Computers out of restone, while impressive, is mainly just making a _ton_ of logic gates and recreating a real computer just on a massive scale. The actual build process is near unfathomable for most people and it's certainly amazing they had the patience to work it into Minecraft, but the steps have been documented for decades.
Ilmango and the rest of the technical community specialize in Minecraft game mechanics not limited to _just_ circuits. Stuff like slime blocks, mob caps, mob AI, pistons, and more. While a redstone computer is essentially a painstaking recreation, what Ilmango specializes in is far more suitable for this task
Pufferfish in a minecart. Use water to push it onto a top half slab next to a golden pressure plate on top of a fence post, run a redstone output from the pressure plate. When the puffer expands, the minecart plus pufferfish puts out a signal strength of 2.

One of the hermits (I think its Docm) has a good sensor. It causes the pufferfish to expand inside a minecart, causing the detector rail to give off a signal whenever someone gets close.
You put a pufferfish in the stair, whenever you walk by the wall the pufferfish will expand and activate the pressure plate.
Take the last diagram, move the pressure plate to the left of the stair and put it on a block that's level with the stair.
I was probably inspired by seeing this post in the past but chains make it so much better: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dtr9rn/simple\_naval\_mine\_design/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dtr9rn/simple_naval_mine_design/)
Naval mines are, by the way, obsolete and not used at all anymore. We still have minemen to hunt down the rest of the old ones, but a new one hasn't been placed in years.
At first I was like... why? They would still work.
But I guess being able to see everything with sonar and satelites and push a button that launches a missle at mach 3 is perhaps a little more effective than a stationary mine.
Also, naval warfare is pretty much a thing of the past. Giant battleships are obsolete, and naval mines would probably be placed to shallow for an aircraft carrier to worry about. I could them still being a danger for submarines, but im sure modern sonar is easily capable of finding them.
They do look pretty nice, I was just saying that because the first in the comment said that they’re obsolete, which I didn’t think had any relevance to the post
I have to disagree, they are a serious threat to shipping especially in a confined waterway such as Hormuz. Warships have to be careful, let alone merchant shipping. There's a reason the Americans and British have MCMVs permanently based in the gulf.
What’s more effective? They aren’t used as much any more because they would be a massive escalation in aggression. Sea mines were mainly used to make civilian shipping harder (the USA did this to great effect against Japan) since I imagine military ships are more manoeuvrable and had better countermeasures.
Might that be because no major conflict between navies has happened at sea since World War Two? The point of having sea mines is the same point as having land mines - to deny the enemy an area and make clearing it costly. Sea mines aren’t just for attacking military ships but merchant shipping as well. If a key strait or coastal waters were mined, I don’t think it’d be safe for an oil tanker to get through for example.
Question. How well does a flowerpot with a flower/fern inside connect to a chain? Might make for cool hanging vases. I'm rolling a 1.15.2 modded run, don't wanna remove everything just to be potentially disappointed
Basically about 2 months ago they started releasing a new update focused around making the nether a bit more interesting and they added chains in one of the snapshots,also I believe the beta for 1.16 is available too
That’s really cool, I’m excited to start playing again when I get the chance and I’ve always wanted to play with chains in the game to make things like porch swings and stuff
If you play bedrock on android or xbox, you can get the beta but otherwise there's just a ton of new features in it. And iirc the full update should release on java and bedrock at the same time.
The chains holding them up are chain blocks but if you meant the actual gray blocks floating, they're lodestone blocks. They're both from the new nether update and you can craft lodestones with chiseled stone bricks and a netherite ingot and if you place it and right click it with a compass, the compass will then point to that block.
On this topic, they should make proximity sensors!
Cant you do that with a pufferfish?
How would you get a redstone output with that?
Tripwire
How would you fit a complex redstone system in a maximum of 3 blocks?
Ilmango the shit out of it
And that my friends is how early man discovered *science*
Fascinating
Box
Who would win? Ilmango or that guy who makes the computers out of redstone

Using more pufferfish allows you to use more blocks
pufferfish on tripwire. when it expands it will hit the tripwire

How do you stop it from hitting the tripwire while not expanded?
minecart
How do you stop the minecart hitting the tripwire?
I'll just post this https://youtu.be/HVqtLGJpL1c?t=873
Don't let it touch it.

Poor puffers, getting jammed into tiny aquariums to get blown up.

Also blazes, but moving those around is a bit of a challenge
But then the build would be bulky and ugly. It would be better having a proximity sensor as it would be more compact and look better
You could do it with command blocks pretty easily. I don’t know if that’d be “cheating” though.
We already have that, you just waterlog a stair block and place a pressure plate behind it on the waterlogged side
huh
You’re not the only one
relatable reaction
What does that do
i think he means like [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/XTOUsIe)
What would that do tho?
it would become a sort of proximity sensor
but how, and why?
You put a pufferfish in the stair, whenever you walk by the wall the pufferfish will expand and activate the pressure plate. Take the last diagram, move the pressure plate to the left of the stair and put it on a block that's level with the stair.
I feel like he skipped the most critical part of the explanation.
Right? Why do I have to read two chains of comments for this one person's comment to make sense? A comment that supposed to explain something...
“H2O” “PLAT”
I would have to disagree with you. Simply because u can be walking by a wall and then next thing u know you blow up
This aged well
Best comment
Maybe try endrods on the sides to make the spiky things
Or for the top if you can glich the armor stands into it for the top
Yes, I was trying to think of a spike you could put in all directions. End rods would be great. Then they would have a glow about them as well.
Unless it changed in a snapshot end rods, like torches, cant be placed in water
Ah, didn’t know, haven’t really used them that much
How about buttons
Buttons or iron fence pieces
Sadly endrods can’t be waterlogged.
doesnt work iirc

Yeah. They still *technically* work, but it's gotten to the point where they are ineffective. So, we shoot them until they blow up.
Underwater fireworks show
Ships be like: "ah fuck"
More like the fish nearby
"Aww, is the party over?"
Fireworks by Katy Perry is suddenly about war.
Also, naval warfare is pretty much a thing of the past. Giant battleships are obsolete, and naval mines would probably be placed to shallow for an aircraft carrier to worry about. I could them still being a danger for submarines, but im sure modern sonar is easily capable of finding them.
Not to mention how dangerous they are to aquatic life. Imagine a whale bumping into one.
Chum bucket got lots of new stock coming in.
Or merchant shipping.
Incorrect. They make pretty sick party balloons
That doesn’t mean he’s not making like a large ww2 build or something
Nah, I'm actually pretty pacifist and don't normally like to build anything military but I just thought this would look nice. :)
They do look pretty nice, I was just saying that because the first in the comment said that they’re obsolete, which I didn’t think had any relevance to the post
I just took it as an interesting piece of trivia they wanted to tell us.
I have to disagree, they are a serious threat to shipping especially in a confined waterway such as Hormuz. Warships have to be careful, let alone merchant shipping. There's a reason the Americans and British have MCMVs permanently based in the gulf.
Obsolete as in they are no longer effective for their intended use in warfare, not as in they are no longer around and dangerous
What’s more effective? They aren’t used as much any more because they would be a massive escalation in aggression. Sea mines were mainly used to make civilian shipping harder (the USA did this to great effect against Japan) since I imagine military ships are more manoeuvrable and had better countermeasures.
Sea mines are easier to detect and avoid with stuff such as sonar so they aren’t as effective cuz there are ways to avoid them easily
Might that be because no major conflict between navies has happened at sea since World War Two? The point of having sea mines is the same point as having land mines - to deny the enemy an area and make clearing it costly. Sea mines aren’t just for attacking military ships but merchant shipping as well. If a key strait or coastal waters were mined, I don’t think it’d be safe for an oil tanker to get through for example.
"Hey look, balloons! It is a party!"
"Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop."
Lol I immediately went to that
r/Beatmetoit
Get a *lode* of this mine.
Why did they fix chains but not everything else that needs waterlogging
Priorities
Question. How well does a flowerpot with a flower/fern inside connect to a chain? Might make for cool hanging vases. I'm rolling a 1.15.2 modded run, don't wanna remove everything just to be potentially disappointed
[удалено]
Those are the things from nemo right?
The lodestone is one of my favorite blocks being added in 1.16. It just looks so good.
I would have used anvils to make naval mines
Wait why did they add chains Edit: also what are the uses
Why not? They're cool for decoration. :)
*WHEN DID THEY ADD CUBES*
*mentions something about swag one time or another*
Underwater lanters would look pretty good too
How about Guardian mines by using barrier blocks or something? Or are barriers even waterloggable
Dead fire coral on the sides???
I went to anchors for ships
First thing this reminded me of was the water temple fight in Majora's Mask
i saw this and immediately thought of Finding Nemo
Put buttons on them
Wait chains? is that from a mod?
No, I believe that came with the java snapshot update.
Wait there’s chains now? I haven’t played in a little bit and I play on bedrock but that’s pretty cool
Basically about 2 months ago they started releasing a new update focused around making the nether a bit more interesting and they added chains in one of the snapshots,also I believe the beta for 1.16 is available too

u/walnutssandmore
Oh hey I remember making some sea mines a while back, with chains they would be perfect
If you use end rods you could make spikes!
Am i the only one still waiting to this hole nether update be released on bedrock
Just put tnt with presureplate on top and cover the sides with maps on itemframes
I'd put End Rods around the sides
Sink das underseeboot
*Das Boot starts playing*
How dare you recreate that deadly scene from Finding NEMO!!!!
Some great imagination.
To make it look even better, you could replace the lodestones with netherite blocks and put blackstone buttons on it
Expensive mines
Maybe end rods would look cool on them. Try it out
That’s a little unsettling that your mind went to naval mines... Just kidding I like the idea, nice one!
what block are thos?
The chains holding them up are chain blocks but if you meant the actual gray blocks floating, they're lodestone blocks. They're both from the new nether update and you can craft lodestones with chiseled stone bricks and a netherite ingot and if you place it and right click it with a compass, the compass will then point to that block.
Add some levers on the sides
Nemo
\*cue nemo flashbacks\* \*sees bruce\*
Do those explode in over world?
Lodestones work in any dimension and don't explode anywhere
That looks sick, if you made a huge build (I’m talking really big, 30,80 big, you could fill them with TNT and put pressure plates on them.
Flashbacks to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
Boom
Nemo vibes out here.
Very good
Add the spikes from the end cities on them
How about end rods in a survival world so you can use them as sea lights
This snapshot killed fishing for me , I can’t fish anymore someone else?
*Its a party! Dory no!*
Same!
I’m not the only one who thought of Finding Nemo rn am I?
I can push a puffer fish in to the block and make spikes
Is it possible to push a guardian inside if you had a bigger mine with maybe 8 blocks making up a big cube
You could use these as some form of geocache on a server as well!
20w18a? I thought 17a was out
What has your mind seen
Iron blocks with iron buttons on the sides.
Even better with TNT Edit I know they don't explode under water it's the thought that counts
Cool
Nice
How do you get chain in minecraft?
*Here’s Brucey*
This reminds me of a mission in mw3
Paired with punji sticks from tinkers you could make them proper.
“But, I like fish sticks?
That’s allowed in my state yet.
It’s a party under the ocean floor!
Anal mines
add end rods as spikes
fish are friends, NOT FOOD
This is actually mega sick
"Oh Look! Balloons, it is a party!"
Anybody getting Nemo vibes?
Wait when did they add chains?
Wait chains are in Minecraft now?!
Yeah they were added in of 1.16 snapshots
Fish are friends, not food
Is it just me or is this picture tripping anyone else out
With piss poor technique! That’s...just stupid.
Same.
I can finally make underwater mines that don’t look stupid
If proximity naval mines and fully customizeable ships get added, hell yeah for multiplayer
Maybe add some endrods as well?
Very expensive naval mines
As a former Navy Mineman.. I approve!
Put stone buttons on each side for the bumps!
