No technical project is completely useless. Sure, there might be an easier way to do things, but that doesn't mean that everyone wants to do it that way. Besides, sometimes Minecraft's community comes up with a way of playing that makes it the best way to do the thing. And, if nothing else, it's a project that teaches you things that make you a better designer for the next project. Case in point, Stromne's fox-based emerald farm. He gave up on designing it until Ilmango needed a source of emeralds for his skyblock series. So now we get to enjoy the possibility of a really inefficient emerald farm that was originally a "why not?" idea that had to overcome the designer's resistance to building something that was "obviously" useless. Thanks for this design. It's not useless, it's a configurable farm which can give you copper aged to any desired level in an entirely automatic manner. For those of us who would rather put down our copper and come back to have it exactly the way we want it with no more manual input required, it's excellent.

[@jazziiRed]

I agree with you 100%. Sometimes the fun of a redstone project is enough to justify its existence :)

[@_shadow_1]

I agree with your point, however it's actually just easier to do this with an axe. As it stands, this machine is useless for it's intended function. It doesn't mean it's not an interesting thing to build to help better understand various aspects of redstone for building something actually useful.

[@samuelthecamel]

Maybe it's useful for an axe-less playthrough?

[@jasonrubik]

​@@samuelthecamel Don't give them any ideas. "Can I beat Minecraft without an axe?!"

[@adryanclay]

Mumbo Jumbo in the future when there is nothing to do farms anymore:

[@lesdarkphoenix3780]

Then make a path block item farm

[@red-stoner]

do you really think i want to MANUALLY scrape the copper blocks and get them into my automatic storage system? bruh thats a genius project

[@smallangrycrab]

The entire video I can hear the pain in his voice as he describes his machine. Amazing!

[@warpedmine9682]

Pov you forgot about axes removing the age by one

[@jazziiRed]

Yep... lol

[@nbboxhead3866]

This machine isn't useless, it's time efficient. If you wait ages for the copper to fully oxidize, it takes ages to farm it, but if you wax and harvest it immediately, it becomes a lot faster.

[@SyRose901]

The time efficiency loses itself when you realize you can just store fully oxidized copper blocks and then scrape it away right when you use it. For an absolutely massive amount of them(like hundreds of shulker boxes), I can see your point, though.

[@Gekoloudios]

finally someone who knows at least the basics of redstone, nice machine

[@qualitymcbro8452]

I felt mean and decided not to mention the axe thing lol, but the factory is really cool.

[@NitFlickwick]

Make it go to fully oxidized copper (just another item in the dropper), and you have something like Pixlriff’s “David” copper ager. I would say this is probably better than his design. It’s harder to get the copper in, but it doesn’t suffer as much from the possibility of miscounting state (it is still possible copper could age twice in two ticks, which the observer would miss), but it can’t weather on the way there. You also get the items back, which is nicer.

[@jazziiRed]

You are correct, you can add another item in the dropper to configure it for another level of oxidation. In fact, that's what I have half the full design set as, but I forgot to show that in the video. Also, I wasn't aware Pixlriffs made a copper ager. Gonna have to go check that out!

[@SamNGUYEN-cg9uf]

I agree with this (no offense to Pixlriff) as this design do automatically waxed the copper at the stage you wanted and also break the copper without losing any for you too, even though you'll have to manually place the coppers.

[@Mr_robobotplays]

Welcome to youtube, an unfair place where golden channels like this manage to go under the radar. You deserve a lot more attention.

[@jazziiRed]

This channel is still pretty new so it makes sense, but I have faith. Gotta put in the work tho. Thanks for the kind words!

[@Ri-ver]

It's a newish channel and is being recommended to a lot of people. I have a feeling the algorithm is gonna treat Jazzi real good in the coming months. I hope so at least

[@chaomatic5328]

Redstone shenanigans aside, this was some marvelous bit of storytelling and cinematography! That little montage at the end feels like it came from a professional editor... It really delivers on the slowness of the whole copper-placing ordeal, and how tranquil the -oxidization- oxidation site is. In the fast paced environment of youfube, you don't see a lot of people taking their time to demonstrate, well, time. I love that yt is pointing me out to those young, starting channel, although I'm pretty sure you have experience in the domain of video making.

[@jazziiRed]

Thank you! The last bit took a lot of effort and thought, so I'm very glad you recognized that. And yes, I do have a bit of a film background from school. Glad it shines through. I still have a lot to improve on though, but I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

[@smallangrycrab]

Right?!?

[@v0id_d3m0n]

Nice farm and nice video! It's not completely useless as automation is always cool +/ useful, and it looks like u had fun doing it! P.S. i enjoted the asmr at the end haha

[@grahamyoung2557]

Could also be even more tnt efficient if you put 2 slices into one blast chamber. Not sure how difficult that would be though.

[@bobtony3332]

to get fully oxidized copper its more efficient having them right next to each other and every 3rd block waxed copper it'll be slower, but you are able to have more in the same space which means higher rates

[@blacklight683]

I see no useless here, if this is your most useless, you're a genius that never has bad ideas I made machines so useless my brain blocked the memory of me building it

[@xymaryai8283]

okay, hear me out, if you need industrial amounts of specific copper, is it more efficient to build an ultra mega AFK farm, or swing an axe a specific amount of times at fully oxidized copper? i say, for the base that is built almost entirely of Exposed and Weathered copper, you have still built a useful machine

[@EJL-001]

This is got to be one of the coolest things Ive seen today. Liked and subbed

[@jazziiRed]

Thank you!

[@darkmetaOFFICIAL]

dude seriously, this was the most interesting, cool machine to watch, with all the precision mechanisms and chain reactions, and overall control with the functionality, i want one!!! 😅💯💯

[@fatporpoise8092]

The real oxidized copper is the friends we made along the way

[@user-gc1zz5cu4n]

You can use the dispenser to install new copper blocks to avoid manual labor, then it would really be "automatic"

[@brennonpopovich627]

you can also use an axe to get rid of the wax and get the copper block to the previous stage of oxidisation

[@memegrinch]

I just did and didn´t wasted 25:30 Minutes of my life. nice video, you have some potential, because of that, I subscribed for later :) ( you could add an schematika or world-download in the description.... for the next time.... )

[@jazziiRed]

Appreciate the support! For now, I don't do schematics or world downloads because I don't want my designs stolen. Small channels are extra vulnerable to redstone thieves.

[@_shadow_1]

This machine is useless, but it doesn't need one because it's also a work of art. Reminds me of a scene in an old movie I watched where a guy makes an over engineered machine just to make perfect fried eggs in the morning, the scene consists of the camera just following that egg as it makes it's way through all of the unnecessary and janky hand rigged machinary and the whole thing is pretty beautiful to watch.

[@LepidoliteMica]

Would that be the intro to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Good old classic Rube Goldberg machinery right there.

[@Itemtotem]

I would totally join you in builds like that I helped someone make a mod before and we had car washes, fire station (with a working alarm so each building would light up a light in the firehouse if it caught ablaze) roadways (cuz we had cars) It was cool MC edit works

[@innerlichtotig9325]

Sure it might be useless for people like me and you but for some survival players that tend to like steampunk type builds, this is a cool machine. Edit: especially for mega builds

[@jaylegoninjago5615]

10:35 isn't it a 4 way nor gate, since the machine activates when nothing is on

[@Ri-ver]

This made me laugh so hard

[@rzezzy1]

Somebody tell Ea-Nasir about this. Maybe he'd get fewer complaints about the quality of his copper deliveries.

[@nickm3694]

10:30 if all 4 need to be off for the output to be off, technically that makes it a 4 way OR gate, lol

[@Paul-oi2wz]

Did you test your revised version in the original version of the game? Maybe there was a bug in the snapshot.

[@SamNGUYEN-cg9uf]

Why do you added a delay for the pistons to push the oxidized copper towards the tnt when it explode? You can just add a redstone torch one block diagonally below one of the bottom piston and then run a signal to the rest of the pistons and make them into smart pistons. Also, for your midi you made, you don't need a redstone dust on top of the top dispenser, just have the observer directly powers it.

[@SamNGUYEN-cg9uf]

Sometimes it better to went through your redstone invention and try to make it more compacted, which will make it less time consuming for survival players, including yourself (if you want to in survival) to gather the materials to rebuild.

[@jazziiRed]

Hi Sam, thanks for the comment! For the piston wall, the delay is there so that the pistons push exactly when the TNT explodes. The entire wall is hooked up together as well. This is common practice for TNT blast chambers that use the moving block mechanic. And for the midi machine, that redstone dust is necessary. I tried it first the way you described, but it doesn't work. Because the observer is triggered by the changing lamp and the lamp is powered by a lever, the top dispenser gets bud powered by the lamp two blocks above it and falls out of sync. The next thing I tried was having it power a block first, but then the bottom dispenser doesn't get correctly bud powered. I finally landed on the redstone dust, which works. You can try this in your own world if you like, and you will find the same results. In conclusion, I do iterate my designs before sharing them. That doesn't mean that they are perfect, but rest assured that I am not missing anything so seemingly obvious when it goes out to the public. Thanks, and have a nice day!

it is playerless tho...(i mean it does have to be loaded but you could just put it somewhere where ppl are bound to sit around) + its faster when you have only llimited copper

[@valentin-gabriellungu3869]

I wouldn't call it useless, BCS if you need a large amount of a specific wheathered copper it will be laborious to do it manually=)

first, it's weird how this Redstone machine is just waiting in silent for all the copper. second, we all do mistakes and learn from them, but trust me, this is not a mistake.

It's an AND gate, because that line is connected to a torch at the very end. The flying machine is only launched when all of the torches turn off.

[@owensmashups]
