Theorycraft about seeds and speedrunning, part 1 : the bases of seed theory (late 42 sub special) Azelef 2015-08-16 | This is the first part of my theorycraft about seeds and speedrunning. In this episode, we talk about the bases of seed theory.You can download this video :-As a powepoint : http://www.mediafire.com/view/1bzzq6a0215azat/seedpart1.pptx-As a PDF : http://www.mediafire.com/view/264lendfpwflse4/seedpart1.pdfThe next episode will be about speedrunning. The new set seed glitchless seed was supposed to be made public at that moment, but was published by error, and used by AntVenom, followed by a few other runners. Please post any remark you have in the comments.Thanks to :-The speedrunning community, especially tarokichi, sethbling, illumina1337 and crafterdark.-The people who reviewed the first versions of this video-Sancarn, for the concept and the name of "Theorycraft".-Mojang, for letting bugs in their game (and making the game, btw)-The MCP devs, for allowing everyone to have easily access to the source codeBackground music : windswept, by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Flying machines with only two pistons Azelef 2016-06-18 | I used to think 3 pistons were needed for a slimeblock flying machine. Actually, 2 are enough if you update them correctly.Samnrad's video : youtube.com/watch?v=lzY6wiXc314Myren's explanation : youtube.com/watch?v=8rzKUeQxBI0Music : One sly move by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
11x11 fast seamless trapdoor teaser - Minecraft Azelef 2016-04-01 | Almost one year ago, Minecraftster148790 released his 5x5 seamless piston trapdoor, unparallelled to this day as far as I am aware. Approaching this anniversary, it was time for me to take on the noble task of knocking him off the throne of seamlessness, that is, with a 11x11 design.Unfortunately, I didn't really have time to make a proper showcase video yet, especially with the recent lag issues, so I decided to go with this smaller video instead for now. I hope you still enjoy. :)================================================LinksMinecraftster148790's seamless 5x5 trapdoor (it's also flush and made of glass) (largest seamless trapdoor to date?)youtube.com/watch?v=-8yqxhjwCWM(Man, I expected you to make a 10x10 one :(. This is overkill, now.)Missed anything? Let me know in the comments!
[Cool edit] The worlds smallest 2x2 piston door Azelef 2016-03-21 | I have tons of things to say, so I'll start with the most interesting stuff and end with the least interesting.-This video was recorded using the replay mod by CrushedPixel and edited using After Effects by Adobe. It uses 17 videos and 13 screenshots, and took me a lot of time to make (a 2 digit number of hours). Editing videos is hard, especially when you are doing it for the first time :p. You can download the AE project here : http://www.mediafire.com/download/m6f59j896ozi5i8/2x2door.zip .-I wanted to do this for a long time, but the video that made me actually start working on it was Project Fe: Chapter Two (youtube.com/watch?v=N3P4jlgLPxc), by Crash89 and edited by TDL. TDL gave me a few tips and tricks, so he gets the first place in the "Thanks to" list and a link to his channel : youtube.com/channel/UCx7G8Gca0U5ZeRSkz6caW4w .-I think Mumbo was talking about pressure plate powered 2x2 doors when he said his 72 block design was about as compact as possible. That's not an exact quote, but who cares ?-I am quite happy with this video, there are only 3 details I don't really like :1.AE doesn't like motion tracking the 1x4 side of the door, so that part of the video is shorter than what it could have been (and the "6 long" text appears a bit late.2.The moon and the stars are flickering a bit and sometimes have weird shapes.3.The recordings are 480p and I am too lazy to rerender them at an higher resolution, so the video is 480p. I think that makes the text a bit pixelated.I could have fixed 1. and 3. if I wanted to make this video absolutely perfect, but I don't know how to fix problem 2.-While making this video, I found two youtubers who made similar designs : JaMesBurnt and Innocraft (take a look at his channel, he makes great contraptions : youtube.com/channel/UC3C6_x5tjf8xxquaefMmeFA)-The font I used didn't include ! and ?, so I added them. The new font is included in the project files.-The intro uses Mr Horse's easy animation presets. My profile pic was made by ChrisL21 from deviantart (but it's to small to see the differences with the original redstone texture), and the music used is Sacred - One Love-If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
[Showcase] The luckiest end portals Azelef 2015-12-10 | And here is the video you have all been either waiting for or not waiting for ! Finally, a 12 eyed portal has been found in vanilla Minecraft. This will allow speedrunners to completely skip the ender eye collection part of their runs, making them potentially faster.For the lazy :The 12 eyes seed is 290482260067070826An explanation will be uploaded on Crafterdark's channel : youtube.com/user/Crafterdark , and a tutorial explaining how to generate more of these seeds will be on mine.Do people even read descriptions ?Anyway, that's cool, and the 12 eyed seed is now the second rarest seed known in Minecraft.Crafterdark's showcase : youtube.com/watch?v=oN4rKo-kPVA .Crafterdark's explanation : youtube.com/watch?v=auT33-1sjm8 .Ask me any question you have in the comments.
AMIDST 2^48 : A stronghold duplication and seed finding tool. Azelef 2015-12-06 | This tool allows you to "duplicate" strongholds.

PeterjiangTWs Untamable bomb... defused by Azelef Azelef 2015-11-13 | Turns out it only works with Forge installed...

Infinite mineshaft : the explanation Azelef 2015-11-05 | A lot of redditors asked me to upload the explanation of the infinite mineshaft, so I decided that the sooner would be the better, and made it today.Download this video as a PDF : http://www.mediafire.com/download/6tk1dpus4wy8da1/mineshaftexplanation.pdfThere might be some errors, or unclear points, please inform me of these.To sum up :-This is due to a glitch that happens when the Minecraft RNG generates 0.-The answer was 164311266871034 (and the original seed was 107038380838084).-The winner is Panda 4994.Links :-Explanation of minecraft seeds : youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8bodJyzio-Showcase : youtube.com/watch?v=fnwAdUTlEvI-Panda's channel : youtube.com/user/Panda4994Two more things :-Putting a moving wither cage inside an infinite cave could create the first 100% automatic diamond mining quarry in minecraft.-As /u/flarn2006 said, (3485,64,-1357) is an awesome place in the original seed.
A truly infinite mineshaft ! [showcase] Azelef 2015-11-04 | Here is the video about the infinite mineshaft bug !Rules of the challenge :-This mineshaft is "infinite" along the X axis. In order to show that you understood the game mechanics behind this, you will have to give me a seed that generates an infinite mineshaft along the Z axis.-You can either PM me or post a comment on this video.-If nobody finds how this works (this shouldn't happen, knowing the minecraft community), I may start giving hints after a few days.Seed : 107038380838084If this is ever reported as a bug, I think that it should be closed as "working as intended", because it's cool and doesn't cause any problems.If you are still reading this description, then tell me in the comments what your favorite number is, and why (this seed isn't a valid answer).
Theorycraft about seeds and speedrunning, part 2 : similar worlds and speedrunning Azelef 2015-10-02 | Here is the second part of my Theorycraft about seeds !It explains how two different seeds can generate worlds with the same stongholds, and how this can be useful for speedrunning.First part (in case you missed it) :youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8bodJyzioDownload this Theorycraft :Part 2, PDF : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cof8bblsj5nd60g/seedpart2only.pdfParts 1 and 2, PDF : http://www.mediafire.com/download/204hot5vcgyx207/allseed.pdfPart 2, PPTX : http://www.mediafire.com/download/x2bx8ixgu8cw740/seedpart2only.pptxParts 1 and 2, PPTX : http://www.mediafire.com/download/9g3h68wpenvjzq7/allseed.pptxThanks to :-The speedrunning community, especially tarokichi, sethbling, illuminaHD and crafterdark.-Sancarn, for the concept and the name of "Theorycraft".-The MCP devs, for allowing everyone to have easily access to the source codeMusic : Windswept, by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Contains a small part of this video : youtube.com/watch?v=Z4qK99u0hHoMade using Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Movie Maker (yes), Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Minecraft.137

Universe death clock in MCPE Azelef 2015-02-15 | The video shows a 4-bit counter made with minecart based T-flip-flops.It can be used as a 1-minute timer, but if you add more T-flip-flops, the duration increases exponentially : with 25 of them, it will last a year, and with 330, it will continue until the death of our universe.I realized that editing videos takes a while (it took me about an hour), and I don't have time to make a better quality video.Please leave a comment to tell me if you liked the video.Q&A:Where is the universe death clock?:It is the same system, but repeated 330 times instead of 4.Why is there no sound?:because I don't have a microphone.Do you play PC?:Yes, but my PC is too slow to play minecraft and record at the same time.
