Witch Separator Nathan Ryan 2016-05-10 | Witches and zombies are exactly the same size, so they cannot be separated from each other by translocating pistons. This video shows how witches can be separated from other 2-high hostile mobs by using a relatively simple minecart system.

Automatically Getting Villagers into Minecarts in Minecraft 1.9 Nathan Ryan 2016-03-22 | With the new 1.9 mob collision, minecarts don't pick up mobs as they used to. While there are some known workarounds, none allowed me to measure the number of villagers waiting to be picked up. This video shows how I solved that problem. Recorded using vanilla Minecraft 1.9.
Minecraft 1.9 Conversion: Unarybits Carrot Potato Farm Nathan Ryan 2016-03-04 | Changes to the mechanics in 1.9 have broken one of my favorite farms, the fully automatic food farm designed by Unarybit.

Tweaks to Rays Villager Breeder Nathan Ryan 2015-12-13 | UPDATE! Some of you may be here after watching impulse on Hermitcraft. If you're looking for a reasonably compact breeder that produces villagers at a more modest rate (about 1 every 2-3 minutes), check out the world map that contains the design I intend to use in my 1.9 world. Just be sure to load all of the villagers up on food before getting them into the breeding cells http://www.mediafire.com/download/vmmh2sovfs807ny/Bootstrap_Villager_Breeder.zipRay of Rays Works recently showed a lag-free villager breeder, in which pairs of breeding villagers are compacted into a relatively small space. This video discusses some possible tweaks to the design, in order to further compact villagers. Also included is a novel double-pass water stream.

Minecraft 1.9 Resource-Light Witch Farm Nathan Ryan 2015-10-11 | The new witch-farm design by xisumavoid is a solid replacement for the popular shifting-floor design, which relies on a bug that has already been patched for the upcoming 1.9 release. His new design is a bit resource intensive for some players, however. The design presented in this video achieves 80-85% efficiency of xisumavoid's design, but with a lower resource requirement. Also included is a novel interference clock that makes it easy to experiment with the timings of flushing water pulses.

Tutorial: Convert an Item Elevator from 1.8 to 1.9 (Snapshot 15w40b) Nathan Ryan 2015-10-01 | This video is a tutorial for adapting the item-elevator design by test137e29 to work in the latest snapshot. The adaptation can handle high volumes of items without loss. It requires no packed ice, and it uses a relatively small circuit without a clock. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w40b.
Item Elevator Polite Piston Nathan Ryan 2015-09-29 | Item elevators that use a piston to launch items upward suffer from the drawback of needing a large collection area. This new design enables a piston to push items upwards into the tower without increasing their velocity, thus mitigating the need for a large space above the tower. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39c.
Item Elevator Reference World, Snapshot 15w39c (1.9) Nathan Ryan 2015-09-29 | A short tour of a world that I created for my own reference when designing minimized circuits for item-elevator regulators. A lossless (1.9) item-elevator design is included, along with several regulator designs and a load-testing rig.

Clocks: Heartbeat Clock Nathan Ryan 2015-09-27 | The output of this clock produces irregular pulses, making the mechanism sound like a heartbeat. A feedback signal allows subtle timing tweaks through various repeater settings. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39c.
Clocks: Animal-Breeding Timer Nathan Ryan 2015-09-27 | This "clock" is a despawn timer combined with a pen gate control, in order to alert the player when animals are again ready to be bred. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39c.
Item Elevator Double Extender (Snapshot 15w39c) Nathan Ryan 2015-09-25 | This item elevator requires few resources and can losslessly process extremely heavy item volumes. It uses a different mechanism to place items into the glass tower. Specifically, items enter the glass tower from the side, rather than from the center, and a clock-driven double-extender pushes the items into a cobblestone wall, thus driving them up the tower. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39c.
Item Elevator Regulators Nathan Ryan 2015-09-25 | This video discusses some alternatives for using regulators to batch the item stream of an item elevator. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39c.Since the bug fixes for 1.9 have broken the item-elevator design by test137e29, several additional designs have emerged. Going back to the future, the most reliable is probably the piston launcher. However, this design requires a large space above the collection point at the top of the elevator, due to the velocity that items build while rising through the glass tower.One alternative to the piston launcher is what I erroneously call the "pneumatic-tube" design. Items enter the block space of a block with a switchable collision box, and the block space is sealed by using a piston to push a block into the entrance port. However, for these designs to be lossless, the input stream must be batched.
Item Elevator Explanation and Tutorial, Snapshot 15w39b (1.9) Nathan Ryan 2015-09-23 | This video presents an evolution of the new item-elevator design by Snocrash, drastically simplifying the redstone. A few additional design tweaks are incorporated, including a return to our friend the fence post. (For an even lower-resource build, try the piston item-elevator design by sZPeddy.)

Item Elevator Update, Snapshot 15w39b Nathan Ryan 2015-09-22 | The no-redstone door/pressure-plate fix for item elevators discussed in my previous videos will not work as of an upcoming snapshot, due to its reliance on a bug that has since been corrected, according to Grum. This video presents a small redstone fix and discusses some of the mechanics involved. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w39b.OP guardian farm presented by docm77: youtu.be/BpeYiGowqWk?t=293
Item Elevator, Levitating Through a Piston Head Nathan Ryan 2015-09-20 | The fix for item elevators discussed in my previous videos will not work as of the next snapshot, due to its reliance on a bug that has since been corrected, according to Grum. The odd design shown in this video preserves the smooth flow of items up through the glass tower, at the expense of some unusual and particular (but assumed bug-free) game mechanics. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w38b.

This video presents a fix that is possible as of snapshot 15w38b. The fix harks back to the double-piston design used before the fence-post design. Recorded with Minecraft snapshot 15w38b.
Item Elevator, Fix for Snapshot 15w38b (1.9) Nathan Ryan 2015-09-17 | Snapshot 15w38a corrected the glitchy collision box of fences, which broke the elegant item glass-elevator design by test137e29. This video presents a fix that is possible as of snapshot 15w38b. The fix is relatively simple, flat, and stable, and it doesn't rely on piping items through additional hoppers or droppers. Recorded with Minecraft snapshot 15w38b.
Clocks: Unique 1-minute despawn clock with water pulse Nathan Ryan 2015-09-10 | This clock is a pseudo-clock with a period of just over one minute, using the despawn time of fired arrows. Quasi-connectivity and a water pulse drive the clock cycle. The water pulse can also be directed outward from the clock, making it ideal for timed flushing. Recorded using Minecraft snapshot 15w36d.
