[YourMakingMeNervous]

This is so brilliant i want to give you an award.

[robot797]

NICE WORK

[RunescapeVideoHQ]

lol, 0:50-1:16 there is a like kind of rap beat in the sand. listen to it closely lol.

[thedustah]

@RunescapeVideoHQ seems more like dubstep to me

[Aleque]

thanks :)

[flussence]

I've started using this method for mining sand. Knock out a solid block two below the bottom sand block, put a torch there (preferably a wall-torch on a block you'll remove later) and then remove the one above it for instant sand. You can clear out a whole sand dune in a day this way with a little practice.

[narc0tiq]

@flussence Or you can dig out the bottommost sand block with a torch in hand -- if you time it right, you can place the torch in that moment before the sand above occupies the block, but after it starts falling.

[schick413]

Oh man, this is simply incredible. I am definitely going to use this idea. How do you come up with this stuff? Trial and error?

[narc0tiq]

@schick413 Other people come up with it, I just read/watch and remember. This particular video is just an illustration of someone else's idea, as detailed in the video description.

GAHHH MORE USEFUL EXCELLENT VIDEOS FROM YOU!

[xRawlins]

What accent is that? I hear it all the time and I never really thought about where the hell it comes from until now.

Great idea btw, I'll be using this after I submit this comment.

[narc0tiq]

@xRawlins The accent is Romanian, though, as others have said, it is similar to other European and near-Eastern accents.

I'm glad you found this useful :)

[narc0tiq]

@xRawlins I meant, of course, to speak of Near Eastern accents -- as in, accents from countries of the Near East.

[BrutalTurtle]

Awesome video

[TeenageProgrammer]

Hello reddit!

[iHackedLife]

[giantenemycrabX]

your accent is really cool!

[grokent]

Instead of deailing with the water, just put a ladder on the bottom block. It will catch your fall.

[narc0tiq]

@grokent It's possible to fall on top of a ladder rather than in front of it, which will deal damage to you. Water is safer.

[grokent]

@narc0tiq It's possible to overshoot a jump and clip the edge of the pool and be dealt damage. If you can land in a pool, you can hit the safe zone of a ladder. I do it all the time.

[highTrolla]

Does the water have to be 2 squares deep?

[narc0tiq]

@highTrolla At least two tiles deep, 3 for safety. More than that isn't necessary.

[mre88]

FOREVER ALONE.

[planetrob555]

You forgot to tell people to put water in there during the beginning.

[narc0tiq]

@planetrob555 I did? Well, crap. Eh, at least you can see what I did.

[Anonymous0057]

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!

[Sarstan]

I was sitting there going "Wow, he's going to feel dumb when he has to dig all of that sand down." Then I totally got slapped in the face with my ill knowledge right afterward. Awesome video!

[NAMLegolas]

I just tried this but with gravel... I had hope it would drop obsidian... No luck :(

Thanks for the neat trick!

[attackthem5]

@NAMLegolas Hmm, gravel dropping obsidian?

Do you mean flint?

If not, I am confused. Do explain.

[NAMLegolas]

@attackthem5 rofl, yes... I meant flint... my bad! xD

[attackthem5]

@NAMLegolas Sorry if you took any offence, I was jsut wondering fi this was some FUCKING AWESOME UPDATE I never heard of.

[NAMLegolas]

@attackthem5 Nah! I was building a wall out of obsidian, I guess that's why I said obsidian :3

[narc0tiq]

@NAMLegolas Yeah, this method of collapsing columns will never make flint. Glad you enjoyed it!

[DJRAMZY87]

@narc0tiq who really needs flint? its damn near useless. you need like maybe 5 flint. ... besides, this is for making SCAFFOLDS, not for mining out gravel.

[narc0tiq]

@DJRAMZY87 Some of us make and use our own arrows. And I was replying to the guy who wanted to make flint this way -- which doesn't work. Nothing wrong with asking a question.

[zConnection]

And pillar to the top of the world! Man your accent rocks. Great video, subscribed.

[StoplightRave]

You also just dig out the bottom sand block with the torch and place one really quick, don't need that dirt pile.

[l3wolf13]

Omg I shat brix

[uberOCD]

Awesome!!! Gonna try this mate :)

[moderndrunkard]

This and the "quick lake"? subscribed for future ingenious ideas. 

[narc0tiq]

@moderndrunkard Heh, hope I don't disappoint. Tomorrow: underwater bases.

[Zer0OZero]

At first I was going to say it was very stupid, but after seeing the end BRILLIANT.

[KirbyAlchemist]

@Zer0OZero My thoughts exactly. Subscribed!

[thoras101]

Lol when he's stacking the sand it kind of has a beat to it..

[omnidye]

BRILLIANT! Elegant, even.

[narc0tiq]

@omnidye Agreed. That's why I thought it was worth illustrating with video.

[zookuw]

Hi Sheep!

[leavoa]

You have an awesome accent! where are you from?

[Loncaros]

@leavoa

I guess he's from Romania.

[narc0tiq]

@Loncaros You guess correctly, sir! Good man.

[narc0tiq]

@leavoa I'm from Romania. Glad you like my accent!

[guyanonymous]

Thanks for a nice simple tutorial on a great idea.
