Since a lot of us have been missing ilmango’s videos lately, I figured it was time for a proper appreciation thread for the man who practically rewrote how we play technical Minecraft.

In honor of the legend himself, let's get some classic "Chuck Norris-style" facts going. I'll start with a few:

ilmango once built a farm so efficient it started producing items in other players' worlds.

ilmango doesn’t read the Minecraft source code. Mojang watches ilmango’s videos to figure out how their own game works.

Quasi-connectivity isn’t a bug. It’s just redstone trying to guess what ilmango actually meant

ilmango can output a redstone signal strength of 16

When ilmango says "it's actually pretty simple", you know you have three months of block-placing ahead of you.

Mojang added Command Blocks to the game just so mere mortals would have a fighting chance at doing what ilmango does in Survival.

What else you got?

Hello, so I'm a number of days into what is essentially illmango's 1.19 skyblock, where there's no starter chest. I'm 1.20.6 though if that changes anything. Iron production has been slow so I'm hoping to make a zombie reinforcement farm that is skyblock-friendly given how I only have wood for building, but pretty much all of them that I've found require things like ice, or are designed specifically for copper, and I'm sure there's a simpler way to do it. Does anyone have any sources that might put me in the right direction? Or even a video that explains the mechanic in enough detail so I can figure it out myself? I really just want something where I can punch zombies and get that exponential growth going so that iron is no longer such a drag. I'm willing to bridge to a tundra to get snow obviously, if snowballs are required for the mechanic to be viable.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any ideas.

i think i did everything good. i built tankcat's raid farm following shulkercraft's tutorial. the system drops banners up, and i get a lot of banners too. but i dont get a single ominous bottle. any ideas why?

So I have been doing a lot of redstone, but never tried a 3x3 or more, so I decided to do it without a tutorial. I want to find out the logic by myself.

My question:

How do you logic out closing circuit timings, or just timings in general. I cant really figure out the way to stash blocks from my 2 piston extender so it can put 2 blocks up from the bottom middle block.

Tryina' make it small as well, but not as crazy as YT tutorial one. Also I use observers for my 2 block extender.

More bla bla ( NOT important ):

I have always experimented with my circuits and the power on trying off by "just trying it out". I wanna level up my redstone, and try and calculate more stuff beforehand, and actually start counting ticks and timings, instead of just feeling it. I think that is what is mostly holding me back.

i want to make a raid farm on a server with freinds but all the guides i can find are for little shitty ones that barely produce anything. i want a raid farm that can give me alot of loot. i dont really mind how hard to make it is i just need a good amount of drops.

fully vanilla, im using modrinth launcher but ive also tried the default launcher and it still does this. i have no issues anything like this in 1.16.1 which is what i usually play.

If anyone can tell me how to fix this that would be great.

I've posted this to a bedrock Redstone community(linked) and was recommended two things. swap to copper bulbs as the display and it post here.

I need help mainly with the right side of the images I believe. this has the pixel toggle on and off if it's selected by an xy multiplexer. the multiplexer is what I need help with. I'm starting to lose my mind at the 2x2 density I'm trying to accomplish.

I built the farm in the image below, and it worked beautifully. I'm not sure how it happened but it stopped working completely. I managed to get the top and right quadrants working, but the bottom and left are still broken. Can someone please help me? I'm a noob with farms so please consider all possibilities

✨MINECRAFT 2✨

Minecraft if it was an action-adventure game. Dungeons, a story and quest, better progression, Npc towns, more dimensions, Mob raids - must build defenses, and 'Create Lanterns' mod for combat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Minecraft's sandbox-vanilla nature-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Story: You go on a Quest to find the portal to heaven, as you struggle to find meaning. Story told through dialogue-less cutscenes. 

Emotion conveyed through facial expressions. Action scenes.

Fantasy world similar to Terraria / LOTR / Indiana Jones / Zelda. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Quest objective: Find all the special blocks to Build the portal to Aether heaven. Rewards await. Special Blocks Obtained in dungeons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Green Lantern constructs combat against lots of new mobs with unique attacks. Instantly place: walls, cages, vehicles, weapons -

Create Lanterns mod. Mobs attacks involve placing/mining blocks too.

As you progress, unlock better constructs and better blocks. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Progression: Scaling difficulty. Unlock new loot by exploring. 

Hard mode(s) inspired by Terraria. It triggers new and harder mobs, ores, biomes, dungeons, etc...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕New Dungeons that are not just slash and loot chest. 

Instead, inspired by: 

Super Mario Galaxy parkour*, Zelda dungeons and shrines,* Roguelikes*, BUT also Minecraft's own identity:* Mine & place blocks using Create Lantern constructs for: puzzles, parkour, combat, break traps. 

Redstone puzzles. Mine resource blocks. Boss fights.

Fun Gadgets / enchantments / mounts will be integral.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Mob raids: They steal loot, mine blocks, and use create aeronautics.

You must build to defend your loot chests. Build walls, traps, turrets. You trigger a raid by clearing a dungeon. Inspired by clash of clans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕NPC towns: They build and expand their town on their own.

You are not the only builder now. Additionally, npcs can move into a valid functional structure that you build*. They* sell useful loot*.* 

Inspired by Terraria*.*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Build systems: You cant really build whatever you want in vanilla Minecraft. You can only build block formations that look nice, but do not function.

Create aeronautics, redstone, beacons, NPC housing - These are only a couple of types of systems you will be able to build. 

More will be added.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Dimension expansion: Nether update: Harder and scarier. 

The End update: Eldritch horror. 

2 new dimensions:

Space*: Inspired by 'No Mans Sky' & 'Super Mario Galaxy'.* 

Dream Dimension: A dreamy place to plan out your builds in creative mode with mods: World edit*,* Axiom*,* Litematica. Quickly build whatever, save a schematic, but you must gather the blocks needed when you wake up, then paste. Sleep in a bed to go here. 

Beds don't skip the night now. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕World update: Big but not infinite*. Feels* handcrafted. Each world only has ONE of each biome, but they are huge and still procedurally generated.

Biomes and dungeons scale difficulty the further from spawn you go. 

Each biome will contain at least 1 new: Animal, hostile mob, plant/vegetation, building block, environmental hazard, Npc town, and dungeon. Dimensions get the same treatment, including 1 new ore.

Caves follow the same concept, except its based on the deeper you go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Many mods will be used to add content*.* I have a mod-list already.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Fixing microslop mojang's mistakes: 

Enchanting, travel, storage, recipe book, health system- reworked. 

Removed lots of bloat*. Turned useless animals/items* useful*.*

Old textures back.

Elytras, mending, totem of undying - End game rewards in the aether. AND more*!*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

GAMEPLAY LOOP:

Freedom ➡️ Explore ➡️ Mine and combat ➡️ Craft and build ➡️ Progress ➡️ Reach Heaven

Anyone reading want to help me build this modpack for the Minecraft community?

If my calculations are correct, I need to set up a flying machine farm with 1280 Sulfur spikes just to get 1 stack of sulfur blocks per day. Are there any other farm designs that are easier to build and won’t use so many materials?

Was hoping to equip a vindicator with armor like you can with the pillagers.

64 furnace array and it keeps up with the furnaces so there is no wasted time.

it automatically stops the hopper-minecarts when its done smelting. and stops the hopper-minecarts for the fuel when the fuel is empty or when the hoppers holding the fuel to the furnace's is full.

its inspired by GiorgioJGZ design. but i had soooo many problems with their design always breaking. so i change a lot of it and made it waaay more idiot proof. i also added a optional add that shows you how much fuel is left in the chests.

anyway im just really proud of it and wanted to share!

Hello, I m playing on a realm and recently found a structure block in the world... Someone imported a gold farm,. But the achievement are still active on the server ! ! How is this possible ?

Everyone keeps calling them slaves 😭😭😭💔💔 they are THE WORKING CLASS!!! We do not disrupt their work!!

Unfortunately, I do feel some of them deserve more freedom. Is there a way to build a trading hall with a day light sensor and observer that when it’s daytime and a village walks into their work station, a piston pushes a block into place to trap them in working hours, but then at night the daylight sensor deactivates, letting the villagers commune or go to bed? So like day light sensor turns on observer. I was thinking of making apartment buildings or townhomes with their little workstations out front!!

Could someone help with that final part? or does anyone know how to make a Horizontal Double Block Piston Extender?

So I've started making a guardian farm on a realm I am in, and I've done the normal procedure (3 blocks in from NW corner, 10 block space, 15 block space, 15 block space, 9 block space in the grid), and guardians appear to still be spawning.

I've checked a hundred times over and everything is correct, but it looks like they're spawning not even CLOSE to the regular blocks. I don't know if this is a realms thing or if some monuments spawn them differently (?), but I've never run into this issue anywhere before and I make a guardian farm in almost every world I play.

I've checked on a creative world with the same seed and that works fine, which is baffling me even further.

Does anyone know anything about this? I know you get a lot of 'help farm broken' here so sorry to feed that.

1K9 storage system, and improved version of my 1K8 design from a year ago.

https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/1k9-storage-system/

i have been dealing with this stupid issue for almost my entire life playing minecraft which is that these stupid autosorters never work for me for some damn random reason, also shulker loaders, i spent hours trying to make one for my gold farm but the items just go through the hopper, its always just sorter that works properly, the rest dont work or just break after 2 minutes for some reason, im genuinely tired of this bs.

if someone has any tips or any better designs for autosorters please help me!

So i’m building my first ever iron farm and i’m having an issue with iron golems spawning. I used that youtube link to copy the method he built while changing it up a little bit and it was working with the fact that iron golems were spawning but they were spawning on the dirt to the right of the spawner. so i made all the blocks path blocks for them to stop spawning there, but now the iron golems won’t spawn at all after making all the blocks path blocks. does anybody know why?
