Minecraft Bedrock: Easy ANCIENT DEBRIS Tunnel Bore Tutorial! 50% Less TNT! MCPE Xbox PC Ps4

[@silentwisperer]

**UPDATE!** The recent 1.19 updates changed something! So now you need to change the spearhead of the bomber 9:10. You need to remove the slab above the dispenser, and then you need 7 lower slabs, 1 solid block, then 1 ancient debris on the spearhead :) Thanks for watchin! Consider subscribing, it really helps out the channel! :D I forget to mention this while editing, but the intro footage is sped up for demo, of course. Otherwise this is a very solid tunnel bore and I have big plans to use this myself too! :D Want to tunnel bore in the overworld? My first tutorial would work better! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmquc62sfs-JiKs

Could you specify what’s going wrong

[@danschmidt6206]

If you are finding this on 1.20.1, the correct modification to the spear and dispenser is to leave the half slab above the dispenser (upper half placement, not lower half) and then shorten the spear to 3 half slabs, 1 full-sized block and then the ancient debris at the tip. I tried the pinned comment of removing thr slab above the dispenser for 1.19 and shortening the spear, but this led to inconsistent tnt launch distances. It would overshoot as well as undershoot, and rarely ever land on the edge of the ancient debris, leading to tons of rebuilding and mining needed to fix things. Now with the half slab above rhe dispenser as well as the shorter spear, I get the expected results of the tnt landing on the edge of the ancient debris. Every once and a while I get some realm lag blowing up parts of the machine, but its waaaay better than following the 1.19 pinned comment in 1.20.1

1.21 I just built it this way in creative and it worked once then failed to shoot the TNT destroying the dispenser area. I fixed this by moving the slab above the dispenser back up to where Silent has it in the video, but also by using your 3 slab long, 1 solid block, 1 ancient debris spear. It's working now

That’s actually really smart to have a long, extended plank out front with a TNT-resistant block, then have the TNT launched out just far enough that the block absorbs the blast, all while keeping it away from the machinery.

[@lygencore]

Yeah, that's one of the different ways of doing a tnt tunnel bore : either you play on timings to launch the tnt at the exact right moment for it to explode mid-air, either you pop the tnt trough a blast protected wall or the easiest solution of launching the tnt on a blast protected block (that's the best of the 2 world : don't really care about the timings, don't need so much ancient debris or anvil and huge blast radius)

Built/rebuilt this with the latest updates June 27, no upper slab, double slab, 5 slabs, then double slab then two ancient debris. Usually lands on the end as per the design, occasionally lands a block behind possibly due to stuff on the roof. Thumbs up from me. I replaced the target block with a trapped chest as my bow and arrows have enchantments and was causing all sorts of pulse issues depending on the redstone output from the 8:48 target block depending on my accuracy.

Works perferctly with the changes. Two shots to set the machine after its built. Then load the machine. After the TNT has fired thd next time you shoot the target block you wait until its moved and the dispenser clicks, pretty much a reload. Great work again. 👏

[@sweeneyliu6054]

Made a little bit tweaks to this design in my own survival world and works like a charm: Game Verison: 1.20.12 on Windows 11 KEEP the upper slab above the tnt dispenser as well as those 5 slabs in front of the dispenser, then replace the solid block with one debris, AND place two more debris next that one, that way the spearhead is 100% blast-proof (tnt usually lands on the third debris BUT sometimes it lands on the second or even the first one)

[@paulbuck8876]

The Feb 2023 Minecraft update requires a small modification for this to work in Bedrock survival. For the nose, instead of 5 single slabs before the double slab and Ancient Debris, use only 3 single slabs. When running it, it is critical to ensure that the undersides of the machine(s) do not come into contact with any block or else it breaks.

[@FritzFreund]

Yeah, I'm running into an issue where it just barely falls off the end. I'm going to be messing with it a bit to see if I can figure out a way to keep it on the tip.

[@highoncatnip_]

3 slabs to a block nowadays, not 5

[@FritzFreund]

@@highoncatnip_ I just added another AD to the end of it. Do you mean 3 slabs, then a block, then AD at the end? It would fly right past the end. at least on my realm it would. But I'll test.

[@viridiandeer9230]

I know it's been a long time since the video was published, but KZbin recently recommended this video to me, which made me remember that at the time I made my own design and that it seems simpler and requires fewer materials, it would be a pleasure to show you the design. Keep the good work man.

[@joshuaseideman5694]

In addition to the helpful tip that all blocks around it need to be eliminated (including under the observer), I found using snowballs instead of arrows on the target block helped. The arrows were interacting with the slime blocks and observers in some weird glitchy mechanic that caused multiple signals per arrow.

[@joehobo6039]

If you place the target block on top like he does in the video then the arrow can get stuck in the target block and cause multiple signals be sent through. I like the idea of using snowballs, though. Saves durability on my Bowcephus

[@greysonfloyd8018]

Lol bowcephus! Yes thank you, I think he uses snowballs in the video too, but for some reason the thought never occurred to me. I did shoot the back of the target block a couple of times and it would launch the arrow to the front of the entire machine and land in the blast zone instead of falling down like it should. Unrelated and a very minor inconvenience but I am using a mending bow, and it shall forever be named bowsephus now. Thank you. Also switching to snowballs.

[@lakryth8741]

This breaks so much more often than the last design I feel like. It’s great in theory to save tnt but I’m having to rebuild it every ten minutes because one out of five times it doesn’t bounce the tnt. Even when it’s built correctly, it will work for maybe a few blasts and then the tnt will always get stuck and not bounced to the front.

[@hvpon]

Same

[@brandonsavage7331]

Make sure that the front most module (the one with the slime tower) is not contacting the ground or it will not move forward.

[@joehobo6039]

I never tried the previous version (kinda new to MC) but I originally made this two modules wide on my realm and never had an issue. With four wide modules, the only time I had issues was either when I’d miss a block in its path or when I let somebody else drive and they wouldn’t let the entire machine go through its cycle before activating it again. I’ve built a new one now, and I realized it fits perfectly within 3 chunks, so I built it within those borders. Hopefully that helps negate any desyncing, not that I’ve had a problem with that, but I’ve also had to shorten the spearhead to 3 slabs instead of 5. Idk what changed in the update, but if it’s any more than 3 slabs, it blows up the spearhead

[@FangWolfie]

Probably a lag problem

[@NoNameArxy]

Agreed

[@TJ_Sealegs]

So I built this and it worked flawlessly but I think something changed with the 1.19.6 update bc dispensers received some changes. Now the tunnel bore is launching tnt either too far or not far enough. It could just be on my end but I wanted to put this out there if it is true so maybe we can get an updated version.

I have already built your first tunnel bore and now you have a new version of it! It's awesome!

[@noahseilo1404]

I just built this and it works. But there’s a few things. I tried the fix in the pinned comment and many others to see what worked best. I can definitely say that 5 slabs, solid block, and 2 ancient debris at the end is the only thing that’s consistent. This is definitely a manual machine as well. Blackstone does not blow up like netherack does, so you will need to mine it manually if it gets in the way. You have to plug up all of the lava sources that get in the way. You also just have to keep in mind that the slime blocks cannot touch anything or it will break, including the connecting arms. So you will need to constantly fix/check it before each run, which is not very efficient. Also this is definitely a late game farm, as you will need a lot of tnt and slime blocks if you want to make it big (I made mine 6 long). So I highly suggest making a creeper and slime farm before even considering this. Otherwise, great build.

[@minercraftal]

I really like your design concept about double and triple piston extender, and your design is really clean, simple and efficient as well. And I just tried your extender on my timing lunching tnt machine, and I noticed that with double extender, the ceiling exposure was 3~4 blocks lower, the tunnel floor was about 1~2 blocks higher, well, seems the guess I heard from imango of gapping timing for tnt machine doesn’t really improve efficiency by that much, it do have benefits when you don’t need the tunnel to be so high tho XD And the triple extender didn’t work well too, the hole becomes too small that my machine can’t flying through, as well as the basalt has a higher blast resistance and stopped the machine XD

[@minercraftal]

Opps, seems the recent update made it working differently now, it need 1 more piston stroke for the dispenser be able to actually send out the tnt now, need to try add 1 more piston strokes on the top line to make it work.

[@fredarmstrong6418]

First, I want to to say that Silent does a GREAT job with his tutorials and KZbin content in general - I love this guy, and will continue to watch his channel.... But this particular build was (for me) the worst experience. Hopefully the experience for others is better. (I would not think any of it matters, but I am running on a self hosted server with a simulation distance of 6 chunks and a current gen, moderately powerful, Windows gaming laptop. At the time of my attempt the game version is 1.19.50). What I saw was the TNT exploding the boom extension roughly 1/3 of the time - and as I used 3 modules, that meant repairing something after each explosion. Secondly, the target block appears to be causing the arrows to mess up the timing (moving it to the bottom had no effect), so about 1/2 the time the device moved 2 block instead of one, and then the TNT would sometimes fire every other launch, sometimes every four, and occasionally just never. After repairing and even rebuilding the modules time and time again, I estimated that I spent roughly 15 minutes for every 10 blocks I moved forward. Ultimately I decided that bed explosions, while painful, are far less frustrating and so I abandoned this little project.

[@sagebecker8157]

Update 1.20.1 did something to the mechanics. I've tried this build plus many other YT tunnel bore builds. The machine doesn't move forward and the TnT wont shoot forward and blows up the build. The machine was free floating so there weren't any blocks to get hung up on.

As far as I can tell this machine no longer works, the double piston extenders just collapses in on each other eventually, and it starts to ignite tnt every single time you shoot the target.

[@Xhyllos1]

heh this is a lot of troubles. I tried this, and there's always something that breaks. Between tnt that doesn't shoot up correctly half the time and ghasts that start spawning once a bit of an area is cleared and they keep shooting bombs at me while I'm next to the machine, I had to repair it every other arrow. I think I'll stick to blowing up beds. It's way faster than having to stop and repair for 15 minutes after every tnt shot. Tnt would either overshoot or undershoot. If it overshoots, it drops down in front of the spear and blows the ground up instead of blowing up the front so the machine can move up. So I had to dig the top half of the path with a pickaxe anyway. If it undershoots, well, you can guess what happens. It's an interesting piece of engineering, but for me, it was very unreliable.

Is there still an issue with this? Or is the trapped chest the only solution?

[@fernandoquant]

@@tylercross3578 I haven't changed it since. Trapped chest underneath has been perfect for me, and it's actually easier to activate

[@joehobo6039]

@@tylercross3578 target block works fine. Although I have had to adjust the spearhead after the last update. 5 slabs is too long. Had to use 3 slabs instead

[@Pablo2204_]

it still works just put 3 slabs at the end instead if 5

[@jacobstowe9021]

it works still for me, however I altered the design to help TNT go where it needs to by shortening the slabs in front by two and added 2 more ancient debris so there's no chance of it landing on the slabs.

[@TraillRunner]

I think 1.19.60 broke this..... It used to work perfect. The tnt would rest right on the end of the second ancient debri, but now it either over shoots it or falls short and lands someplace on one of the slabs..... Please Help!!!

[@MattyBGAMINGUK]

Add another ancient debris at the end

[@TraillRunner]

@@MattyBGAMINGUK I added an additional slab to accomplish pushing the ancient debri out one more..... That didn't work. I'll give the 3rd ancient debri a try.

Ah yes, a reason to make the Ghast farm. I'm sold.

First time watching 🤯🤯🤯 Many time watching 👌😄

[@gpcubing123]

Didn't work, it just explodes itself and i checked my redstone a thousand times. Sometimes it just breaks so badly i need to build a new one.

[@radymay3566]

Dude you’re my favorite minecraft youtuber❤❤

[@EtnoZam]

It no longer works and as some mentioned it indeed blows itself up now after a 2-3 good moves. I've built this machine in my realm with 2 extensions back at 1.20.2 and it worked perfectly. I mined a distance of 1000 blocks flawless picking up a ton of netherite then I left it for a while and only came back to it today to find out it no longer works and after few moves the TNT randomly gets stuck on the dispenser as if the command to dispense it only occurs after the front unit starts to move so it isnt bumped forward. It happens sporadically for no apparent reason after 2-3 times that it did work properly and I've rebuilt it several times just to be sure there was no blockage or anything else. Beautifull build though and did its work before the update that ruined it ❤👍

[@MattyBGAMINGUK]

1.19.60 has broken this as others have explained. The TNT goes too far because Mojang have butched gravity blocks. Simple fix is to put another ancient debris on the end. It's not as efficient but still fixes the issue

[@หน่องไก่-ฒ2ล]

You can use loyalty trident to activate this machine instead of infinity bow. trident is a little bit cheaper and it can put mending on it.

[@stonks6069]

thats not a bad idea, and you can throw it at ghasts too lol

[@GothBoyUK]

Oooh, I was thinking to myself 'I wonder if it can fire every third block' and then you said it. Psychic link between the Goth and the Zombie Pig confirmed. 😂

[@Kussso]

great farm silent i appreciate it! never had an issue with any of your farms not working. (besides your 2x2 spruce tree farm bc it lagged my game and wouldn’t work😂, but that’s my fault not yours)❤

[@austinburgess5854]

Thoughts on if this would work for boring overworld for diamonds?

[@HerbieFullyChoded]

Love the channel. Definitely building this. Would it be possible to connect a note block, hoppers, and chests to have allays collect any quarts or gold that break as it goes along?

[@silentwisperer]

yea you could setup something like that for auto collection:)

[@HerbieFullyChoded]

@@silentwisperer awesome. I might to work on that soon

[@D0M6443]

My TNT doesn’t shoot forward. It stays on top of the dispenser and the machine blows itself up

[@ishansharma5289]

I tried building but it shoots the tnt at random distance, tried changing to 3 slabs, 4 slabs, 5 slabs, 6 slabs, 7 slabs. Nothing works. I think rather than building this I will simply strip mine and place tnt all over then blow it up.

[@X-treme_]

Hey Silent I want to tell you that... It works perfectly fine😅I don't believe that I got 9 ancient debris in less than 20 minutes😍 Thank you very much 😊

[@SilentRunning413]

I really wanted to build this with 6 modules but ended up accidentally making a ghast farm, they don't care about torches so I'm pretty much screwed, plus I don't want them to destroy the machine while it's activated so I guess 3 modules will do. I've also learned the hard way from your previous Ghast farm that capturing them in minecarts completely lags the entire area, making the game basically unplayable, so there's that lol.

[@XconeArtist]

Built your previous one, and while TNT hungry, it did work great. The problem I have is not with the bore, but with the amount of mobs that spawn in the open area the bore leaves behind. At some point I was able to move the bore only 1 block every 5 minutes because of all the ghasts that kept spawning and repairs I had to do because of them. Ofc. I can slab the area, but that replaced one kind of manual work with even more other manual work; so pretty much beats the purpose. I'm back to regular TNT mining. It's more manual mining, but less manual fighting. Ultimately, I get more AD with less distractions that way. If you ever figure out a way to avoid spawns in the nether with minimal effort, ... please make a tutorial on that. Perhaps then I can get back to using a bore.

[@raleighhulse5186]

Set up the machine in warped Forrest biome

[@XconeArtist]

@@raleighhulse5186 thank you for the reply. The problem is with using it, not with setting it up. When using it, it moves. So even if start there, ultimately i get to the point where the biome ends. So I dont immediately see how this solved the issue i have.

[@greysonfloyd8018]

Maybe try name tagging a bunch of villagers, turning them in to zombies, and put them in their very own flying machine taxi? Or chunk load a hostile mob switch using them?

[@Trob-1loz]

Lone the tutorial, but could you have posted it BEFORE I GOT A NETHERITE BEACON. Would have saved alot of time, beds, and tnt

[@silentwisperer]

you mad lad o.o

[@rustyknight6190]

This is very sweet and I wish I understood anything after "we're going start at the back of the machine" 🤣. I have no issue with design presented (it's very sweet and kudios to everyone involved in it's development), but I was mining for diamonds and the double extension doesn't work in the over world (okay, it works, it's just not efficient for the job). Now, I could do the smart thing and go back to the previous design, but where's the fun in that. So, after blowing myself up a few times, I was able to remove the "double extensions" component and it seems to work really nicely. I'll see how long it takes for my daughter to break it 🤪 I also replace the double slabs with sea lanterns so I could see where I was going

[@wontonw]

Would this work for overworld I’m trying to make a tunnel bore for the overworld.

[@terrencesamson3056]

So in ur comment about the 1.19 update it says u have to remove the upper slab above the dispenser and make the lower row slabs 7 with 1 solid block and 1 debris. But further in the comments they say (maybe cuz of the newest version) that u need 3 for the lower en the slab above the dispenser doesnt need to be removed. Do u know which one works better?

[@chunkster7305]

Can this work in the over world for mining diamonds too?

[@allensutton5390]

Very nice!

[@NemolkUnurez-gb5qm]

This works sooooo good just make sure that if youre in 1.19 or above make the changes from the pinned comment

[@JotaroKujo-ig3sj]

New to the channel, brilliant video just wondering if it works in overworld

[@silentwisperer]

the older version would be better for the overworld:)

@@silentwisperer so it doesn’t work for 1.19 overworld? If you have made a video on a machine to get diamonds in an auto-cave could you send me the link?

You roll in on the Nether with that bad boy, you don’t find ancient debris, the Nether yields it in submission. I love tunnel borers.

[@h-Films]

This doesn't work for me. The dispenser doesn't fire and then it gets pushed forwards

[@xx2co0l4uxx8]

I think the dispensers had a little change because the tnt dosnt go far enough anymore for me

[@Andrew-gt6qx]

Edit: Just don't shoot the back of the target block. It moves the entire bore more than once and throws off the placement of the tnt. Such a cool design, as always! I'm currently testing in creative. The full block before the ancient debris is getting blown up occasionally. Currently have Cobbled Deepslate there which has the same blast resistance as the smooth stone used in the video. Anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions?

[@joehobo6039]

After this last update, I’ve had to reduce the number of slabs at the front from 5 to 2. Also, slabs have a higher blast resistance than solid blocks. Use the two slabs as your solid block and you should be good. Good luck!

[@NoNameArxy]

I'm having this same issue
