A similar concept with blocking the beacon beam was previously (2021) posted on the Technical Minecraft Archive discord by Zomie101: discord.com/channels/594920796867133446/594937596786900993/892030086847549510Perfect Projectile Alignment2No2Name2024-02-04 | World download: discord.com/channels/211786369951989762/424533304088330240/1203708086838108271 from the Scicraft Discord world-and-litematics channel discord.gg/scicraftSplash Potion Farm using Magic2No2Name2023-11-14 | Vindicators are the real wizards in minecraft with their mind-control abilities.The Power of Captain Johnny2No2Name2023-11-09 | Captain Johnny can mind bend other mobs into attacking themselves. Even worse than the witch farm. Also nice regeneration potion farm, replaces beacons for poor players.Fastest Witch Farm Concept2No2Name2023-11-09 | Based on weird observations by methodzz and code reading by me. Besides witches, this witch farm farms fast witches. Credit to the minecraft wiki: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Patrol
There is a reason why this requires vindicators instead of pillagers. Do not question it. Reading the code cannot be recommended. It is one of the more obscure things in minecraft.
To convert this witch farm into a redstone farm, use an item sorter.

The water-based azalea plant detection is an innovation that ilmango asked for a few days ago, when he was working on a system to automatically get wood for a crafting system in his peaceful challenge series. Ilmango's channel: youtube.com/channel/UCHSI8erNrN6hs3sUK6oONLA
Support this channel: patreon.com/2No2NameWireless Redstone in Minecraft 1.16+ Survival (Reliable + Unlimited Range)2No2Name2021-04-07 | EntityID-based wireless redstone. Works on minecraft 1.14+ servers. It has an unlimited range, receiver and transmitter have to be placed in the same dimension. The number of possible channels in the design from this tutorial is 4096, but adding more repeaters allows using more channels. This design is using a 20gt clock to allow using daylight sensors for synchronization, but faster clocks can be used with minor changes. The system is very reliable if it is used on a server and not in singleplayer worlds. I believe that chunk generation can theoretically be picked up by the receiver by accident, but generating chunks by flying around for half an hour did not cause a single false trigger from a receiver. If you have any problems with the system, either write a comment or ping me on the scicraft discord.
Material list for the receiver: Full Block: 73 Glass: 31 Redstone Repeater: 24 Redstone Dust: 18 Dropper: 12 Items to put into the droppers: 18 Unstackables, ~10 items of two different types

Llamas are very reliable mobs, but many other mobs can replace them. Bonus points if you are using a drowned zombie.Player Online Detector V2 for Minecraft 1.162No2Name2020-12-11 | In this video I present a new more reliable player online / in world detector. It can be used to track when a player logs in or out, or changes dimensions. It is very simple to build but requires a cat which was tamed by the targeted player. Detecting the player being online in the same world is useful for wireless redstone or to prevent enderpearl statis chamber activations when the player is not in the same world. This contraption works in Minecraft 1.14, 1.15 and 1.16+
Due to a bug with reloading chunks breaking leashes on cats and dogs, the previous design youtube.com/watch?v=BudRgJyLPlA broke.
SciCraft Discord: discord.gg/scicraft Support this channel: patreon.com/2No2NameMinecraft 1.16+: Water without source and sponge without block updates2No2Name2020-06-05 | ...Simple Player Online Detector Minecraft 1.162No2Name2020-05-29 | Ever since stray cats were added to Minecraft it is possible to detect whether the owner of a cat is online and in the same world. By using an ancient mechanic of cats sitting on top of chests and blocking them, a comparator can be used to detect that the cat sat down or stood up. When a player logs out or switches worlds, the comparator will update and will output whether the player is in the same world.
In many minecraft versions there is a bug that leashes can break under rare circumstances. If you have problems with this detector in some versions, build it inside the spawnchunks.

In Minecraft 20w12a fishfarms were nerved heavily. It became impossible or very hard to detect the bobber being pulled down without also making it not drop any treasure. The farm in the video circumvents that by extending the time the bobber is being "pulled down" and running on a clock. The video is recorded on the scicraft snapshot server after methodzz came to help with the hopper clock and testing, while ilmango was derping around pranking us with flying chickensSolution to Just get the lamp | Minecraft Challenge2No2Name2019-12-11 | This is an answer to Edds challenge: youtube.com/watch?v=3Ky2IqYJvyQsilent and cheap instantwire and bud array | Minecraft2No2Name2018-04-12 | This instantwire uses only rails (powered or activator) and one observer every 8 blocks. Make sure you build the observers with their face on NORTH or WEST side and their outputs facing SOUTH or EAST. The bidirectional repeaters using pistons prevent the update supression bug and are recommended every few hundred blocks. (It is also possible to avoid slimeblocks, redstone redirection seems to be the way to go though.) This wire can also be used to trigger instant dropper lines (the rails have to updated at the correct end for the update order to be correct then). For some reason a clock is created when updating the sloped rail at the output of an observer. (placing a block above the sloped rail will not create a clock). Spamming it (e.g. placing an observer facing the rails) might cause a clock. It is possible to build designs that have a downwards facing observer and a sideways facing observer below the rail, but those seem to have to be triggered only at the correct end.
