What’s the point of a cactus farm? Cactus seems fairly useless to me.
@PaulTales15 сағат бұрын
We don't use the blocks themselves. Instead, we cook them in furnaces to passively accumulate experience. Serves as an easy background XP farm to have running in the background.

@ I think I’m gonna make a cactus farm where they all do down a little river in between the blocks they’re growing on into a hopper and that hopper into a compost bin and then that goes into a chest via another hopper for my tree farm. Endless bonemeal! This guy is genius!!!

@@PaulTalesHow do you get your water to do that? I am trying to get it to flow to the bottom left corner, but I can’t figure out how to get the water to cooperate. I ended up just putting blocks in between the sands to kind of create aisles, but I’m concerned that some of the cactus might end up on the blocks and not in the water.
@PaulTales4 сағат бұрын
Water can be the hardest thing to wrangle and get to cooperate. In the farm I made in the video I put one source block of water in each of the corners of each platform and nothing else. If you put more water than that on the sides of the platform it'll get wonky. I was lucky when designing the farm because I was fully ready to beat my head into a wall trying to get the water to work how I wanted. The fact that it worked first time was a stroke of luck. All else fails, hop into a creative testing world and just play around with water for a little bit and you'll nail it. And one final note on cactus farms, the bigger you go the better because sometimes when they break, not only can they get stuck on blocks, but items (like those thrown from you inventory when you drop something) get deleted by cactus damage. That can accidentally happen to cactus blocks after they're popped off by the wall. That doesn't happen often but when you have a tiny farm, it's more noticeable. Cactus farms are plagued by losing some of their drops to things like that so we compensate by just making them a little bit bigger than things like the melon and pumpkin farm from ep.3

I really love the style of this, mixing let's play with redstone lessons. The pace of the redstone lesson worked great for me. I think I'm going to go add a lock to my mini smelter now. 😅 I understand a little basic redstone, but my experience is more following tutorials than fully understanding how it works. I started playing on console so my main world is on Bedrock, but I'm also starting a Java world on PC. I know that some redstone works quite differently between the two. Actually understanding how things work on at least one platform seems like it would be very helpful for me when adapting ideas for the other.
@PaulTales12 күн бұрын
Once we start getting into the world of pistons and the wacky world of quasiconnectivity you'll really see where Bedrock and Java diverge. I'm still hoping for the day that I can push hoppers and chests with sticky pistons but for now I'll just have to be patient.

I just found you through your Redstone Basics video, and I was checking out your other vids too. This is the most extra way of powering a tree farm that I've ever seen. It's hilarious! 😂 Someone else I watch uses a ghast for his tree farm, and I've wanted to make one like his for a while now. (I just chop all my trees by hand currently, which I don't really mind on my small single-player world.) I love the idea of something funny and full of personality for a farm, and renewable without duping or desert destruction is a big draw for me. This one is a little too extra, but man do I respect how outside the box you went. ❤

What could be cool to see is you take on a Cactus Farm + XP Smelter with an automatic eraser for the dye while also keeping some for storage. Yes its less so a component so maybe not for the first videos of the series :P This video itself wont help me specifically but I also wanna be sure to say that I fully agree with the notion that playing in survival can help you a lot when it comes to knowledge of how to do what in this game. Redstone being a keypart, building another. I see lots of people building stuff in creative and while what they can accomplish is great, it lead to a point where people put more stock into "how cool it is" over how functional it is in survival minecraft. A good example is epic builds. They look great but lack detail. Traverse them in survival and suddenly it falls apart. Its not meant to be explored, its meant to look pretty. And when it comes to redstone its often the same way. Its not meant to function well, its just meant to do its thing and screw balancing it out and making it compact to fit into your base. The moment I started my own multiplayer Server (selfhosted) is when I started to get more into redstone and how it all works. Experimenting and more. Needed to, to a degree. And the stuff it helped me discover is insane. Comparitor blocks + Crafters? That is straight up insane how well they work together and I had no idea they do in such a way that it makes a semi automatic circuit. You dont learn that in Creative. You dont learn that from a video. You learn that by experimenting. And then look up a video because all your experiments failed and you have your mind blown LOL. Yea ok some external knowledge always helps. Its Theory over Practice that will always give you more to do and experiment with.
@PaulTales21 күн бұрын
This comment has me grinning from ear to ear! I appreciate the support of the goal of the series which is to make Redstone seem far more down to earth and doable compared to the very entertaining but very daunting videos where someone has managed to code Minecraft inside Minecraft. Those videos are amazing but far beyond my capabilities at the moment lol. A cactus farm is in the very near future and I plan on revisiting the early farms to upgrade them as more components and circuits are explained. An XP Smelter farm is certainly on the list to do!
