[@Rippertear]

Maybe because stone is stiffer than wood? If you push a stone, it will bend less, and it will spring back very quickly, but if you push wood, it will bend more and will take longer to spring back. Since the button clearly springs back of its own accord, and it's only made of wood or stone respectively, it mush have a spring made of wood or stone inside.

My theory is that, as visually represented in the game, the bamboo planks are actually dry bamboo as opposed to the green one from the block of bamboo, so it has lost the mass from the water it contained, and also since bamboo is hollow, to make a plank you'd need to fill in the gaps.

[@andrewkrahn2629]

I do woodworking with fresh-cut wood. Often for certain specific uses, you have to use a specific part of a tree. Maybe the average wood/stone block in Minecraft is good enough for building material, but is too knotty/has too many micro-fractures to be used in a button that needs to give a reliable output and stand up to a lot of wear (a club, for example, lasts longest when it's made from something heavy like apple wood, but specifically from the root ball of a sapling)

To be fair, in real life mining and manufacture, you are gonna end up with some unusable waste materials, especially if what you are working with is pretty complicated.

Here's my interpretation: The bamboo -> stick recipe is basically tying bamboo pieces end-to-end, and the stick retains its strength. Bamboo blocks -> planks splits and unrolls the bamboo segments into thinner, weaker pieces, so in order to create sticks of the same durability, the split pieces must be layered parallel to each other and bound, possibly using fibers from the bamboo itself.

In my personal datapack mod, I have it so the crafting recipe for stairs gives 6 instead of 4. While 8 would increase parity with how much space the stair occupies, three complications: 1. The amount of volume a stair occupies changes with connections to other stairs, making it an inconsistent measurement method. 2. I don't think there's any way to alter the number of stairs outputted by stonecutter recipes, so I opted for parity with stairs-via-stonecutter instead. 3. Unless you're using it for something decorative like a house roof, under normal circumstances you'll likely use stairs at a 1:1 ratio with the blocks you're sparing yourself the hassle of jumping over, so getting as many stairs as there are blocks in the recipe is a reasonable conversion to settle for. Given your musings however, I agree that buttons should be more efficient given their simplicity, and I might even add that to my datapack mod now that I've seen this. That said, I think I'd lean towards 8, 12, or 16 buttons for balance purposes, going full realism and turning a single block into well over a stack of buttons might be a tad excessive.

I actually found something out about the bamboo recently. I’m unsure if anybody else knows but bamboo has a set placement. Doesn’t matter how many times you remove and replant it will stay in that corner and where you’re facing doesn’t change it. BUT there is a challenge with this though. I’m yet to find a block which the bamboo aligns perfectly in the center 😂

[@tommylmao_]

same thing with lily pads

[@1e1001]

yup, many things are based on block-position randomness, including texture rotations and most plants

[@masterpiece1817]

The button is actually heavily compressed. When you click it to activate redstone, the button is releasing energy from being compressed.

In my option, from 1 block you should get 1 stair and a lot of buttons so when you are building roof you get full inventory of termites Plus you should get a lava bucket togetrid ofthe buttons and a netherite sword to kill mobs cuzwhrn u was doing all this, it became night.

Bamboo logs are actually useful. Everyone now has a bamboo farm and combining the bamboo saves you a lot of time and space.

The button is the wood/stone compressed, so it is basically a blackhole and thats how it generates redstone signal.

[@Litterbugtaylor]

This is why i just collect bamboo and make sticks saving both wood and bamboo

[@axolotl_princess]

Stairs should give you 6 because it’s not like you have magic glue that can stick the sawed off parts together to make more stairs The stone cutter also does 1:1 for stairs too

[@1stCallipostle]

Yeah, sticking two things together with seemingly no binder in Minecraft? What a SILLY idea! Imagine if they predicated the entire game on that

[@lewismassie]

The first part is kinda good fun, but this kinda math regularly allows me to make infinite generators in some modpacks because they overlook certain recipes (or ones added by other mods).

[@CloudColumncat]

1:22 To be fair, maybe one piece of bamboo was used to secure the carved bamboo to the block instead of nails, so it wouldn't be strange if they removed it. So, when we separate it again, one piece of bamboo is gone as it is no longer useful.

[@Gega_r]

​@@trphoenix_.Steve compresses the leftover materials and makes a black hole out of them,that works as a redstone signal.

[@Randomrainfrog]

I already figured out this stuff in my own survival world, but I didn’t think anything else of it aside from “guess that’s how I’ll craft my sticks”

[@SemiHypercube]

in conclusion, Steve just loves eating the crafting recipes and that's why they disappear all the time

[@tatashie]

Now I want a data pack that changes recipes to their accurate versions.

[@drathonix9930]

My least favorite recipe is the hanging sign. Not only does it require stripped logs, yet still appears to be made of planks, it also requires 1 2/9 of an Iron Ingot. And the Wood-to-sign ratio is actually half that of regular signs. Why mojang. Why.

@@sethsmith2608yes it does man

1:27 glad im not the only person who noticed this

[@lucasyoungers]

From a rough estimate, 1 block is 16^3 cubic pixels, and a button is probably something like 60 cubic pixels. That would put it at 68 pixels and change, or just a stack if we wanted to round to a nice minecraft number.

[@Set_your_handle0-0]

3:52 It’s 8 x 3 x 3 so 72 buttons Edit: I didn’t realize you did the math

[@seeegol]

PoonoxSC cracking up over the bad math joke was exactly what I needed in my life

[@josh_blocks]

With how strong Steve is I am not surprised if he does compress it to a single button

[@Litt1eHuia]

For the button Steve just compresses it so much that tiny Redstone particles are able to activate giving it its Redstone ability.

[@Hvvb-lf2nd]

Actually,i have a theory about the bamboo case:the 9th bamboo from the bamboo block probably got bamboo-zled

[@Ceereeal]

Someone should make a “matter conservation” mod where the stairs recipe gives you 8 stairs and changes the button’s size to 8x4x2 pixels so the crafting recipe can give you a stack per block (since it would be weird to give a player more than one stack of an item in a single recipe).

[@pancakeperson8905]

data packs and addons can do this. Look at Vanilla Tweaks if you want more stairs.

[@Shako_Lamb]

Even better would just be to change the stair recipe to just 3 blocks in an L shape in my opinion.

[@Liggliluff]

@@Shako_Lamb I agree. 3 blocks for 4 stairs is good They can keep the old recipe, since it's exactly twice the number of blocks, and it would give 8 stairs, for people who are used to it.

The most tragic crafting recipe is the banner, I should know, I build castles all the time and decorate with them 6 wool blocks = 1 thin layered banner

[@sepbasdav]

practically speaking 6 planks to get 2 trapdoors is way more infuriating then buttons or pressure plates imo

[@KodaDogwood]

The button model in the crafting menu is 4 by 4 by 6 pixels, or 96 square pixels. There are 4096 square pixels in a block, so you could get 42.667 buttons if you didn't lose any material

[@OneCokeAndDrink]

Perhaps it should be changed to 1 block = 64 buttons. Some material gets lost whilst trying to craft, but 64 is natural to mc, gives you plenty of buttons and would probably be the best compromise

[@ScheerFilms]

*Trapdoor recipe has left the chat*

[@PieletPi]

The rest of the block to make the button actually goes into the block you place it on, Steve is able to make wood and stone give the ability to power redstone and open entire doors. It just takes an entire mechanical system within the block he puts it on, and the space it takes up is more than half the block you used so he can only use one block at a time for it.

[@chickendoodle32]

1:18 Yes, the shaping and reshaping of bamboo into uniform blocks, then into sticks, is less efficient than turning bamboo into sticks directly. I think it’s fine.

[@namelesso2528]

[@Beanman5885-hs7yc]

For the button recipe, you compress the cubic meter of wood into how much the button is, this supercharges the atoms and makes redstone work
