Even though Ilmango doesn't focus that much on decorating, the sheer amount of Redstone magic usually looks a lot cooler than most builder players make

Form from function

​@@Federico-1 it doesn't just look cool, it *is* cool and everything has a purpose

[@Leonid-e5i]

I have a theory of mine that beauty follows from functionality. Or usefulness. Or whatever that property is. Like physical theory is beautiful if it is most useful. But sometimes cause and effect gets confused and people say that beauty defines usefulness of a theory. That is sad for me because those people lost their hope of understanding reality.

[@1SSJA]

@@Leonid-e5i this only applies to things with intended functional purpose no? what about a lone flower in a blizzard?

[@Arisaka99]

It's astonishing how far you've come with the insane limitations of the start. Having to wait more than 20 episodes just for cobblestone and now having fully automatic farms is insane.

[@dailyshort2u]

Ilmanga, I think the amount of episodes you have been producing has been amazing. Also, this is definitely one of the best series on youtube right now. Also, this was a really interesting episode!

Btw, there is a vanilla feature to check if there are 3 Bees in a hive, it only works on the first one. It´s the "Total Beelocation" achievement, which you also got on the first

[@jojough8283]

I'm pretty sure something shows up in the f3 menu when at least one bee is in a hive, but I'm not sure if it shows if there are more than one.

[@spacebluemchen]

The honeycomb block actually has a special property. It is the only block that is moveable with pistons and is uneffected by any tool in the game so it is possible to make a trap with it very easily.

[@instantnoob]

Glass? Wool?

[@icantthinkofaname4723]

@@instantnoob wool is mined faster by shears

[@spacebluemchen]

@@instantnoob Wool is faster to mine with shears. You are right with the glass tho. It also has almost the same proerties but it only takes 0.45 secs to mine it while honeycomb takes 0.9 secs. So you could say both are the only blocks that are moveable and dont require a specific tool but still honeycomb takes longer to mine.

[@deltamico]

Does it help anyhow, that it is not transparent?

[@Yasser-444]

it has a special note block instrument if i remember correctly... in fact let me check ... yes i was right but only in bedrock it plays "Flute" sound which is useful, if you want to build a clay or infested block filter, it's useless in java currently

Building the honey farm in the Overworld is actually optimal. It would produce items faster in the Nether, but the bees wouldn't be able to get any sleep, which would be very sad and heavily outweigh the increased rates.

[@rcmrocks2374]

I just wanted to say this honey farm is awesome! You continue to amaze me with your designs. I really expected just a basic farm. 11/10

[@Wortigon2000]

Looks great! The ability to switch between honeycomb and honey with such ease, and not having to fill up a truckload of dispensers with glass bottles also looks really nice. If you can share either the schematic, a world download for the creative world you designed it in, or a tutorial video about how to build it that'd be great!

[@Federico-1]

The most important rule in art is the rule of thirds. I’d look it up for some pictures and a proper explanation but* it’s very intuitive. It applies to any architecture. Secondly try to be intentional with where you are drawing the eye. Beyond that just do anything and chalk imperfections up to being your unique style

[@ryancox3834]

Ilmango has just gone from strength to strength recently. Loving this series!!! To watch you create such amazing things and see the design and explanation process (although I understand hardly any) is amazing

[@tomozbot]

DO NOT turn on subtitles at 5:05…

[@jonass4725]

I have an idea for a honey setup you could theoretically use for bottles and shears. This wouldn’t require filled dispensers of bottles, rather a central storage. Using the comparator setup to unlock a hopper running into the dispenser for the shears on top, then run a hopper line over the top to disperse the shears or bottles through the system. The same circuit could unlock a hopper below the dispenser to suck the shears back out once they were dispensed once, at which point they would be recycled in the system. Might be a bit tricky to tile it (I think two block wide tiles), but could work to allow for both honey bottle collection and comb collection.

[@AlextheCanuck]

I didn't know that you can use flowering azalea leaf blocks instead of flowers, nor did I ever think of restricting bees to a one block space. Both super useful tips to making a better bee farm. I always learn something new when watching the videos. Thanks!

[@chaomatic5328]

Ilmango when he sees honey farms: In response to not getting the complexity I deserve, I’ve decided I will cause problems on purpose

[@feschber]

I really hope Mojang adds autocrafting in Vanilla. Could be a "Chiseled Crafting Table" in the same fashion as the chiseled bookshelfs. Keep using this feature and promote it to others so Mojang gets their shit together.

[@dimaminiailo3723]

done

[@yaseen157]

I never knew that I needed in my life to hear ilmango say "release the bees"🤣

[@minercraftal]

I recently designed my honey farm, I think I haven’t seen a same design yet. I let a hopper mine cart carrying a stack of bottles, moving across all the hoppers feeding into the dispenser. In the end it activates all the dispensers twice, method is an observer detecting tripwire hook passes by the mine cart. Then the hopper mine cart drops down, collecting everything and loops back to the beginning, an item filter takes only honey bottles out, each grab send a signal pause, activate a dropper on the bottom, send a glass bottle onto the rails, and the hopper mine cart will pick it up on its next route. I tested it, seems pretty reliable . I guess it’s the most simple one yet as I know…

[@ChrisVickeryinajar]

You can just dispense the honey bottle and it drops as an item and gets picked up by the hopper. Similarly, if you dispense an empty bottle while the hive isn't full then it also drops as an item and is picked up by the hopper. You can chain them together in a loop for a dead simple day 1 honey farm, throw it on the nether roof for no day night cycle and the rates are honestly pretty amazing.

[@bllllllllackbirdie]

this series is getting real good again with the big farms

[@null8759]

That was a fun build! I kept thinking how are you gonna add in that extra functionality and make it tileable and you just go alright, there we go. Here's this fancy new machine with extra features really well done, reasonably compact, and very clever. Thank you for the video!

[@LostMekka]

i really liked the deeper explanation of the design process, with which blocks will do what and why update order matters and all that juicy stuff. have you ever thought about giving a minecraft technical design class? like episodes staring from the basics and introducing more and more concepts over time. maybe with some home assignment tasks for the viewers... i love technical minecraft, but i am too busy to learn all of this stuff on my own. and im pretty sure that many ppl would really appreciate this ^^ edit: what i mean is a bit like your redstone basics series, but more structured like a course. professor ilmango explains the world :D

[@theasteroidbear2825]

That is a super slick design! Really enjoyed this episode

[@ModestBananana]

I vote for a long tangent on a side quest to automate building materials (as opposed to technical materials.) I think if you do some side quests instead of speed run the “main story,” then we viewers selfishly get more episodes :D

[@zeropluslessthan5126]

this is great. I also love Ianx0four's amazingly simple dual farm, which is at least attainable for the likes of me (and also avoids the pain of stocking 9 slots full of glass bottles...)

[@iIO_OIi]

When farming bee nests, I always have light near the saplings so that they can grow at night, and then I simply use the farm at night only, so that I don't have yo worry about bees exiting the nests immediately- I also make a large farm so I don't have to use bonemeal, it's actually pretty fast (assuming you have enough trees), of course it's only really necessary when you need more bees quick.

[@BetheCog]

Hey i love the series! Heads up though - the auto captions replace 'bees nest' with a word refering to male anatomy at the 5:07ish mark.

[@sliva0]

Honeycomb block actually is special because it does not have an instrument for fast breaking. It is not like this is very useful, but it has some uses in PvP defence builds.

[@iIO_OIi]

I prefer putting 4 nests (or hives) around one flowering azalea leaf block, with 15 bees per such setup and some vines or the like in there to reduce performance burden (entity collisions), the extra 3 bees is for about 33% more items but 12 is easier to get in. One obvious downside is that you can't turn off this sort of design, since you need the vines to eliminate entity collisions, but you could just forgo that part and use fencegates instead if you put some mental effort into it- that would make it even harder to put the extra 3 bees in though, so you'd probably just use 12 bees and have ≈30 second periods of time when no bees are collecting pollen (the exact amount of time it takes for them to collect pollen) since they spend 4 times that amount of time (2 minutes) in the hive making honey, hence why 3 extra bees for every 4 hives works out so well as long as all 4 hives share one pollination space. I spent a lot of time obsessing about how to improve the horribly underdeveloped bee farm designs some months ago, and was surprised by just how little thought went into current popular designs...

[@lapisliozuli4861]

I think the bee farm's facade looked good, don't worry. And a limited block palette can suit masonry or brutalist architecture, but I totally understand if you prefer other styles.

[@benemenhall4215]

Ah the return of the "bee nest" comments

[@igorigor5342]

[@sfisher923]

Not Honey but I spent an hour turning Gold Swords into Gold in Bedrock because Portal Ticking + Player Kill + a 35% Drop Rate for swords (Diamond Sword with Looting 2) gives that many swords in a fairly short amount of time all because I wanted to Barter with Piglins

[@Xolarflare]

The bee tool tip was nice, but you only get the total beelocation achievement after breaking a nest or hive with 3 bees inside. So since you got the achievement you could tell already you had 3 bees in your possession

[@TheOfficialNixxn]

The Advancement „Total Beelocation“ is actually the only way to tell in Vanilla you got 3 Bees in the Hive. Less and it wouldn’t trigger.

[@grahamtipper1343]

5:06 captions on so funny

[@borttorbbq2556]

You know I've been looking for a nice high performance honey farm so I'm kind of glad you have one in here so I can pull some inspiration. I play Pocket Edition so different Redstone which is annoying.

[@micahnightwolf]

You only get the "Total Beelocation" advancement for transporting a hive with all 3 bees inside. However, a tooltip would be nice because the advancement won't go off again if you decide to move the bees again.

[@Vortuka]

Hey Ilmango, which version of auto-crafting mod do you use? I can't seem to find one that's 1.19.3 compatible, including the one you previously highlighted, however I thought your current server was 19.3 so I wondered what you were using? Thanks!

[@bennyk384]

I think honeycomb blocks should act like terracotta (doesn’t get stuck to slime blocks) because it’s wax. I’d just love to see it have some unique feature

[@FamousLawyers]

Heres an idea: when you build a wither skeleton farm you should add a module with autocrafting that automatically generates diamonds from the coal output.

[@theawecat27]

this farm looks really nice, can't wait to have dirt next week you can start making little floating gardens if you want!

[@Veptis]

I am finally playing survival Minecraft again, but I haven't encountered a single slime. So I might have to take some inspiration from here and get honey first. I got Burch samplings and a poppy farm so that might be enough.

I built a super basic bee farm in the nether spawn chunks on my playthrough, and it's pretty productive already (as in, probably more honey than I will need for a long time). I am tempted to rework the output part of your farm so I can upgrade it, I bet the rates would be crazy. (If all else fails, I suppose I could build it vertically to avoid having to elevate items altogether, though that would look pretty strange.

Honeycomb could have been the one block that slime doesn't stick to but does stick to honey blocks.

[@mattarchbell]

I think honeycomb block should be craftable with 9 honeycomb, and uncraftable like any ore blocks; that would make it useful for storage at the very least.

[@spacenoodles5570]

I'm so glad you are using autocrafting, it definitely isn't too simple and replaces boring manual crafting with interesting design work. I would not be against it being used on Scicraft

[@Zeldrake]

Sure, it might have been more efficient to build dedicated honey and dedicated honeycomb farms, as you say, but it wouldn't be _unique_ :)

[@PiegyYTube]

I believe you can increase rates slightly by also lining the walls of the farm with flowering azalea

[@konq3701]

You actually could figure out how many bees you had without the tooltips! The achievement you got needed a bee nest filled with 3 bees, so you instantly could've known
