Minecraft beta 1.7.3 - FAILED: harvesting a wheat field by having pistons deliver every block to you

Texture pack: Misa's 64×64 Realistic. This, and JohnSmith (32x32), is the only one so far I liked for longer use. I didn't use the original for the video because the glass just looks ugly, and 16x16 is just too coarse.

I tried a new method to harvest wheat fields - which sadly utterly fails because blocks transported by pistons do not take saplings, flowers, or wheat with them - they just pop off. I hope that this will change in the future. And people standing on moving blocks should properly move with them. I think it's realistic to assume that Mojang will make all this proper before the official release of Minecraft comes out by the end of this year.

The pistons are triggered by a controller with a "program" (It's not a computer.) in the basement, which is explained a bit.

EDIT: The one hoe-ing the blocks is me. I pressed F1 to hide the GUI. I wish that Mojang would change F1 to toggle between *three* states instead of two: There should also be "no GUI, but you see your hand with the tool". I'd play like that all the time, I guess.

I tried to upload this video (2 GB) in 3 or 4 nights. Always failed. YOUTUBE SUCKS! Why do they not offer FTP upload? All they have is simple browser-upload, and then an advanced version of that which uses Java to automatically continue in case the connection gets lost. But this didn't work for me. Maybe my net dropped in those nights (I slept.), then I would have gotten a new IP. That might be the reason.

Anyway: The YouTube deciders are ASSHOLES for not offering a solution that features true transfer resume. You can't place yourself in the middle of public interest and then be sub-standard! They are preventing us from having a proper standard video site by being 1) prevalent and 2) shitty. And what's with the WHITE background? Man.

And still no aspect-ratio-controls or sound-time-shift (to correct asynchronous videos). STONE AGE! They should NOT be THE video website!

The reason why the wheat wont move is because it has a memory placement on the ground its on like a chest that's why you cant move a chest because it saves the item on that placement . But the reason why the wheat gets destroyed is because it needs one hit to get if of the ground unlike chests where it takes more than a second to destroy it.

@yoyoyokiller The wheat doesn't get destroyed. It goes the way the player would go if standing on a horizontally moving block: It falls into the ground.

This is amazing, but isn't it easier to just go there and do what you need instead of this?

[OwnerOfTheCosmos]

@Nieqize Indeed it is easier to do everything by hand. Apart from a direct button-redstonepath-door "circuit", I have never done redstone until the pistons came out. Since then, I am absolutely hooked. And, being redstone-happy, I just wanted to try something that I hadn't seen before. Also, I wanted to expand my program-sequencer building skills (the wall-exchange video had only 1 bit).

(Besides, hint: Holding the crouch key while walking over a field keeps everything intact.)

@1996luke1996 By the way, I am currently working on a "24 hour" clock that self-adjusts at dawn and at dusk. I hope that I'll finish it this weekend.

[Zarbon66]

This video is way way to long. But it server it's purpose.

[aepps2]

that "wheat farm" is just his cover for the "final solution"... u freak

[OwnerOfTheCosmos]

@znex37 Some guy on Reddit asked me the same to this video, here's the answer:

I'm holding a hoe.

I wish Mojang would change the F1 functionality to toggle between *three* states:

* full GUI

* no GUI

* No GUI, but you see the hand and what you hold in it.

I would give you the link to the suggestion on GetSatifaction, but YouTube doesn't let me reply with a link. FUCK YOUTUBE! It's so shitty, I can't believe it became *the* video web service.
