When ur finished with this interesting concept of the jumping minecarts, could you make an approach on how to make the 1.19 minecart unloaders usable for the nether?

You can use redstone torches on side of non movable block to activate the trapdoors. The mc will go through the torch.

I had spent some time after the last episode and tried around with the concept of having a flying machine below the farm to have the synchonized collection. But in short: No matter how you do it, you have so many item entities laying around while harvesting (Since they are not instantly picked up), that the whole concept feels useless in comparison to something like this. One thing that I thought aobut that might be quite useful though: When building these kind of farms and you actually use minecarts on rails for the item collection, wouldn't it often be better to not have them running in the same direction as the flying machines? If you have them perpendicular instead, you can launch the minecarts whenever the flying machines (The harvesters) have passed and might be able to achieve a somewhat synchronized collection. If you launch the flying machines with an offset, you can adjust for the travel speed of the minecarts as well

would be interesting to see the modifications needed to make it feasible in the nether as well (since you can't have bubble elevators). i guess you'd have to have some well-timed pistons to launch the minecarts up

You can have flow water over the stalks. The water will prevent the bamboo from growing. The water will not flow through the stalks, so it is no collection method for fallen items, but it can prevent items from falling to the ground behind the harvester.

Your videos bring me a great deal of peace even without understanding the full extent of redstone. I just enjoy watching all the innovations you constantly strive to make and, on behalf of the Minecraft community, I thank you for your efforts

Such a treat of a design! Would have loved to see the switching blade concept as well but hey i know how long this all take to make ^^ Thank you for sharing your findings once again Mango!

Another benefit is watching the jumping minecarts is so satisfying 👍🏼

This is what makes people get into technical Minecraft. Super cool videos past few days

This is just so impressive. I always look forward to your videos. Amazing content!

I love when the fun approach happens to be the most efficient.

i still think my idea would be feasible as well: sequential harvester: - bambo on mud "10x10 block" that grows 15 high (or which hight/cycle time/width combination would be best). - send the minecarts out once, from a dispenser setup towards a instant unloader setup. each module is timed in a way that: machine 1 harvests -> once the items are sucked up -> machine two launches etc. when the last module harvests, the first module is grown to its max height. thus you have a small amount of items permanently, instead of a lot of items periodically. this would be nice to look at and to make it even more fancy, you can do that for smaller slices (as small as you can make the flying machines) and have them harvests in set intervals (to generate wave form patterns). edit: finally had the time to finish this video: the difference would be, that my version would not launch the harvesters all at the same time and would stretch the lag out a little, but i dont think it will make that much of a difference when were at just 5MSPT at load und 2,X ad idle...

I didn’t think I’d like this series as much as I have. It’s quite addicting seeing how iconic massive contraptions are made.

I've been looking for a bamboo farm to fuel a 64x furnace array that I have hooked up to a sand duper and this by far looks the most promising!

A true hopper clock, using hoppers!

cant u have 2 rows of 12 trapdoors and push and pull each row once the flying machine gets to the end? i.e. once the flying machine reaches the end, instead of moving around the initial trapdoors, just store a new set of trapdoors that you can simply push down and then resend off the flying machine

of course this is worth it to build, its a treat watching work.

jesus dude... I love your contraptions. I also love your accent. Thanks for the top notch content!

The farm is near perfect, but can it be simplified by adding bamboo-less lanes for the flying machine? Then it wouldn't matter if the flying machines push or pull the scythes, and you wouldn't need a contraption for them to switch the side.

imagine the fun you could have if you had the knowledge of this game more than most of the devs like ilmango, this games mechanics are what have kept me around for so many years

I have this in a redstone testing world and it works perfectly, built it on a server the minecarts never line up no matter the timing. Sucks for sure, as this is great with the new wood from bamboo

This is truly amazing!

"... enough bamboo to power 100 Furnaces, so this would be a medium Furnace array." Ahhh yes. I would be ashamed if I had a Furnace array with just 100 Furnaces.

For the farm shown at 1:20 you could maybe waterlog the rails making the minecarts slower

To reduce lag, what about staggering the harvesting blades (so they don’t all run at once)? That way bamboo can always be getting harvested while older sections are already fully grown. And since only so much is getting harvested at once, and only so many flying machines are moving at a time, I would assume it’s more lag friendly.

this is incredible great job, I´d love to have a tutorial for this I will definitly build it in survival

Wow... how little I know, so much to learn... Thanks!

great content and great explanations :D

In the Case of the two flying maschine Design you can eliminate most of the items lag. If you either Limit your farm to Just two hight Bamboo. Or construct 2block tale top sweeper. It is slighty less lagg efficent but also slighty simpler to bulid.

You could stagger the launching of the flying machines, so only a portion of them are moving at any given time. This would be easy efficiency to gain for the server.

what a freaking genius ❤

would raising the trailing blade as the harvester crosses work for this? I think it might be simpler as you could probably keep most of the original design and might even be able to use the same set of pistons to both lower the arriving blade and raise the departing one

13:08 "the minecarts will be launched" Dude I watched this like 10 times. And I'm going back for slow mo. The nonchalance with which you say that 😂

I like the literal hopper clock.

Basically perfect solution I do wonder if there's an easier fix on the minecarts being pushed too far forward on the blades at the end tho. Good work regardless

Genius!

Instead of moving the blade up out of the way, maybe moving the flying machine up and then back down would be easier. An alternate idea is just to have the blades come out of the sides of the flying machines and no bamboo in the lanes with the machines. Less space efficient by a bit, but tons simpler

This is ridiculous.

in the second design at 1:30 if you water log the railway and put (powered raid, 2 normal, powered rail) I guess it will work

What about leaving a blade at each end? And swapping the blade in use when it gets to the end?

Would having a second set of hopper minecarts under the areas where the last few items are left be worth it? Fewer items on the ground but more redstone happening.

Now I wonder if mango would come out with this kind of farm for kelp

Suggestion: put the flying machine on top of the blade; it will work for 2 high bamboo, any higher then just stop the blades and let the flying machine fly forward so when it comes back it’ll pick up the blades along the way; love your videos, it’s very inspiring

Pls make a video showing the scicraft ice farm with the world download

what if you just pushed the flying machine up a few blocks before you sent it back, so that it's not hitting anything on the way back, then push it back down into position on the other side, so it only ever breaks the bamboo going in the one direction?

Can you make a small version of this farm. It is humongous for my hardcore world

I had an idea like multiple layer bamboo farm with flying machines but flying machine will not pick its layer. Instead it will be collecting the upper layer. Like 4 wide layers dirt/bamboo/slime or honey/minecart with hopper so slime or honey won't stick to dirt. Hope you understand. I want to see you making farm like this Ilmango.

Nice! Keep up the good work Mango!

Ilmango stopping the rise of the MSPT one video at a time. Making our future lag friendly, efficient and fast!

Could you make one that lifts the back side up a block, then reverses it when it changes directions?

Idk if anyone else suggested the dual blade design but i.k i did so thanks for considering my idea

Such a fun farm! Maybe connect a furnace array up to it next? 🤔

i know this is an old video but i would love to see how you construct the Redstone part as someone who is not good with it i'd love to see how its done

Self building redstone. 👏

Every time i see one of your videos my immediate thought is "what magical fuckery has this genious cooked up today"

This is the pinnacle of overengineering and i love it

So to be clear, our server is on 1.18.2 and its only 1.19+?

8:51 for reference to improved unloader.

Bamboo requires light to grow... so you could make the ceiling solid blocks with redstone lamps. Turn the lamps off while collecting so you get no wasted items and back on to grow.

Well what if you have 2 harvesting arms on top? One which will harvest the bulk of it, then some bamboo will grow but probably very few will grow more than 1 block, so the 2nd set of arms would swipe of all of the items and harvest mostly 2 high block bamboo which would always fall down. Then you have the flying machine on the bottom, only problem i see is that it would take longer to collect all the items, which means they'd lag more while they're entities

Why do you pull the “head” of the flying machine up only to power the trapdoors when you could pull it down just once and the minecart will snap to the rails? This would use less resources and cause less lag.

I would kinda like to see a minecart version of this where you send a bunch of carts out on same track at the same time. The carts can either just be quick unloaded on the other side or a bunch(maybe all) of them could back on a single return rail. I'm sure it will reduce the amount of bamboo entities much faster, but I dont know if the increase in minecarts makes it not worth it

Is there a reason you gotta harvest in both directions? Could the blade move across, go below farm, return back to base, ride up for next harvest? Maybe just as complicated as alternatives

hi i have a littel problem with this farm every time the flying machine returns to its start position every 8. mincart get stuckt on top of the ametyst

9:40 could someone explain exactly why it is that the redstone torch doesn't power the piston? Do pistons just not accept indirect power from blocks on the side, or is there something more technical going on that stops this from just extending the piston and either keeping it extended or making a clock?

ilmango!

du solltest für die Flugmaschinen Extensions verwenden, die machen es viel kompakter und verringern auch das problem mit bambus der zwischen den Pistons wächst

Wouldn’t it be easier to move the roof and the flying machine mechanism up a level and centered over the blades? You’d still have the shorter blades, but you’d avoid the whole swap blades and mechanism problem with them being on the same y level. I feel like that layout would even simplify the flying mechanism as it would be dragging, not pushing the blades. Maybe the pushing is important?

I dread the day they fix carpet duping, and force us to go through such a labyrinthian design to get fuel. They should just let us burn moss.

Neat. If it was made longer than it is wide, could it be double stacked in a plus pattern? An east-west farm stacked on a north-south farm.

This farm is great, especially for 1.20 where bamboo is really useful. However i'm facing a weird issue since a few days. Recently the farm broke on me due to a server crash, no big deal, just rebuild the flying machines, but ever since i did that some minecarts get pushed too far to the edge of the trapdoor when reaching the east end of the farm. Its always the same ones that do that, the ones attached to the one slimeblock right in front of the flying machine. Basically when they reach the east end, those minecarts continue moving to the edge of the trapdoor before being pulled up which than leads to the minecarts dropping onto the amethyst bud instead of the rail next to it and thus not being broken. I have no idea why this happens, i have verified that the schematic is correct multiple times, but they keep doing that. Update: I found the mistake, it was caused by a missing comparator next to the droppers that activate the piston line which is meant to stop these exact minecarts

So it's 100 wide, and you can supply 100 furnaces? Sounds like you could build the furnace array right there below or above it, and it would average enough bamboo while you are there to run the furnaces.

why switch the side of the blade? have a blade attach and one detach at each side

If lag from the dropped items is the main problem would it be worth having a mechanism that moves the player out of range for a couple of seconds so the items despawn?

you could get rid of the last few items on the ground by having the engine one block higher, this way, only bamboos that would grow twice in between the retraction and extension of the engine pistons would break and end up on the floor. I'm sure you could even make the engine overlap with the slime / honey lines, so the pistons extending would extend over the trapdoors, and wouldn't risk the bamboos growing there. Also, wouldn't having the redstone blocks powering the trapdoors coming from the side instead of from above make the wiring a bit easier? It might require reworking the flying machine engine a little, idk, but if you have it above the machines, you don't necesserly need to move the engine around the machines

i wonder if it works in 1.18, as the server i play on still has not updated

What if you covered the entire farm in non-transparent blocks, then used redstone lamps to turn off the light around the flying machine so that the bamboo can't grow? Would the light updates cause too much lag to be worth it?

Couldn't you avoid the QC issue by pulling down the sweeper arm instead of pulling it up?

nice

Hey, can you do a frog light farm next?

Can you use something else than mud?

Another idea: How about making the flying machine wider so that there are no air blocks between the front and back sweepers - that way there is no space for the bamboo to grow as it sweeps edit: nevermind I finished the video and your solution is way cooler! :D

This is the kind of farm i'd use my golems for. IF I HAD MY THAUMCRAFT GOLEMS ON CURRENT VERSION

Notification squad

Next is this concept, but for kelp 😂

can u make this design but for 1.18?

Does ilmango not stream on twitch anymore?

If you send a flying machine under you don’t have to use trapdoors to break the bamboo there might be a block that will cause the bamboo to behave predictably

So to be clear, our server is on 1.18.2 and this farm will not work on the server? Edit nvm it needs mud

It’s just an idea, but what about a flying machine with two slime bamboo breaker one in front and one behind to knock down the bamboo that lands on top of other bamboos and another flying machine beneath slightly behind the top one that picks up the bamboo?

any new version of this farm?

Is there anything important I should do in 1.18 before updating?

i like the trapdoor pushing mechanism more personally, its complicated in a neat way and I Feel like it would be cool to watch

Seems like the issue with the second farm is fixed by the first farm having a back that is pushing the items off the top of the bamboo stalks immediately. Have you thought about an Omni directional design that uses hopper-carts on back and front at the same time?

damn, didn't know bamboo can land on bamboo xD

Idk what gnembon does at mojang but i like to think he got them to make the hopper minecart change

Wouldnt you get problems with a 200 long farm that the minecarts would fill up, if you try to fit 2x200 items into 5x64 slots per row?

ilmangoose

11:45 the working farm

Having a flying machine that flies at half speed would solve a lot of issues since it would give more time for the minecart hoppers to collect. Only issue is if the bamboo grows quick enough to impede the flying machine..
