You can also shoot Blaze Cakes out of a Potato Cannon! It does the most damage out of all of them (15 on an unenchanted cannon) and sets mobs on fire.

Super slow rotation can be funny on a multiplayer server. Do stuff like making a tree that rotates incredibly slowly, or other various landmarks/things around someone's house. My favourite thing is rotating forests, although that takes a load of bearings and its a nightmare to glue.

[@dejojotheawsome]

oh my god rotating forests that's hilarious

This is some “Smii7Y replaces an entire forest with planks” type of energy 😂

Actually, what if you made a system that very rarely rotates something 90 degrees, got almost everyone on the server to play along, and made someone think they're insane.

@@SurgeXs would probably have to be something unsymmetrical but sometime you dont really pay attention to, like a stray animal pen

fun fact. a 5x5 wool windmill is about as much stress as two large water wheels. so a 5x5x5 cube of wool on a windmill bearing will give you that sweet 8000 stress

I'd like like to think that putting the goggles on the mechanical arm is a reference to the scene in, i think, Iron Man 2, where Tony is yelling at a mechanical arm that has goggles on. I could be completely wrong, but it's fun to think about!

[@dejojotheawsome]

that would be cute!

[@khaosfilms2480]

The first one is also realistic. As the color blue is hotter than orange or red.

[@electrobob992]

True Fact #50 "Mechanical Arms or mechanical presses, mixers, etc. don't care if a depot is the same depot, just as long as one is in the same location" Meaning, you could glue depots on a mechanical barring. Rotating periodically stopping to give the machines time to interact with the depots. Basically an alternative way to automate recipe sequences. "It spins them right around baby right round..."

[@dejojotheawsome]

Hahaha that’s cool

[@Tankerrex3]

I am still a novice at Create, are there any cases where this interaction could see practical use?

[@BananaCoder]

@@Tankerrex3 A table that a player can insert items onto and a mechanical takes the items off, while it's constantly spinning maybe? Other than that, it could, like @electrobob992 said, be used for sequenced assembly such as in precision mechanisms, though it would be more decorative, as it is not the most efficient way to do this.

​@@Tankerrex3one I can think of is a bit of something strange. If you need to cycle crafting, I can see some redstone-create mix logic for certain items giving signals for changing what autocrafters are making. It'd be weird, but it's a use.

[@thebloxxer22]

Funnily enough, if you gear down rotation to where it is below 0.5, A grinding wheel pair will process items INSTANTLY, as long as you only insert 1 item at a time.

I think the Honey and Chocolate pushing you faster makes some sense. Its a thicker liquid flowing at the same rate as water, isn't it?

[@dejojotheawsome]

no they flow slower than water and they'd have to be flowing reaaaaally fast to make much sense. Besides honey sticky!

[@VidTDM_XD]

Only if it was in vanilla minecraft it could be helpful

[@AkariEnderwolf]

Blaze Burners burn blue when super heated because, barring use of certain minerals in the flame, Blue fires burn hotter, this is because the fuel for these flames is typically FULLY combusted in the process, that causes them to release more energy. Depending on the minerals used, you can also get various colors of flames at the normal red flame temperature.

Isn't copper green? A really nice green too, like the Aurora Borealis. Or maybe thats zinc I'm thinking of.

Encasing a chute is more useful than you'd think because it makes the input hitbox bigger, so if you're making a tango cobble farm for example, encasing the chutes will stop the blocks falling between them.

[@siesmec4356]

Honestly the mechanical contraption glitch is a pretty common bug I have been getting recently, its completely visual and can be fixed by reloading all chunks (F3+A)

[@dejojotheawsome]

Gotta love create's visual bugs

Congrats on 15k!

[@brennanruiz1803]

One thing that reliably causes it is having instant respawn on in a single player world

[@arkues]

That infinite slow down does have a "practical" use case. When I first discovered create I saw the potential for building spheres in minecraft, but I noticed that any sphere building machine with a sufficiently large radius wouldn't work perfectly. The arm would move fast enough to skip blocks even at 1 rpm but if you slow it down even further, even though the full rotation would be abysmally slow, the outer reach of the arm would still be moving quite fast

[@chocoking2103]

actually, the blaze burner turning blue is a refferance to the hottest blue and purple flame of a gas torch

[@user-zj3kl1xj2s]

Purple flame?

5:20 I have seen that many times on a server, happens all the time, f3+a to reload chunks fixes it, its purely visual and can technically happen with any contraption, but for some reason minecarts specifically really love doing that. Also beetroot does pitiful damage but their firing speed alone makes them HORRIFYING with enchanted cannons, dual wield that and you become the heavy from tf2

I have more of a tipp for create trains, when you have a mob controlling a train and you put a train controller on both sides of it your train tracks don't need to be a loop but they can go forward and back (nice if you only have one train on a track and don't want to make a loop)

Thank you sooo much for these "useless" facts some are actually useless but like changing the wood color of the water wheel is nice for building aesthetics

[@iano3354]

That last fact seems like the most useful fact of all.

[@KarolOfGutovo]

1: being able to climb a rope allows you to create a rudimentary mineshaft by attaching a wind turbine/water wheel to a pulley that lowers a drill into the ground. You can sit on the drill as it goes down, and bail into any interesting cave/straight up out of danger. Also allows access to "service" areas of rope pulley lifts without needing a whole floor there (ik elevator pulleys kinda make those redundant, but eh.

The clock one actually makes me feel like you could make one of those over-the-top villain traps where the clock reaching a certain point cuts a bamboo or rope and causes a Rube Goldberg of different things around the room eventually killing the target, and you could have somebody trapped there and say some cheesy one-liner and leave the room with them complete unsupervised for some reason and then they to try to escape at the last second

I did not know you could put goggles on things. This makes me happy.

[@alfav_]

Those contraptions become laggy if they're far from player (probably in unloaded chunks). So F3+A helps with that situation

​@@dejojotheawsomeone rope pulley is cheaper than a stack of ladders and takes less effort to move, though.

Number 3 was actually demonstrated in the Create: Above and Beyond trailer. It's pretty useful actually.

[@thehunt3rs_]

19 yeah, i’ve expierenced this a lot while trying to make an Ultimate Creat Mod Base, and my guesss is that it happens because too much is happenning around it, causing the visual to bug out. To fix it just re-log the world

[@mdbgamer556]

Wait, Create has ACTUAL lore? Amazing

[@TheFuriousNightFury]

number 5 can be used to keep a blaze burner on blue using cakes without wasting any. have a comparator being powered from the side with a signal of 3, which itself is powering the mechanical arm that feeds cakes to the burner. it will only grab a new one when it stops being blue. you can do the same technique for normal burning too. less fuel wasted! (unless im stupid. this is a possibility)

[@lxadreadeater]

awesome content as always, definitely deserve more subs. :)

I think the random function could be for something like a tree farm where it spits out the logs for you to use on one side while the rest could go into feeding a blaze burner or smelting into charcoal on a smelting track.

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

The random setting on brass tunnels seems like it'd be useful for redstone RNG

[@Techischannel]

The Infinitely slow rpm is good for transporting Immense amounts of stress units. As each halfing of speed, dubbles the stress units in the system. Sure a fast high stress unit system is ideal. But when time isnt an issue, a slow system might just do the trick.

I pretty regularly use the wand of reflecting in creative mode. Just wish it had an even setting. Also, i used to use 2 minecart contraption to mimic trains before thet came out. Tricky to make and use, but so long as your careful about turns they worked great. Trains are still so much better tho

the redstone signal from heating blazeburner once helped me, then i did steam engine on lava. My hand feeded blazeburner with lava and then blaze were already heated, it just pured out lava and that wasnt nice. So, cause redstone signal also stops the hand, then blazeburner was heated hand stopped

Honey pushes you faster because its much more dense, thus making it much harder to resist its flow. A good historical tidbit, there was a humongous molasses spill in boston way back, and it levelled entire blocks because of how much kinetic energy it had.

Bro...24 fans is possible because of conveyors. Fans can blow through conveyors (I think) and so you can run conveyors in and out of the space in the center (maybe using depots as well)

[@johnm9263]

you can have two minecarts on the same contraption, because thats how you used to make trains and trams, using the minecart link the issue with your setup is that its too small for it to turn without breaking so if you dont have the capability nor desire to make a full rail system, you can just use minecarts for trains

[@gagemonster555]

you can flint and steel blaze burners to make them on fire and feed them soul sand to make the fire blue this might be what the splash water is for this is unfortunately a useful fact because they function for smoking and haunting in that way

Ooooooh maybe

Did you know that deployers CAN power themselves? Just make a plane of handcranks, connect them with belts and put deployers at the top on a mechanical bearing goeng fast enough to not let any crank stop in time. You could also put the deployers on a minecart contraption that moves
