My friend already declared he wanted to build this on our server. That was probably the fastest no I’ve ever given to anyone

My question would be, can you throw in a ender pearl loader to this thing to tp to anywhere in the world that is loaded. Even better is if the pearl is somehow put at the end of the orbital strike so you can super hero landing in the huge pit!

I really think this technology could be used to make a tunnel bore for really, really long tunnels

The only man in the entire history of the human race to understand how Redstone Comparators work.

This man used more linear algebra in this video than I did in my college class

"So we know that this TNT is moving at 10 blocks per tick in each direction, so it moves 10 blocks in each direction per tick" - Cubic, 2023

25:32 Wait, so the chunks at the target don't even have to be loaded? The tnt will still get there and just explode when the player comes back? That makes this even more insane! This is the biggest achievement in redstone ever

Ok, that was an insane explanation. Good job mr Metre!

You need to hook the input to a hardcoded calculator which takes binary coordinates and automatically outputs the amount of tnt to the dupers. Then use some weird mechanics to locate players via redstone and convert the data to binary, reduce delay and you have a full-auto-auto-aim ballistic projectile launcher.

I've been playing Minecraft for 11 years now and I still get surprised everyday of what people is able to do in this game. Sad that only a small part of Minecraft players know how complex this game can be!

The bit about the powdered snow just unlocked the whole design for me. I was in awe as to how you could possibly calculate so perfectly the insane speeds and upwards angle to get a parabolic curve where the tnt comes essentially straight down on the target. With the powdered snow quirk it's as simple as just setting the tnts position offset via its velocity since it will stop moving predictably. Brilliant!

Bro's the Magnus Carlsen of Minecraft. He could be designing mars robots for NASA, or be one of the greatest physicians of his time but instead he decides to bully other players in a game with completely overengineered tactics, incomprehensible for us mere mortals. That's based.

Hello, one Russian streamer improved your gun and made adjustments to the depth of the shot, the strength of the shot, and the width of the funnel by the fact that when firing and setting additional settings, the gun itself reports the distance from each hole and prepares volleys immediately for many holes, he literally launched it all yesterday and hit 5 by 5 holes with a volley, and in addition, he added a counter and a timer

I'm trying so work out if you could create a multiple impact system for bigger holes. Perhaps you could create a first batch of TNT, then use a couple of TNT to offset it's velocity before adding the next batch. Once all the batches are loaded you start setting off the main propellant TNT to launch all the batched together.

Looking at the crazy build of the Anvil launcher on Hermitcraft by Docm77, who mentioned the insane amount of work put into mastering the mechanics of the contraption; and then followed by this wonderful demonstration of some of the mechanics in detail by you in this TNT cannon is just awe inspiring! Props to the everyone who makes such kind of builds. It is so cool that a TNT cannon discord exists where all the magic happens!

I'm studying physics and I had never thought that I could apply the same mechanics to a block game :D

This is incredible, it also kind of introduces the concept of nuclear war to minecraft. I would love to see shenanigans with this on smps. Also I really appreciate this explanation video, you are so good at that and now I actually understand what just seemed like witchcraft to me in the original video, so thanks 😊

Thanks for posting this! I'd also like to thank you as your videos have given me interest in this side of technical Minecraft that I'd never even thought was this developed. Can't wait for what comes next.

Absolutely crazy. Someone needs to add control options with wireless redstone so that you can fire it from anywhere in the world.

The moment you said instant perimeter im certain that you will never stop thinking about making it till you do Im excited for the video on it

My man this IS building death star from scratch

This is amazing. I am always mind blown with your crazy work. Keep it up!!!

dear god Cubic PLEASE make that instant -server crash- perimeter maker

What's next? You make a particle accelerator that can rend space into shreds? You are a madman, and it's super awesome! Edit: Some mad scientist said they already kinda did, so I'll do one better. A railgun that shoots the projectile that supercedes and transcends it's own reality, finesse itself through spacetime and shoot someone in real life in past present and future?

Man this is really crazy! You made really cool stuff! Keep it on!

This is amazing Sean! I'm trying to make a Discord bot to do the calculations so this was SUPER helpful

Чисто заквиель моментум

We really love watching your videos. Please upload daily!

the mechanic at the end is really exciting ! if you or other people develops an instant perimeter with this, it would be insane

29:57 tbh the first thing I thought about was teleporting into unloaded chunks with enderpearls that get loaded by the tnt explosion, just need protection or a totem or is there something preventing that idea?

I have just now, after I have been binging your videos for 2-3 weeks, noticed, that your not a many year old channel with over a million subs, but rather new with "just" 81k subs.(which is wicked fast btw, congrats on that). Your videos are punching way above your weight class, your doing a really good job explaing the important stuff in a way someone with just bearly above average theoretical understanding and no skill in building or even designing restone contraptions myself can understand most of the stuff you say. I, personally, could have even more explaing in there, especially on certain mechanics (or where you have have explained them already previously) if I had to give constructive feedback, but that's in huge parts thanks to my knowledge about all of the details or better lack thereof. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next utterly insane thing you post

The instant quarry sounds really neat!

This reminds me of the tech we'd use in Factions... TNT cannons got incredibly precise with tunneling effects aka "Nuking" in opposing factions' walls. Sand stacking and midair sand stacking all came to fruition back then. I remember writing a python script at one point to calculate exactly where the TNT would be based on the position/quantity of the propellant. flash forward about a year and a concept for one-shotting multiple base walls at once happened. good times.

I hoped that you would look into the digging possibilities, but what you showed at the end will enable crazy things!

THIS IS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND! ITS COMPLEXED LOOKING BUT ITS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYTHING WORKS!

This is so awesome. The explainations are also good. sooo cool

This is the most interesting video I have watched in months

pretty cool, good job

I love this tipe of explaining vid and you are a genius

I really wanted that video to be made! :D

With the underground TNT "surprize" demonstration, as soon as it blew up, an ad played. just before I realised that it was an ad, I thought that either your game had crashed, or the video ended. Either way, I was entertained twice over.

Love it can’t wait for the instant perimeter

One advancement I'd love to see to this technology would be the ability to program multiple strike positions that it would hit sequentially. Logically that would allow you to have just one machine that can make infinite perimeters anywhere in the world if you increased the payload to be strong enough to reach bedrock. I definitely think it would be worth it in general just cause of how much harder perimeters are in 1.18+ although I know that would require almost entirely reworking the targeting counters cause you can't automatically interact with lecterns

Excellent documentation

This is simply insane, Especially the outro part

Can't wait to see this tech's development after a couple of years.

when i first saw this boi from you my first idea of usage was instant quarry and i have powerful enough server where i will do it thank you for your invention cubicmetre!

Thanks for your video.

It would be so cool if you could use the tnt chunk loading technique for long instant redstone lines

next step in tnt cannon technology is an orbital strike cluster cannon. Imagine a cannon with not only accurate strike capabilities but also a variable in creating a field of tnt charges, it can be a single downards charge or a line of charges, or a rectangle, all using redstone to determine how the charges are spread out.

YOU, SIR, operate on an entirely different level. Amazing.

The whole technology is insane enough as is, and then at the end I hear you say "...the possibility of the 'instant perimeter'...". I now feel like I should throw my headphones and punch my monitor, lol

So if TNT is loading chunks for a one tick is it possible to somehow hook it up to chunk loader in order to be able to turn it on remotely?

Oh shit @29:00 You made a particle accelerator Them chunk border holes look like quantum physics to me

I would love to see an automatic perimeter! Also an automatic ancient debris quarry?

Is there any place where I can get a tutorial or a map to build this? I played Minecraft for 11 years and yet I still get surprised by how creative players like you can get. Great job on that one, I have to sub after this

very interesting i already head something along the lines of instant perimeter, after docm build his anvil canon. I was bit disappointed when he didnt build your crazy anvil everywhere all at once canon (still amazing what he build nonetheless).

the future of wavetech, instant quarrying 👀 and then, ofc, instantly pick up everything with falling hoppers ;))

thank you for this pannenkoek level explonation

Found this fascinating

This gives me wonderful ideas >:)

im proud to say that this is the first full cubicmeter video that i watched to the end AND understood

In the demonstration you had at the end; is there a reason the tnt was exploding at the edge of a block? And would this chunk-loading process redstone in those chunks?

keep it up cubicmetre!

This is insane!!

Holy crap. That gem at the end...

Hey cubic, since u posted the first video talking about this crazy machine i've been wandering if it may be possible to make perimeters with this by just inserting two coordinates and letting the machinery to decodificate them and destroy everything in between using those crazy holes that it makes with TNT. It would be kind of revolutionary to have a single machine that can make an unlimited amount of perimeters almost effortlessly so technical players don't have to spend most of their time just mining or building giant quarries which since 1.18 are a lot harder to build.

so with the wireless redstone with falling items would be perfect imo to load chunks to teleport to anyplace then back to set new cords the setup he showed would only give you 832 loaded blocks across 13 locations but still cool idea

This is a psychotic amount of work for a fucking Minecraft TNT launcher. Good shit lad.

Looking forward to Hermitcraft season 10 when Doc uses this to establish dominance over the entire server!

That's Insane

I remember playing factions with kman in 2017 lmao did not expect to see him here

Please make a step by step tutorial on how to make this please. I want to make this in my world 😊

Can't wait to see some death star quarries soon

If you chunk load a 5x5 will the center chunk be entity processing?

My question is, assuming the server is running carpet mod, in a multi-player context, what counter-measures could be taken to effectively render an orbital strike incapable? What challenge can you make out of trying to survive an orbital strike? Assuming that you as a player have a script to log your exact location and player data when you log out, and knowing that you will log back in to an expected orbital strike, what could save your soul? I'd assume that one of the obvious solutions is to build a chunk-loader before you log out, which entirely solves the problem of logging in only to load primed TnT. A small obsidian shack entombing a chunk loader can endure weather harsher than any combination of Floridan Hurricanes, Californian Wildfires, and Australian Engineering. Additionally or alternatively, run a script to log in and log out as quickly as possible, whereby player login invulnerability is taken advantage of, the TnT explodes or begins to explode to the Chunk having been loaded for approximately 10 seconds, and then the player finally logs back in, possibly repetitively logging in and out to account for a long fall due to a stab-charge having destroyed all the blocks beneath a player. If that is the case, (to say that chunk-loading and login scripts successfully nullify an orbital strike as a threat) let's assume that there is a 10-second delay between when we log in and when we can log out, and assume an oldschool Minecraft faction mod, where Obsidian has an effective durability of 3, where block durability is defined as the number of instances where it can withstand an explosion before being destroyed, (this durability being measurable via right clicking with a potato created by a command block), and additionally, that the Obsidian inside of the orbital strike cannon is not subject to change--or alternatively, assume that crying obsidian is unmodified, and that we (the defending player/faction) do not have access to crying obsidian. At what distance is a sky base effectively out of the range? Could you create a series of chunk-sized pillars in lazy chunks surrounding a player (or chunk-loading mechanism) that have a constant use of TnT-mechanisms that explode so as to change the direction of any TnT that would otherwise be sent through it? Could you utilize powdered snow, 1-tick sand piston movement, or anvils in some form as a defense mechanism? If if truly can hit any coordinates in a Minecraft world, could you demonstrate how it is able to render a sub-bedrock bunker base null? Could you facetank explosions for an extended period of time? Using a Shulkerbox mod by Xisumavoid, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6iJY8WSz565f6M.html, we can use the refill property to replenish Shields or Totems of Undying, and then survive for at least another 0.5 seconds for each item we can store in our inventory (and use an adjacent ender chest as additional storage). How about we assume that a script is running so that an orbital strike cannon knows our location, and as time efficiently as possible, an automatically will send a strike to our exact location as often as possible, that we spawn in (500000, 500000), and that we exist on a superflat world where structures can generate. Now, build an additional strike cannon for each player that has access to a server, run the script for each player, and create a challenge of trying to dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons in a multiplayer setting. Assuming that having a player entity enter the nether causes them to instantly die, (as well as many other changes), how would you go about the challenge of defending against Armageddon, establishing resources within a superflat world with no access to the Nether Dimension, and then dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons that may as well have converged into it's own death star? In this superflat, It would be very interesting to try and interact with the nether under the presumption that the player cannot enter it, but that we can use a seed and coordinates to understand what is on the other side, and then attempt to bring over resources from the nether to the overworld, or vise versa. Alternatively to the hell that I just described, what about trying to improve or create a variant of the Orbital Strike cannon that can use a payload or charging mechanism other than duped TnT? What about using the spawning of a Wither? Blue Wither Skulls? Regular Wither Skulls? Respawn Anchors/Beds? Charged Creepers? The thought of an orbital strike cannon that could destroy obsidian is horrifying beyond comparison, and could solve the obsidian chunk loading bunker as a problem to the effective capacity of an orbital strike cannon as an impossible exertion of a god's will on earth. ~Just some thoughts~

its not properly working on my server can you help?

Cant wait!

Would be incredible if you developed the tnt knockback mechanic from the 'voodoo' video into a co-ordinate triangulator to accompany this.

Now waiting for someone to inevitably build this on 2B2T

Probably in advance, having a set of dolphins, at a safe distance away, could continuously circulate the items to keep them from despawning while hopper minecarts over 4 hoppers each would collect the items, and load them into shulker boxes, maybe on the nether side to reduce the client side lag and having them moved to the lazy chunks to make sure they're collected before they despawn, if their 5 minutes is paused while inside those chunks.

What do you think the impact of the new wireless redstone will be on the compactness of designs and new designs in general? I'm new to redstone and technical Minecraft so it would be interesting to hear what you would have to say on the matter.

Yes, we def want an instat perimeter

Could the tnt loading be used to make a chunk loader for the end?

amazing

This is why you should pay attention in math

Please build that concept for an instant quarry. It may be entirely impractical, but it must be built.

Could it be possible to build a redstone computer to do the co-ord calculation or would the chunkloading interfere?

You could totally use wireless tech to encode the target coordinates for this. I might improve my "portable" transmitter design to be compatible with the binary receiver so it can be set up in the field quickly. Like seriously, this is groundbreaking, because now we actually have a practical requirement to apply information theory to; how to most efficiently transmit a complex signal from anywhere in the world in the least amounts of bits and blocks placed as is humanly possible.

okay, we need the instant quarry

I think we need the MC equivalent of The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)

With the knowledge presented at the end it should be possible to solve the offset issue in 14:30 by simply giving the (in the picture) bottom and left tnt momentum in the last tick before exploding so it moves forward in the lazy chunk, aligns itself against a block and explodes in this exact tick because it is still processed. I guess that my logic is some sort of flawed because the solution seems too simple and I'm not at all in the subject, therefore I'd love to get corrected.

"one really big fcking hole coming right up" -Thermite

Hey Cubic, I had an idea for a specialist TNT cannon you could try and build. In the Social/PVP series Last Life, players used block paths high up in the sky, including near world height, to drop TNT minecarts on unsuspecting players' heads. This is a smart move, as people don't really look upwards, especially when they're talking to each other, and there is little counterplay for dealing with someone up that high. However, I had a thought that maybe you could build a TNT cannon designed to shoot far upwards at these players, as, unless they're standing on obsidian, it would destroy the thin paths they are standing on and probably kill them or at least deal serious damage to them, especially if they can't land in water. The problem is that this cannon would need to be cheap and quickly buildable, and also be able to shoot pretty far off to the side (though it wouldn't necessarily need to be aimable in any sideways direction), so you don't get yourself (and potentially any TNT you have placed) blown up in the middle of building. It would also need to be able to target block paths at variable heights, including up to world height (maybe having a cheaper, quicker to build design for lower heights would be a good idea), and it also needs to have reasonable accuracy without having access to exact coordinates due to the PVP setting and how high up the paths are (i.e. you'd need to do it by eyeballing it).

“hey man what are your coords rn” “10000, 10000” “oh neat. hey remember when you blew up my base earlier?”

I remember on (legacy) Console Edition, if an entity was hit by a strong enough blast, it would actually pass through blocks. this coupled with how where a player was looking would affect their motion in a blast, made me able to get into the void (bedrock wasn't breakable in creative mode on Console Edition)

PLEASE design an instant perimeter/quarry machine. I NEED IT‼️‼️‼️

I’ve been trying to make a moving submarine base that has an orbital cannon it can launch through the roof of the submarine to target shoreline bases. If you could make one of these I’d be so happy. Cheers mate

I have a feeling some 6 or so months from now, Fit is going to talk about how someone built an orbital cannon in 2b2t and is using it to destroy bases without even leaving their own.

Man how can i learn to make redstone like the way you do? I re-ignited my passion for minecraft and want to learn redstone on this level
