Transcripts

I asked you to send me your dumbest

Redstone ideas and you guys left me over

900 comments to go through so I've

picked out all of my favorites and now

I'm gonna build them eclogite tack has

asked me to make a Target block that

moves out of the way whenever you try to

shoot it so I've gone and made a little

shooting range here so all we have to do

is stand on this block shoot an arrow at

the Target and as you can see it's gonna

move out of the way no matter how hard I

try it's gonna Dodge every single one of

my arrows and the Redstone is pretty

simple it's literally just a bunch of

slime blocks attached to the Target

block which then get moved by a piston

and the Piston is controlled by a

calibrated skulk sensor that I've set up

to listen out for when I use an item so

when I shoot an arrow it's gonna listen

out for that and then the Piston will

extend itmg the infamous PVP troll has

asked me to make a door where you need

to play The Melody of Never Gonna Give

You Up on note blocks to unlock it so

I've set up some note blocks here in

order these are all of the notes in the

main ability of Never Gonna Give You Up

and I need to time these correctly

otherwise the door will not open so here

we go this is a bit of a skill check

I messed it up already this bit in the

middle always gets me

nope nope

maybe maybe it will open

[Music]

we did it I did it I did it I managed to

open the door by playing Never Gonna

Give You Up yeah I don't even want to

talk about this Redstone basically the

notes that you play at the start have a

massive delay and then the notes at the

end have a shorter DeLay So if we play

the notes in order with perfect timings

then they will reach the end all at the

same time which will turn off all of

these torches at the same time which

pulls this piston back which sends a

redstone signal down here and it will

open the door but the timing has to be

basically perfect if you get any of the

notes slightly out of time then not all

of these torches are going to turn off

at the same time and the door won't open

someone too has asked me to make a

piston door that does not allow the

French to pass and here is that door

obviously I can walk through it because

I'm not French I'm British so I can't

really test if this door works I need to

test this out on a real French person

this is my friend sloime fellow

redstoneer YouTuber and certified

professional French person bonjour sir

can you try walking through this door

all for me do I really want to do that

uh yes you do like you're not gonna make

a friend's door it's got your flag on it

I mean I like my flag but like you're

gonna explore me all douche or something

like dude there's no way you just did

six Pistons uh-huh you don't trust me do

you all things happening right now all

right come back here let me try it wait

a second

oh it works for me I guess it just

doesn't let French people through that

is extremely xenophobic

hello what why does my country doesn't

want me in I'm literally naturalized I

can cross the border for free one of my

subscribers wanted me to build this I

decided to use you as my guinea pig even

though your Skin's like a tiger I guess

let's go well whatever yeah now you're

trapped in there oh oh I'm trapped in

friends

thank you Mr commenter moime appreciates

your comment Matthias has asked me for

an automatic Anvil replacer that throws

the Anvil into your face instead of just

replacing it okay so here's an anvil

station and when I break the Anvil it's

gonna open up the wall and throw the

Anvil directly at me and not put it

where the first Anvil was and if I keep

doing it it's just gonna throw more

anvils out until it kind of fills up and

sometimes it even damages the anvils

yeah not the most practical thing in the

world I think this this qualifies as

pretty dumb the Redstone isn't really

that special it's just an observer

detecting when the Anvil breaks then it

Powers this thing to open up the wall

and this slime block pulls back for a

second to push an anvil out foil has

asked me for a machine that Cycles the

blocks in the room each time you enter

or exit for example the crafting table

goes where the furnace was the furnace

goes where the smithing table was

smithing table goes where the crafting

table was so in this room you can see

there's a few things like a blast

furnace a stone cutter and a Fletching

table but when we walk in it's gonna

pull them down and start cycling them

around

and then it swaps all of them and also

when we walk out it's gonna do the same

thing it's gonna start swapping them

around again so I'm not sure what you

would use this for I guess it's good for

confusing people who live with you in

your base and the Redstone is kind of a

mess you stand on these pressure plates

and it goes down underneath it will push

out this piston which will pull all of

the blocks down then it sends a pulse

over to here which starts this clock

which begins cycling the conveyor belt

and once it's cycled the blocks three

times it's going to stop the clock and

then it's going to pull this redstone

block back which will push the blocks

back up tgnm has asked me to make a

working lawnmower in Minecraft so here

I've got a very overgrown lawn and it

really needs some mowing there's flowers

and Tall Grass everywhere and believe it

or not this is my lawnmower it's gonna

mow the lawn for us and it's gonna water

the grass all at the same time all I

need to do to start it is just update

this Observer it's a little bit slow but

it gets there in the end and as you can

see it's going to start breaking our

grass although it does leave behind a

bit of a trail I guess that's something

you'll just have to deal with if you

want your lawn mowed and watered at the

same time you can't have everything you

know sluggish Cupid has asked for a

machine that points out how many of the

suggestions are three by three piston

doors so I've got a blank screen here

and when I push this magic button it's

gonna tell us exactly how many of the

comments are 3x3 piston doors so now I'm

gonna push this button and it's just

gonna take a second it needs to start

Gathering the data from the YouTube post

and once it's ready it's going to

display the number on the screen

well there we go 32 of the comments

asked for 3x3 piston doors that is as of

me recording this video by the time I

post the video it might be a few more

fariza San has asked me to make a

machine that crashes your game whenever

you eat next to it so once again I'm

using a calibrated skulk sensor this

time to detect when I eat this steak and

it's gonna power this command block that

will spawn an ungodly number of

particles in our face which will

overload my game and crash it so uh here

we go let's eat this steak

and

it's frozen now we just gotta wait for

it to actually finish crashing because

uh this can take a while sometimes oh

yep there we go it's crashed it's

crashed pretty badly very human has

asked me for a beacon that powers off

once the player is within range so they

don't get the effects so here's a beacon

and right now I'm not in range of it so

I'm not getting any potion effects but

if I try walking towards it to get in

range

it's gonna turn off and you can see

right here

yeah it's blocked off but if I run away

from it it's going to turn back on so I

can never get anything out of this

Beacon and once again I'm using

calibrator skulk sensors it's becoming a

bit of a theme for this video these

things will hear you from 16 blocks away

and when they hear you it's gonna go

into this pulse extender here which then

goes along here to this Observer piston

here which will push this block above

the beacon David nov has asked me to

build a machine that generates dumb

ideas and here we have our mystery box

of dumb ideas so all I need to do is

approach the box and push this button

and it will print me a brand new fresh

idea

subscribe

huh

I guess my machine must be broken then

because that's not a dumb idea that's a

really good idea

you should subscribe
