Scicraft 2: Racing Donkey Breeding Setup (Episode 17)

[@tondrie5794]

I also absolutely love the skyblock series, but this is such a nice project! And i think mango loves working with the scycraft people. What a content machine has he been lately. I hope he enjoys this as much as we are. Don't feel pressured to keep this pace up, but i'll enjoy it whilst you do!

been subscribed since late 2015. No idea how many subs he had at the time, maybe a few thousand. I originally found his channel when I was looking for a vine farm and his was the only one on youtube that didn't suck (I was trying to make my own, with water streams pushing an upwards facing player, but that turned out to be extremely complex compared to just having a sidewards facing player. I did get it to work using slimeblock launchers to move the player vertically to avoid sideways movement in the wrong direction since vines are super narrow so realignment would be near impossible, but it wasn't super easily expandable and I'm not sure how reliable my design was anyway).

It looks like he recorded that after making the whole video, as at the end of the video he has the same xp again. So he probably afked at some xp farm after making the video, but before adding the final scene. OR he worked on the cactii xp farm@@Cakesbb

[@pizzapuntthomas]

he also has a different hotbar

[@Klero6869]

I love how mango cuts out killing few donkeys, but making actual machines for separating baby villagers and storing them for Redstone in one block is fine.

[@nickiosaurus6130]

For automatic taming: Force eject by dispensing water on your head. Use an AFK waterstream to drop u onto the next donkey, if you fall through the entity it won't matter where you are facing. Just an idea*

[@trevormichel6016]

you know, it's amazing that you've played minecraft for so many years, and still are finding passion projects, I loved it :)

[@NinF37]

Absolutely love these types of farms - ones that are made just for fun, but still serve a small purpose!

[@grayScaLe918]

31:57 you could try putting fences underneath the last water block so the donkeys get pushed up into the new stream

[@kendrikx51]

To automating the feeding: the bred donkey child could trigger a tripwire, which triggers a piston to shove a block between the player and the donkey so that the player just right-click spams the block. A clock could then retract after the breeding cooldown has expired. You can make multiple modules next to each other and seat the player into a minecart for full automation. Maybe dispensers on the ends of the rails for restocking the inventory?

[@The14Some1]

Ilmango, you could give donkeys some riders to prevent mounting.

[@BanakaiGames]

About mounting the donkeys: maybe you could design it in a way where if you mount it, they are in water so you will be kicked off the donkey (the only way I know how to remove the player from donkey)

[@elpepe3923]

this is such a cool series, keep up the great work

[@inzenyr1268]

You can use the iron trap door to prevent the player from mounting or giving the donkey more than one carrot. The system would only automatically open and close the iron trapdoor with the correct timing. thx for this video 🙂

[@BenCarnage]

This project got me excited. I always assumed Donkeys were limited to lower stats than horses. Not getting horse armor doesn't matter too much, the only dangers are things like lava where the armor might buy you a little more time to save the mount.

[@justlookaroundpeople]

Thanks for all the awesome content you're great!

[@BOTSamJ]

"Drive by breeding" some times the things you say just crack me up

[@tekt_real]

About the babies trying to get back to their parent! You can hide another donkey closer to the waterways so it paths to that one instead - they don't need line of sight to find them either!! If they still try to find the original parent, maybe a larger drop could work? I have bred 10000 horses in survival. My setup isn't quite as automatic and I am taking advantage of a client-side mod that tells you the speed of (un)tamed and even baby horses with a single click. I didn't go for a direct drop route with baby horses, but that seems to work with anvils. In my setup I have them standing on fences and the horse is surrounded in a 3x3 of fences. I then press a button to flush the baby horse away with water coming from above, as without it the baby horse and parent will stand inside each other. My personal fastest horse for now is around 13.47 m/s. Not getting a faster horse in 1000 breeding attempts is normal, I really dislike how Mojang made the breeding system :P Still have 1 m/s of improvement to go.

[@zedfalcon6972]

@ilmango you know what'd be really cool? semi-automatic improved donkey breeder: Use the donkey/end portal based dupe trick to copy the best donkey and avoid breeding cooldown. Have the player just holding right click and forward and build a system around the player to detect for slight improvements in speed, swapping out the best donkey each time.

[@olegil2]

I have no idea how your channel is so entertaining to watch, but I'm loving it!

[@Nephelangelo]

Changes I want to make to ridable mobs so they’re not so useless: 1. Horses should have a small 9 slot inventory space and be ridable by 2 players. 2. Donkeys, mules and llamas should have one full chest worth of inventory space. 3. Camels should have a full double chest of inventory space since they’re so slow. If Mojang made these changes people might actually start using these mobs.

[@ArmedSpaghet]

Making underwater rails sound so good rn

[@HTownIron832]

What about a sort of vertical design where the player drops in to the spot breeding is allowed and then trapdoors open and flush them back, up with bubbles, and over the zone again. A clock can control the timer that drops them in and then a piston pulses them to the side to tag the other donkey then the trapdoor opens. This could be stacked for multiple donkey levels and might not even need a timer except the very top section

[@Andrii-zc4dp]

There is an easy solution to your donkeys getting stuck: Just add fence under the last flowing water, so the donkey will be pushed up on top of the slab. Because this is just a comment, I will describe this in detail, because there may be another way of interpreting what I said. there is a block under the slab(crystal), to the left(against the water current) there is a solid block, replace it with a fence.

[@zkeletonz001]

The simplest solution would be to have a one block drop down every 6 or 7 blocks and make the whole thing one continuous water stream. You could put the breeder donkeys at whatever elevation you need them to be in order to make sure the end of the water stream is at the right Y level.

[@yiannchrst]

Sometimes, stupid projects are the funniest ones and most enjoyable!

[@Platypus_3112]

Instead of viewing the problem as preventing the player from mounting the donkey, you could view it as dismounting the donkey. Having the donkey submerged in water dismounts the player (or just click out of the donkey if that is possible). Completely detection based, no timings needed. Speed shouldn't be a big issue with the 5 min delay. And to test for taming you should be able to dispense a saddle onto them, or detect the lack of their AI when ridden maybe (might only be with saddle idk).

[@user-pw5do6tu7i]

Might be able to take advantage of the riding mechanic when breading. Instead of the water stream moving the player, feed ride (which tp you +2blocks) then you get a golden carrot. While riding that first donkey you feed the next, then ride that one. Would theoretically be cheaper on carrots, but the modules would be more work

[@DidaMinecraft]

Dude I was legit making an automated donkey breeder earlier today. This is awesome. On bedrock I was able to get both adult donkeys, even horses into one boat and breed them there too but I still think I like your set up more and might just switch over to it.

[@DidaMinecraft]

So I replaced what I had with this set up, however sadly they wouldn't breed through the wall. Had to revert to keeping them suspended over water, on top of a wall, and both in the same boat. I did put anvils on top of opened trap doors and still used the fence gates but placed them a block lower. Works like a charm for any curious bedrock players.

[@Kg-2343]

saddle farm one of the most unhelpful farms but shulkers full of saddles would be a beautiful sight. I mean think about it having a stuipid amount of saddles whenever you want, its perfect.

[@mitomon]

"We can already dispose of the donkeys that have only normal values. A bit unfortunate, but they won't help us anymore" lmao

[@reedworsham5643]

a solution to the donkey breeding mounting issue could be to have the clicking script only click once every few seconds, and maybe use pistons to move the player to the donkeys at the correct time. a slowed horizotnal piston bolt could work.

[@redstone_ranger]

For the breeding setup you could move the player with water and hold them in the middle while they are waiting to breed

[@twistit4844]

I've laughed way to hard at the un-stackableoverflow 😂

[@sethsmith2608]

when you are on scicraft: "well we used this beacon as a light source..."

[@ClapsBack]

For feeding the donkeys, couldn’t you just piston a block between you and the donkey that is pulled away every time they could be fed and then be pushed back to prevent you from feeding them more?

[@abtechgen2943]

I think the donkey breeding can be done by combining two previous setups We do the breeding part like in the afk panda sneeze slimeball farm and then let all the baby donkeys come to a single spot Then the storing part can be done like in the brown panda setup from the peaceful series

[@mikkelsvendsen]

You're my fav minecraft creator

[@antoinedouchet6380]

Maybe you could dispense a golden carrot to bread the donkey, and then dispense a falling block ( so you cant mount by rightclicking ) and after a 5min delay, a block is pulled in your sight by a piston, it makes you place the falling block ( that falls and get destroyed by a torch ), then you get dispensed a carrot again to bread again

[@NathanHaaren]

Ilmango, you should put walls or fences under the water streams, they push the donkeys up by half a block so they will get in the next stream easier

[@rolanddarcsi9907]

[@fireskorpion396]

To stop mounting the donkey you could use bot accounts that ride the donkeys. I don't know if it might stop the breeding process, but worth a try I think!

[@bruhbruh1606]

you could instead have a timed iron trap door infront of the player as they spam golden carrots. open it for a bit with a clock to breed the donkeys and then close it to keep from wasting carrots.

[@atomspalter2090]

lovely!

[@royalewithcheese17]

Maybe put a block shield between the afk player holding right clock and the donkeys that opens once every 5 minutes? Might still waste a few but far less than permanently feeding would

If you’re already riding a donkey or some other mount, won’t that stop you from mounting a new one?

Mojang needs to dramatically buff ridable mob inventory space. There is no justifiable reason why a donkey shouldn’t carry just as much inventory or more than a player. That is, after all, the whole point of using animals to transport items in real life.

Is there a reason you dont use signs instead of the amethest in the water stream for the babies? Does too many signs cause lag? Or do they get water logged now?

[@noahleahy9458]

goats

[@iusedtobegods]

What if the donkeys were on an oscillating water current? Like water flow pushed them past you in order, a single carrot was dispensed each time they crossed a string then the water current held them within breeding range of each other but past your reach and then after a cooldown timer the water current direction was reversed and then they passed again through a tripwire on the other side that dispensed a carrot? That way you’ll always have one or two extra carrots just in case the water current doesn’t move them fast enough, but it won’t be an egregious waste? Unsure how to sort out the babies from this set up tho

[@timeforboat]

Doesn't a fence/wall block under the tail end of a water stream help push up mobs floating over it? That might help the babies move into the holding cell better

What if you make it so you can mount the donkey then from the donkey you enter a boat or a mine cart. So it would be like give player one carrot, feed donkey, mount donkey, enter mine cart ,loop back around, dispense carrot, track shifts to next donkey, feed donkey, enter next mine cart and repeat

[@marksman754]
