It just shows how incredibly complex redstone in the modern Era is, imagine showing this to sethbling in 2013, his mind would be blown

[@aceae4210]

​@@ryanconners3048 if I'm being honest my mind kinda compared it an assembly language with how many weird things it relied on, things like block tick update lag and the one my head made the jump was with the block update order on the blue ice setup because the block update order made it work out (to clarify, my head made the to assembly because of how "low level language"y it was to my head) low vs high level (programing) languages, think c or c++ vs python or javascipt

[@MunifTheGreat]

I need to remember to save this one. I often need that circuit and I keep forgetting about it.

[@GvinahGui]

@@aceae4210 exactly what I thought. Writing your code in a specific way because the order the bits are read/written in the memory matters or because the processor behaves like this or like that. It's definitely similar to low level programming, at least something like C/C++

I know Ilmango was complaining it was annoying to have to subscribe to the loggers each time he reloaded his world, and I discovered a solution to this problem. The command "/carpet defaultLoggers mobcaps,tps" will automatically subscribe all new and returning players to both the mobcaps and tps loggers every time they log into that world. Please like this comment to help Ilmango to see it! One last time, the command is: /carpet defaultLoggers mobcaps,tps

Yeah! The intense technical mc is why I'm here, for sure!

[@mrtoast244]

If I didn't need money I would switch from electrical engineering in an instant to do this lol

[@outasi_official]

I absolutely love the fact that you explain the minutia of every step of the way in a way where even someone with little experience in redstone can still follow along and understand the mechanisms at hand.

[@Xenro66]

This has got to be my favourite contraption combination you've ever made. It's incredibly clever, it's robust, and integrates perfectly with the systems you already have. I like to think I know a lot about redstone, but you're the goat, hands down. It is a privilege and honour to watch you create these things!

[@SebbyG86]

i think the most impressive thing here is your incredible knowledge of the games mechanics and your mastery of the redstone system.

[@in1]

Even if building a second blast chamber would be far easier, this is such an amazing project, well done!

In case of German engineering it's always about efficiency. Second blast chamber would be waste of TNT.

Genuinely one of the best videos you’ve ever made, fascinating concepts with flawless presentation and execution

[@Windeycastle]

Wauw! Changing the timings on the clock that pasted in the logs and seeing the output stream remain constant was... just mindblowing. This must be the coolest video o the year so far!

[@reaganshaffer439]

This is probably my favorite episode of the series this far. So cool to see how far things have come from the silly automatic fish farm controlled by boats and trapdoors.

[@Zeldrake]

OH GOSH I forgot this series started with those clunky fish farms with the boats xD

[@guydht1]

15:27 I can only speak for myself but Imma say that this is exactly the stuff I come here for - I used to play minecraft up until slime blocks were introduced, so you explaining some fun concepts like this is just so nice. Love this series.

[@Greg_Blavet]

It's crazy I couldn't stop thinking about my real time system lessons I had earlier this year, this is such a cool application. Overall the engineering of this series is simply the best thing on youtube, I'm a LoL player and I'm more excited about seeing this pop up in my feed than I was at the time Arcane released

[@corentinouisse2478]

It's really surprising noone did that before. As a computer scientist, I'm quite satisfied and impressed by this optimisation.

[@benjaminkok1755]

Honestly one of the greatest machines every built. Not only is does it maximize blockline flow, but in a world where you technically have infinite things and you could just as easily build a second blast chamber; you choose to instead put together such an elegant addition to what you already had. Love it.

[@Pro_Triforcer]

it would be cool if the control panel displayed the cobble/basalt mode with a block swapper instead of lamps

[@ilmango]

Actually true. I'll change that

[@GvinahGui]

Considering most of the farms out there are designed by ilmango or he is involved on it somehow, this might be the best cobble farm in Minecraft (not just Mango's)

[@ayyorta]

I think it is... Obviously it doesn't produce the MOST cobblestone ever but it's the most efficient one for sure, and produces more than anyone ever needs

[@zano187]

Now he needs to add the pause feature to his other farms and have them all run simultaneously

[@Your_Face]

Theres no might

[@paulelderson934]

It's definitely not efficient in all stages. It overproduces at the first step. That doesn't make it any less impressive at all, though. It's an amazing setup with some very ingenious solutions

[@Kepp_r]

This farm is impressive, it's perfectly efficient and just a marvel of engineering

[@NathanaelTak]

I'm in awe of the block delay detector system. I don't know what's more amazing, Ilmango making these things, or knowing they are possible prior to doing it.

[@WacoTako]

The dedication to only using one blast chamber and just funneling everything into it is insane. This is why I love this man

[@DesTr069]

I live how much ilmango is constantly innovating with this series, and pushing new bounds for automation and system integration in Minecraft. He could have simply built a simple cobble farm and another blast chamber, but instead he found a way to have a maximum efficiency block stream that can take multiple inputs. Truly amazing stuff

[@lenardvandermaas6893]

Glorious how the timing is so perfect even though there is like a second of delay between the merging block streams. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort to engineer this to perfection and make such a detailed video about it :D

[@RealTheCrasher8]

Yay! Another skyblock episode!

I have watched you for 5 maybe 6 years. I have not ever commented (maybe once or twice) and I don't press like button (not that i dont like your content I just cba). This is the best video/farm/series you(or anyone from tech community) have ever created. Well Done It's not the biggest and most amazing that goes to rng manipulation and tnt pearl cannon. But it's the fact that all this is in the "reach" of "normal" (tech) player.

[@SirJerric]

This video amazed me on two counts: First, how well I was able to follow your explanations of the problem solving, and the corresponding appreciation of the solution coming together. Second, how readily your joy created a smile on my face. Thanks, ilmango. May your projects continue to be joyous.

[@combrade-t]

I love this series because of how it shows off interesting circuits and such like this where its like, it's rarely going to be a useful thing to have, but it's like the technical challenge of making it happen and it's great how even for people with little redstone experience can follow along. Thanks to stuff I've learned from watching and enjoying this series I've become motivated to try and expand my factory project to remove even more manual farming from it (... even if most of the existing factory barely exists in survival stage as of yet, I was originally going to design it fully then build but Increasing that seems like it'll never get built lmao).

[@flyino]

Even with my novice redstone experience I managed to follow along with you, very well explained and what a cool farm man

[@funyoutube1436]

This episode was such a masterpiece. The explanation at the beginning was beautifully visualized. The idea was so creative and the execution was pure entertaining. Congratulations for such genius content.

[@Whitefish41]

That amalgamation of contraptions is so needlessly epic, watching this series is becoming absolutely amazing, can't wait to see where it goes next

[@AurallWow]

It's absolutely incredible how you managed to get all of the timing perfected in this one. Your ingenuity is really something else. Thank you for sharing it all on KZbin!

[@PhoenixianThe]

There's something really beautiful about that cobble farm. The endless pillar in basalt mode, the perfect merging, the tuning of the noteblocks, the little touch of contrast in that golden T-Flip Flops... It's the heart of a machine, utterly unadorned, but something about it holds the same joy in mechanical motion as the innards of a well crafted watch.

[@jesuizanmich]

the moment the stream of logs perfectly merges into the cobble stream is so satisfying. I love that it works. the off-set tiny binary counters that select the cobble generators are so fun to watch. it's like the level of machinery greebles you'd expect to see in some animation, but in this case, everything has a function.

[@rrrrttttgggghhhh2341]

Really enjoyed this creative segment, such great explanations, felt the joy of your discoveries vicariously.

[@Rohan8127]

This system... mind blowing. One of the coolest integrations of multiple farms for the sake of maximum efficiency. Somehow, Ilmango does it again and takes technical minecraft to another level!

[@Monkeylordz88]

Seeing the push length detector in action and working was awesome! I was skeptical at first, especially since block conveyors are super finicky, but you made it work! Your technical expertise and practical application are rivalled by few.

[@derike]

This is insane! Incredibly interesting and, to my surprise, understandable. The way you explained everything.. It's really cool

[@mikecharecky2818]

The visualization using blocks representing ticks was so genius and easy to follow!! That's part of why I love these videos, they're so informative and interesting, and somebody with little technical experience like me can get a deep dive into the more in-depth game mechanics

[@alexeschen1849]

I built the azalea mud farm and have been trying to implement cobblestone To fill in the downtime such a great concept always love your content

[@stephmakeslyrics4982]

Watching you in the early days of this series I was like "wow these farms are pretty simplistic, I understand because it's SkyBlock but I'd like to see some crazy stuff". Now here I am watching you design some pretty ingenious farms more or less from scratch, using concepts and ideas I couldn't begin to come up with myself. Seriously loving this series! I also love seeing you go "so here's the idea, I'm just gonna quickly build it" and then you cut to some massive contraption that needs 10 minutes to explain", it kinda throws me off but in the best way possible

[@DirtyDiamondServeur]

Damn seeing that block stream completion work with perfect delays is not the kind of satisfaction I expected today, but I exceeded whatever I thought it would be :D awesome contraption !

[@dmo84]

I truly dont understand why people dont like the creative portions of these videos. I dont understand 90% of the redstone involved, but Mango's happiness and excitement over solving a problem is infectious! I always find myself cheering with him when he gets a farm working. To each there own, i suppose. 💙

[@LunizIsGlacey]

Great episode! Loved the more in-depth designing session and the final product! The closer-up and slower build time-lapse was also nice to follow along with exactly what you were building.

[@Indyfficient]

Wow man this is the coolest thing ever, hands down my favorite series going right now, thanks for being amazing!

This was probably my favorite episode it was so cool to see how flawlessly it worked also the seamless switching to basalt while it's running was so cool.

You're my go-to channel for farm tutorials and I usually don't follow KZbinrs' skyblock challenges or similar but I'm glad I did in this case. I loved seeing how the smart pistons work and everything that went into designing the piston wall, I can't wait to incorporate them into my single player. I've always thought of you as more of a Minecraft scholar/engineer than a "Minecraft KZbinrs". Can't wait to see how far this skyblock series goes!

[@rhythmatician4411]

27:09 incredibly satisfying indeed! This makes the whole complex feel like an optimized system instead of each farm just being optimized locally. Meta-optimization. We've just reached a new level as a community, with mango blazing the trail.

[@AlextheCanuck]

It's a really impressive cobble farm, and it is super satisfying to watch the constant stream of cobble flowing out of the contraption. The tutorial on counting the spacing between blocks was impressive. I really appreciate the lessons on counting ticks, and I would even appreciate a lesson on 0-tick up/down block mover designs. I watched some of the previous videos on sideways movement, but haven't found a good one on up/down yet.

[@kitsuneprincess4637]

This is absolutely incredible. It's a fantastic contraption thati thoroughly understand due to your amazing explanation of every step involved. This is the kind of stuff I come to this channel for!

[@seizedthoughts6044]

this is some of the coolest engineering i have seen in a long time, in minecraft or otherwise. bravo

[@YellowBunny]

Now you only need to add a buffer block storage for the non-cobble blocks to ensure a constant output of 1 block per 4 game ticks :) But in all honesty this was an amazing idea and maybe the best episode of the series thus far!
