Prototype Minecraft Recording Studio

This is a prototype of a machine for extracting records from creepers in Minecraft. The basic technique for getting a record is described in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv-nktoYhhM. This is the high-tech method.

The final version of the machine will be built in obsidian, for durability. Apparently, 12 more records will be added to Minecraft - http://c418.org/archives/673 I will be ready.

Please note: an update to Minecraft on or around December 1 introduced a bug in the game. When a skeleton shoots, the arrow comes out from above its head. This means that the arrow gets stuck in the ceiling of my recording studio, and it no longer works the way it did in this video.

You can vote to have the bug fixed, here: http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/arrows_spawn_to_high_on_character_mo...

@wateverrrrrrrrrrrrrr Sounds like a good idea. I hope it goes well. One thing to be aware of: as of the game update about a week ago, there is a bug in Minecraft that prevents my recording studio from working the way it did in the video. See the description for more information.

This video was what finally got me experimenting with redstone circuits. Thank you for uploading this, I've had a lot of fun messing around with redstone ever since I saw it!

@423ytsd That's great! You're welcome.

Hey in your credits thing you said you use kdienlive that means you use Linux. Unless there in a version for windows/mac. If you use Linux I gotta say I use it to and love it

[TotemoResearch]

@Buffboy1001 Yep. Fedora 13 Linux (x86_64).  ffmpeg for screen capture is super effective and Kdenlive is reasonable, although there are some things I'd like to see added. I mention them because it took some searching to find decent video production tools. But I'm happy now.

you should trap the skeleton in there then block the room off from all light and instead of a door just have something so water can go through but the skeleton can't. this would save quite a bit of time searching for a new skeleton every night. you still would need the door with the creeper and find one every night though

@TotemoResearch nice skin made your self?if you want to make your own skin tell me

[JJ72X72]

Wheres a tutorial to make an studio for records?

[Venomsoar]

more like a vinyl pressing factory but still it's very creative I loved it.

[ariwcharles]

@syoncle You can't actually record records. You can get records with pre-recorded permanent tracks from underground treasure chests or by killing a creeper with a skeleton as shown here.
