00:08

launcher now has a homepage and then you

00:10

00:13

legends this is all celebrating 15 years

00:15

of Minecraft we got a lot of stuff that

00:16

you're going to get the new snapshot

00:18

patch notes are all over here which is

00:20

very organized and you'll notice that

00:22

the new snapshot that was released

00:24

yesterday 24 w2a has pistons in it now

00:27

you might be thinking oh no my's going

00:29

to ch change all of the mechanics and

00:31

break all the Farms all the machines

00:33

that I've made no they haven't they've

00:35

done something quite hilarious

00:37

scientific this is the latest snapshot I

00:39

didn't stream yesterday cuz I was very

00:41

busy if you want to obtain the new

00:42

twitch Cape you can wait for me when

00:44

I'll stream next week or you can look up

00:45

some other participating Minecraft

00:47

streamer who's going to be able to give

00:48

that to you of course you can subscribe

00:50

here as I outline all the new and

00:52

beautiful decisions that myang is making

00:54

for us so here's my test world I spent a

00:57

little time creating a couple of

00:58

Contraptions for you so here here is a

01:00

piston door that I made and this is a

01:02

player elevator using a slime machine

01:03

that is reversible so here is a 3X3

01:06

piston door using Pistons only no

01:09

observers cuz I wanted to maximize the

01:11

amount of Pistons that I was going to

01:12

use to absolutely accentuate the change

01:16

let me activate my resource pack that

01:19

brings back the old sound myang in this

01:23

snapshot have decided to change the

01:25

sound of Pistons you can make up your

01:27

mind how you feel about it I know the

01:28

Redstone Community is absolutely livered

01:31

out of their minds over this change

01:33

going to activate the lever going to

01:34

open the

01:35

door there we go going to close the door

01:39

very rudimentary mechanic so we've got

01:41

the lever that powers the three Pistons

01:42

over there three p over there that push

01:44

the blocks back and then down here we

01:46

just have a piston that brings down two

01:47

iron blocks and then this one brings up

01:50

the last iron block and then over here

01:52

we have a player elevator what I really

01:54

like about this design is it actually

01:55

creates a little hole for the play to

01:57

stand in while they elevate so here we

02:02

go I have this little cubicle that

02:04

pushes up because of the slime blocks

02:06

behind me and then this button right

02:08

here brings me back down the sound

02:11

Pistons make really highlight the

02:12

mechanical elements of the machines they

02:14

are producing all those that they form a

02:16

part of so here we have a simple clock

02:19

and I'm going to put a piston right next

02:21

to it the downside of Pistons is that

02:23

they are sometimes obnoxiously loud so

02:26

if you're walking away from them they do

02:29

soften inv volume but as you approach

02:31

them they can get a little bit annoying

02:33

especially if you have something like

02:34

this running through a clock which is

02:36

why moang decided in their latest

02:39

snapshot to change the sound possibly

02:42

forever meaning we will no longer hear

02:45

the Glorious sounds of Pistons opening

02:47

and closing doors this is what they've

02:49

done here we

02:53

go just going to let that sink in for a

02:55

moment

03:05

let me stand in here as

03:10

well it's brilliant is people have

03:14

likened it to Lego and something else

03:17

quite suspicious which I will not talk

03:18

about here because I don't want to get

03:20

banned of of this wondrous platform

03:22

Please Subscribe and let me just play

03:24

what it sounds like when I activate this

03:26

again

03:30

now if you listen very carefully the

03:31

Piston sound is still there but they've

03:34

added some random clicking from another

03:36

source which changes everything about it

03:38

it sounds actually you know what it

03:40

sounds like a

03:51

trapdoor so my question to you is this

03:53

does it sound like a actual Pistons or B

03:57

fish or C leave a comment

04:01

hey I'm a hey I'm a piston hey I'm a p

04:03

he I'm a piston actually this is better
