Time to Make the Ultimate Villager Trading Matrix

It's time to give the villager trading matrix some tender love and care with a massive overhaul of the design making it so clean and compact its hard to believe it contains all the necessary features of a villager trading all bundled together into a neat package with redstone and rails.
Check out this video by @mrmaxmondays where he designs the amazing decoration for the matrix:

Mumbo Jumbo was my favorite when it came to red stone, but after seeing your channel, its like your own a whole other dimension with it

[@Fred-oz3tw]

even on hermitcraft mumbo isnt it ^^ i advice you to watch docm :)

[@IntEagleOvefovex]

Fr he has the skills of a SciCraft player

[@aflyindeer1730]

Mumbo was there at the beginning and provided a very solid foundation. This allowed people to build off of these concepts and create insane redstone contraptions.

[@olivers.7821]

Nowadays, Mumbo is more of an entertainer, which of course isn't bad, but the more complex technical redstone isn't something you will see from him being designed. If you are looking for someone, who is great at farm designs, including building tutorial as well as detailed explanation of everything around the farm showcased, you could also check out "ianxofour".

[@dantegomezbasualdo4286]

@@Fred-oz3tw it would be great to consider Mumbo's channel from a content creation POV. He was doing redstone since the early days, but eventually people got tired of it, not to mention HC goes completely into the other direction, prioritizing interaction, fun and shenanigans. It was a reasonable solution to do so - since he is a funny guy and he can come up with a lot of creative and silly ideas we all love to watch. That does not imply he's bad at it at all. Same can be said about Doc: he is as funny as a german can be (not a lot), or if you wanna go higher, Ilmango isn't funny at all. But they are next level redstoners, and it wouldn't work for them otherwise. That's why they still focus on this things.

[@alexlowe2054]

13:05 Why yes, I did notice. Really though, this design is incredible. It's rare to see someone consider how to move around inside a complicated redstone machine to debug it in survival. Especially with important things like being spam proof. Nothing is worse than building a giant machine that can be completely destroyed if your mouse breaks while you're using it. Plus, small little things like symmetrical stocking. Bonus points for being able to start with a few modules and scale up as needed. This is the kind of machine you'd want to build in survival, even if it takes forever. As for the shaders, I think you figured out a nice balance between quality and beauty. Not every shot needs to be with shaders. Having just a few B-roll shots with shaders enabled really improves the video without being too distracting for anyone who doesn't like shaders.

[@bobtony3332]

thisis why the technical side of the mc community is so great

[@ppeez]

How does this take forever in survival? Not that big of a machine

[@TheGarretThief]

Man this is not a redstone video. It's either an engineering lesson or redstone review. Definitely an astonishing job. And about shaders - looks much better for me as I usually play with them and things look like they showed in my game.

[@trumanmohr1153]

I personally prefer the presentation with shaders. The flat lighting without them makes the depth of the build harder to see.

[@Monkeylordz88]

Awesome work Cubic! Personally, I think using a shader works great for wide showcase shots where detail is not the focus, but when looking at pieces in more detail, such as explaining specific redstone behaviors, I think it would be best to go shaderless. Something that I felt was missing from this video was a more technical explanation of the villager pods. That seems like the cornerstone design that makes this matrix so much better than the previous one, and it felt like it was just glossed over. I would've loved a detailed breakdown about how it works, why it is better than before, and how you made it.

[@cubicmetre]

The truth is the wiring for the modules is incredibly simple, not much really happens, I could do an in depth description of the wiring going block event by block event but I don't feel that would add anything to the video. But I guess my word choice of "that mechanism there" is a bit simplistic.

[@pedrokotii2417]

@@cubicmetre Well, that depends on target audience a little bit. While those who have been following channels like yours for a long time will mostly "get" things, "new" people who want to get into minetech would probably appreciate more info, even if the design is comparatively simple. I know I appreciated things like "how to place rails" segment back in the bamboo farm design XD It would also help with fixing inevitable errors that occur due to misuse or server BS when on multiplayer. I mean, if you added timestamps, people who already knew this would be able to skip that part, while those yet unelightened or looking to fix a problem would have an amazing resource at their disposal. The re-watch score would help a bit with the algorithm too, I imagine.

[@k4kadu]

@@pedrokotii2417 more in depth but with timestamps is the perfect solution to the problem, I agree (it is also more work tbf)

i liked the shaders when showing off it in the builds. but when explaining the mechanics of it all it’s nice to have it off. i usually turn off shaders when doing redstone on my world. the xraying was amazing as well and definitely made it easier to follow along visually when you was explaining what your design was doing. great video. i don’t think i’ll ever use this.(because i already have a villager trading hall on my current world and i don’t think i need to trade anymore) i’ll maybe consider the breeder for a mob switch because it’s a fancy way of breeding villagers 😂

@@Fred-oz3tw check the sleep timer. If they sleep, they can create a golem. So if you can check and it is never reseted, you are good to go. You can spawn proof the platform fairly easily if you want to.

[@PlayerPaul]

Shaders do look nice. Also the built is as good and as actually technical as always. And also, if you do end up deciding against the further use of shaders, you might as well try one more time with Slidrus Enhanced Default, since those are well known for making the game look better, while actually staying *very* close to it's vanilla look. So it might be an optimal solution to both make the image look better and yet not be in the way of perception of the contraption by the viewer. Good luck with further builds and happy graduation!)❤❤❤

[@Wortigon2000]

looks absolutely amazing. The only reason I see why I probably won't be using it on my home server that I host for friends every now and than is that it'd probably die, or at the veryleast, sweat buckets from so many villagers. Hence I wrote a nice "little" custom command that can spawn in master villagers in every trade, with all of their trade options they can possibly have as a memberof said profession. Except librarians. They had so many options, that i separated them in 2 separate villagers, 1 with theenchanted books, 1 with everything else. Shepherds also had a crapton of trades, due to all the colored stuff. wool blocks (buy and sale alike), beds, carpets, banners... dye trades (even though those were for selling dyes, not for buying them, it's a nice trade to have if you know how to build a flower farm.) Overall, there are only about 14 villagers, that offer all of the possible villager trades when combined. Also, 1 more that sells the spawn eggs for most of them. (no separate spawn egg for the shepherd, it's code was way too long, and hence he couldn't fit in the 32500 character limit on command blocks, alongside the rest. He's summoned with a separate command. That said, even I find it kinda broken that we have villagers whose trades never lock up, and have all the possible villager trades. But I've been running and updating that little server since 1.14, and I don't want to let go of it. Heck, I even custom spawned a few villagers in my base that sell special enchanted emeralds for a stack of emerald blocks; and sell shulkerboxes with 20 custom maps and 20 glow item frames each, for 27-27 of those enchanted emeralds. (A shulker's worth of emerald blocks for a custom 4 by 5 map art you can put on your wall.) It's a nice little server. As for a trading hall, we just had 2 setups prior to this. 1.: villagers tucked in small cells next to/between the storage silos that collected the stuff that we could sell to them. 2.: random scattered cells along a wall, with some villagers in them that had some nice trades. I personally liked option #1, but after updating the storage silos to use shulker fillers instead of just having a bunch of doublechests there for storage, the amount of space available for the villagers changed both in amount and shape. Namely, in the building that housed those silos, some otherwise kinda hidden areas became accessible, while the row where the villagers were originally became full with redstone. So those little hidden areas took in 4-5 villagers each, and it's kinda working right now. There were also a few villagers elsewhere, where I still have about 25 cells still available for them, so I might just reorganize them there, so I can have 3 rooms available to put beds into as guest rooms I guess. (normally it'd be 4, but I put a shulker unloader in one of them, so I can keep the furnace array a flor below fully stocked with fuel. It normally fills back up from the incoming bamboo, and has a nice backlog of at least 1-1 hopper behind every furnace, but now the incoming bamboo can be boosted up from shulkers, when the incomingamount isn't enough. It still prioritizes incoming bamboo though, and when it's backlog is full, it puts the rest in shulkers. That I can just bring there if I want to keep that system ready at all times, in case I'd want to smelt an absolutely obscene amount of something. idk what I'd want to smelt though. I mean... glass? maybe? we can buy them from a villager that never locks up though, after selling our crapton of crops to one that also never locks up, and buys any amount... TLDR: Great system, but my home server wouldn't survive that many villagers. 20-25 is doable, maybe even 40 if I make it bleed, but that system had slots for 72 if I saw correctly. (8 rows of 9 each)

Mate, I was blown away by just the *breeder* system. The rest of this is *majestic*. You even included void trading, which is a thing my filthy-casual self didn't even realize was a thing! For constructive stuff... I found the goofs and gaffs - e.g. the iron golems - amusing and the editing around them was tight enough to leave the comedy in the video without detracting from the presentation. Well done there. There were a few blips where shaders flickered on or off between cuts which was a bit distracting, but that feels like something you'll quickly get the hang of and work out a system to make consistent (i.e. "on presentation shots we use shaders, on technical shots we don't" or something, idk) All-in-all, fantastic video.
