These YouTubers FAKED Their Redstone?

Discord: / discord
I spent 4 DAYS straight on this video and I really like how it turned out. I'll be covering 3 different youtubers who have clickbaited, lied and stole other redstone contraptions.

About iron farm rates: 411 is the maximum rate if all golems that can spawn do spawn. However, because you will have a ~2% loss due to the fact that the maximum platform size is 512 and not 1536, the actual maximum rate is 404.

[@asherkime5910]

love your work

[@sohailaji4660]

That's the average rate, not a defined one. Remember that each game tick has a 1/700 chance for an attempt, which averages to one attempt every 35 seconds, but this is just an average. The rate in practice varies slightly from time to time, so 404 is just a theoretical maximum.

[@RufusAtticus]

@@sohailaji4660 I think you are confusing the rate of a farm with the actual number of ingots that might get produced in an hour. It makes no sense to compare the production of different iron farms based on anything other than expected number of ingots per hour (or some other unit of time).

[@sohailaji4660]

​@@RufusAtticus Sorry for any confusion. I agree: when comparing farms, the average rate makes the most sense. I was just pointing out that the exact amount of iron per hour varies slightly, due to the spawn attempts happening by chance, and not just once every so often.

That could be done by including some redstone that's completely useless except that if another had that part included too it's proof that he blatantly copied yours

[@_KK]

It's not a problem with Minecraft, it's a problem with KZbin in general. If you don't use clickbait in titles, don't make videos daily etc, you are unlikely to succeed and it's impossible to make something by yourself and post daily while keeping the quality. There is also no way to fix that problem with the current KZbin, all you can do is make ranting videos about specific person in hopes that it will turn their fans against them. I don't know why you chose those first 2 channels, everyone who subscribed to you is smart enough to notice it's a very low quality content they are making. There are thousands of channels like that and even more channels that just translate English content into other languages without giving credits. I think if you making ranting videos like that again you should pick smaller channels that are inside of tech/redstone community, something more ambiguous, where it would actually open eyes for a lot of people and hopefully change behavior of the video victim.

@@the-outsider look, I'm not praising him but the rates actually depends on your computer as I'mma programmer myself and know c++ well and also how Minecraft is coded Java version is programmed to work exactly same no matter what client you use or what pc you choose to play on But bedrock edition takes step according to your ram and even after editing the in files it won't do anything for eg in an android phone you can get maximum rendering distance of 24 to 32 chunks depending on Ram but on a pc you can get upto 98 chunks Similarly bedrock edition decides no. Of mobs and also how often THEY spawn to keep game performance good that's how some his farms run better in his computer but A simple kid playing on 2 gb ram phone will never get even half of the same rate drops (default settings)

Thank you so much for revealing the true origin of the World's Thinnest Piston Door, it's a contraption I loved the moment I saw and as someone that doesn't know a thing about Redstone I started to feel really concerned the moment you mentioned it. Keep up the great work !

[@terenzohugel2293]

"Using the exact same mecanics" often there is only one way to do it good. I have several times "accidentally" created things that are essentially the same as something I found later on yt. Other creations in my worlds are based on designs I saw in some video, mostly not block for block but the smaller a build is, the more it abuses a bug, the better the chance that there aren't too many good ways of doing it and while it is unlikely that I accidentely copy a particular other person block for block, that "somebody" has created something similar, is quite likely with the amount of MC redstoners there are. It obviously is different if all you do is copying and you don't even understand the original designs. Or when you copy block by block really big builds or builds that include asthetic parts, that aren't technically necessary and therefore are much less likely to be copied block by block by chance. If I had a YT channel I would credit other people where I know I have copied someone. And if someone later comes and says "hey, I build this first" I might add something in the description just like silentwhisper depending on how much I think was copied or not. I have a huge redstone testworld where I test and modify redstone builds. I don't really see anything bad with people like silent not always crediting the first person to upload something, sometimes that can even be difficult because sometimes it's a no name channel with 40 views. My bedrock minecraft supersmelter is a good example. It uses furnace feedtapes and is quite similar to designs I saw AFTER I created my design even though those other designs were created earlier. And in my redstone world you can see the experimentation and iterations the design went through. Experiments on piston feed tapes in general. Experiments on how to best fill moving furnaces. A first super smelter. A second super smelter that uses less material (and less furnaces) for the same smelting speed (don't need to have empty furnaces beeing pushed around...), and then a third design where I made it taller and less wide to get the foodprint down and fit it including a 20 times bamboo 0-tick farm for fuel into one chunk + I designed some decoration. Than finally the version in my main world is now missing the bamboo 0-tick farm as 0-tick isn't a thing anymore and got some addtions to get better lighting and have less lag from moving light sources. I will connect it to a big enough regular bamboo farm sometime in the future. Yet it is just as similar to some builds on the internet as some builds of silent are to some others. I don't say here that he is always right, there might have been instances where he should have given credit, and if he knowingly copies someone I think he should give credit but in some cases people get obsessed over "it's my creation" when others can invent the same thing. For regular copyright lawsuits in USA that's part of what you have to prove, that somebody actually copied you and didn't just come up with it independently. For sufficiently complex things if they are exactly the same, that's obvious but for "it's very similar" or for technical things that don't have to many "good" solutions... Additionally it is quite often the case that you saw something some time ago, maybe don't even remember where you saw it or even that you saw it but it influences what and how you build never the less. And in general "getting influenced / inspired" by something to create a similar thing is both legal and morally OK. How could we ever function as a sociaty without it. We have a problem with people just blatently copying and not giving credits or anything but we shouldn't assume bad faith just because something looks similar. There needs to be more evidence, depending on how similar the builds really are.

Yes, I understand this fully, this is why I prefer more long form content when it comes to Redstone builds. You can see the processes someone went through to get a build done, and know, even if it’s similar to some other design, it was through coincidence. Mumbo does this, and so do a few other hermits, it’s best, in my opinion, like this. Not just for proving a design was your own, but also lets those who don’t quite understand Redstone learn how to use it: like me, who learned Java Redstone mechanics through Mumbo back in the day.

The only time I have come across something like this was with a channel called "The Spiffing Brit". The channel features rather clickbaity videos that demonstrate bugs and exploits in various games while usually wrapping them in a funny but rather lengthy narrative. I was actually quite impressed by their knowledge on many different games until I came across a video of theirs about Minecraft. The video was about automated item duplication using Drowned. It was while watching that video that I found out that they actually had no idea what they were talking about because the featured contraption was just stolen block for block from a recent video by some of the SciCrafters. Despite the fact that the design was simply stolen and the fact that it was quite obvious that the presenter had barely any knowledge of basic redstone components everything was presented like they came up with the concept and the design by themselves. Afterwards I realized that the other videos are probably very similar and they just steal enough stuff from people who actually work on finding bugs and exploit in various games to make it seem like they actually know what they are doing to people unfamiliar with the games they are talking about and their communities.

Enjoyed the video, one thing I would like to add to what you said about the EULA and fair use specifically is that even if what you are doing is "transformative" and adds something of your own to the video, in most contexts you are still required to give a citation to what work you are referencing. This still likely isn't grounds to go around claiming people making videos of your creations as copyright for creations made within video games is basically nonexistent (unless you want to claim it as art or something lmao). I also agree with what KK said about calling out the channels at the beginning, as most people who are within the community and the majority of people to see this video will likely be able to tell that they are low effort content farms leeching off of other creators, and in my opinion are people that don't deserve any more attention. One thing I would like to see (possibly a future video idea) is a look at docm77 and his behavior within the TechMC community. Doc is someone that I used to look up to and many others have as well, however after talking to some members of ZipKrowd it seems like he is one of the largest "fake redstoners" with dozens of stories I've heard about how he pressured smaller creators on ZK to build creations for him to make videos on, using his large audience and the threat of the smaller creators being canceled in order to get his way. From what I've heard this was the main reason why ZK split and doc moved to hermitcraft after other players started speaking up.

He does have an oddly soothing voice, and his deadpan delivery of the exact same lines in every video is hilarious. "As you guys can see this farm will give you a ton of X."

I totally agree with you. As a redstoner in Minecraft, I can say that I am not very good at it. Also I am new to youtube and honestly don't know of my designs are similar to already existing one. For me, It is not bad to copy or use other's redstone creation, but you must know your limits and always ask for permission or credit the original owner. You don't want others to also steal your design. Even if your channel is bigger, you must remember that you are once small, like us. You must also respect us not as youtube creators but as a human where that design is ours.

In programming. While code is protected by copyright. API layers are not. While anyone can implement code that does functionally the same thing as another bit of code. The copyright is placed on the code itself. Not on what said code does. This is why 3rd party launchers exist. Mojang's copyright on their own launcher only extends to the physical code and binary data of their launcher. However reimplementing your own version of the Minecraft launcher is fair use. Since what the launcher itself does is not protected, but taking the binaries from Mojang and editing them will however land you in hot water...

[@JackieJKENVtuber]

Kinda pained me to see Silent here, since that's where I go grab all the farms for my pocket edition worlds I still personally doubt he steals farms; the guy knows what kind of mechanics he's meddling with, and whenever there's a tool (like a chunk viewer add-on) that he feels like featuring in the discord server, credit is given There's a lot of ways to do different farms, and it's true that he could have gone for different designs, but I personally think he just likes to go for what makes sense to him at the time, and that may coincidentally be what other people's designs look like Also, the "how did he know the video didn't explain anything if he didn't watch it" contradiction is kind of clear to debunk. When someone tells you their stuff is stolen from other people, you tend to search it up, even if out of curiosity; he may have searched it in the moment he was called out I personally believe he may have seen some designs, but saying they are stolen is a bit too much until there is proof that this kind of thing really happened in the circumstances that will be called stealing

[@LucaDornseifer]

Yeah saying that the designs are stolen is wrong. But Desings have almost the same to the same redstone in them. If that is a chase in which you should link the orginal, which he clearly has seen (So many "same" Desings are unrealistic), or not is up to you.

[@RRareGaming]

True, and redstone well you cant copyright the design.. but there is still a small chance he *might have* taken the design but idk.

[@swimsvg1855]

He still kinda acted like a jerk on the discord sever though, like yeah it may be accidental that he made similar designs but to be so egotistical to not just say a simple "hey this guy figured it out before me" it takes absolutely nothing. And for him to get all defensive and censor criticism, and then call the entire comunity toxic for it? Idk even if he's in the right in terms of design credit, the way he handled the situation made him look like a complete ass.

[@JACKHARRINGTON]

Wow, what a well-paced video. And all the footage was in the same world?

[@aethertech]

I honestly don't know how I stumbled upon this video, I played Minecraft many, many, many years ago. But I watched it, and then I remembered some incidents, and I suppose this will be the first and only time I've ever ranted about it. I originally started doing redstone way back right around the time comparators had been introduced into the game; or maybe a bit before that, I can't recall exactly when (or what year even...) But shortly thereafter, Etho (is he even around anymore? I don't know.) Had created his "Death Coffin," idea. So me, being me, I decided to try and improve it - and made a video for youtube. And I even made the title "Improved Ethos Death Coffin" or something.... the amount of HATE I got for it, for 'stealing' and improving the design, despite directly attributing it to him - was frankly insane. It was in the title, it was in the description, I even had a sign on it that said "Ethos' Death Coffin 2.0" or something. I talked about his original design, and then the improvements I had made to it. But...the cult of personality didn't really care... Well, kind of disheartening. But, moving on. I kept experimenting with Redstone and eventually developed a tileable one-wide dust, torch and repeater only downwards double-piston extender. And while double down pistol extenders, and double piston extenders had existed for a while, it was to my knowledge (and I searched) the only true tileable variant. Well, I posted it on the official minecraft forums, and youtube....and got destroyed by people claiming so and so had already invented it. Which, by the way, while true - used a totally different and much slower design... And wasn't truly tileable, it was two separate 1x1 tileable designs that could be connected. Well, then I made two more tileable designs totally different than the first, and from the existing one that I had supposedly 'stolen' from... And the video with those went several hundred negative likes. I then made a very simple 1x high t-flip/flop using comparators and a piston - which again got destroyed, not because it had already existed - but because decided that arguing semantics of it was more important - it was a technically a flip/flop, but also a rising edge detector... and then came the whole thread of bashing on how it wasn't 1 high, because it sat on the ground >_> Ok, sure. Finally, I made one more device, a very simple double extender block swapper (down or up facing,) and got raged on for 'stealing' it from someone else - except no one could actually point out who I was stealing from, only that this person here had a swapper, and this person here had an extender - and neither one was as simple, or as efficient as mine - much less combined...And that someone else had a double extender swapper but it used completely different mechanisms....blah blah blah. Well, I actually gave up on sharing my redstone at that point - and joined the new Zombie survival craze.... and tried to make some videos...and made the mistake of talking (in game chat) about my video and channels at the same time some other famous KZbinr was in the same server.....I didn't know them at all (it was bdoubleo, though.) And not only did my channel get downvoted into oblivion to thousands of downvotes on most of my videos; the rage comments (including a couple of posts suggesting violent forms of suicide....) but even the popular youtuber himself made a video that called me out in some very nasty terms. Again, I had no idea that he was on the server, or who he was. I was just chatting with a few other people that had joined me during my playing while we raided the north, and casually mentioned my channel on youtube. After that, I simply quit trying to make videos, went back to single player, and just did creative architectural builds, experimented privately with some other redstone stuff like auto-smelters, farms, etc... for a while and then....quit when some update or another broke what I was doing. Yea....

[@stevenrenfro5064]

As far as the whole Xumavoid getting credit for bed wars thing, I'd say getting credit for a game idea has different criteria than getting credit for a build. A game is inherently an idea because its just rules and concepts. Obviously most games need to have some physical representation in order to play it, but that is separate to the game. The creator of a bedwar map should get credit for creating the map and adding things like command blocks and stuff to make it more functional, but Xumavoid should get credit for bedwars as a game concept. But then you can also get into more complicated things like if the person who created the first bedwar map should get credit for setting a precedent for how the physical representations for all the future bedwar maps were created (which I think they should).

[@dester3275]

Agreed, bedwars is basically a variant of capture the flag that has existed before Minecraft anyway.

[@BUCCIMAIN]

I have made one or two designs that were really close to someone else, the only reason I know this is when I got stuck I would look up how to do it at I would get really confused because they were almost identical.

Its kind of a guilty until proven innocent situation, and yeah maybe he didn't reply super friendly and he was kinda petty about it, but what if he was right? What if he wasn't lying? Wouldn't you understand how frustrating it is for everyone who "praises people for working hard to develop redstone" immediately invalidates and accuses you?

That's something I was thinking as I was watching this. From the sound of it he didn't actually copy any farms, he just used a mechanic he had heard about to make a farm himself. There's only so many ways to design a farm to work with a specific mechanic efficiently so of course it becomes very similar, especially so if they aren't super optimized or compacted. It's also kinda hypocritical that Crafty gets on Xizuma's case about claiming ownership of an idea and saying he should get credit despite other people being the ones to execute it but then blasts Silent for basically taking hearing an idea and building a farm based on the concept without crediting the discoverer.

What information can and can't be trusted is hard to determine. All I know is that a member of Prototech invented a ground breaking machine that forces instant tile ticks. Redstone similar to the RNG manipulation technology. And the idea was stolen by the server moderators. And Ray did not credit the guy either, but this machine plays into all the hidden drama. As to why the moderators banned Ray, I'm really not sure. There's a lot we don't know and I don't have the time to go deeper.
