Great video, highlighting a problem I have been shielded from for many years because of my size. Coming up with an idea, then building that idea are the two most challenging parts of creating redstone content. These people (there's plenty more as well) bypass both these painstaking parts of the process. It's almost impossible to compete with KZbin channels that do this, as they can put out 5-6 seemingly original pieces of content per week that their unknowing fans eat up. As I say, I am privileged that I don't face this problem often, with only the boldest stealing my work, but my heart always goes out to the small/mid size KZbinrs who are getting their content taken left and right. I may end up making a video on this topic myself.

The Shulkercraft apologists like yourself are hilarious. "Yeah they're still stealing other people's work, but they seem really sorry! Also they're giving credit!" It doesn't matter. If the original design creator say "Don't steal my work and re-upload your own tutorial" then don't do it. There have also been instances where Shulkercraft has took someone else's build, uploaded their own "tutorial" for it, and ended up actually nerfing the build they stole because they didn't understand every aspect of the build.

I remember how I used to get inspired by amazing creators like you and Mumbo to make countless redstone doors that spring up in my mind. I spent about 7 hours as a kid making an exit and entry floor piston door, and about 10 hours as a teenager making a circular floor vault door. Both of them were extremely fun to make, but that barely scratches the surface of the countless hours redstone engineers put into their builds. I feel betrayed that such high sub content creators can just feel entitled to pluck whatever they want from a small youtube channel and get away with it. Good on you Purpledragonnuke!

Something pretty funny actually happened to me on one of Steveee's videos a very long time ago. I remember it was something like "how to draw in Minecraft" or something, using the power of the good ol' Command Blocks. It was a very very simple design, but Steveee pretty much "brute-forced" through the whole thing without any explanations on the purpose and functions of each Command (I can see how suspicious this can be now that I think about it). Seeing this, I was worried that potential beginners might not be able to understand what exactly is happening in this design and forced to copy and paste the whole thing without learning anything. I believe that it would be more beneficial and fun for these beginners to actually understand the design. Therefore, I left a comment providing a full explanation of how everything works in this design and what purpose does each Command serves just so people can enjoy what's shown in the video themselves as well and possibly create their own designs using what they have learned from this. Well guess what. My comment was deleted not long after it was written. Like, I am not even trying to call him out because I am someone who you would call "lives under a rock" and I have no idea if he stole this design from elsewhere or not. At that time I was just confused. Confused about why he would delete such a comment that can benefit the viewers more, making this video of his more valuable than before. This confusion of course led to my suspicion that something fishy might be going on here. But I decided to just let it go since I got nothing against him. I forgot all about it not long after. Now? It's all coming together now. It was indeed a stolen design, and he was afraid of being called out by someone who actually understands the design (even though I have no idea that he stole this design from elsewhere lol).

However great job on talking about this problem, because I really do understand what you are talking about.

I feel kind of vindicated that when I take a redstone creation and replicate it in one of my worlds, there's always a sign near the most accessible redstone components (or outright in front of the demo build in my SMP lag tester world) that actually says whose tutorial I followed, if I modified it (I note down what I had to tweak, usually it's adding delays or space restrictions), and if hybridized I have both designs' creators on the sign(s) (and any official name the systems' creators gave them). That way at worst, all I have to do to remember where it's from is to open my old test world or go into the "repair hatch" and find the note I left myself, because I don't always remember who first posted a design. (and sometimes I have a "made b X and popularized by Y" sign, when someone credited another's design and made a tutorial on it from schematics I can't understand)

Really interesting video Purple! Mumbo is a good dude, always credits. Hope this video get's the exposure it deserves. Also it's pretty ironic how Shulkercraft has stolen content that Steveee went an stole lol

[@ComicKodi]

This is insane to see. That being said, I found your channel from Doc but have never heard of any of these thieves (aside from shulkercraft which is a shame cause I love those guys)

[@dawsonreum8096]

That was a simple mistake, and very nitpicky on this channels part. Normally they always credit the creators, and this one since there was multiple, one who was barely mentioned from the channel they got it from, it was very easy for it to slip through. But then they fixed their honest mistake so in my opinion it really isn't worth mentioning.

Your redstone designs are Phenomenal, you have such amazing talent, and your friends do as well. Keep up the great work my friend 😊👍

[@jaexynn]

I remember awhile back ilmango mentioned how upset he was after spending hours on builds/videos, that someone else would come along and just copy it without credit and get even more views. It really bothered me. It's literally plagiarism. And with youtube taking away the dislikes, I feel like we're further from preventing it.

[@jonwallace6204]

I saw Mumbo’s name show up and got concerned… nice to see he’s being used as the example of how to properly do it. Also nice to see most commenters seem to agree with me that the Shulkercraft things seems like more of an honest oversight than anything.

[@nategwright]

I am by no means a redstoner, but I like to build farms when I can and like playing around with different mechanisms. I spent days designing an automated villager trading hall with dropchutes for zombifying villagers with a minecart return system and Grianproof failsafes built in. I’m sure the redstone was far from optimized but it was relatively compact and tileable and I was so proud of it. I can only imagine how much it would suck to have someone take that build I designed from the ground up and pass it off in their own video. People like this need to be exposed, keep up the good work and awesome builds.

[@EmdyMC]

Been waiting for a video like this for a long time, great job on the video and hope to see more people showing the truth behind these channels.

[@ABRminecraft]

Thank you for talking about this problem! The thieves are getting so much credit for free. I spend a lot of time designing my circuits and it feels really unfair.

[@Winter_Nova]

Underrated very underrated channel I've ever seen in my life . More underrated than Ryan Trahan. Like you deserved more than 10M subs. Thank god this was recommend to me . Those fools will pay!

I didn't realize how alive the redstone community was nowadays. Makes me want to pivot to making that content cause y'all seem great

[@Alex_Mewtwo]

Sculk sensor helps make automatic things like doors What I mean is that the wild update brought a few more opportunities for red stone builds

[@MrRubikraft]

I hate this situation so much, and I really hope a solution will emerge soon. I hate the fact that more and more redstoners stop sharing their builds because of the fear to be stolen. It definitely has a huge impact on the stolen people. Take Ilmango, who makes a living out of his KZbin channel, and who chose to drastically reduce his audience by reducing the amount of content he chooses to share... People don't know enough the impact that stealing has on small content creators...

[@user-zy7jx2rn1j]

I think what happens often is these smaller redstoners who make the original builds don't always have the best editing to make building these contraptions clear. Of course this doesn't apply to everything but typically these larger channels make instructions in higher quality. Part of the reason I like shulkercraft so much is that they make most of their guides on making farms easier to follow than most other creators.

[@edvardodavinchi]

Love how are you just roasting everyone keep it up

[@deutschegeschichte4972]

Great video, these people need to be publicly shamed, although for ShulkerCraft and Bblocks, the reason they only listed 1 of the creators was because they simply did not know that there was 2 creators. Its not that they are bad people they just simply thought that only 1 person had created it,

[@LittleBigKilla]

I think shulkercraft is pretty scummy for making tutorials for farms that already have tutorials uploaded by the original creator, thus stealing all the views from the original video thanks to their clickbaity titles/thumbnails and their channel size.

[@Captn-Z-Fear]

Such a shame to see this problem is still in the KZbin community. As a content creator myself I can say it feels degrading when you spend sometimes more than a day brainstorming videos ideas, executing recording and editing, just to see someone spend 3 seconds of their time taking it and adding some cool sound effect or music over what you made and calling it something "new."

[@Brubri1234]

As you said, this is only scratching the surface… In fact, this should definitely become a series on your channel! :D 11:12 What a nice sneak peek we've got here.. ;)

[@Purplers]

;)))

[@zetertheduck]

This really opened up my eyes to the fact that I need to credit people. I use so many farms in my videos, and I never realized that I should give credit for some reason. Granted, I only get like 10 views, but the fact still stands.

[@furiousfolding3618]

Great video! btw your voice reminds me of Kurzgesagt: In a Nutshell

[@styxl.]

Just so you know, Megamanny is steveees other account. He uploads basically the same thing on both channels. He does this because both channels get millions of views so hey, why not multiply?

[@artemis_furrson]

Another thing to note is that even though Shulkercraft credits the designers, they don't ask for permission. Ilmango designed a cobblestone farm and made a video about it with a tutorial in it. Shulkercraft took the design and made their own video without asking and got more views than ilmango. Another thing is that they clickbait nether tree drops per hour by including the non-stem blocks. But the worst clickbait they did was "how to get infinite diamonds". The video was just them saying you can buy diamond gear from villagers.

[@zegamerz1980]

I cannot remember how long it took me to design my own flush 4x4 piston door for the castle I built in my hardcore world. It was long, it was far from optimized/compact, but I was satisfied that it worked (it had pistons visible in the floor and ceiling and a redstone torch on the walls as there were no observers at the time). These people do not understand redstone, nor do they understand the concepts behind it (calling "flush" a door that clearly is not only show how they do not know what flush means).

[@FatYoshi619]

Skippy 6 gaming has a 3x3 piston door uploaded for bedrock. So glad i watched the end of the video before attempting to build it. The opening sequence doesnt work, he then replaces the missing block onto the piston, closes the door, which does work and declares it all done 😂

[@asrom690]

I started playing around with redstone for a fews months now and i am starting to understand the basics of it, to the point where i can fix the system of your 1x4 staircase when it breaks without even going to the youtube search for the tutorial One of the channels that i usually go for to learn how to make a specific farm is shulkercraft since they seemed legit, but ironically a few days ago i was making a moss farm with the tutorial in their channel and the farm they showed just didnt work, all the system was connected to a redstone clock that didnt gave time for the water to flow out and no mater how much u tried to delay the signal it just didnt work without creating another clock. I guess this video just explained to me why that farm design was so bad

[@phil2377]

wow. I did not know how big and widespread this issue was. I feel terrible for the people who take hours coming up with designs to end up with a mediocre number of views, just to have them stolen by bigger creators.

Videos like this are so satisfying. There are more of these scumbags that needs to be called out. In the Shulkercraft part, you could've mentioned about them stealing Ilmango's stuff and Vktec's mob switch, video of which they didn't remove after Vktec asked them to. Great video regardless. These are the videos that actually make people aware of the often miscredited, underrated side of Minecraft: the tech community 😊👍
