any LOD, so that also works great. Definetly will work for screenshots and I believe ReplayMod as well, when FPS don't matter.

Maybe I'll yoink some of this tech to and just focus on the block transport portion.

(maths) The mc printer prints at 3.33 blocks/s; blocks have a surface area of 1x1 meters; The printer thus prints at 3.33 m^2/s. The internet tells me an inkjet printer prints at 15 A4 pages per minute (i.e. area per time) which is then 1.58e-2 m^2/s. The laser printer number was at 100 A4 pager per minute.

It's certainly a powerful encoding system in theory, however in practice it's actually quite difficult to obtain large amounts of every music disc as you can only obtain about 10 of the discs renewable from creepers being shot by skeletons and the rest must be sourced from loot that generates in the world. It's just not very practical to setup in survival compared to just building a binary encoder out of blocks like observers and rails.

I was wondering just yesterday if you could build something very similar to this to build cactus farm towers completely afk. They're such a pain to build by hand. What would be the best block to use to fill the empty space? My best idea was that you could use nether brick fences and walls for the farm, and other non-flammable blocks for everything else, and use wood for the air blocks in the farm design. When it's done building, you could burn out all the wood, but I doubt it would be very consistent.
