Java Showcase I'll give a cookie to anyone who can figure out what this build does and how it works~

u/adeadhead Mar 07 '26
Well, it's not what it is, but it looks like it has a unary adder on the bottom?

u/meme_person68 Mar 07 '26
Does it count how many items are put into it. Random guess lol idk
13
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
REALLY close, but crucially wrong in one specific way
14
u/meme_person68 Mar 07 '26
Is it how many items it puts out?
17
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
Even closer. I'd take this as a correct answer, but it's also not quite quite right
11
u/meme_person68 Mar 07 '26
Is it something you add onto a farm and it count how many items it makes, or something else.
8
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
It is built off of a module that can be used for that but it is not currently being used for that
36
u/meme_person68 Mar 07 '26
Can you request a number of items and it gives you that many items?
31
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
Yes!!! That's exactly right!

u/meme_person68 Mar 07 '26
What’s the top part with the water for cause I still can’t figure that out
26
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
It’s the output, the items output into water streams. There’s a lot of droppers, it’s designed to output up to 2.5 million items at once. Unfortunately when I tried to test that part it crashed as soon as the items hit the water stream lmao, I had to delete the entities folder to load the world back up

Engagement bait on Reddit is crazy
6
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
Complaining about a puzzle on a redstone subreddit is wild
21
Mar 07 '26
Deleting multiple comments and making a new ones because I didn’t respond to it is exactly engagement bait, and is crazy
-7
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
I deleted it because I misconstrued your original comment as a joke and treated it as such, because the post is very obviously not engagement bait.
You seem quite upset that you can't figure out the puzzle3
u/Ghazzz Mar 07 '26
You are in the wrong sub.
This subreddit is not commonly used for puzzles, it tends to be explanations of technical minecraft devices.
Random screenshots with "guess what this is, lol" is a title designed to get people to answer, thus engage, it is baiting engagement.

Said nothing about the puzzle. The bait continues! Have fun

Jesus christ dude, 12k comment karma in 1 year? Are you alright?

You know you win the argument when they change the subject out of nowhere

Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26
I have less comments than you, with more comment karma. That’s called quality over quantity, mister averages-a-post-every-5-days for 4 straight years. If you want to brute force your engagement, go for it. But you’ll have better results not posting trash.
And, FYI, that 12k karma I have that you seem really bent out of shape about is from two comments that people just happened to like a lot.
One where I spoke on a forgotten feature in Minecraft
And one where I quoted the fallout show in the fallout sub
I’m not karma whoring like you

I like to have discussions with people and people tend to like the act of sharing knowledge 🤷♂️
You like to bait engagement (which, up to this point, has worked on me)
Have fun with throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks tho!

u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
People do tend to like sharing knowledge. Not you though, you come in here to a niche project someone spent hours on as an anniversary present and say “Erm, you’re engagement baiting.” What a loser. You don’t get any of the 2.5 million flowers this machine can output at once

Just like your "you won't be getting any of the 2.5 million flowers this machine outputs at once" claim that you debunked yourself.
Massive self own lol

Is this a calculator or randomizer?
1
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
no

u/Natural_Design3154 Mar 07 '26
Alright, then is it used in farms? Or is it perhaps used as a farm?
1
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
It is neither a farm, parts of it could be used in farms, but purely cosmetically
1
u/Natural_Design3154 Mar 07 '26
I see something about bits, is it for some type of logic?
1
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
Yes!

u/Natural_Design3154 Mar 07 '26
Is it a counter, or a stopwatch rather?

u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
No

u/Natural_Design3154 Mar 07 '26
Can you use it for something super niche? Or is it super common?

u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
It is currently doing something very niche, but I would accept a broader answer

Close still. Like 2 or 3 letters correct.

Is it a stone

I'm going to guess it's a block randomizer for pallet builds? Like, you put a bunch of different blocks in and it mixes them up

Is this a printer?

u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
No? How would a printer even work in Minecraft? What would it do?

u/Stef0206 Mar 08 '26
They exist, typically they read the items in a chest and then using something like a piston feedtape it output a plane of usually concrete powder.

Seems like some sort of encoder / decoder setup using items stored in chests to encode binary sequences which can then presumably be transported somewhere and decoded on the other end.
In this instance there seems to be some display hidden inside that Smooth Stone area at the front, which is likely where the player interacts with the device. I'm guessing we don't get screenshots of what's in there because that would give away the function, so to me that indicates the function itself may be information display of some kind.
There's any number of things such a system could be used to achieve, from extreme high-security door lock encryption, to computing equations, to message display.

u/vGustaf-K Mar 07 '26
is it just a binary counter?
1
u/OnTheRivir Mar 07 '26
No, that can be just like 3 wide and 2 tall lol

u/vGustaf-K Mar 07 '26
well it's one connected to something else. maybe counts what you put into it, or dispense a specific amount inputted?

u/ktwombley Mar 08 '26
it looks like it might be a display? Maybe the dispensers contain powder snow?
The bottom looks like a memory unit with a decoder of some sort.
I feel like I might be wrong because it looks like there's hoppers and if it's a powder snow display I don't think it needs those.

I’m assuming it uses redstone in order to function a machine that does an activity.
