[@binmiao1802]

I'm pretty sure at 2:33 it stole the obsidian because, it stopped for a moment, becoming blocks, but then the Redstone wire was still active causing it to activate again. Flotater turns all the blocks into the state they were the moment it started flying so buttons stay down and redstone wire stays on.

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

In case you’re curious, the floatater’s push limit is based off of radius instead of number of blocks. I think it can push all connected blocks within 30 blocks of the floatater. Edit: it is actually a size (as in volume) limit of 32x32x32. Thanks for correcting me

[@guilhermerafaelzimermann4196]

Acrually, it is not a radius at all it's a size limit, the floatater structure (pushed blocks + floatater itself) can be up to 32x32x32 in size, any block larger than that and it doenst work

Here are a couple of things you should know about the floatater: using multiple in the same direction will increase it's speed it only sticks to things it's making direct adjacent contact with, so a top slab will not stick to the side of a bottom slab. Flotatoes can be placed in the air and are very useful for stopping a floatater.

[@Predated2]

@@recursiveslacker7730 I dont think a couple of years. I honestly feel like Mojang has been working on an end update since Caves and Cliffs was released, and has been conceptually been working on it since the nether update. With a bit of luck, 2025 will have an end update. Like, caves and cliffs had some minor tweaks it needed, and I am 99% certain they did the end first for 3 dimensional biomes, so they could change the overworld next with those 3d biomes while playing around with blocks below 0. If the End isnt going to have caves, and not really going to have ores. It can have 3d biomes, increased building limits, more structures, and since the End also basically is the inventory dimension (ender chests and shulkerboxes both come from the end), it might also be an inventory update. Basically you having a standard inventory, because thats all you need to defeat the dragon, and once you kill the dragon, you can reach ways of expanding your inventory.

[@BlueKirby808]

[@macalodon]

I don't think it's as glitchy as you're thinking. you're thinking of it as a piston when you should be thinking of it as a thruster and you're forgetting that it's from an april fools update, thus making it immune to any molding within minecraft's standards for things like this. 1. it can move things pistons can't because it isn't a piston and it isn't seriously intended to account for normal minecraft's insurance rules 2. I have to assume it can't move tile entities because that is just something mojang can't figure out how to do with whatever they code in or something, so it logically breaks them so they can't impede the rest of the structure that it is moving 3. I'm not certain but I think its limit is dependent on distance rather than block count, so it couldn't push that long line because some part of it was basically a wall 4. I'm pretty sure with the elevator, it just yoinked the obsidian because the redstone line was still powered so when it came to a stop, the floatater was repowered and the redstone was able to turn off in that same instant, which allowed the machine to stop once it hit the block limit ( no clue why some of it got atomized and others got saved) 5. Before assuming the tnt looked glitchy, I would recommend what it looks like pushing other entities to see if it looks similar (I feel like I should make sure that this isn't interpreted as me sounding upset or anything, it's just an observation I made and thought I would mention, but I'm often bad with word choice so sorry if it sounds mean at all :) ) 6. the final piston door was being moved because the pistons on the left were connected to the floatater's structure, thus connecting the entire door to the floatater That's all the things I can remember right now. It's important to remember that not everything has to fit within the preexisting molds, especially when it isn't made for the base game. The copper bulb, for example, wasn't bugged or glitchy when it had a one tick delay, it was intentionally made that way (unfortunately they changed it to 2 ticks for reasons i'm unaware of). I find that it's best to assume everything is working as intended; that makes it easier to understand the rules of the individual feature and judge them accordingly instead of judging them based on what similar things we have already because that can lead to viewing the thing that makes the feature special and different enough to be its own feature. Ofc it definitely isn't perfect -- it decapitated a piston after all -- but it seemed like you were viewing its rules and features as bugs simply because they differ from the norm, not because they are necessarily game-breaking or literally broken. TL;DR: the floatater isn't as broken as you think, most of the things I saw you point out as bugs seemed to be features to me, and some of the things that went wrong reinforce what I saw as features.

[@vibaj16]

Actually the way that it works is that as long as all the connected blocks (floatater included) is no bigger than 32x32x32 it will move, the wiki incorrectly states that it is a 30 block radius, but i tested it out rigorously for myself, the position of the floatater does not affect the max size of the structure

[@RandomMinecraftUser8]

Since April Fools generally add stuff Mojang is testing, it looks to me like the custom dimension means there's gonna be more support for those and fog = more support and well there's quite a few things which might be actually added in some way

Floatater will actually push a structure, which is 61x61x61, assuming that the device is right in the middle of it. You can also use chests as rails for the door to prevent the moving part of the door from sticking to rest of the mechanism.

[@guilhermerafaelzimermann4196]

Wrong, the floatater will push a structure that is 32x32x32 regardless where in the structure the floatater is. The floatater is included in the size of the structure so keep that in mind when making your floatater ships

that thing, I tested, is able to push EVERYTHING in an area of 32x32x32 (beginning from layer 0 that has the floatater in it). Adding anymore blocks in any place blocks the floatater activation. The blocks MUST be connected, and I think the floatater can be able to push two objects that are separated side-to-side 1 block apart if the initial pushed object has a slime block in "contact". Don't know a lot about that last part, I didn't test much. I just observed a floatater pushing 2 objects with a slime block and was amazed but didn't go further.

Seems like a few of these things that were described as glitchy behaviour were just different or misunderstood mechanics. Like the radius of effect instead of a fixed number of blocks as that piston has, or the way different blocks are movable or 'sticky' with the different mechanic. The coolest potential part of a block like this is, it seems like it can move actual working redstone circuitry. You could fly a section of a circuit into position to complete a redstone contraption. The possibilities for something like that are massive.

Also it will push any blocks that are already attached to it, once a new block is added (by for example flying into it) it will stop and the more floatators you add the faster it goes, and it can go extremely fast, like really fast

The reason the floater kept stealing obsidian and the whole mechanism was because the mechanism was connected with non-air blocks. Glazed terracotta only works on slime and honey blocks, floaters can connect everything. As long as the redstone doesn't touch (even indirectly) any part of the mechanism other than the floater, it won't move.

legend say the piston door is still going

[@alexrecuenco]

I think what happened is that it moved the redstone with it, so when it stopped, the redstone activated it again

[@younscrafter7372]

you can use it to move tnt, just put a repeateronto the platform and activtate it along with the floatater. the redstone freezes while it's moving. when it stops moving, it unfreezes and the tnt ignites

So I just built an elevator that works... You can only have go up and down 2 floors though. The way you do it is you create the elevator cart and then put a floater on the bottom facing up and one on the top facing down. Next use levers on the floor and roof of the cart to activate the floatato (buttons get stuck for some reason while levers are only stuck while the floatato is activated and can be changed back once it stops then reactivated again). When you're creating the shaft for the elevator the starting positions can not have any blocks touching the cart. To stop the elevator cart put a flotater in the path as even just 1 block will stop it no matter how big the structure is. When the shaft is in motion it can move past blocks that are right next to it without picking it up so even though the starting points need to have a one block gap (except the corners) the shaft itself doesn't. I can share the world if anyone wants it although I don't really care to upload a video since I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing it nor would the algorithm have it pop up on anyone's feed seeing as I have never made a real video before.

I think that this entire snapshot is just Mojang testing features for a end update, new island generation, new endgame type blocks (like the floater, no way a person should ever have that early game), and a new boss (multiple phases were used, the only thing closest to multiple phases could be the raid).

[@skulkingshadow]

I played around with it, like a whole superflat dedicated to it and oh man I made doors, parkour coarses and fleet of ships, some like ultra fast (since activating more than one of these interconnected floataters at once increases speed)

[@berkhero3006]

I really hope floaters and grapling hooks are just prototypes and not jokes.

[@RandomMinecraftUser8]

You know you can just use pots since those dont attach, right?

[@smugless191]

It can push up to a 32x32x32 cube (it must be part of the cube as well.). You can also very easily make headless pistons with it to break bedrock. Plus you can dupe redstone, pistons, repeaters ect with it. You can also push nether portals and the potato portals with it. End portals will break if you try to move them but you can move the frames.

[@carafurry7862]

They could make a skulk goop that you can add to blocks to make the blocks being pushed by it not interact with it. This would also help with a consistent stoping point. I think this block is more for a mobile base than anything tho.

[@Turelil_official]

2:40 Mysticat uses pots so they don’t attaches

[@moonyl5341]

5:31 it was moving the tnt entity forward

[@Trollge-1119]

8:06 bro the door had left the chair 💀

[@thatoneguy6432]

I get it. The block moves a particular mass, and when the mass of the thing it hits is greater than the mass of the flotater, it will come to a halt. If the mass is smaller, the mass will join the flotater.

[@CatPower69]

Legends say, that piston door is flying till the end of time

[@Greatcelestialkaligo]

The problem i have with this block is that i like it but i think it almost completely gets rid of the use of slimeblock machines other than tnt duping but if you need to cross a gap just use this, so i think it shouldn't go very far. Edit: for got to add or really hard to grt or expensive to craft like a Nether Star.

[@user-fo2yx7bb2o]

Best way to fix this feature would be the inability to move unmovable blocks. That would fix all the bugginess

[@liberatio8703]

Mumbo's gonna have a field day with this

[@Henry_Martin]

2:12 its moving active redstone which is activating the moving block

[@noviwulan7915]

Cant wait for hardcore youtuber to make a bedrock house without glitch

[@theordinaryabnormal9945]

I love the create Mod and this reminds me so much of it

[@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad]

2:28 he discovers the fact that the april fools updates are not well polished

[@miroto9446]

First mojang test custom dimensions on april fools with the nether portal book randomness. Then they hire ex tropicraft dev. Then they add deep dark with mysterious block frame thats even hinted to be portal in the generation names. Now they add straight up dimension in april fools with items to test some unique and niche mechanics for the game. It dont take sherlock to know they are planning some huge update in the future.

[@shefsufla]

I honestly love the way it looks

[@detectives.2606]

I think the explanation for it pushing air is like how pistons work with quasi-connectivity but i'm not a redstoner so i don't know, just the first thing that comes to mind
