29:46 Even after obtaining illegal blocks, build insane machines in survival, and exploiting the game in every single way, the cobblestone generator is still truly the hardest thing to build.

the irony of building an incredibly complex machine to generate water in the nether, and then using it to fail to make a cobble generator, is not lost on me.

You know this feat is insane when it takes over 30 minutes to give a bare bones explanation of how it works

Very cool that the technology of using data corruption on blocks in 1.12 (and even pre-1.12) continued on despite the numerous updates since then. Congrats on this achievement. Super cool to see.

The whole thing with creating illegal blocks through specific "recipes" sounds like alchemy.

Props to JKM with the clear and simple explanation. Even without having any knowledge how minecraft is coded, I was still able to follow the logic. :)

About time Myren gets a new mic lmao, the guy is so knowledgeable and gives alot of good information, but i could barely hear him, had to turn on subtitles, haha. Also props to JKM, don't think you can explain the process or how it works any better than that considering how complicated the mechanics of it is.

The moment I heard “multithreading” I knew we were in for a wild ride.

It's a shame you can't use them outside of creative mode, I guess Mojang accounted for SciCraft magic

This is the most incredible crossover event in history. I loved the Inheritance saga and I read the whole stack of books in middle school. I have a deep appreciation for that story and when I heard ilmango say Christopher Paolini was on this tour, I had to doubt whether he meant the actual author. So cool to see him in a technical minecraft video, the fact that I share a passion with one of my favorite authors just made my whole day.

It's a shame Myron is so hard to understand. He seems very knowledgeable and was seemingly adding a lot to the conversation.

Just blows my mind that they hacked the game from inside three of four times over to create universal fast travel. The devs must be having nightmares over this group.

You know what. I'm not surprised. I'm convinced you can do literally anything in Minecraft. You actually know the game's code better than all Mojang, like, what is this

>”We’re gonna condense it down to about half an hour” >About an hour

this is so cool damn. the fact that you can so reliably corrupt certain pieces of block data in a certain way, with just survival mechanics, is mind boggling

Love the fact that illegal blocks have their own 'recipes'. Edit: Added quote marks :)

Wow I'm amazed that Christopher Paolini was on this tour, his book series is the whole inspiration for my name and I've kept this name for over a decade (and yes I know it's spelled wrong). I loved all of his books and my Minecraft skin is even Eragon, just amazing that he's there.

Next, we build a machine that would lag out the chat report system to report its self and left the game

"The server didn't crash, that's a weird result, but i'll accept it"

This is like a Minecraft research team, seeing how in depth this goes into the structure of the game itself

This is my favorite series and now we get a clear explanation for the falling block gimmick! TYSM!

so the way you get creative items in survival minecraft is *literally* alchemy. Transmute lava into water by adding some anvil while doing some ritual with a massive amounts of observers and beacons, then add something else to that while doing stuff with a piston and presto.

Next episode: alright guys we've figured out how to use falling blocks to insert commands into command blocks in survival, we are now op and able to access creative in survival

The reason the glass threading is because translucent objects require to be rendered 2x because of the way shaders are rendered things behind the object are rendered and then the second glass shader is applied

I highly recommend you all watch Myren Eario’s entire series on the falling block project. Despite the implication of this server tour explanation being the ‘simplified’ one, the explanation on Myrens channel is 1000 times simpler and more coherent than this one. There is a proper full script and it builds up each concept right from the most basic level of minecraft understanding, unlike the bombardment of specialised vocab in this video.

you guys might not have an idea of who elrich is! he might be the best (at least one of the best) vanilla MC players in the spanish community, which is hugeeee. there is a massive hispanic community you guys might not be aware of. and having elrichmc in scicraft is one of the best and unexpected collabs Ive seen in MC!

I love how scicraft put water in the nether…. And then failed to make a cobblestone generator

I really enjoyed this explanation. Kinda makes the other videos I’ve seen about the falling block exploit thingy make a tiny bit more sense. Who would have known this years ago. So glad there are individuals like you guys to dig this deep into the game we all love. Very well done!!!

They literally distort space and time to reach their goals 🤯

Bro when he said “this is the most advanced thing you can do in this game” I just laughed because legitimately this might be more advanced than coding and making the game itself

You know, I'm not even surprised at this point.

this is the nerdiest thing I've ever watched and I absolutely love it

Wow, you guys found and took advantage of a race condition. You're literally using expert-level cybersecurity techniques to get otherwise-inaccessible blocks in Minecraft.

i love how these guys are like 'so basically,' and then start speaking enchantment table

This ain't minecraft, this is a computer science lecture

This is simultaneously the coolest and most cursed thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Blockstate corrupting sounds like a completely new crafting system! This should actually be used in a mod or something

I knew it was gonna happen at some point. Madlads finnaly did it

I've been searching for this explaination ever since this series got rebooted. Thanks!!!

I feel like they could have explained this a lot faster and a little more structured, but this way it had a lot of SciCraft character ;D

Y'all have the biggest brains ever holy shiiii how do you figure this out is beyond me. I wonder what Mojang thinks of your exploits. Side note: I could barely understand what Myren was saying, idk if its his mic or something but I missed a lot of his galaxy brain explanations.

Thanks for the awesome content!! I know these longer videos take a massive amount of editing and time. I really appreciate it!!

props to the guys explaining. they did a very good job breaking done something as complex as this, even if they simplified it a lot.

I absolutely LOVE the servertour

My toxic trait is thinking I could do this too

Next we built a machine that can automatically record, edit, and upload our Minecraft videos by itself

Next video: accessing the creative menu in survival

why do I feel like their gonna figure out some way to corrupt/swap NBT data and get a command block and gm c's everyone?

As someone with an in-depth programming background in C, this actually makes lots of sense! Thanks so much for the explanation! :)

a tope rich, marcando territorio

Congratulations again to Mr. ElRichMC for being the first person to obtain bedrock in Survival Singleplayer. Man is a legend

remember guys, this was the *short* explanation

Holy moly, is that ElRichMc?

I knew it was possible. Hopefully this means in some way or another, pre programmed NBT command blocks are possible

So stoked for this crossover!! :D The Inheritance books were a series that majorly defined my childhood.

It's funny you brought ElRichMC, since he was able to do the same thing in his Survival Singleplayer not so long ago

After seeing the setup required in the stronghold for generating falling end portals, I'm convinced no one could put together a better group of people to solve these problems. Also major props for actually being able to present this in a way that's "easy" to understand, truly masters of Minecraft.

I saw Jkm's video on it, and new this was coming, great video ilmango, can't wait for more.

Literally playing god

Amazing project! What amazes me most is that most people in the world (or even in the Minecraft community) cannot begin to understand to what extent this project is intricate, delicate and complex. This is real science and engineering happening in a game. There are not many "real-world" projects that have this level of intricacy. Scicraft is a poem.

Mortal minds: "The universe is so mysterious. How could god make something out of nothing?" SciCraft: ***blockstate corruption***

Can we donate money to get Myren a better mic?

these guys went beyond minecraft, this is BITcrafting

Good thing that you made this clearer in a video title. A lot of people missed this in the last video and were irritated

I literaly just finished watching the last Sci-Craft video.

Lovely that ElRichMC helped you in this! it's amazing see that people is giving the attention he deserves.

They basically used quantum mechanics in Minecraft 💀 6:30

This insane setup reminds of those really weird ACE sequences people would do in older games whether it would be for speedrunning or to pull off something unexpected

okay this is absolutely nuts but somehow I feel like I'm actually kinda getting it. particularly with the "copy one part of the binary id and replace it on another" part and then the 21:02 explanation of "it's falling for a second and we spam observers so it updates in that split second and therefore changes" actually makes sense. I'm probably missing something else entirely but overall, it makes sense.

Next up:“how we created a new account for free in survival scicraft”

You got my favorite author in there! Awesome!

come on dude, how can I get fascinated only via reading the title? scicraft never ceases to amaze me

Great vid, very interesting. Thank you

The single vs multi thread explanation was great!

Incredible, someone actually laughed at one of Ragou's jokes

It still amazes me how much you guys are able to bend the game sideways to get what you want

That’s an awesome explanation of multithreaded processing, I’ll go a little bit more in detail. Most computer CPU’s these days have multiple cores, and what this means is that it essentially has multiple CPU’s in one. The motherboard connects to it in the same way but under the hood there are multiple single core processors that can all do things separately at the same time. Classically, code is executed line by line in a linear fashion. The computer executes line one, then line two, then three, etc. always in linear order. With multithreaded programming, you can actually specify a chunk of code or “function” to be handled by a separate thread. While the main thread is doing it’s own thing, the other thread can run at the same time on a different core. If your computer can’t process the necessary number of threads then it’ll sorta pause some of them for a bit, run a few lines on the first threads, then switch to processing the paused ones, and go back and forth. In well written multithreaded code, we set up locks on certain pieces of information that multiple threads might want to access. If two threads want to access the same piece of information simultaneously, there’s a chance they don’t work together correctly and we get an incorrect end state. For example, we have some number x=0 and each thread is supposed to take that number and add 1 to it. If we have 2 threads, naturally we’d expect the end to be x=2, but if both threads work at the same time then they both see x=0 and both change it to x=1 at the same time, so we don’t get x=2. By “locking” that value when one thread is using it and forcing the other threads to wait for it to “unlock” we get a more linear style of code. In the case of Minecraft, it wasn’t coded to be multithreaded so shouldn’t be facing this issue of two threads changing data at the same time, but they’ve found a way to force the computer to handle the game in multiple threads thus causing an error because there was no locking system put in place.

Normal redstone builds: “don’t touch that! You’ll break it!” Scicraft redstone builds: “don’t walk into that chunk you’ll break the server!”

I really would love to hear the reactions from devs like notch and jeb to stuff like this being explained.

This was very well explained and so genious thanks...

Super interesting video. I was always under the impression that pretty much everything runs in one thread but I'm surprised to see that you can get some interesting interaction between multiple.

I just heard Paolinis name and Im instantly hooked. The Inheritance series is my favourite bookseries

idk why but i found it so funny when you started spectating jkm at 6:09

This was actually something I always wanted somebody to do for a while

You could also throw a ender pearl diagonally through a nether portal being in the nether to teleport to the overworld coordinates where the ender pearl would land but be teleported in the nether effectively also teleporting to the coordinates times 8. If repeated multiple times you could also teleport anywhere on the map. Idk if it still is possible in newer versions. I thin I found out in 1.7 and 1.12 was the last time I tried.

Wow, yesterday I have just finished reading Inheritance and now there is a video with Christopher Paolini himself 😅

these guys are so epic, they even get lag to do work for them

what an incredible creation. my head hurts.

17:00 when Rich started mining the barrier and then everyone else joined him I couldn't hold my laughter 😂

Omg ElRichMC is there

i'm really glad you guys made this video,. but man it is really hard to understand Myren speaking.

omg i have been wondering this for the past week thanks for making a video lol

wow that 1 guy really loves stepping on people when they are trying to talk.

"/fill a perimeter" has to be one of my favourite commands

Christopher Paolini x ilmango? That's a crossover I don't think I ever would've seen coming. What a pleasant surprise!

Nice work :D

The video is great, thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately I couldn't at all tell what one of the explainers(I think he is called Myren) is saying :(

YOOOOOO You had CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI as a guest!??? He's one of my favorite authors. Legitimately my dream project would be composing music for a cinematic adaptation of the Inheritance Cycle...

I saw multiple comments earlier about Sci-Craft will able to obtain command block in survival. I got big smile on my face after seeing title 😀

This glitch also worked in Minecraft bedrock edition, on older versions, not sure which version, but you can do the falling block conversion glitch on bedrock, and weirdly you get a bunch of wall blocks.
