Why you can't make a Perfect Circle with Beacons in Minecraft

if you say it looks stupid from every other angle from the center i personally think it looks cooler. The uniformity of the completely circular pattern feels not organic enough in my opinion.

[@NickC_222]

I feel like this kind of thing could almost be a numberphile video. This is a really cool lesson in perspective and why the idea of "perfection" is actually very subjective. Have you ever seen one of those sculptures that looks like a big chunk of nonsense, but shining a light on one side reveals that it casts a perfect shadow in the shape of a familiar object, and then shining a light at it from another angle casts a different shadow of a different familiar object? It's a fun way of playing with perspective. This video reminded me so much of that sort of thing. The way the circle looks careless and messy from almost any angle until you stand at the middle of the circle and it all organizes itself almost as if by magic, is genuinely an awesome thing to see play out. I love anything that can illustrate the extent to which perception can affected shape your ideas about "reality."

[@NitroLemons]

Absolutely agree. The subjectivity of perspective is a fascinating topic in general, and one that spans multiple fields of study

[@tverdyznaqs]

I feel like there's a maths dessertation somewhere in there. Like you just sort of brute forced this problem with a rotating armor-stand but I bet if an actual mathematician took a crack at it they would probably be able to deduce some sort of formula that approximates a circle on a square grid in this specific way. That's what fascinates me about yall redstoneheads, sometimes you guys just end up doing incredible maths recreationally and I think there's something quite pure and wholesome about that :3

[@_wetmath_]

this is quite interesting. and it may be possible to calculate and assign a score to different possible beacon placements based on 1. how close the of the beacon block is to the ideal angle line, and 2. how wide the apparent beacon beam is relative to the other beacon beams this is worth investigating, I'll have a look into it myself

[@squibble111]

Ooh, that would be really cool to design a program to do that! if you do come up with sometihing please do let me know on the discord server

[@ClaraDeLemon]

Assigning scores would be a great solution instead of brute forcing! For closeness to the ideal line, it should decrease with distance, as differences in horizontal gaps would not be as noticeable at large distances I think. And for calculating apparent wideness vs other beams, you would need to know their sizes first to compare, which would make it recursive and weird. I think if you instead swap that for "distance to center", you would get the same effect, as beam width scales with radius! Really neat math problem overall, I wonder if there could be a formula that gives a more straight answer than just computing all the values and picking the best

[@JPK314]

​@@ClaraDeLemonThis leads to a diophantine equation which is unfortunately NP-hard to solve in general. However, optimization isn't too hard via a branch / prune approach, and with this particular problem you can find good bounds fairly easily that exclude all but a small number of possibilities that can be easily checked

[@ClaraDeLemon]

@@JPK314 It wouldn't be a diophantine equation, as the slopes of the straight lines are all irrational, and even then you dont want to find exact solutions, you want to find approximations, which is much easier to do than finding integer sols.

[@squibble111]

Thank you !

[@michael23b]

That’s awesome. While it wouldn’t be perfect, I think it might also be cool to simply increase the “thickness” of the circle, to have more beacons at each turn covering the gaps. Edit: actually this is a stupid idea cause you’d still have the same visible gaps between some of them unless it was extremely thick

[@vulpesinculta3478]

Perhaps if it is layered thrice? Though maybe it would need more.

[@michael23b]

@@vulpesinculta3478 to efficiently cover the gaps even more I think he would just need to plot more points the same way he did, but at a smaller turning increment

[@rtrichter]

to increase the desnity you would have to increase the number of turns in the circle. Say you triple the number of turns, then you find 3 spots for each color (or you could have the colors repeat three times its up to the builder really). You would probably need a bigger radius to fit all of these beacons but I think this would increase the density better than making it thicker would.

[@martinshoosterman]

​@@rtrichterincreasing the number of turns would cause beacons to need to be placed even further to find ideal spots for them. While layering the beacons wouldn't have much variation in distance.

[@rtrichter]

@@martinshoosterman layering the beacons at the same rotations wouldn't have any effect. Additionally layering them would require more distance as well. You need to find a second point along that ray that is close to an integer coordinate. When you stand in the middle that coordinate will just be behind the first beam (and since its farther away it will be smaller and completely invisible from the center). Layering them at a higher frequency decreases the distance between beams and therefore "covering the gaps" which is what OPs intention sounds like.

[@TheTrueMichael]

I'd love a block-by-block tutorial on how to build this exact setup (for those of us not savvy with commandblocks :)) and I already have a plan on where to include it, but I totally get if you want this to be a ”figure it out if you can, this was my project and i want it to stay that way” thing.

the diagonal distance is sqrt(2), which is 41% bigger than beacons just next to each other. You can calculate the distance using Pythagoras' theorem.

[@MxMxffin]

yeah sure but this is not actually the angular difference. Both circles with diameter 34 and 35 can be built using 96 beacons. I'd go with 35 since i don't like double centers. you have 96 Blocks so your ideal Angular differences should be 360°/96 which is 3.75°. If you are in the middle of that circle and look south. The center of that block and the center of the block next to it have an angle of 3.37°, the next two enclose an angle of 3.34°, then 3.3° and then 3.23°, then when the first offset block comes the angle rises to 4.11°, 3.2°, 3.07°,4.44°,2.89°,4.57°,4.7°,4.76°, and then in reverse. The angles are all different.

[@AquaMoye]

interesting build! You mention how you rotate the armour stand 1/96th of a circle to find the next angle, but I don't think you mentioned where the armour stand starts facing. I would guess this would be directly North, South, East or West (a cardinal direction). All the potential blocks are directly aligned behind each other, so you have the least "wiggle room". I would guess that that this would make the best circle possible, but I might have written a code or done more maths to investigate further. You also don't explicitly mention where the the armour stand is located. I assume it is in the centre of the block as it appears to be. This would make sense given that the end portal is on a 1 block centre. However, I do wonder if a better result could be achieved by moving the centre. The problem I mentioned before of the blocks in cardinal direction being directly behind each other would be diminished if the centre were moved. Additionally, it is difficult to stand directly in the centre of a block, but if the player could align themselves in the centre (e.g. by walking into a corner), the player could stand in the exact centre, so perhaps get a better result. Sorry to be pedantic. I would like to reiterate that it already looks fab.

[@squibble111]

Bunch of great suggestions. Ill never be angry at someone who cares about the details. One possible approach for alignemnt is using a minecart and dismounting, perhaps you can eject one briefly out of the ground if it wasnt an end portal your circle was centered on. Imo cardinal directionn starting point makes most sense to me because anything else would make it REALLY hard to hit those exact cardinal direction beams

[@patrickhector]

Since 96/4 is 14, it should be that every 24 increments the armour stand will point in a cardinal direction anyway, so it wouldn't matter which cardinal direction you stared with. Having some alignment method would be useful, but I'd think just using a minecart would work perfectly fine. Having each 24 increments result in a perfect 90 degree turn means that you only need to solve for those 24 increments, and afterward copy the pattern to the other four quadrants. In fact, since you can divide everything into 8 lots of 12, you can solve for the first 12 increments, mirror the solution across the next eighth, then copy the resulting quarter across the other four quadrants. Then you can put more effort into making the best compromise between smallest deviation from the 1/96th increment turns and the deviation from the overall circle. As part of that process I'd also recommend putting multiple targets down for each increment, marking each block that's within an acceptable margin of the ray. Then afterwards, choose all the targets that have minimum deviation from a circle.

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

@@squibble111 Alternatively, you could do the calculations outside of minecraft - write a python script or something that finds the set of 96 equally spaced rays that, for a center location either on a grid point or at a half-unit offset, get on average the closest to a gridpoint within a given range of radii. And then just output that as a list of coordinate offsets for where the beacons go.

[@AquaMoye]

@@patrickhector "it wouldn't matter which cardinal direction you stared with" that isn't at all what i meant. If you started 1/192nd of a revolution from north, and went in 1/96th increments, then the armour stand would never point in a cardinal direction. On your next point: In the case of starting in a cardinal direction, you might have to pick the block for thirteen directions. (The diagonals and the cardinal directions will be shared between the eighths). If not starting in a cardinal direction, then mirroring will not work, so you can only use the order-4 rotational symmetry.

Interesting video, definitely came here because of the technical looking thumbnail, I got curious. (So far my biggest finished build is like a 6×6×8 house, so kind of out of my scale) Lovely end build, btw!

I love how you overdid this but I literally can't see a difference between the two LOLLL

[@samstedman409]

God damn I hope you’re an engineer irl bc this is really smart. The second I saw how you used the armor stand I was like this guy is a genius.
