Dropper Clocks & Auto Blast Furnace! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide (1.18 Tutorial Lets Play) [S2E86]

[@humourlessjester3584]

Love how the dripstone base is almost becoming Pixandria 2.0, especially that dripstone caves are almost made for copper farming with all the raw copper around and with the farmable lava mechanic and even drowned spawning if we might someday dabble at that.

[@Pixlriffs]

If we had updated Empires SMP to 1.18 (which was never the plan, but plans change!) I was secretly hoping Pixandria would have a dripstone cave generating underneath it.

[@sourpatchpanda68]

I could totally see Pixandria having that dripstone cave under it. Let's say Pixandria already does have the cave under it. Keeping that story alive even though that story had an end to it.

[@lukebeich]

10:00 to avoid the issue of the pistong repeatedly firing, you could also extend the circuit by adding a repeater after the comparator and introducing a delay. That would keep the signal "on" long enough to avoid the piston retracting every time.

[@tejomayoke4522]

YEAH EXACTLY!!

[@sanyeet]

Maybe use acacia trapdoors for the water stream because it kinda looks like copper and makes the water stream look more industrial and compact.

[@theboxygenie]

Oh I just scrapped a small pipeline idea because I couldn't figure out what type of copper to use to get that size and colour. Turns out it wasn't copper after all

[@Ferrastar]

A good alternative that I saw for the dropper clock (can’t remember if it was Impulse or Tango) is to change the output of the comparator so that rather than going into the vertical sticky piston and observer you feed it into a repeater at full delay, and then add a line of redstone going into a solid block with a sticky piston and observer point back to the first observer… in this arrangement the repeater extends the pulse enough so that items slowly entering the dropper doesn’t cycle the observer clock and it stays on

[@UnigirlTx]

I don't know who started it but I just saw XbCrafted last episode and he did this.

[@Ferrastar]

@@UnigirlTx ah yep that could have been it. I watched their three eps together; thought it was Impulse or Tangos, but could have been XB’s

[@respectrealperson290]

The more I watch your series Pixlriffs the more I learn. Your encouraging me to try red stone builds. Didn't think that was possible. Thanks for the great tutorial's you do. I'm going to keep watching!!!

[@AspieGamer13]

For water pipes, I like how acacia trap doors look, even when having to bulk it up slightly for the ice blocks

[@brianeibert1647]

I always love your videos. They are a great way to start my day with a cup of coffee (I'll save the tea for your livestreams). I am glad that it still seems like you are having fun doing it too. Thanks again!

[@02bigkev]

That explanation of dropper clock was so good, It helped me understand comparators a bit better was well. Thx Pix

[@ZigmasMallol]

Loved the idea of the empty fuel lamps... Prob gonna use that on my base 👍 Thanks!!!!

[@meiliquadrospereira9797]

i am loving to watch this huge david come together and cant wait to build my own david

[@SecMem]

thank you for taking the time to explain the pro's and con's of each dropper clock!

[@secdoover]

I just moved to playing Java from Bedrock recently and your videos have helped me so much in seeing and understanding the differences and similarities between the two different redstone mechanics {and basic mechanics in your other videos}. Greatly appreciate your work!

[@alexeschen1849]

For the Dropper clock with observers I like to add two repeaters. A two tick and a three tick. Then a solid block. Turn the stick piston horizontal on top of the block pushing the observer over the repeaters. Will stay on with a single hopper feed. Love your content!

Finally inspired me to build that dropper clock/ice line to pull items from our farming complex to our storage system. Works like a charm! Wonderful useful episode as always.

[@starlordmixtape1576]

Thank you so much for explaining the WHY behind redstone contraptions, it really is helpful.

[@josephkim6688]

I absolutely love dropper clock. Very important in Bedrock edition because of the trident killer. Almost all mob farm that uses trident killer will need a dropper clock to burn/destroy any excess item you get like armors/bows and etc.

[@darkskull1-132]

For the most part you're totally right about magenta glazed terracotta, but looking at it in your build I think if you used slabs (maybe purpur?) on the floor to cover the bottom half of the arrow on its side, it could make an interesting baseboard in some kind of purple/pink color palette 🤓 not my kind of build style but I'm sure it could work for somebody like Katherine or Gem 😂 also, one thing I thought to add to the project this episode is a second item transport to send the empty buckets from the blast furnace array back to the lava farm, so you can easily refill them without having to carry the buckets yourself 😎

[@eloquentornot]

This is cool, I think dropper clocks are one of those things I've seen many times but never really paid enough attention to notice!

[@erickmatthew6033]

The purple, green and gold go well together! It reminds me of Mardi Gras. I’m from New Orleans.

[@angryhob0z]

Using an item sorter to pull out the empty buckets from the Blast Furnace output and then another dropper clock to send them back up a bubble column next to the lava input chest would complete the system making it as automated as possible :) That would also be a good way to demonstrate the dropper clock outputting items at hopper speed for the chest/hopper up by the lava farm to pickup the empty buckets!

[@norbucso]

The ice block can spawn monsters in the water channel. Make sure it's lit up or packed ice so it won't melt. I found a few bones and rotten flesh in the filter system in mine. That's how i found out about it. So adequate light can prevent mobs coming in.

[@nelsonbrum8496]

If the water transport system is only one block high, you shouldn't have to worry about mobs spawning. If you feel like you need to have maintenance access to the water ways, use trapdoors on top of the water ways.

[@carrionmywaywardsun]

Thanks Pix! I recently made a ton of farms with pipes everywhere, but made all observer clocks and it’s crazy noisy!

[@_Abjuranax_]

Yes. Orange, Green, and Purple are a Secondary Color Triatic Color Scheme. Red, Yellow, and Blue is also a Triatic Color Scheme, but with Primary Colors. Hey, I didn't get a Degree in Art for nothing, lol.

[@robertwenzler8804]

for collecting lava buckets and eventually tossing them on the ground: use minecart hopper along your collection path and let it be sent to a chest

[@kestrelgaming554]

All hail The Copper King, truly brilliant 👏

[@kannaevuri7588]

Hey pix, remember the conduits and coral episode, let me point out that I play bedrock edition and I realised that coral can be farmed on bedrock edition. You place down one piece of coral and bone meal around it. I was so eager to tell you after finding out.

[@troybradford856]

I use the horizontal version for my trash bins at mob farms e.g. once I get Infinity, theres no need for all those arrows from a skelly spawn farm, so once I fill up a double chest of arrows, any extra just go into a chest that feeds into a dropper which then spits the items into lava =)

[@Raining4rain]

Far out pix, you are so underrated

[@hannahverhaal1131]

I have watched many survival guides in my time, but tip of the top, cream of the crop, its pix's survival guide and there we stop! 😃😃😃

[@gautham5192]

You are OG man Keep it up

[@sigmoid_function]

When you said dropper clock, I thought it was going to be about the dropper version clock similar to hopper clock or comparator clock... Hope to see you covering them in future episodes XD

[@yk_King2811]

Maybe he made one for the mob farm

[@malloryjenkins4576]

"I like having the magenta glazed terracotta" a sentence no one has ever said before in the history of minecraft

[@mattrb1701]

Could you build an overflow pipe with a bubble elevator that would return the extra lava up and around to a point before the blast furnaces so you don't have to deal with manually grabbing the extras?

[@MrAshleyR]

Next up, you could do an item filter for buckets on the output chest, so the empty buckets are fed to a water elevator back to the surface.

[@acegaming0124]

Great build almost thought this was FTB

[@Der_Ed]

Ok, hear me out. Add an item sorter to separate out the buckets and automatically move them back up again to a chest next to the lava bucket drop off chest. You could even add an lava bucket overflow to the same return system so if there's too many, they'll just come back up

[@thestarwarsmusiccomposer3491]

0:53 I usually use them in builds

[@rekc_bcq4816]

Magenta glazed terracotta? Scar is going to be upset

[@dazzmead]

Great video, really like the tutorials and explanations of why things work and don't it's helpful. Could you not go one further and collect the lava from the farm automatically? And feed it into the dropper to send down to the smelter? 👍

[@Pixlriffs]

Lava can't be collected automatically. I covered that in the lava farm video, but I can see how it would've been useful to explain here! Dispensers can't pull liquids out of cauldrons, you just end up burning the bucket.

[@dazzmead]

@@Pixlriffs I remember what I was thinking of when I wrote this, Mumbo did a lava farm in season 8 but it involed a piston feed tape of cauldrons and a full inventory of empty buckets so that when collected the full lava bucket would pop out into a dispenser to collect. 👍

[@brandonwc]

Need a sorter on the output and a bubble column to send the empty buckets back up.

[@classicdansmith]

The Copper King lives!

[@dantreadwell7421]

And the fact the pipe looks like something out of Super Mario makes no never mind.

[@M0U53B41T]

So you can't use a hopper on the cauldron to pull out the lava?

[@emmanuelrosal3910]

Sir I reply like your vid because when I'm 6 years old Im always watching your bids in that time and now I'm 11 I'm always watch😊

[@Ghryst]

i still fdont get this shift-click bizzo.. it just doesnt work for me.. hold down shift and click (right or left, middle click does nothing) just moves one item, on pc java edition

[@buzzzysin]

How fast can you say "copper block dropper clock" ?

[@tydesilompe2908]

Is this contraption compatible with bedrock?

[@danielrhouck]

11:36 Why are you putting redstone on a block that naturally occurs in the area? You usually point out why thatʼs a bad idea.

[@Pixlriffs]

Because I'm pretty confident I don't plan on changing those blocks. That's a dripstone feature I built myself, and I'm not planning on digging underneath that area.
