Beating Minecraft's Hardest Modpack With Nothing // Episode 5 - Pool Party 2 - Electric Boogaloo

In this fifth episode of the series, I exploit the power of spicy rock juice to claw my way into LV, dabble unsuccessfully in modern architecture, and give a double-barreled one-finger salute to traditional circuit crafting mechanics by throwing a morally suspect and OSHA non-compliant pool party on my neighbors' property.
GT - New Horizons is an intricately designed and custom-coded kitchen-sink style modpack built on the 1.7.10 version of Minecraft. It integrates hundreds of Minecraft's flagship mods into a Gregtech framework - completely overhauling the mods' traditional progression in the process, and radically rebalances any of the technologies those mods may offer.
Because doing things the normal way is 'too easy', I am following a ruleset based off of the (in)famous Garden Of Grind ruleset that places me in a completely empty superflat dimension. Every single resource I need, including blocks to stand on, has to be created out of nothing by finding clever workarounds and weird mechanics. Unlike in Garden Of Grind, I am not restricted to only my starting dimension - it's just that every other dimension starts out just as empty as my first one.
This pack is available on both the Curseforge and Technic launchers. You can also get the pack directly from the development GitHub.

[@MrChuckTestificate]

this series is weirdly fascinating. I think the combination of your style of video-making combined with the fact I've never seen someone do a challenge like this outside vanilla is a lot of it for me.

That villager-powered redstone clock (slip-n-slide) is now my favorite Minecraft thing ever. He looked so happy to help.

[@dylanrope7357]

made a creeper fear powered machine in vanilla where it would open a door revealing a cat once a pressure plate was stepped on. the creeper would run to the other end, closing the door, hitting another plate that opens another door, with yet another cat. int the middle of the creeper run was a third plate that allowed me to make a crude, and slightly dangerous clock.

[@PhageArc]

Your jank reminded me when i played a kitchen sink pack. I used a crusher and uncrafter to make infinite blaze rods, since the crusher turned it into 4 blaze powder and the uncrafter turned that into two blaze rods. I was just throwing blaze rods at botania flowers and forgetting them until the flower dtops working, because the rods despawned.

[@chadoftoons]

I feel like torches and pistons make pretty easy redstone clocks since you can use the length of the piston extending to slow down the tick time of the clock which would also make it not so expensive on redstone but a slippy slide is pretty funny as a solution. Also railcraft trains were pretty stable compared to minecarts and minecart instabillity is pretty much a feature i loved the old cart boosters people made literal proper railing systems once that was discovered and it was real sad when it got fixed for the lamer booster rails. Anyone remember those things?
