[@5pindin]

As a disabled person with a disabled kid (who also has some pretty intense mental health challenges which, without going into detail, are literally life threatening in a way that their physical disability is not), a lot of people in similar situations develop a very dark and dry sense of humour about it. I strongly suspect Scar is one of those, although he mostly keeps it pretty light on camera. I took Grian's reaction as surprise that Scar went there on camera, more than that he went there at all.

The devs still need to add movable storages (its a positive bug for those who do redstone but fixing it would require time and resources). In bedrock this is not the case due to movable storages and tnt duping is patched.

[@Lopoi]

In my opinion while we dont have an alternative for movable TNT dropping, TNT dupping is fine, cause really thats why its used so much. Im pretty sure if we could move dispensers/chests people would make world eaters and stuff without dupping TNT. Then again, maybe the amount of TNT required would be way too much to even farm

[@mayaelise2311]

There's no realistic way to get enough sand for a dispenser-based world eater, unless you want to gravity-block-dupe sand (which people seem to view as more cheat-y than tnt duping). At a minimum you'd need both movable dispensers and farm-able sand to replace TNT duping entirely.

Tnt duping is wonderful in alot of farms, and essential for world eaters. I'd say until mojang develops a viable alternative use it as a feature.

Much love impulse!

tnt duping is essentially a redstone feature . Its marginally complex and requires a number of unique blocks to set up, and te redstone community has done some amazing things with it. I understand some purists may dislike it, but thres also certain farms that just aren't realistic without it.

[@derrickstorm6976]

"I couldn't have done this thing without duping" is not the winning argument you think it is 🤭

[@Fatikis42]

TNT duping is not an essential Redstone feature. It is not remotely complex, it is incredibly simple to do. Duping is an exploit period. Even if annoying redstoners pressured Mojang to ignore the bug.

[@jasonreed7522]

Its not a "feature", its bug they aren't patching until they can replace its role in flying machines. For bedrock version they have moveable tile entities, so you can just put a dispenser on a flying machine. As a result TNT duping has been patched since it is a cheating bug that doesn't enable anything you can't do with legitimate features.

[@jacksonmagas9698]

@@derrickstorm6976 the real question is this: is minecraft a more interesting and fun game with TNT duping than it would be without TNT duping (and no replacement).

I think a good mechanic to add would be to run the clay blocks over or next to magma blocks or even lava to turn it into terracotta and bypass the furnace mechanic completely. Similar to placing a wet sponge in the nether. Or harden it to where it wouldn't drop clay balls, basically turning it into hardened clay which could then be smelted into terracotta.

TNT duping is good for the planet. You don't have to destroy a desert to create a farm. It's Eco Friendly. It's also good for your save file, since you don't have to generate a giant file in order to find said deserts. You can also get sand from other biomes besides deserts, but it's the deformation of landscape that really bothers me.

[@filbertovandette]

In regards to duping....somebody in the live stream put it best....until sand is renewable....duping makes sense....if Husks dropped sand I'd maybe drop duping....

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

I've always been an Anti-TNT duping, but yea after this many years.... Maybe it's just a tool in our toolbox and call it a day. I've made Etho and ilmango Tree farms, but when one of my non redstoner friends asks which tree farm they should make, I usually just tell em to make the ianxofour TNT duping tree farming so they don't lose their minds.

[@KingArthurDent]

I feel like TNT duping shouldn't be a thing either, but as long as getting enough sand for crafting TNT is such a pain (and ecological disaster - mining deserts look terrible, most other mass-mined blocks are mined below surface), TNT duping seems like sort of a necessary evil. Someone else in the comments here suggested adding TNT to piglin bartering, and that sounds like a great option (only bad thing is there is no sand in the nether so would be kind of out of place).

[@JenInMinecraft]

​@@liquidminds its a very minecraft-y mechanic

[@liquidminds]

[@newdaydiscoveries1828]

Hi Impulse! You asked about feedback related to the status of TNT duping and I wanted to take a deep dive and give a perspective on it as a random viewer and long time player just passing by. I started playing Minecraft as an adult around 2017 and have played on many worlds on many servers. It's astonishing how diverse the game is as an open world-sandbox game. From mods and servers such as: SkyFactory 4, Vault Hunters, dropper maps, Hypixel, and Rustic Waters to derping around on vanilla realms with friends and even solo worlds, I've done a little of everything. The game and communities have changed a lot over the years. You have everything from Sci-Craft and 2b2t to Hermitcraft and Empires SMP. Minecraft is a sandbox game for you to explore your creativity. If you constantly held yourself back with what was intentional versus what's enjoyable, that seems like unneeded anxiety. Some people like to follow the rules to the letter and that's okay. Entire subreddits and discord servers exist that connect those people together because that's how they enjoy the game. Some people, such as speed runners like Illumina, PeteZahHutt, and TapL, like to see how far they can go with their own reflexes. Others like ilmango, doc, tango, etho, and so on like to push what they can do technically, try new things and make cool contraptions that pushes past the conventional bounds of the game. Anarchy servers exist for the lawless that enjoy breaking all the rules because the rules existed to begin with. I think that's okay too as long as everyone is on board with it and mutually having fun. If you don't like the concept of TNT duping, that's okay! There is no need to apologize for that. It's how you most feel comfortable playing the game. In a continuously updating game like Minecraft, there will always be bugs and unintended exploits or bugs turned features. Some like the creeper design or amplified terrain were even officially added to the game. Using unintended features in general gameplay can be measured with the pros and cons. I think the general community consensus is: *TNT duping is a bug turned feature*. The game has limitations. You can't just automatically have infinite quantities of everything on hand in survival mode. There are a lot of good reasons why tnt duping is perfectly okay: time, resource availability, skill, and the lack of mods or plug-ins. In my opinion, you shouldn't have to feel guilty about using the community's ingenuity to make certain aspects of the game more enjoyable when it comes to almost any redstone technology. Sure, there are some exploits that are way too over the top and are outright ridiculous like duping enchanted golden apples or max gear pieces. Although, if something is added to a game unintentionally, doesn't mean that it's bad or unhealthy for the game in general and should not be used. Time In listing the pros of tnt duping, time is the most obvious benefit. Hermitcraft season 9 is limited by one massive looming adversary. . . time. An old adage goes: "all good things must come to an end." When the season is finished, would you have rather spent dozens, maybe hundreds, of hours mining blocks to be simply sold in a shop to other players or working on your mega base and hanging out with your friends on the server? Resource Availability: The argument about tnt duping making more resources than natural could be used about almost all farms since, by default, you are manipulating the game to produce more of a resource than naturally gathering it by hand. Everything from a gold farm or a drowned farm to a simple sugar cane farm has an automation to it to save time. Let's say you argue that you should then use tnt in dispensers for the same project. Sand is a nonrenewable resource. If you use TNT duping, you don't have to worry about depleting as many deserts if you wanted to have a device breaking things with a tnt dispenser. The creation of concrete in particular is a good reason to not destroy all nearby deserts for dispensed tnt. Skill: In the case of TNT duping as a practice, there is an inherent risk to the player the more elaborate the machines are. You still have to know how the mechanic works AND construct the devices for the TNT duping to even work for the certain item you want while also replenishing the item you want to break in cases like the clay and mud. Those are outputs of the farm. When constructing farms like that for the first time, there is always the risk of blowing yourself up and losing your progress if you don't know what you're doing. It's like when you and tango set up the wither skeleton farm way back in episode 9. It took time and preparation, but it created a controlled and steady stream of products by manipulating items, mob ai, and terrain already existing. Mods and Plug-ins Hermitcraft already uses mods and plugins that manipulate the game in unintentional ways. While the server is mostly vanilla, many of the amazing builds on the server would be hampered by the lack of using player heads, mob heads, small blocks, invisible item frames, and texture packs. Even when you hover over a shulker box and it displays the contents for you. I would LOVE that to be a vanilla feature in minecraft. As the server already doesn't adhere to strictly vanilla rules, why is tnt duping so different as a quality of life change? At the end of the day, it's a big time saver that allows you to be able to actually accomplish more fun and bigger projects. It takes resources and skill to set it up to work properly and you are not changing anything about the game's code itself. So, go for it and have fun! (Just finished typing this out and sorry for the dissertation xD)

[@Ian-yp1ht]

Personally I don’t like dupping TNT. But I get why they leave it in! Mainly Doc lol

[@Beektron]

TNT dupes are fine. It isn't making you "beat" minecraft any easier. It just makes redstone better.

[@mabatch3769]

Fully agree. It just takes away some grind from an already grindy game. Who wants to spend hours mining sand when there’s an alternative. Wish we could do it on bedrock but it is what is.

[@prop-a-gent]

I didn't even realize that moments before Scar and Grian Flew off to that fateful incident with the tunnel bore, that Tango had also just... Flown by! Love seeing the different perspectives for details like this.

[@Krlytz]

The clay machine looks awesome! Good job Impulse =)

[@felixgalle699]

That discord msg!!! What a cliff hanger! Well done mate :D

[@KalonOrdona2]

Forcing Grian to build the back is the second best thing you've ever done, after making such an awesome base this season!

[@kookooiam6034]

I don’t know why, but I really loved this video more than most… there was something about how you set it up and ran the clay machine. Of course, I always love watching you interact with your friends, but that happens often enough, so yeah, I just really loved this video! Great job Impulse

[@A1BASE]

Hold to your principles, Impulse! More respect to you for not using glitches like TNT duping!

[@ShadowX8860]

Now all you have to do is link up a dirt generator to the clay farm and it'll be fully automated.

[@vaelegoro7782]

Impossible you have to manually hoe/path the dirt as well as craft and place coarse dirt

[@ShadowX8860]

@@vaelegoro7782 not with coarse dirt, with stone into moss into podzol into dirt

[@connorputman7652]

I loved how at the end Impulse just showed Grian's messages and played that clip of Grian morning at the end. I was laughing so hard

[@Sganarell]

''scar is an enabler'' Impulse didn't know how true that was yet

[@RandyPrimus]

TNT duping: What would Etho do? What would Tango do? What would Doc do?

[@gauthamarun3878]

Etho and Tango don't like using it. Doc's okay with it. If I matter then I don't mind it either

[@theAstarrr]

20:38 I mean, I know Grian is ok with this and you guys are having fun, but for those reading this, in general there is a line that you don’t want to step over. Don’t force your friends to do stuff they aren’t comfortable with yet. Some people move slowly and people really shouldn’t be forced to move quickly with certain things (unless they ask you to keep them on track)

[@mexicanPANa]

Wow much wisdom do share more 👁👄👁 - fr guy I think we all have common sense and aren’t sociopaths. Sounds like someone hurt you bud.

[@theAstarrr]

@@mexicanPANa I’m just trying to let people know not do to do this to their friends. It’s gonna be seen as ok by lots of people viewing these Hermitcraft episodes, as “just another thing that happened between friends”. Which it is, if people understand that they’re all joking and having fun together and not being so serious.

[@KalonOrdona2]

25:40 i: "Scar's an enabler." Gem: "Yeah..." I dunno, I just loved that :D

[@greymouse451]

You need to organize the hermits to be active behind Grian's build, that way everyone is seeing the back. Maybe a TCG arena overlooking the back of Grian's base?

[@gardenshed6043]

In Doc’s latest video he mentioned talking to a Minecraft developer and saying they wanted to patch out update suppression quickly before it becomes a feature like TNT duping that is so beloved by the community that there would be backlash if they patched it. So I don’t think TNT duping will ever be patched. It is likely forever a feature. You might as well use it. That can at least make a farm fully automatic. Not having to constantly top up TNT.

I really liked the editing at the end, with the discord message and the dramatic music and grians voice. It was top-notch!!

[@cooldawg5575]

Honestly if the stuff with you, gem and scar making grian results in a war you should fight by only doing the backs of things.

[@BYOBando]

Grian's perfect "I don't wanna; I hate you!" angsty teenager moment at 25:22 was amazing.

[@coatduck]

re: tnt duping I think the thing that makes the game fun in technical projects like this, is complexity and automation. I think this is a really good example, because you're trying to break clay. There's currently no way to farm sand. You either go into a desert and dig for several hours to make tnt, or you dupe sand. So now instead of digging clay, you're digging sand. Granted, digging the sand on it's own is more efficient, and going purely based on blocks being dug, more efficient by a rather substantial amount, but that's not counting the time running around collecting sand, vs digging a big block of clay in one spot, travel to the desert, messing with shulker boxes, crafting, etc. I won't deny that, even all those things considered, it's probably still faster to make a few stacks of tnt than it is to dig the clay manually. But we come back to complexity and automation. Digging sand instead of digging clay isn't really automation, it's just increased efficiency of the non-automated task you're doing. A tnt duper is both completely automated, and more complex to build. Basically, I won't feel guilty about tnt duping until there's a way to reliably farm sand, and I still won't feel guilty about using duping in flying machines until we can move dispensers

[@gristen]

the discord screenshot at the end is so good lmao

[@Enzoss100]

16:12 - Literally the most satisfying ImpuseSV timeline i have ever watched i have been watching this channel since 2020, and this timelapse in particular, is the most satisfying to watch for some reason

[@whitefang1657]

My opinion on tnt duping is that as long as we don't have movable tile entities, it's a valid feature; it's the only way to make tunnel bores and the like.

[@kotlcthoughts2725]

Impulse totally accidentally foreshadowed when he said it would really suck if his red stone blew up😂

[@SierraNight]

Uno reverse lol He blew up his own redstone too 😂

[@sebbes333]

*@impulseSV* *_23:11_**_ Prank Grian:_* Move his "chest monsters" & smelting & whatnot, to the back of his base, so Grian HAS to see his base's back side all the time :D (so it is no linger just "for the SAKE of it".)

[@evernoob]

You 3 should just finish the back of his base for him. With all the obsidian, magenta glazed terracotta, sculk shriekers, mud, wool, and wood you can imagine. Just a giant box. Be fun watching him have to take it down.
