Red3yz' Minecraft Science? 1 - Mob Dropping, Spider Moving, Slime Size Reducing with Pistons/Lava

[drunkenmonkey2]

Just a tip for the splash potions, (if you didn't know this already) if you have any undead mob the potion of harming will heal them, and potion of healing will damage them.

[KCStrain]

Xisumavoid sent me here, love your videos!

[MegaIhateit]

I'm subbing. This is good.

[ZenFreak18]

Monkeyfarm got me here, great science, tutorial for this great xp farmer when you're done? You've earned my subscription!!

[smutsigaskor1]

Generikb got me here. I subscribed. Great science!

[red3yz]

@smutsigaskor1 did he ? awesome he's a nice guy :) hope you like it , kinda waiting for minecraft to stabilise before doing too much science, things keep changing at the moment...

[E1p0tat0k1ng]

Splash potions don't seem to work on SMP, really disappointed when I had to kill 400 zombies by hand after wasting 3 instant damamge splash potions...

[red3yz]

@E1p0tat0k1ng yeah mobs and smp don't seem to mix well :/

[TheCian10]

@E1p0tat0k1ng slash potions do work on servers! You said you used instant damage on the zombies right? Well instant damage doesn't harm undead (zombies & skeletons) you need to use instant health! :P I hope this helps and if you dont believe me you can check on the Wiki! :D

[E1p0tat0k1ng]

@TheCian10 Ok thanks will try that out soon XD

[TheCian10]

@E1p0tat0k1ng No problem buddy! ;-)

[TurbidMikey135]

@E1p0tat0k1ng Lol, instant damage makes zombies and skeletons regenerate health. For zombies and skeles you have to use health regen potion to kill the zombies. You use Instant damage(harming) for spiders, not sure if it works for blaze.

[robot797]

can i have the save for the slime machine

i realy want it in my world

[TobiX1337]

@robot797 rly not that hard to build it yourself. in the time you download it and copied to your world, you could ahve already build it yourself.

[robot797]

@TobiX1337 erm if you have my pc you would talk diverent

it takes 2 min to download 500MB if the site is fast enough

1 min to look and learn 3 min to copy

[TobiX1337]

@robot797 Dont know which one you want to copy, but if you just want the best (the last), than it take maybe 2min to build it, in case you have the resources.

[robot797]

@TobiX1337 i love the piston one

becaus many slimes you wont get

and than it may look awsome

btw how can i start a good lets play

what mic do i need?

[EpicFrogzacula]

Thumvs up if docm77 brought you here

[PerforateSquid]

At 3:21 i was thinking " I didn't know you could hit them with there egg and make them disapear." And at 3:26 I was thinking " Why is the slime hopping at him? Thats really weird."

And at 3:28 I was thinking "Why the hell are the sheep and the wolf attacking each other while running backwards." And at 3:39 when the egg materialized out of nowhere and flew at him and I was like "Oh."

[GoFVlaanderen]

Haha when he puts the mobs back in the eggs it's exactly like Pokemon ;D.

[GrandChamp1989]

Brilliant!

[HoboRabies]

I'm really looking forward to your next 2 episodes! Thumbs up from me!

[surfpunk70]

fantastic design red3yz, simple and compact.

[red3yz]

@surfpunk70 yup nice and simple for a change :)

[realSin7]

Brilliant, just the video I was looking for! I was trying to set up a slime crusher and now I know what to do:)!

[red3yz]

@realSin7 i have a very epic all size slime xp farm coming in a few days. just needs re-wiring/compacting and it'll be a real winner, so you might want to wait for that :)

[Deadman3016]

gr8 job guys ty for the leg work lol between u xis doc and etho you tend to clear my mind :P from its creative block :D

[red3yz]

@Deadman3016 sweet, hope you make something good :)

[TheNL1980]

Hee thedutchisland! Awesome! Good job about the slime stuff! Bye!

[red3yz]

@TheNL1980 yup, nice vids :) good luck dude :D

[savagelung]

Won't mobs that jump off the pads still take damage at the 3-block-high pads? You could place blocks to prevent them from falling into the streams by jumping, but maybe it would be better to drop them from the 5-6 block range.

[red3yz]

@savagelung yeah basically there are just a few heights you might want to avoid. yes it all depends on the specific setup, like my pads use 2 high gaps so no jumping. mobs will also fall on each other so no point trying to make it 100%.

[zeotech98]

Unrelated question how do you keep your FPS so stable at 30?

[zeotech98]

@zeotech98 lol after i posted i got to part in video that said you where making videos about recording help

[red3yz]

@zeotech98 yeah there's lots of little things i do, i'll explain them all :)

[AutomatorMC]

Great slime killer!

[red3yz]

@AutomatorMC :)

[InsertFunkyNameHere2]

this may seem mean but i dont want you to have millions of subscribers. hen you wont reply to comments

[red3yz]

@InsertFunkyNameHere2 lol well for now i'm replying :)

[PureOptic]

I found out a way to make a 100% efficient mob trap, so you don't lose any slimes. I'm gonna work on a video on it soon, if I do it, I'll send you a message :)

[red3yz]

@PureOptic yeah of course :D

[Iburinoc]

Yay my name is fixed! Thanks Red3yz!

[Iburinoc]

One problem with your XP farm design is that you will need to seperate skellys and zombies from the rest as instant damage heals them I believe.

[red3yz]

@Iburinoc i might re-crush them, still thinking about it..

[Iburinoc]

@red3yz I see. Maybe I'll do some testing, with the new mob eggs it makes mob testing so much easier.

[Gluutey]

But if you're going for small slimes only, it still beats a double cave spider spawner....

10 minutes in both yields a score of 518 (15.9) for slimes and 470 (15.1) for spiders. The slimes can do a lot better with improved drowners such as your designs or a drop down drowner version of the one robo made.

The slime farm used in this test had 3 16x16 spawning floors so a total of 768 spawning squares.

[red3yz]

@Gluutey i have a quad spider spawner as part of the same xp system :) and some traps too :) still havn't turned it on.

[Gluutey]

If you're going to use slimes for exp I would suggest to kill all 3 sizes....if you're only using small ones you will quickly fill up the mob cap and they will stop spawning.

I would also suggest to have the spawning pads high and the killing area low....gathering them and transporting them up takes longer then dropping them down and gathering them.

Slime farm at max spawn gives you lvl 50 exp within 20 minutes if you kill all sizes. Costs 60-100 instant dmg II potions, or 20 + diamond sword

[red3yz]

@Gluutey i realise im missing out on xp, but this is for a speed based system, so i only want to be there for a couple minutes, and use 1 potion only. also i thought split slimes did not contribute to the mob cap, so splitting them may be beneficial to increase spawn rates. speed or efficiency i guess. thanks for the info you seem to know your stuff :)

[Iburinoc]

Lol, you mispelt my name, but thanks for the shoutout!  Really appreciate it red3yz! Btw, if anyone tries to click on the link and it doesn't work, it's Iburinoc, not Iburonic :)

[red3yz]

@Iburinoc shit sry dude! i'm fixing it now, damn i'll re-feature maybe, you might have missed out. so sorry!

[Iburinoc]

@red3yz It's OK, my name isn't the easiest to remember :P. Really appreciate the shoutout :)

[docm77]

Good picks for the featured channels! Great you keep on supporting up and coming channels. As always, great and interesting content and silky smooth presentation. I could watch your vids all day long;-) Also, really like the size reducer for the slimes. Good job you two!

[red3yz]

@docm77 thanks man :D yup, just trying to help other like you helped me :) yeah the slime thing is pretty neat, and props to xisuma for the lava, for sure :)

[TheNL1980]

@docm77 Hee didn't you also spotlighted thedutchisland? Haha amazing! You, red3yz and Etho are my favorite youtubers you guys are awesomeeeee!!!!!! byebye!

[MagamCube]

Rapid Slime Size Reducer RSSR

[red3yz]

@MagamCube nice :D

[SurvivinMinecraft]

I've recently been doing some slime experimentation In hopes to setup a xp farm for them in my world, I wanted to have all 3 sizes of slimes in one area and to be able to 1 hit kill them, Then from there the Larges go to the medium tanks, Mediums to the small. This would involve three different holding cells and would be a lot more complicated then using just smalls, But you would get a lot more experience from doing a system like that.

[red3yz]

@SurvivinMinecraft yeah this does burn up xp. your system shouldn't be too complicated, maybe i'll try and build one too :)

[SurvivinMinecraft]

@red3yz Yeah, The only real tricky thing will be damaging them enough to one hit kill them. 

[medisterMC]

Brilliant! And so simple! (In a _good_ way) :D

[red3yz]

@medisterMC yup nice and simple for a change :)

[Rabenschild]

Nice video!!!

Ah, Xisumavoid the man behind some cool concepts!

[red3yz]

@Rabenschild he evolved the idea quite nicely, wish i had thought of the lava, seems so obvious now :)

[Biffa2001]

Very nice slime machine you have there, I like it a lot :-)

[red3yz]

@Biffa2001 thanks!

[drakfiskaren]

under the soul sand test have ice there its really slow then

[red3yz]

@drakfiskaren tried it, seems about the same. the soul-sand is actually there because it is shorter than other blocks, not becasue of its slowing ability, but thanks for the tip :D

[MrGreenWo1f]

Loved this, a perfect end to a Friday C:

I'll be sure to use these in my world !

[red3yz]

@MrGreenWo1f sweet :) weekend is here :D

[monkeyfarm]

Nice job on the slime crusher. :)

[red3yz]

@monkeyfarm thanks man, hope you saw the lava ones at the end, much better than the crusher, even though it is more of an achievement :)

[monkeyfarm]

@red3yz yeah, the lava crusher sorry. simple & sweet design.

[jket5v4]

problem with last small slime splitter! fence gates close if there's no redstone current going to it so just try and add a torch somewhere to both of them because then you can add a lever in your lp to turn it off and on that would be sick!!!

[red3yz]

@jket5v4 yup i think i'll do that :)

[DreamerforeverMetal]

Really, really, really good testing !

[red3yz]

@DreamerforeverMetal thanks, i realise now my presentation could be improved/ more scientific. but thanks :)

[DreamerforeverMetal]

@red3yz actually, I love it the way you do it now, a casual approach for complex solutions =)

[thedutchisland]

WOW Thank you soo much!!! Very nice from you to do channel spotlights! I can get every help possible! Thank you a lot and you're awesome!!!! Goodbye! - The Dutch Island

[red3yz]

@thedutchisland i hope it helps, even if its only a little bit :)

[thedutchisland]

@red3yz Haha of course it helps! But even if it was just one view it is still a great honor to be spotlighted by a guy like you!!!!!!! I feel great and you're awesome! Goodbye! - The Dutch Island ( big fan ;-p!!!!)

[DiamondPickaxeMC]

23:07 "I realised that you would never have this many slimes" 'cough' docm 'cough'

[red3yz]

@DiamondPickaxeMC Docm77 is not your average minecrafter! but like you saw, it's easy to expand :)

[xXMadXNessXx]

The Slime-Splitter is really smart!

[red3yz]

@xXMadXNessXx thanks :) again, the lava idea came from xisuma, but this is my design :)

[red3yz]

@xXMadXNessXx thanks, it isn't 100% efficient but it is close, and fast :)

[Cr0n1xx]

Thanks for all the useful info :)

[red3yz]

@Cr0n1xx cool, i will do another one of these at some point and try and make it a a bit more clear, with real numbers etc :) glad you liked it

[Jop2000minecraft]

Red3yz, you might have a lot of slimes in the slime farm if you use eggs in your Lp.

[red3yz]

@Jop2000minecraft that proably would make a lot of slimes :D can you get eggs legit?

[Masterkoen82]

@red3yz nope

[selulancie]

Very interesting testing:) Always appreciate these kinda tests. About that weird behaving fence gate, I think it got updated by particles from the lava. Since they are now controll-able with redstone, you must power them (I assume) to keep them in the open state. Just like when putting a block or particle next to a un-updated piston!

[red3yz]

@selulancie yup i'm just not gong to use them anywher i want them to stay open :/

[Random2251]

If that spider transport really works in survival while being tracked, I like it =) a lot more elegant and simple than the mess of water streams usually needed to move and join spiders

[red3yz]

@Random2251 yup i wsa pleasantly surprised :) and i found the trick in my survival world, so it does work. but like i said 1 can get stuck, but i think that is the same with the other design. this setup also seems to work with wolves.

[Ben10LPs]

WOW !

nice work !

Greetz Ben :D

[TheReedim]

Wonderful! =) I really like these mob science videos.

[red3yz]

@TheReedim thanks :) you're pretty good at it too. btw anyone, check this guy out, he made the first sheep/cow seperator! it does kill them but still!

[MrJuddernaught]

Check out @GenerikB for his slime drowner. It's 100% effective and doesn't require moving pistons.

[red3yz]

@MrJuddernaught just after the piston crushers there were fast lava slime size reducers. i was just showing the progression of the design. the pistons are junk i agree, but lava is awesome :) and yeah check out generikb's thing too, why not :D

[adognamedsally]

@MrJuddernaught He went through drowning; its slower than pistons, and both are slower than lava.

[w00dYd3luXe]

great video ;) when can we expect a new lp episode? =)

[red3yz]

@w00dYd3luXe soon, i need to get my new project to a stage where i can film without getting confused by it :)

[Schknheit]

Nice video man!

[red3yz]

@Schknheit wasn't too sure people would like it :)

[TheBlackopsification]

AMAzING! :) really like this, need more, lol xD

[red3yz]

@TheBlackopsification cool, good to know :) thanks

[xisumavoid]

Great video dude :D

[red3yz]

@xisumavoid thanks, science is fun :D

[KTOxxGANGSTERx]

you sir just earned yourself a sub :D

[red3yz]

@KTOxxGANGSTERx welcome, hope you like it!

[xisumavoid]

The fall damage test is so interesting, but when used in a mob spawner some mobs may land ontop of one another and take collision damage, Aswell as this you need to do your cavespider test in survival because the spiders arn't tracking you.

[red3yz]

@xisumavoid yeah it's wierd, and yes there will always be collisions. and yeah ishould have shown the spiders in survival, but it works fine, tracking in all directions, well for me at least although it might depend on the direction of the canal itself. nice slime reducers eh ;) thanks dude

[hcbtGaming]

lol

[red3yz]

@hcbtGaming :D

[mmorphyn]

loving the slime reducer !

[red3yz]

@mmorphyn again, shoutout to xisuma, seemed so obvious oncehe said lava, but there you go. always good to spread your ideas :)

[red3yz]

@DanishArtholones thanks :D

[andalite191294]

Very well presented! Thanks for this, I'll be using it soon ;P

[red3yz]

@andalite191294 the slimes? i might do a seperate tutorial seeing as it's so simple. only needs a 3 minute video really. but yeah use it, that's the idea :D

[andalite191294]

@red3yz The slimes definitely! I've been needing to make a slime farm that splits for ages xD

[andy93h]

a slime race...LOL

[red3yz]

@andy93h spawning mobs is so much fun :)

[IRWBRW964]

Cave spiders doing moonwalking :D

[red3yz]

@IRWBRW964 impressive with 8 legs :D

[112blacklist]

@Red3yz if you trow a potion of instand damage at a zombie or skeleton the wil gain healt

[red3yz]

@112blacklist i know, i will either re-crush or seperate them, but with new a.i. guy at work, i think seperating them might be a waste of time. we'll see

[Shroomer83]

How do you think the new mob AI will affect mob harvesters?

[red3yz]

@Shroomer83 as long as mobs spawn, mob harvesting will be possible. The distances and transport systems might need changing, or the sign/fencegate trick might stop working and reduce output, but the idea will still work :)

[mrdomenfly]

finnaly red3yz :D love your vids as always.And nice usful tips about slime"s.

[red3yz]

@mrdomenfly sorry it took so long, loads of unexpected stuff happened including my neighbours shed burning down :o and yeah there was some full on science going on :)

[Proniem]

@Red3yz nice video keep it up, extremely interesting!

[red3yz]

@Proniem thanks :) yup there is still good stuff to be learned in minecraft for sure :)

[DreamerforeverMetal]

when are you going to do the correction video of the redstone wars?

[red3yz]

@DreamerforeverMetal sorry forgot to mention that! guess i should do that next, it shouldn't be too long of a video. i'll film it today.

[DreamerforeverMetal]

@red3yz thnx buddy

[SokarEntertainment]

Xisuma has been talking about you, and I remember we met very brifly a few months back, so I thought I'd check in on you. Very nice and informative video buddy :)

[red3yz]

@SokarEntertainment yeah i remeber you for sure :) i'll also have to check out what you're up to, i need to do some rail stuff and remeber you had a pretty good system :)

[SokarEntertainment]

@red3yz Awesome! If you ever want another pair of eyes on that rail stuff, just let me up via PM :)

[tyllepylle]

FIRST!!
