I also absolutely love the skyblock series, but this is such a nice project! And i think mango loves working with the scycraft people. What a content machine has he been lately. I hope he enjoys this as much as we are. Don't feel pressured to keep this pace up, but i'll enjoy it whilst you do!

ilmango 2018: “So in this episode we will be digging out our 500x500 witch farm perimeter and then I’ll go ahead and make an ender pearl cannon to instantly teleport 8000 blocks” ilmango 2022: D o n k e y

i like how for the nano farm light source they could have used glowstone but they used a beacon lol

“So, I’m gonna bring some necessities…” _shows multiple stacks of gold blocks_ This is why we love Ilmango

Love him having to force himself to not real time design a beetroot farm

It's been amazing watching Mango grow from ~200k a couple years ago to the nearly 1M he's at today. He deserves it more than anyone

My friends: ¿Why would you keep on playing your Minecraft world? You already killed the dragon! Mango: 2 million cacti per hour is *not enough*

2:14 Ilmango casually lost almost 900 xp levels

I love how mango cuts out killing few donkeys, but making actual machines for separating baby villagers and storing them for Redstone in one block is fine.

For automatic taming: Force eject by dispensing water on your head. Use an AFK waterstream to drop u onto the next donkey, if you fall through the entity it won't matter where you are facing. Just an idea*

31:57 you could try putting fences underneath the last water block so the donkeys get pushed up into the new stream

About mounting the donkeys: maybe you could design it in a way where if you mount it, they are in water so you will be kicked off the donkey (the only way I know how to remove the player from donkey)

Ilmango, you could give donkeys some riders to prevent mounting.

If someone is riding it then you can't mount it. Could also use a bot/auto clicker that clicks once every 5 minutes so no need for timing red stone or rails or anything. And while the bot is doing that you could be working on the taming and stuff.

You can use the iron trap door to prevent the player from mounting or giving the donkey more than one carrot. The system would only automatically open and close the iron trapdoor with the correct timing. thx for this video 🙂

Absolutely love these types of farms - ones that are made just for fun, but still serve a small purpose!

To automating the feeding: the bred donkey child could trigger a tripwire, which triggers a piston to shove a block between the player and the donkey so that the player just right-click spams the block. A clock could then retract after the breeding cooldown has expired. You can make multiple modules next to each other and seat the player into a minecart for full automation. Maybe dispensers on the ends of the rails for restocking the inventory?

this is such a cool series, keep up the great work

Thanks for all the awesome content you're great!

you know, it's amazing that you've played minecraft for so many years, and still are finding passion projects, I loved it :)

This project got me excited. I always assumed Donkeys were limited to lower stats than horses. Not getting horse armor doesn't matter too much, the only dangers are things like lava where the armor might buy you a little more time to save the mount.

There is an easy solution to your donkeys getting stuck: Just add fence under the last flowing water, so the donkey will be pushed up on top of the slab. Because this is just a comment, I will describe this in detail, because there may be another way of interpreting what I said. there is a block under the slab(crystal), to the left(against the water current) there is a solid block, replace it with a fence.

For feeding the donkeys, couldn’t you just piston a block between you and the donkey that is pulled away every time they could be fed and then be pushed back to prevent you from feeding them more?

"Drive by breeding" some times the things you say just crack me up

I have no idea how your channel is so entertaining to watch, but I'm loving it!

What about a sort of vertical design where the player drops in to the spot breeding is allowed and then trapdoors open and flush them back, up with bubbles, and over the zone again. A clock can control the timer that drops them in and then a piston pulses them to the side to tag the other donkey then the trapdoor opens. This could be stacked for multiple donkey levels and might not even need a timer except the very top section

"I need donkeys, I remember there is some by the washing machine"

@ilmango you know what'd be really cool? semi-automatic improved donkey breeder: Use the donkey/end portal based dupe trick to copy the best donkey and avoid breeding cooldown. Have the player just holding right click and forward and build a system around the player to detect for slight improvements in speed, swapping out the best donkey each time.

About the babies trying to get back to their parent! You can hide another donkey closer to the waterways so it paths to that one instead - they don't need line of sight to find them either!! If they still try to find the original parent, maybe a larger drop could work? I have bred 10000 horses in survival. My setup isn't quite as automatic and I am taking advantage of a client-side mod that tells you the speed of (un)tamed and even baby horses with a single click. I didn't go for a direct drop route with baby horses, but that seems to work with anvils. In my setup I have them standing on fences and the horse is surrounded in a 3x3 of fences. I then press a button to flush the baby horse away with water coming from above, as without it the baby horse and parent will stand inside each other. My personal fastest horse for now is around 13.47 m/s. Not getting a faster horse in 1000 breeding attempts is normal, I really dislike how Mojang made the breeding system :P Still have 1 m/s of improvement to go.

Could you hold another food item in your offhand such as wheat in order to save golden carrots?

Dude I was legit making an automated donkey breeder earlier today. This is awesome. On bedrock I was able to get both adult donkeys, even horses into one boat and breed them there too but I still think I like your set up more and might just switch over to it.

Might be able to take advantage of the riding mechanic when breading. Instead of the water stream moving the player, feed ride (which tp you +2blocks) then you get a golden carrot. While riding that first donkey you feed the next, then ride that one. Would theoretically be cheaper on carrots, but the modules would be more work

Making underwater rails sound so good rn

"We can already dispose of the donkeys that have only normal values. A bit unfortunate, but they won't help us anymore" lmao

niche projects that don't REALLY have a use are the best. On your scale, it's all niche projects that don't REALLY have a use for 99% of us anyway, and we're utterly fascinated

To gather metric tons of material for a mega build and then forget a crafting table, he's just like me fr

Sometimes, stupid projects are the funniest ones and most enjoyable!

*Donkey trying to get to parents after birth* ilmango: That's a weird bug :DDD

This is an amazing side quest you are doing, I hope to see a Redstone meat factory for the reject donkeys in next video

Breaking news: Tensions rise in Europe as a German scientist creates a huge eugenics lab to create "the perfect specimen".

Instead of viewing the problem as preventing the player from mounting the donkey, you could view it as dismounting the donkey. Having the donkey submerged in water dismounts the player (or just click out of the donkey if that is possible). Completely detection based, no timings needed. Speed shouldn't be a big issue with the 5 min delay. And to test for taming you should be able to dispense a saddle onto them, or detect the lack of their AI when ridden maybe (might only be with saddle idk).

Drive by Breeding, that's a combination of words I never heard before xD

Changes I want to make to ridable mobs so they’re not so useless: 1. Horses should have a small 9 slot inventory space and be ridable by 2 players. 2. Donkeys, mules and llamas should have one full chest worth of inventory space. 3. Camels should have a full double chest of inventory space since they’re so slow. If Mojang made these changes people might actually start using these mobs.

I've laughed way to hard at the un-stackableoverflow 😂

saddle farm one of the most unhelpful farms but shulkers full of saddles would be a beautiful sight. I mean think about it having a stuipid amount of saddles whenever you want, its perfect.

This video makes me happy. Just doing a project that won’t get you a bunch of resources cause you want to for fun

a solution to the donkey breeding mounting issue could be to have the clicking script only click once every few seconds, and maybe use pistons to move the player to the donkeys at the correct time. a slowed horizotnal piston bolt could work.

this is the best minecraft content made since the donkey introduction

For the breeding setup you could move the player with water and hold them in the middle while they are waiting to breed

when you are on scicraft: "well we used this beacon as a light source..."

this is awesome

I thought the title meant you made a machine that races donkeys like you light them on fire and first one to get to the water source breeds the next generation or something like that

You're my fav minecraft creator

Bamboo as fuel! 0:25

awesome episode.....the issue regarding the rails on scaffolding due to babies, would this have an effect on you're newest roller coaster gold farm, as i have built it and it keeps breaking after 3+(closer to 5 avg) hours of running perfectly? i did ask on sci disc already but no one did answer

Maybe you could dispense a golden carrot to bread the donkey, and then dispense a falling block ( so you cant mount by rightclicking ) and after a 5min delay, a block is pulled in your sight by a piston, it makes you place the falling block ( that falls and get destroyed by a torch ), then you get dispensed a carrot again to bread again

"ilmango has 900 xp levels" also ilmango: we need millions of xp

Is there a reason you dont use signs instead of the amethest in the water stream for the babies? Does too many signs cause lag? Or do they get water logged now?

"yeah about 36 stacks... in 2 mins" "seems pretty decent"

Ilmango, you should put walls or fences under the water streams, they push the donkeys up by half a block so they will get in the next stream easier

lovely!

If you’re already riding a donkey or some other mount, won’t that stop you from mounting a new one?

Just a item scroller tip: alt + left click moves all of an item into an inventory

Nice seing some survival gameplay on your channel.

the great leap forvard

I think the donkey breeding can be done by combining two previous setups We do the breeding part like in the afk panda sneeze slimeball farm and then let all the baby donkeys come to a single spot Then the storing part can be done like in the brown panda setup from the peaceful series

3:23 lmao the mapart

Ilmango: “I realized how much time I was wasting in the bathroom each day. So I developed this afk system using auto clicker…”

To stop mounting the donkey you could use bot accounts that ride the donkeys. I don't know if it might stop the breeding process, but worth a try I think!

Doesn't a fence/wall block under the tail end of a water stream help push up mobs floating over it? That might help the babies move into the holding cell better

11:38 Is it just me or does the moon look kinda sus?

What if the donkeys were on an oscillating water current? Like water flow pushed them past you in order, a single carrot was dispensed each time they crossed a string then the water current held them within breeding range of each other but past your reach and then after a cooldown timer the water current direction was reversed and then they passed again through a tripwire on the other side that dispensed a carrot? That way you’ll always have one or two extra carrots just in case the water current doesn’t move them fast enough, but it won’t be an egregious waste? Unsure how to sort out the babies from this set up tho

If you are already on a horse/donkey, you would not be able to mount the donkeys when spaming Gcarrots?

Did i miss understand the breeding machanic. You need to replace to AFK Donkeys? Having multiple is nice but should you not expand the afk Area with every new dokey and just keep breeding more and more?

Hey @ilmango what rendering mod are you using.

7:38 using a beacon as a light source xD just flexing

Could it be possible to put a fence in front of the amphistbud in the floor?

Would it be possible to go full bot mode and after automating the taming make a system where the donkeys are delivered to the starting line, there a bot is running a script that makes it mount the donkey and run a short race, where there is a timer, which if they are too slow drops both the bot and donkey into lava, and if not they dismount at the end leaving the donkey in a pen for manual review? As your standards climb, you can keep shortening the timer, meaning that you'll keep having fewer and fewer to look at...

you could instead have a timed iron trap door infront of the player as they spam golden carrots. open it for a bit with a clock to breed the donkeys and then close it to keep from wasting carrots.

Welcome to my new game show, "Niche Fetish or Technical Minecraft KZfaqr Quote?"! This episode is "Drive-By Breeding"!

Does oneyone have a link to a video where he goes on the shulker box loader design? All the one's I've tried are broken or don't work

when really technical minecrafters have a "passion project":

goats

Maybe put a block shield between the afk player holding right clock and the donkeys that opens once every 5 minutes? Might still waste a few but far less than permanently feeding would

Pretty sure next time the setup will have godly improvements with normal useless items. Bet he is going to say something like: it actually pretty simple all you need is a sea pickle magma block and some waterlogged fence...

Isn't already being mounted the simplest protection from mounting?

Beacons for lighting lmao

i think meteor client has auto breed but im not entirely sure how it works

wait if you already in minecart wouldn't it unable to right click mount a donkey?

how does your game renders so far? great video btw

where can i find a tutorial/download of that nano crop farm?

13:30 Wait, in java they don't grow progressly until they are normal size?

Mojang needs to dramatically buff ridable mob inventory space. There is no justifiable reason why a donkey shouldn’t carry just as much inventory or more than a player. That is, after all, the whole point of using animals to transport items in real life.

👀Level 900!!! Wow 😲

What if you make it so you can mount the donkey then from the donkey you enter a boat or a mine cart. So it would be like give player one carrot, feed donkey, mount donkey, enter mine cart ,loop back around, dispense carrot, track shifts to next donkey, feed donkey, enter next mine cart and repeat

Replicated that microfarm in my world, absolutely love it when I just need to make some target blocks. The villager-based auto farms are just too slow for me.

I thought you might go with boats on ice for the drive-by mechanism. Maybe you save a few carrots this way, or maybe it's too fast?

Can you use speed 2 potions to boost the speed? I’m pretty sure it works on bedrock but not sure about Java

Hey ilmango, if you dont mind could you make this into a playlist? It would just make it so much easier for everyone

Could you just have an iron trapdoor flip open for just long enough for a single feed to happen?
