Great video, highlighting a problem I have been shielded from for many years because of my size. Coming up with an idea, then building that idea are the two most challenging parts of creating redstone content. These people (there's plenty more as well) bypass both these painstaking parts of the process. It's almost impossible to compete with TH-cam channels that do this, as they can put out 5-6 seemingly original pieces of content per week that their unknowing fans eat up. As I say, I am privileged that I don't face this problem often, with only the boldest stealing my work, but my heart always goes out to the small/mid size TH-camrs who are getting their content taken left and right. I may end up making a video on this topic myself.
The shulkercraft one wasn't that bad, they gave credit to one of the creators, and it seemed like an honest mistake that they didn't realize 2 people made it. They also ended up giving credit after they were told. Don't think that they should be called "THIEVES" for that.
also seems like nowadays he credits people properly, at least in his last 2 farms which i looked at. it seems like he just hasn't thought about giving credit before, and he learned, so i think it is fine.
Thats the problem with “its ok if u give credit” because i can copy someone else work and just say “its from _____” and i just made content from another person.
Loved to see this! Having my designs stolen and used in literally hundreds of videos with varying degree of credit, from absolutely non to a mention in the description, or my personal favourite: "Based on a design by ..." while not even 1 block is changed, I certainly feel your pain. Unfortunately not many will see this - but it's still important!
yea, ppl r using other ppls work to make money, and bc u can’t copyright mc builds, anyone can use it without needing to give credit and there’s nothing you can do legally (like copyright claiming).
@@Jwang0509 You can if its a video... if somebody decides to steal your video on your redstone build and your video is copyrighted then you can copyright claim them BUT! BUT if there is like different edits or etc then you cant
I absolutely adore the fact that the actual redstone engineers are so supportive and wholesome with each other! Seeing Mumbo complimenting Purple’s work, actively encouraging his audience to check out his channel and even going as far as to say he might not have been able to do it himself just warmed my heart and made me feel like I was floating on a cloud :), it’s no surprise that they all unite when these asshole thieves come in!
This is one of my biggest fears as a small redstoner. I don’t want my stuff being re uploaded or remade by other people on TH-cam, Reddit, etc. Thank you for bringing some new awareness to this
I remember how I used to get inspired by amazing creators like you and Mumbo to make countless redstone doors that spring up in my mind. I spent about 7 hours as a kid making an exit and entry floor piston door, and about 10 hours as a teenager making a circular floor vault door. Both of them were extremely fun to make, but that barely scratches the surface of the countless hours redstone engineers put into their builds. I feel betrayed that such high sub content creators can just feel entitled to pluck whatever they want from a small youtube channel and get away with it. Good on you Purpledragonnuke!
As a person who barely knows how Redstone works, it feels demoralising knowing that the tutorial of a contraption that has helped me was actually stolen from someone else. And with the massive amount of channels and videos, it is difficult to see who posted what first, and who deserves the real credit. Thank you for exposing some of these people, hopefully you and the rest of content creators will receive their proper credit in the future.
If you know a channel you can click on don't recommend and TH-cam will not show you any of their videos. Each Time I find a AI channel or A content thief I just click Don't recommend and I never see their stuff again. Doesn't help a lot but at least you are not giving thief's more clicks
ilmango has mentioned people like Shulkercraft stealing designs and such. It’s one of the reasons we don’t get tutorials on some of those really complex builds.
that's true. After seeing my creations stolen by shulker craft and him making tutorials on contraptions I already made a tutorial for directly stealing my views I completely lost motivation to make tutorials on my creations anymore. I'm also really hesitant to give out world downloads at this point. People like shulker craft and their greed really poison this community. I can't compete with channels that have no qualms stealing others work and using aggresive click bait.
@@ilmango speak your mind man, it's understandable thou, I'm gonna start putting my water mark on videos more, even I'm a very very small channel and I am get back into Minecraft bedrock to record But it's understandable, some of us see these videos don't know it's from another youtuber
@@ilmango pretty much most of the thefts of certain builds causes one person to loose motivation, sadly this was the fate of the well known and the literal mumbo of bedrock known as the bow tie man who has lost motivation, stealing being one of them as someone bigger (derpy jhomes) came by and as I could say, milked his channel. Not only that but plenty of people did the exact same thing being the reason yes, greed. Basically stealing all those passion and hard work, especially for the small to mid channels as they are the easiest prey, most likely a virus that causes the extinction of real redstoners I especially feel bad for redstoners that have made an unimaginable and revolutionary redstone just to be stolen for popularity. I hope that people could spread this awareness to reduce the mass theft of minecraft creations.
@@ilmango I’ve been subscribed to you for a while. I totally respect what you do and take inspiration from you. Seeing accounts that take from all the work you do is what makes me so vocal. Minecraft is literally a whole different game because of people like yourself. Nothing you do deserves to be discredited through such actions like plagiarism. Please consider making tutorials for Patreon subscribers. I would pay if that’s what it takes to see some of your designs and especially see more of your thought-process while creating these machines.
Good video, I applaud your effort to shine light on this topic. I don't recall being very bothered by it myself during the prime years of my own channel, but the examples you gave here were informative and it is very sad to see would-be creators piggy backing off the hard work of other, typically much smaller channels.
It's really nice seeing these people getting called out more and more recently, thanks for making this video Also, you have a really nice voice. What mic do you use?
@@Purplers wow does it work with a voice changer I’ve been having trouble trying to fill TH-cam videos I make bad videos I know but I want to get better later when I get better equipment so I wan to see what mic would help if my voice still sucks by the time I can do it
Its so good seeing someone FINALLY taking a stand against these "Redstone Thieves" I my self wanted to start uploading my own original Redstone builds but I was scared they would get stolen and I would have no credit for it but i think for now i will upload a different Type of MC video
Something pretty funny actually happened to me on one of Steveee's videos a very long time ago. I remember it was something like "how to draw in Minecraft" or something, using the power of the good ol' Command Blocks. It was a very very simple design, but Steveee pretty much "brute-forced" through the whole thing without any explanations on the purpose and functions of each Command (I can see how suspicious this can be now that I think about it). Seeing this, I was worried that potential beginners might not be able to understand what exactly is happening in this design and forced to copy and paste the whole thing without learning anything. I believe that it would be more beneficial and fun for these beginners to actually understand the design. Therefore, I left a comment providing a full explanation of how everything works in this design and what purpose does each Command serves just so people can enjoy what's shown in the video themselves as well and possibly create their own designs using what they have learned from this. Well guess what. My comment was deleted not long after it was written. Like, I am not even trying to call him out because I am someone who you would call "lives under a rock" and I have no idea if he stole this design from elsewhere or not. At that time I was just confused. Confused about why he would delete such a comment that can benefit the viewers more, making this video of his more valuable than before. This confusion of course led to my suspicion that something fishy might be going on here. But I decided to just let it go since I got nothing against him. I forgot all about it not long after. Now? It's all coming together now. It was indeed a stolen design, and he was afraid of being called out by someone who actually understands the design (even though I have no idea that he stole this design from elsewhere lol).
thanks for making this. As door makers it's very common for our own community to ignore this because "they just want attention" and "there's nothing we can do about it", and trying to retaliate is just regarded as brigading this is why i personally decided to not provide wd's/tutorials for doors i build anymore, it's really frustrating when people can pass off your weeks of work as their own. So It's cool to see, despite this, you still provide wd's and tutorials
I'm grateful for this video! I've always appreciated your influence and involvement in the redstone community, and wanted to say thanks for being such a huge inspiration for me and many others! Now more related to the video: 6:58, this one is actually 0.3 seconds opening xd Also god bless for calling out Gamers React lmao, you're doing the gods work here!
The fact that he has been making redstone stuff on TH-cam for YEARS and only has 13.6K subscribers, even getting STOLEN from bigger TH-camrs. I hope you get the support you deserve!
To be fair to Shulkercraft, Lauri did seem genuinely apologetic for the mistake and wanted to learn from the experience to do better moving forward. Also from context given in this video, it seems like it was an honest mistake to not credit you, rather than malicious stealing
The Shulkercraft apologists like yourself are hilarious. "Yeah they're still stealing other people's work, but they seem really sorry! Also they're giving credit!" It doesn't matter. If the original design creator say "Don't steal my work and re-upload your own tutorial" then don't do it. There have also been instances where Shulkercraft has took someone else's build, uploaded their own "tutorial" for it, and ended up actually nerfing the build they stole because they didn't understand every aspect of the build.
@@RossLemon Shulkercraft always ask for permission with these things The only issue is that a couple of times they asked the wrong person and or miscredited someone which are both honest mistakes
Gotta say shulkercraft is probably the only “thief” I respect in the video, I doubt they realised the second person made it and they added them to the description when they were asked too
Yeah, I like how nice it is to follow their guides, that’s why I’ve used theirs a lot, for a lot of the original builds I’ve seen there arnt as many straight tutorials, showing you, and providing a block list for it
Redstone and building are not given much appreciation and that just not fair. A redstoner and builder, both should have their place in Minecraft community. The amount of time they put to put to figure out stuffs is underrated, i want people to appreciate these things as much as speed running and surviving. Just my opinion though
i feel like speedruns, pvp, minigames, and survival are more popular because that's the more action-packed playstyles a minecraft player can fit into, unlike redstone, building, scripting, etc which are less action-packed and thus less people watch them
I agree, a lot of player doesn't really appreciate the redstoners and builders I know a lot of people find building and doing redstone is really boring, but give some appreciation to those who spend so much effort on those
1. steveee : actually stealing 2. Shulkercraft : they put credits, and they make the tutorial simpler also more understandable to watch, but its still bad that they are not putting the credits correctly, but i'll still watch them cuz they are the best Minecraft tutorial channel *FOR ME* 3. Gamers React : idk?
@@randomhardcoreplayer2096 they've also shown on multiple occasions that they have very little to no understanding of the things they're making tutorials of
Great video! And to think this only scratches the surface of a much larger problem on TH-cam... There's also not much creators can do about it at the moment, as "copyrighting" redstone contraptions isn't really a thing, and in a lot of the videos redstone TH-camrs post it's either explained how to build, or there's a world download made available. Oh, and quick edit: I've probably had my fair share of stuff stolen, but never on as large a scale as is the norm now. Seeing creators like Shulkercraft and Steveee racking up _millions_ of views and subscribers off the backs of hard-working creators breaks my heart.
You can’t copyright something you made in a game because the game isn’t yours, and everything you’ve made in the game isn’t yours. Because of this you have no legal right and so youtube won’t give a shit. The only one who can copyright anything is Mojang as it is their game, and anything made in the game is there’s.
I realized how important it is to credit someone. This video make me to change my actions and to credit someone. Thank you for making this video. I am glad!
I love this! If more TH-cam redstoners call out thieves, maybe they'd be properly shamed for doing it. but idk, as like 1 min of fame still equates to views and channel promoting algorithms. YT needs to have a better theft of content protection like they do for music.
I was aware of some of the redstone design thefts but never knew it went this deep. As someone trying redstone as a novice it is a fun concept to make something you design or taking inspiration work for a build - something I do hope to share here one day, so it's good to be aware to be vigilant when crediting creators. It never takes long to credit people or at least if you don't know who just mentioned the original creator of the design is better than nothing. Thank you Purpledragonnuke for making us aware of the ongoing problem and helping creators be aware to be vigilant on the ongoing issue.
Really interesting video Purple! Mumbo is a good dude, always credits. Hope this video get's the exposure it deserves. Also it's pretty ironic how Shulkercraft has stolen content that Steveee went an stole lol
Honestly this was my biggest fear back when I used to redstone frequently on like TMA and Storage Tech. I told myself to learn to make TH-cam videos back in late 2020 but that aged too well.
Great video. and a good job bringing a concerningly common problem to light. I've seen so many creators that I watch have something stolen from them. Its something that really wrong, and really needs to stop.
I remember awhile back ilmango mentioned how upset he was after spending hours on builds/videos, that someone else would come along and just copy it without credit and get even more views. It really bothered me. It's literally plagiarism. And with youtube taking away the dislikes, I feel like we're further from preventing it.
So glad you pointed this out. I hope those that do this get the karma they deserve. I know there is one that I will b unsubbing to. Glad I found u guys on Twitter. You and the guys you do redstone with are truly amazing!
It's ridiculous how TH-cam let these thieves get away with stealing contents from people like Mumbo Jumbo and 95% of the time get away with it but removes the dislike because "to stop harassing small TH-camrs" BS.
I do completely original game pixel art, sometimes with reference that I give credit to. But some guy came in, stole my art and claimed it his own, copy pasting my art in order to bypass the credit system. I was damn annoyed and added a copyright to my sprite sheets.
This kind of video needs to be done more often. That people can sleep at night knowing they are making money from stealing other people's work is mind boggling.
I do redstone all the time, one was this one utilising village farmers to break crops and chuck it into a hopper. After some research i saw it had been done before, but when people either, A) wrongly accuse you of stealing, or B) use things without credit, it makes me wanna chuck em in a mob grinder. Great video that adresses a peoblem wider than just redstone. Keep it up!
I find it funny how the editing style of BBlocks’ videos is IDENTICAL to an og youtube content creator called MagmaMusen. Honestly, the little titles at the top of the screen are uncannily similar.
Another thing to note is that even though Shulkercraft credits the designers, they don't ask for permission. Ilmango designed a cobblestone farm and made a video about it with a tutorial in it. Shulkercraft took the design and made their own video without asking and got more views than ilmango. Another thing is that they clickbait nether tree drops per hour by including the non-stem blocks. But the worst clickbait they did was "how to get infinite diamonds". The video was just them saying you can buy diamond gear from villagers.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PURPLERS. the bedrock TH-cam community is so bad at this point I simply walked away from it forever. there wasn't any choice in the end. as a small channel you won't see any growth over anything from the works of stolen java content that simply doesn't work, its just a complete mess compared to java that was built on TH-cam as much as TH-cam was built on Minecraft. bedrock had a lot of potential and also flaws but it has died by the hand of those who milked it for everything and drove away their own audience. it was hard walking back to java after trying to work to help bedrock in so many way but there's only one road left.
Every Redstoner getting their designs ripped off: Hey, what the heck. ::Rip-off artists steal from Mumbo:: Every Redstoner: You've tread on sacred ground and have clearly chosen death.
Just so you know, Megamanny is steveees other account. He uploads basically the same thing on both channels. He does this because both channels get millions of views so hey, why not multiply?
This is why I mostly choose to follow tutorials from TH-camrs that do not live on short form content and are TH-camrs I trust and I've watched for a while. I very rarely follow tutorials from TH-camrs I have never heard of, unless it's the only video that has what I'm looking for.
This is insane to see. That being said, I found your channel from Doc but have never heard of any of these thieves (aside from shulkercraft which is a shame cause I love those guys)
That was a simple mistake, and very nitpicky on this channels part. Normally they always credit the creators, and this one since there was multiple, one who was barely mentioned from the channel they got it from, it was very easy for it to slip through. But then they fixed their honest mistake so in my opinion it really isn't worth mentioning.
I feel kind of vindicated that when I take a redstone creation and replicate it in one of my worlds, there's always a sign near the most accessible redstone components (or outright in front of the demo build in my SMP lag tester world) that actually says whose tutorial I followed, if I modified it (I note down what I had to tweak, usually it's adding delays or space restrictions), and if hybridized I have both designs' creators on the sign(s) (and any official name the systems' creators gave them). That way at worst, all I have to do to remember where it's from is to open my old test world or go into the "repair hatch" and find the note I left myself, because I don't always remember who first posted a design. (and sometimes I have a "made b X and popularized by Y" sign, when someone credited another's design and made a tutorial on it from schematics I can't understand)
Underrated very underrated channel I've ever seen in my life . More underrated than Ryan Trahan. Like you deserved more than 10M subs. Thank god this was recommend to me . Those fools will pay!
Thank you for talking about this problem! The thieves are getting so much credit for free. I spend a lot of time designing my circuits and it feels really unfair.
Such a shame to see this problem is still in the TH-cam community. As a content creator myself I can say it feels degrading when you spend sometimes more than a day brainstorming videos ideas, executing recording and editing, just to see someone spend 3 seconds of their time taking it and adding some cool sound effect or music over what you made and calling it something "new."
This really opened up my eyes to the fact that I need to credit people. I use so many farms in my videos, and I never realized that I should give credit for some reason. Granted, I only get like 10 views, but the fact still stands.
07:33 dude i literally was about to build this concrete generator using this video but got distracted and watched yours...aint going to use this vid now...
When I read the title I thought its about people stealing literally Redstonedust, and I was like wtf, since when is is Redstonedust so scarce that people steal it, lol.
I hate this situation so much, and I really hope a solution will emerge soon. I hate the fact that more and more redstoners stop sharing their builds because of the fear to be stolen. It definitely has a huge impact on the stolen people. Take Ilmango, who makes a living out of his TH-cam channel, and who chose to drastically reduce his audience by reducing the amount of content he chooses to share... People don't know enough the impact that stealing has on small content creators...
I think what happens often is these smaller redstoners who make the original builds don't always have the best editing to make building these contraptions clear. Of course this doesn't apply to everything but typically these larger channels make instructions in higher quality. Part of the reason I like shulkercraft so much is that they make most of their guides on making farms easier to follow than most other creators.
0:26 this is a problem that I can really agree with. Ofc my art is so bad that no one wants to steal it, but my friend is an artist and really knows this feeling.
Videos like this are so satisfying. There are more of these scumbags that needs to be called out. In the Shulkercraft part, you could've mentioned about them stealing Ilmango's stuff and Vktec's mob switch, video of which they didn't remove after Vktec asked them to. Great video regardless. These are the videos that actually make people aware of the often miscredited, underrated side of Minecraft: the tech community 😊👍
They made many farm tutorials without asking the farm designer. For example a wither skull farm by ianxo4. Ian had already made a tutorial on the farm and they decided to just steal the farm design and get views.
Ianxofour's Minecraft Elegance series has been ripped off so many times. His farms are insane. Not necessarily high yield or anything but the output/building effort ratio is ridiculously high. I love his designs, but I've seen several of them uploaded by random people with no credit at all (or the bare minimum, just a link or name drop in the description with no mention in title or video itself).
I adapted a shulker unloader that didn't allow for empty shulkers to go through the system. Basically added 2x circuits but it was my first truly successful attempt at redstone problem solving. I still use the design to this day. It's really good if you're a dump and run kinda player.
Skippy 6 gaming has a 3x3 piston door uploaded for bedrock. So glad i watched the end of the video before attempting to build it. The opening sequence doesnt work, he then replaces the missing block onto the piston, closes the door, which does work and declares it all done 😂
5:21 This person wasn’t playing on the pocket edition (bedrock edition) he was playing on the legacy console edition. Specifically the PS4 legacy console edition you can clearly see the spacing between the buttons and hot bar is as well as the gamma The legacy console edition is a mix of Java and bedrock. But mostly Java. > Java with Gameplay and mechanics > Bedrock with exclusives like potions in couldrens and being coded in C++
Yes, but he claimed it worked on every single edition of Minecraft. Pocket edition, switch, bedrock etc. In his video it worked because he was playing on legacy console, but the point still stands.
When I met gamers react I instantly knew he was that type of contect creator that is "lazy", half of his content are videos that are supposed to be uncommon or something and then you see in one of his videos for example how someone found geode on the bottom of the ocean, and I also noticed how his content is made for younger generation like repeatingly using cringe audio so he would have his audience younger so he wouldn't get exposed easily probabbly.
I feel so bad now, because I built this from the copied video thinking it was original a while back. I'll definely use yours instead when the time comes!
wow. I did not know how big and widespread this issue was. I feel terrible for the people who take hours coming up with designs to end up with a mediocre number of views, just to have them stolen by bigger creators.
I understand, how frusturating it is to see other people ripping your content appart for their own gain, but i feel like ShulkerCraft didn't do it maliciously. I watch them regularly, and they promote other people builds, also giving shoutouts. It is an error on their side, and could have been handeled better, but i believe it was not for their own gain.
@@hydrolink5297 sc even refused to apologise in another video here where a bunch of others did and fixed their mistakes... but eventually he did it... I think. I wached the video like 2months ago th-cam.com/video/l1FEhAj0GpE/w-d-xo.html

Minecraft is literally a whole different game because of people like yourself. Nothing you do deserves to be discredited through such actions like plagiarism.
Please consider making tutorials for Patreon subscribers. I would pay if that’s what it takes to see some of your designs and especially see more of your thought-process while creating these machines.
Damb I feel really bad because I'm new to the community and I watched some of these thinking they made it. Thanks for shining light on this
Good video, I applaud your effort to shine light on this topic. I don't recall being very bothered by it myself during the prime years of my own channel, but the examples you gave here were informative and it is very sad to see would-be creators piggy backing off the hard work of other, typically much smaller channels.
It's really nice seeing these people getting called out more and more recently, thanks for making this video
Also, you have a really nice voice. What mic do you use?
Thank you :> It's a Rode NT1
Hi sqiully
He does have a really nice mic.
Yeah he has a really soothing voice xD
@@Purplers wow does it work with a voice changer I’ve been having trouble trying to fill TH-cam videos I make bad videos I know but I want to get better later when I get better equipment so I wan to see what mic would help if my voice still sucks by the time I can do it
Its so good seeing someone FINALLY taking a stand against these "Redstone Thieves" I my self wanted to start uploading my own original Redstone builds but I was scared they would get stolen and I would have no credit for it but i think for now i will upload a different Type of MC video
Something pretty funny actually happened to me on one of Steveee's videos a very long time ago.
I remember it was something like "how to draw in Minecraft" or something, using the power of the good ol' Command Blocks.
It was a very very simple design, but Steveee pretty much "brute-forced" through the whole thing without any explanations on the purpose and functions of each Command (I can see how suspicious this can be now that I think about it).
Seeing this, I was worried that potential beginners might not be able to understand what exactly is happening in this design and forced to copy and paste the whole thing without learning anything.
I believe that it would be more beneficial and fun for these beginners to actually understand the design.
Therefore, I left a comment providing a full explanation of how everything works in this design and what purpose does each Command serves just so people can enjoy what's shown in the video themselves as well and possibly create their own designs using what they have learned from this.
Well guess what. My comment was deleted not long after it was written.
Like, I am not even trying to call him out because I am someone who you would call "lives under a rock" and I have no idea if he stole this design from elsewhere or not.
At that time I was just confused. Confused about why he would delete such a comment that can benefit the viewers more, making this video of his more valuable than before.
This confusion of course led to my suspicion that something fishy might be going on here. But I decided to just let it go since I got nothing against him. I forgot all about it not long after.
Now? It's all coming together now.
It was indeed a stolen design, and he was afraid of being called out by someone who actually understands the design (even though I have no idea that he stole this design from elsewhere lol).
I enjoyed reading through that, thank you very much
Wtf is this shit
@@justanub4697 are u being sarcastic?

Bro typed movie dialogue for a 2hour movie
thanks for making this. As door makers it's very common for our own community to ignore this because "they just want attention" and "there's nothing we can do about it", and trying to retaliate is just regarded as brigading
this is why i personally decided to not provide wd's/tutorials for doors i build anymore, it's really frustrating when people can pass off your weeks of work as their own. So It's cool to see, despite this, you still provide wd's and tutorials
yep
Steveee ain't a redstone thief. *HE'S THE ENTIRE THIEF OF MINECRAFT ITSELF*
I'm grateful for this video! I've always appreciated your influence and involvement in the redstone community, and wanted to say thanks for being such a huge inspiration for me and many others!
Now more related to the video: 6:58, this one is actually 0.3 seconds opening xd
Also god bless for calling out Gamers React lmao, you're doing the gods work here!
The fact that he has been making redstone stuff on TH-cam for YEARS and only has 13.6K subscribers, even getting STOLEN from bigger TH-camrs. I hope you get the support you deserve!
Yeah
To be fair to Shulkercraft, Lauri did seem genuinely apologetic for the mistake and wanted to learn from the experience to do better moving forward. Also from context given in this video, it seems like it was an honest mistake to not credit you, rather than malicious stealing
And also he try’s to make it easy to make in survival, giving lists of mats and other stuff helpful for survival players he just forgot to give credit
Yeah Shulkercraft always try and credit the creators in their videos
The Shulkercraft apologists like yourself are hilarious. "Yeah they're still stealing other people's work, but they seem really sorry! Also they're giving credit!" It doesn't matter. If the original design creator say "Don't steal my work and re-upload your own tutorial" then don't do it. There have also been instances where Shulkercraft has took someone else's build, uploaded their own "tutorial" for it, and ended up actually nerfing the build they stole because they didn't understand every aspect of the build.
@@RossLemontouch grass
@@RossLemon Shulkercraft always ask for permission with these things
The only issue is that a couple of times they asked the wrong person and or miscredited someone which are both honest mistakes
Gotta say shulkercraft is probably the only “thief” I respect in the video, I doubt they realised the second person made it and they added them to the description when they were asked too
you read my mind
Yeah idk the creator of the video didn't look too much into the actual creators
@@Ner07 Well who cares, what they make up in that category they make up in the entertainment of their videos.
I was gonna say, based on the amount of credit they usually give, that was probably a mistake on their part, not intentional thievery.
Yeah, I like how nice it is to follow their guides, that’s why I’ve used theirs a lot, for a lot of the original builds I’ve seen there arnt as many straight tutorials, showing you, and providing a block list for it
Redstone and building are not given much appreciation and that just not fair. A redstoner and builder, both should have their place in Minecraft community. The amount of time they put to put to figure out stuffs is underrated, i want people to appreciate these things as much as speed running and surviving. Just my opinion though
i feel like speedruns, pvp, minigames, and survival are more popular because that's the more action-packed playstyles a minecraft player can fit into, unlike redstone, building, scripting, etc which are less action-packed and thus less people watch them
I agree, a lot of player doesn't really appreciate the redstoners and builders
I know a lot of people find building and doing redstone is really boring, but give some appreciation to those who spend so much effort on those
@@Melecie exactly
Thank you I didn't know steveee was stealing I unsubbed from them
congrats, you did the right thing!
1. steveee : actually stealing
2. Shulkercraft : they put credits, and they make the tutorial simpler also more understandable to watch, but its still bad that they are not putting the credits correctly, but i'll still watch them cuz they are the best Minecraft tutorial channel *FOR ME*
3. Gamers React : idk?

@@randomhardcoreplayer2096 ohhh
@@randomhardcoreplayer2096 they've also shown on multiple occasions that they have very little to no understanding of the things they're making tutorials of
@JustACommenter they also typically include usernames in the corner of the screen. gamers react is fine
Great video! And to think this only scratches the surface of a much larger problem on TH-cam... There's also not much creators can do about it at the moment, as "copyrighting" redstone contraptions isn't really a thing, and in a lot of the videos redstone TH-camrs post it's either explained how to build, or there's a world download made available.
Oh, and quick edit: I've probably had my fair share of stuff stolen, but never on as large a scale as is the norm now. Seeing creators like Shulkercraft and Steveee racking up _millions_ of views and subscribers off the backs of hard-working creators breaks my heart.
When do u plan on uploading again fenno
hey fenno you still exist!
You can’t copyright something you made in a game because the game isn’t yours, and everything you’ve made in the game isn’t yours. Because of this you have no legal right and so youtube won’t give a shit. The only one who can copyright anything is Mojang as it is their game, and anything made in the game is there’s.
I realized how important it is to credit someone. This video make me to change my actions and to credit someone. Thank you for making this video. I am glad!
I'm here for this series. I detest this content stealing culture that goes on, glad you're calling them out on it!
I love this! If more TH-cam redstoners call out thieves, maybe they'd be properly shamed for doing it. but idk, as like 1 min of fame still equates to views and channel promoting algorithms. YT needs to have a better theft of content protection like they do for music.
6:29 "how many bots did they buy?" got me dead lmao
I was aware of some of the redstone design thefts but never knew it went this deep.
As someone trying redstone as a novice it is a fun concept to make something you design or taking inspiration work for a build - something I do hope to share here one day, so it's good to be aware to be vigilant when crediting creators.
It never takes long to credit people or at least if you don't know who just mentioned the original creator of the design is better than nothing.
Thank you Purpledragonnuke for making us aware of the ongoing problem and helping creators be aware to be vigilant on the ongoing issue.
Really interesting video Purple! Mumbo is a good dude, always credits. Hope this video get's the exposure it deserves. Also it's pretty ironic how Shulkercraft has stolen content that Steveee went an stole lol
Bblocks said that you can use any blocks for the door but you can't use unpushable blocks like obsidian,glazed terracotta etc.
Honestly this was my biggest fear back when I used to redstone frequently on like TMA and Storage Tech.
I told myself to learn to make TH-cam videos back in late 2020 but that aged too well.
Great video. and a good job bringing a concerningly common problem to light. I've seen so many creators that I watch have something stolen from them. Its something that really wrong, and really needs to stop.
0:43 Sheesh those music tracks looking fire.
I remember awhile back ilmango mentioned how upset he was after spending hours on builds/videos, that someone else would come along and just copy it without credit and get even more views. It really bothered me. It's literally plagiarism. And with youtube taking away the dislikes, I feel like we're further from preventing it.
So glad you pointed this out. I hope those that do this get the karma they deserve. I know there is one that I will b unsubbing to. Glad I found u guys on Twitter. You and the guys you do redstone with are truly amazing!
The fact that you mention that 2018 is pretty much exactly between 2012 and 2022 is making me feel very old all of a sudden…
It's ridiculous how TH-cam let these thieves get away with stealing contents from people like Mumbo Jumbo and 95% of the time get away with it but removes the dislike because "to stop harassing small TH-camrs" BS.
Oh No YoU sAiD a MiLdLy RuDe WoRd On A ViDeO nOt MaDe FoR kIdS yOu GeT tErMiNaTeD.

@@TL4546b Sadly, I don't think TH-cam will do anything about it in the future unless we riot them or something :(
I didn't realize how alive the redstone community was nowadays. Makes me want to pivot to making that content cause y'all seem great
Sculk sensor helps make automatic things like doors
What I mean is that the wild update brought a few more opportunities for red stone builds
I do completely original game pixel art, sometimes with reference that I give credit to. But some guy came in, stole my art and claimed it his own, copy pasting my art in order to bypass the credit system. I was damn annoyed and added a copyright to my sprite sheets.
This kind of video needs to be done more often. That people can sleep at night knowing they are making money from stealing other people's work is mind boggling.
Praise to you for doing this! Those channels are a pain in the *ss!
I do redstone all the time, one was this one utilising village farmers to break crops and chuck it into a hopper. After some research i saw it had been done before, but when people either, A) wrongly accuse you of stealing, or B) use things without credit, it makes me wanna chuck em in a mob grinder. Great video that adresses a peoblem wider than just redstone. Keep it up!
I find it funny how the editing style of BBlocks’ videos is IDENTICAL to an og youtube content creator called MagmaMusen. Honestly, the little titles at the top of the screen are uncannily similar.
Another thing to note is that even though Shulkercraft credits the designers, they don't ask for permission. Ilmango designed a cobblestone farm and made a video about it with a tutorial in it. Shulkercraft took the design and made their own video without asking and got more views than ilmango. Another thing is that they clickbait nether tree drops per hour by including the non-stem blocks. But the worst clickbait they did was "how to get infinite diamonds". The video was just them saying you can buy diamond gear from villagers.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PURPLERS.
the bedrock TH-cam community is so bad at this point I simply walked away from it forever. there wasn't any choice in the end. as a small channel you won't see any growth over anything from the works of stolen java content that simply doesn't work, its just a complete mess compared to java that was built on TH-cam as much as TH-cam was built on Minecraft. bedrock had a lot of potential and also flaws but it has died by the hand of those who milked it for everything and drove away their own audience.
it was hard walking back to java after trying to work to help bedrock in so many way but there's only one road left.
This may sound irrelevant, but I like your redstone builds :)
Every Redstoner getting their designs ripped off: Hey, what the heck.
::Rip-off artists steal from Mumbo::
Every Redstoner: You've tread on sacred ground and have clearly chosen death.
literally me
Just so you know, Megamanny is steveees other account. He uploads basically the same thing on both channels. He does this because both channels get millions of views so hey, why not multiply?
This is why I mostly choose to follow tutorials from TH-camrs that do not live on short form content and are TH-camrs I trust and I've watched for a while. I very rarely follow tutorials from TH-camrs I have never heard of, unless it's the only video that has what I'm looking for.
This is insane to see. That being said, I found your channel from Doc but have never heard of any of these thieves (aside from shulkercraft which is a shame cause I love those guys)
That was a simple mistake, and very nitpicky on this channels part. Normally they always credit the creators, and this one since there was multiple, one who was barely mentioned from the channel they got it from, it was very easy for it to slip through. But then they fixed their honest mistake so in my opinion it really isn't worth mentioning.
@@dawsonreum8096in early videos they just steal and don't credit author then people on reddit made post after that they start crediting people
@@b0c58it's better to learn from your mistakes, than never learn.
I feel kind of vindicated that when I take a redstone creation and replicate it in one of my worlds, there's always a sign near the most accessible redstone components (or outright in front of the demo build in my SMP lag tester world) that actually says whose tutorial I followed, if I modified it (I note down what I had to tweak, usually it's adding delays or space restrictions), and if hybridized I have both designs' creators on the sign(s) (and any official name the systems' creators gave them).
That way at worst, all I have to do to remember where it's from is to open my old test world or go into the "repair hatch" and find the note I left myself, because I don't always remember who first posted a design. (and sometimes I have a "made b X and popularized by Y" sign, when someone credited another's design and made a tutorial on it from schematics I can't understand)
Even if I did try and steal someones redstone build, nobody would believe it as I am TERRIBLE at redstone. TERRIBLE.
1:36 I'm a Filipino and I'm so sorry. We don't own that thief
I just wanna appreciate how mumbo credited purple so well exactly like he deserves! Give credit to people before using their designs like that:)
Underrated very underrated channel I've ever seen in my life . More underrated than Ryan Trahan. Like you deserved more than 10M subs. Thank god this was recommend to me . Those fools will pay!
Thank you for talking about this problem! The thieves are getting so much credit for free. I spend a lot of time designing my circuits and it feels really unfair.
Such a shame to see this problem is still in the TH-cam community. As a content creator myself I can say it feels degrading when you spend sometimes more than a day brainstorming videos ideas, executing recording and editing, just to see someone spend 3 seconds of their time taking it and adding some cool sound effect or music over what you made and calling it something "new."
This really opened up my eyes to the fact that I need to credit people. I use so many farms in my videos, and I never realized that I should give credit for some reason. Granted, I only get like 10 views, but the fact still stands.
FAKE REDSTONERS PART 2!!!!!!
Das nice news
Featuring stevee
@30th Century Senpai Channel [HIATUS] Why? I meant that it's good to see fake redstoners getting exposed.
@30th Century Senpai Channel ?
A documentary level voice destroying redstone gremlins? This is my type of content!
07:33 dude i literally was about to build this concrete generator using this video but got distracted and watched yours...aint going to use this vid now...
7:15 biggest roast ever
Been waiting for a video like this for a long time, great job on the video and hope to see more people showing the truth behind these channels.
When I read the title I thought its about people stealing literally Redstonedust, and I was like wtf, since when is is Redstonedust so scarce that people steal it, lol.
I hate this situation so much, and I really hope a solution will emerge soon.
I hate the fact that more and more redstoners stop sharing their builds because of the fear to be stolen.
It definitely has a huge impact on the stolen people. Take Ilmango, who makes a living out of his TH-cam channel, and who chose to drastically reduce his audience by reducing the amount of content he chooses to share...
People don't know enough the impact that stealing has on small content creators...
I think what happens often is these smaller redstoners who make the original builds don't always have the best editing to make building these contraptions clear. Of course this doesn't apply to everything but typically these larger channels make instructions in higher quality. Part of the reason I like shulkercraft so much is that they make most of their guides on making farms easier to follow than most other creators.
Your redstone designs are Phenomenal, you have such amazing talent, and your friends do as well. Keep up the great work my friend 😊👍
0:26 this is a problem that I can really agree with. Ofc my art is so bad that no one wants to steal it, but my friend is an artist and really knows this feeling.
Videos like this are so satisfying. There are more of these scumbags that needs to be called out. In the Shulkercraft part, you could've mentioned about them stealing Ilmango's stuff and Vktec's mob switch, video of which they didn't remove after Vktec asked them to.
Great video regardless. These are the videos that actually make people aware of the often miscredited, underrated side of Minecraft: the tech community 😊👍
I would still consider Shulkercraft to be a good youtuber, because it was only a few incidents.
@@psykat777 Idk about you man, stealing someone's stuff even after they outright asked them not to seems pretty scummy to me.

Nice job calling these people out.
I really agree with you. People work so hard for their redstone contraptions, and deserve credit.
7:45 to be fair they realized the mistake and fixed it so I don’t think any harm was done
They made many farm tutorials without asking the farm designer. For example a wither skull farm by ianxo4. Ian had already made a tutorial on the farm and they decided to just steal the farm design and get views.
@@foxes1127 they didnt steal, they credited
Can we take one second to look at the fact that Derpy Jhomes is literally verified
great voice you have there, purpledragonnuke! (Btw, you sound almost exactly like whitelight.)
How did Steveee think stealing a Mumbo video was going to go? People weren’t just going to not notice.
Ianxofour's Minecraft Elegance series has been ripped off so many times. His farms are insane. Not necessarily high yield or anything but the output/building effort ratio is ridiculously high. I love his designs, but I've seen several of them uploaded by random people with no credit at all (or the bare minimum, just a link or name drop in the description with no mention in title or video itself).
I think only laz1en asked ianxofour for his design tutorials
I remember finding this channel a long time ago and it wasn’t too active and now you are pumping out high quality content nice
Great video, finally this is being addressed and talked about.
The king of bedrock redstone is here❤️❤️

I adapted a shulker unloader that didn't allow for empty shulkers to go through the system. Basically added 2x circuits but it was my first truly successful attempt at redstone problem solving. I still use the design to this day. It's really good if you're a dump and run kinda player.
The leaves enderman farm he first built has major flaws aswell he often makes mistakes in copying from original creator
Skippy 6 gaming has a 3x3 piston door uploaded for bedrock.
So glad i watched the end of the video before attempting to build it.
The opening sequence doesnt work, he then replaces the missing block onto the piston, closes the door, which does work and declares it all done 😂
5:21
This person wasn’t playing on the pocket edition (bedrock edition) he was playing on the legacy console edition. Specifically the PS4 legacy console edition you can clearly see the spacing between the buttons and hot bar is as well as the gamma
The legacy console edition is a mix of Java and bedrock. But mostly Java.
> Java with Gameplay and mechanics
> Bedrock with exclusives like potions in couldrens and being coded in C++
Yes, but he claimed it worked on every single edition of Minecraft. Pocket edition, switch, bedrock etc. In his video it worked because he was playing on legacy console, but the point still stands.
When I met gamers react I instantly knew he was that type of contect creator that is "lazy", half of his content are videos that are supposed to be uncommon or something and then you see in one of his videos for example how someone found geode on the bottom of the ocean, and I also noticed how his content is made for younger generation like repeatingly using cringe audio so he would have his audience younger so he wouldn't get exposed easily probabbly.
I feel so bad now, because I built this from the copied video thinking it was original a while back. I'll definely use yours instead when the time comes!
7:50 damn, I built that design using his video and always had problems with it, no wonder 😒
Lol
Go on a different edition!
Stevee doesn't just steal Redstone, he steals everything
As a person who’s been practicing, learning and making redstone machine yeah that’s gotta be a pain.
wow. I did not know how big and widespread this issue was. I feel terrible for the people who take hours coming up with designs to end up with a mediocre number of views, just to have them stolen by bigger creators.
I understand, how frusturating it is to see other people ripping your content appart for their own gain, but i feel like ShulkerCraft didn't do it maliciously. I watch them regularly, and they promote other people builds, also giving shoutouts. It is an error on their side, and could have been handeled better, but i believe it was not for their own gain.
