I currently don´t have enough time for an explanation, but there will be an explanation video eventually. I just had a few minutes to study the behaviour of headless sticky pistons, and I expected them to be useless, but it turns out, that they´re the most awesome thing ever. It might also be possible to transform normal pistons into sticky pistons using a similar glitch (however I don´t have enough time to say with certainty whether that works)

![Overview of 1.12 Population Supression Bugs [Falling Block Episode 1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KU3lN1IUhuE/hqdefault.jpg "Overview of 1.12 Population Supression Bugs [Falling Block Episode 1]
Summary: 1. Redstone dust has a global flag that can be set to false, and then redstone dust doesnt power blocks anymore.
2. You can fully load the area around an unpopulated chunk without populating it. Unpopulated chunks are invisible.
3. To turn on instant tile ticks you do not need thousands of rails. 4 observers in a circle are enough to update supress the liquid pocket.
4. There is no way to get instant tile ticks in the end dimension.
5. While instant tile ticks are on, tile tick blocks do not work if they are less than 8 blocks away from unloaded chunks.

It gives a slightly less detailed explanation with superior audio quality.

If you need any help with falling block contraptions you can ask in the Threadstone Discord: https://discord.gg/JNSreKhuGd
Some small details I forgot to mention or only found out afterwards:
1. After getting two async lines and reclustering the glass chunk, you need to turn off the instantfalling flag before you can do the generic method. To turn off the instant falling flag you can just populate a chunk in a different dimension. So for example if you do the chunk swaps and the generic method in the overworld, then you can turn off instantfalling by making a player fly to ungenerated chunks in the nether or the end.
2. When you try to get the falling chorus plant block, you need to put another chorus plant next to the location where the falling block gets created, because otherwise the chorus plant block that gets created through word tearing will just destroy itself.
3. The contraption that uses registry word tearing for creating the chain command block needs to be used with shulker boxes that have no nbt tags on them, otherwise it can crash the server. You can see whether a shulker box has nbt tags on it by using the F3+H advanced tooltips. A shulker box from a crafting table will have no nbt tags, while a shulker box that was placed down and mined again will have nbt tags even when it is empty. So make sure to use the contraption with freshly crafted shulker boxes that have never been placed down.
