Sand duper using the end gateways?

Hi guys, I’m doing a challenge run where I’m not allowed to leave the end, and I was wondering if it were possible to get a sand/gravel/concrete powder duper working using the end gateways. I’m playing 1.21.4 btw

Best way to get gold and iron in early-game Skyblock? (No nether)

I'm currently playing a skyblock world on bedrock edition where the nether is not given to you. I checked it out in creative mode, and it is a normal nether, so I might not use it as a challenge anyway.

So far, the only method I can think of is to get gold and iron through smelting the armour that zombies and skeletons drop. However, this is taking forever. I need 16 ingots for 2 gold apples (for villagers), and I've only got 3 after farming for days.

Are there any other methods that you guys can think of? Much appreciated 🙏

Will villagers ignore blocks of interest they can't pathfind to?

I want to build my house in a village, so I wonder whether building a fence around it or using a fence gate or an iron door for entrance will prevent villagers from trying to occupy the bed and the job site blocks inside the house, or if they will still try to reach the blocks no matter what if they're closer than those available elsewhere in the village.

Version: 1.20.1

How does one keep the signal from a calibrated sculk sensor going for longer?

Hi! As the title asks, I'm wondering how to keep the signal going longer for a calibrated sculk sensor. I have it set at 5 on the lectern for equipping gear, and have tried pulse extenders, but nothing keeps it live long enough for a good piston door setup. Any tips on how to fix it without any, or much, added noise?

Spider Farm kill zone help

I've been using a version of Mogswamp's spider farm since the early days of my vanilla skyblock world. Originally i had a killzone with no hoppers that was a 2x2 square at the bottom of a drop that left them with around 2 HP. Collection of string was manual. I eventually added 4 campfires but the principle was the same.

I now finally have a supply of iron so built hoppers with the intention of putting them below the campfires. However i forgot that the campfires were placed at lower build limit. So i thought i would just move everything up a block and reduce the drop but since i did that the spiders have started climbing back up the drop, massively reducing the production rate. To be honest i have no idea why for one block more falling they do not climb back up but i rebuilt it to test and its definitely the case. Any ideas on this?

Anyway rather than pulling down the entire farm (which i will one day) i just want to create a steady automated stream of string for villager trades. Does any one have any tips or different approaches to the kill zone. I wondered if filling the drop with water and using magma cubes to pull them down and kill would work?

What happens if saturation is 0.5 and then 1 is took away. Is there an ‘overdraft’ of -0.5?

My understanding of the hunger system is as follows:

First there is an exhaustion bar, once that reaches 4. 1 gets took away from saturation. (Maximum of 20)

Once saturation reaches 0. 1 hunger point is took away.

(EXTRA QUESTION) Am I now right to think that each time exhaustion reaches 4 another hunger point gets took away? Or does being at saturation 0 put you on a timer where you’re losing hunger at specific intervals?

To what extent are those decimal places of saturation accounted for. Ie cooked steak is 12.8. Of course it makes sense that decimals add up as you’re filling the saturation bar, but once you reach 1.5 and it’s time to take away 1. Does saturation now go to 0.5 and no hunger is yet used up. On the next time to take 1 saturation does this only get reduced to 0 or does it get reduced to zero and goes into an overdraft that need to be accounted for? Is this different between versions?

1.21.4 World Border Survival

With the changes to enderpearls, I was wondering if there was now an easier way to get to the world border - using a cannon to launch a pearl directly there (since they should load their path?) If not, what’s the easiest way currently to get there? Any recommendations for tutorials? Thanks❤️

Any idea why this isn't working?

https://preview.redd.it/xn19dzmk848e1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=93a29f87f9ae938a378470d36c56f8a86e01b85d

I have a sugar cane farm with a minecart system under it to collect stuff. For some reason, minecarts will start to randomly stop moving. After a few hours ~9/10 of them will have stopped.

I don't think it's a power issue because it can run fine for a bit.

TNT Looting/Lazy Looting Guardian Farm - TNT destroys drops

Guardian Farm WIP

I am in the process of building a guardian Farm using Portals seen in Screenshot 1.
For the Netherside I sliced the Portal so the Guardians fall directly down.

I am trying to incorporate TNT/Lazy Looting to further maximize the drops, because Armrostand/Sword-Looting is quite annoying because of the thorns from the guardians.

In a test world I tried a similar setup like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqDuy9F6oT8 but for the amount of Mobs I needed something faster. In cubicmetres Video he showed a TNT Looting Module for his EOL farm https://youtu.be/2O223xMu65Y?t=2334
I build cubicmetres TNT Looting module without the skelleton but when I am using it I get far fewer Drops than without looting.
I used Carped TIS addition to log Item Entity Deaths and it looks like a lot of the drops get blown up by the TNT-Looting system.

Item Deaths with TNT Looting

Is it possible to use TNT Looting without destroying the drops? Do you guys have any working designs or tips on how to change/adjust the design to prevent item deaths?

I found this mineshaft with 4 spawners and would like help with what to do. I want to turn it into one big farm. Should I separate them and funnel them into 1 chamber?

Creaking spawns

I’ve built a creaking farm containing 88 creaking and I’m making a build to go around the farm while spawn proofing said build. My problem is I’m getting creaking spawns on top of iron bars and lighting rods. I was under the impression these were not spawnable blocks as they should technically be transparent, is this not the case? I’m playing on bedrock as well

Tmc resources dump

Let me dump a bunch of useful tmc resources here. I hope they can help most people. That's my Christmas gift to you, guys.

Redstone Modeler - An enhanced version of rs editor, where you can make 2d redstone plans on your cellphone

Litematic viewer - A website where you can drop a litematic file and see schematics on your cellphone. I even have a small tutorial on how to use it here

Litematic converter - A website where you can drop your litematic for 1.21 and make it compatible for 1.17. Works with more versions than that but that was an exemple

Minecraft block property encyclopedia - Search for blocks with unique properties for specific needs

Minecaft technical discord recollector - A discord server that archives other technical minecraft discord servers

Check out my subscriptions on Youtube to find more quality redstone youtubers (ignore theysix and shulkercraft. They're there for hate purposes)

You can find even more stuff on my discord server, in the bottom portion dedicated to tmc resources archiving. This isn't even 1/10th of what's on there. I just put the best of the best in here. You can find mods, wiring tricks, video editing stuff, a catalog of videos explaining different techs, more redstone communities and more.

I could also use of more suggestions to add to my discord tmc archive!

Decent Quad Witch Hud Large Biomes Seeds

If you are a technical MC player and really need THIS kind of seeds you´re probably nerdy enough to find this out yourself. Still, for those who aren´t willing or don´t have the time to look an entire day (yes, did it) for a decent Quad Witch Hud Seed with Large Biomes: gotcha :)

I generated many different seeds via Cubiomes Viewer. Most of them had a fcked up nether (basalt deltas spwan, fotress/bastion far´away etc.) but finally i got around it and got those seeds (still fuming :).

All seeds have:
- Quad Witch Hut at -2630 6587 (all the same bc of worldgeneration)
- Village close to spawn (<50 blocks)
- nether spwan (0 0) in nether wastes (not too bad terrain) with a good accessible fortress ~80 blocks south (all the same bc of worldgeneration)
- nether fortress completely in a soulsandvalley at -1909 -741

Try out the seeds on Seedmap, to see which one fits your desires best :)
(Didnt try it on Bedrock, but im pretty sure that worldgeneration works the same as on Java)
Thank me later:

Can someone who knows technical survival answer my question? :D

Hi, I really want to start a massive technical survival but I don't know much in depth which version is better and how I can start in the best possible way. They also recommend doing normal farms first and then massives or how?? It would be a great help if someone helped me with this. Do you also recommend using fabric pq? And what mods and textur packs might interest me? I have searched for information on youtube and I can't find anyone who explains it well the truth is that I have a cocoa in my head that freaks out if someone can tell me it would be of great help

Potential Quasi-Connectivity Issue

https://preview.redd.it/tw3udc1esz7e1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9c5711c1e14475e4439b6f75500d71f3bcc3169

There is a button here!

I am attempting to use simple button-activated jukeboxes for my music discs on my multiplayer server. However, after one use, the dropper will not activate until a block is broken or placed next to it. I am not very experienced in redstone, but based on my research I believe this to be quasi-connectivity keeping the dropper powered and unable to deactivate. The strange thing is that this does not occur on my singleplayer test world.

Does anyone have any insight on what is causing this, and any potential solutions? Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to figure out what concrete duper I wanna use. I've settled on this one, and I've been testing it. I use kahyxen's simple chunk loader, and it works for a few seconds, then it breaks. The grav blocks I'm using turn into items. This isn't the first time a grav duper has broken during tests
