Also I really appreciate this explanation video, you are so good at that and now I actually understand what just seemed like witchcraft to me in the original video, so thanks 😊
Thanks for posting this! I'd also like to thank you as your videos have given me interest in this side of technical Minecraft that I'd never even thought was this developed. Can't wait for what comes next.
29:57 tbh the first thing I thought about was teleporting into unloaded chunks with enderpearls that get loaded by the tnt explosion, just need protection or a totem or is there something preventing that idea?
next step in tnt cannon technology is an orbital strike cluster cannon. Imagine a cannon with not only accurate strike capabilities but also a variable in creating a field of tnt charges, it can be a single downards charge or a line of charges, or a rectangle, all using redstone to determine how the charges are spread out.
What's next? You make a particle accelerator that can rend space into shreds? You are a madman, and it's super awesome! Edit: Some mad scientist said they already kinda did, so I'll do one better. A railgun that shoots the projectile that supercedes and transcends it's own reality, finesse itself through spacetime and shoot someone in real life in past present and future?
They already have one. Kinda. There’s the thing with data splicing or whatnot where they are able to get any block including command blocks in survival. Or the one glitch machine that’s essentially quantum entanglement hard to describe, sadly it was patched cause of how game breaking it was. (It’s called item shadowing he also has a video on it)
This reminds me of the tech we'd use in Factions... TNT cannons got incredibly precise with tunneling effects aka "Nuking" in opposing factions' walls. Sand stacking and midair sand stacking all came to fruition back then. I remember writing a python script at one point to calculate exactly where the TNT would be based on the position/quantity of the propellant. flash forward about a year and a concept for one-shotting multiple base walls at once happened. good times.
It's a delight, and also insane to read about modern faction server tactics like this. I last played in early 2013 and I encountered NOTHING at this scale. The new tech everyone was talking about was adding falling sand blocks to payloads to blow up water-protected piston doors.
One advancement I'd love to see to this technology would be the ability to program multiple strike positions that it would hit sequentially. Logically that would allow you to have just one machine that can make infinite perimeters anywhere in the world if you increased the payload to be strong enough to reach bedrock. I definitely think it would be worth it in general just cause of how much harder perimeters are in 1.18+ although I know that would require almost entirely reworking the targeting counters cause you can't automatically interact with lecterns
I have just now, after I have been binging your videos for 2-3 weeks, noticed, that your not a many year old channel with over a million subs, but rather new with "just" 81k subs.(which is wicked fast btw, congrats on that). Your videos are punching way above your weight class, your doing a really good job explaing the important stuff in a way someone with just bearly above average theoretical understanding and no skill in building or even designing restone contraptions myself can understand most of the stuff you say. I, personally, could have even more explaing in there, especially on certain mechanics (or where you have have explained them already previously) if I had to give constructive feedback, but that's in huge parts thanks to my knowledge about all of the details or better lack thereof. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next utterly insane thing you post
With the underground TNT "surprize" demonstration, as soon as it blew up, an ad played. just before I realised that it was an ad, I thought that either your game had crashed, or the video ended. Either way, I was entertained twice over.
The whole technology is insane enough as is, and then at the end I hear you say "...the possibility of the 'instant perimeter'...". I now feel like I should throw my headphones and punch my monitor, lol
when i first saw this boi from you my first idea of usage was instant quarry and i have powerful enough server where i will do it thank you for your invention cubicmetre!
Actually minecrafts ballistics are highly non-linear because minecraft tries to emulate air resistance. As a result models built for cannons are quite computationally expensive.
With the knowledge presented at the end it should be possible to solve the offset issue in 14:30 by simply giving the (in the picture) bottom and left tnt momentum in the last tick before exploding so it moves forward in the lazy chunk, aligns itself against a block and explodes in this exact tick because it is still processed. I guess that my logic is some sort of flawed because the solution seems too simple and I'm not at all in the subject, therefore I'd love to get corrected.
I had the same idea! that's what I thought he was going to do when he started talking about an instant perimeter. Being able to wake up distant farms with a chunkloading system like this would be amazing
Maybe if you put a portal at the chunk borders where the tnt exploded it might be possible to teleport the tnt right before it explodes. That'd trigger the portal loading for 15 seconds on the netherside which could be used to load the area. Which (in case it works) opens up the question if the tnt keeps it velocity on the netherside and travels even further or if it just destroys the portal and maybe even stops the 15 second chunkloading and immediatly unloads the area again. I'm currently taking a break from Minecraft, but these questions might get me back into it. Maybe somebody else has time to test this Edit: Not possible, asked on the tnt archives server about this. Answer: The tnt only fetches block data from the memory, therefore nothing else than this explosions effect on blocks is getting processed. So no portals, no entities, nothing, not even the tnt effect on the items from previous explosions or something.
so with the wireless redstone with falling items would be perfect imo to load chunks to teleport to anyplace then back to set new cords the setup he showed would only give you 832 loaded blocks across 13 locations but still cool idea
unless you divide the map into 8 minus the center map make a machine that loads all the chunks in one of the 8 maps for a short time for you to teleport there and back using a wave machine or something to load 1/9th the map to then choose specific cords
very interesting i already head something along the lines of instant perimeter, after docm build his anvil canon. I was bit disappointed when he didnt build your crazy anvil everywhere all at once canon (still amazing what he build nonetheless).
23:12 The reason the TNT rendered after another entity can apply velocity to it despite being in the same position is actually because of wobble. The game processes entities one by one in render order so the other entities that were rendered first all move down, then the first TNT moves down and explodes in the same spot, applying velocity to the rest of the tnt in the opposite direction. The location that each subsequent TNT explodes wobbles around its location at the end of the last gametick, and the average location of explosions will be between its old location and where it would've ended up without the feedback loop. You'll notice this has poor efficiency because some of the explosions actually happen on the other side of the group of entities you're trying to accelerate. This is also how OoE fusions work and why they have terrible efficiency, and why on some factions cannons different hammer ratios change more then just the velocity they apply, like causing entities rendered after them to bounce up sometimes.
A thought: could use this to launch ender pearls? You could use this to nearly instantaneously teleport to any loaded chunk in the world. Forget piston bolts, you have cannons!
The powdered snow being in the sky over whatever you want to hit is like the ultimate Achilles heel, all you need to do is remove 1 powdered snow and the entire contraption becomes useless that is assuming you would go out of your way to break the powdered snow
The problem is, if you don't have the powdered snow then the payload will continue flying as it reaches the target. However if the target is unloaded the cannon will still work without the snow.
You could totally use wireless tech to encode the target coordinates for this. I might improve my "portable" transmitter design to be compatible with the binary receiver so it can be set up in the field quickly. Like seriously, this is groundbreaking, because now we actually have a practical requirement to apply information theory to; how to most efficiently transmit a complex signal from anywhere in the world in the least amounts of bits and blocks placed as is humanly possible.
Yes it would be pretty cool to transmit the coordinates to the cannon from anywhere in the world to call in an air strke. I'd imagine it would be pretty simple to make a redstone computer to perform the linear algebra for the phase space transformation and feed it to the cannon.
@@cubicmetre I mean its just a vector transformation, so it would be a pretty simple computer in fairness. But damn, finally computational redstone isn't useless! I'm actually gonna spare some time for myself this weekend to prototype something. Hopefully y'all haven't beaten me to the punch by then 🤣
@@cubicmetre inputting the right values from an excel table and launching from anywhere in the world (worlds) is done (using linked items) (not by me) (and it looks very neat: you take a shalkerbox, and it's like a panel where you can set values). I think building a calculator in game for that is too slow and unnecessary, using excel table doesn't waste too much time
My question is, assuming the server is running carpet mod, in a multi-player context, what counter-measures could be taken to effectively render an orbital strike incapable? What challenge can you make out of trying to survive an orbital strike? Assuming that you as a player have a script to log your exact location and player data when you log out, and knowing that you will log back in to an expected orbital strike, what could save your soul? I'd assume that one of the obvious solutions is to build a chunk-loader before you log out, which entirely solves the problem of logging in only to load primed TnT. A small obsidian shack entombing a chunk loader can endure weather harsher than any combination of Floridan Hurricanes, Californian Wildfires, and Australian Engineering. Additionally or alternatively, run a script to log in and log out as quickly as possible, whereby player login invulnerability is taken advantage of, the TnT explodes or begins to explode to the Chunk having been loaded for approximately 10 seconds, and then the player finally logs back in, possibly repetitively logging in and out to account for a long fall due to a stab-charge having destroyed all the blocks beneath a player. If that is the case, (to say that chunk-loading and login scripts successfully nullify an orbital strike as a threat) let's assume that there is a 10-second delay between when we log in and when we can log out, and assume an oldschool Minecraft faction mod, where Obsidian has an effective durability of 3, where block durability is defined as the number of instances where it can withstand an explosion before being destroyed, (this durability being measurable via right clicking with a potato created by a command block), and additionally, that the Obsidian inside of the orbital strike cannon is not subject to change--or alternatively, assume that crying obsidian is unmodified, and that we (the defending player/faction) do not have access to crying obsidian. At what distance is a sky base effectively out of the range? Could you create a series of chunk-sized pillars in lazy chunks surrounding a player (or chunk-loading mechanism) that have a constant use of TnT-mechanisms that explode so as to change the direction of any TnT that would otherwise be sent through it? Could you utilize powdered snow, 1-tick sand piston movement, or anvils in some form as a defense mechanism? If if truly can hit any coordinates in a Minecraft world, could you demonstrate how it is able to render a sub-bedrock bunker base null? Could you facetank explosions for an extended period of time? Using a Shulkerbox mod by Xisumavoid, th-cam.com/video/-BY0baj8UOo/w-d-xo.html, we can use the refill property to replenish Shields or Totems of Undying, and then survive for at least another 0.5 seconds for each item we can store in our inventory (and use an adjacent ender chest as additional storage). How about we assume that a script is running so that an orbital strike cannon knows our location, and as time efficiently as possible, an automatically will send a strike to our exact location as often as possible, that we spawn in (500000, 500000), and that we exist on a superflat world where structures can generate. Now, build an additional strike cannon for each player that has access to a server, run the script for each player, and create a challenge of trying to dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons in a multiplayer setting. Assuming that having a player entity enter the nether causes them to instantly die, (as well as many other changes), how would you go about the challenge of defending against Armageddon, establishing resources within a superflat world with no access to the Nether Dimension, and then dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons that may as well have converged into it's own death star? In this superflat, It would be very interesting to try and interact with the nether under the presumption that the player cannot enter it, but that we can use a seed and coordinates to understand what is on the other side, and then attempt to bring over resources from the nether to the overworld, or vise versa. Alternatively to the hell that I just described, what about trying to improve or create a variant of the Orbital Strike cannon that can use a payload or charging mechanism other than duped TnT? What about using the spawning of a Wither? Blue Wither Skulls? Regular Wither Skulls? Respawn Anchors/Beds? Charged Creepers? The thought of an orbital strike cannon that could destroy obsidian is horrifying beyond comparison, and could solve the obsidian chunk loading bunker as a problem to the effective capacity of an orbital strike cannon as an impossible exertion of a god's will on earth. ~Just some thoughts~
I have a feeling some 6 or so months from now, Fit is going to talk about how someone built an orbital cannon in 2b2t and is using it to destroy bases without even leaving their own.
Hey Cubic, I had an idea for a specialist TNT cannon you could try and build. In the Social/PVP series Last Life, players used block paths high up in the sky, including near world height, to drop TNT minecarts on unsuspecting players' heads. This is a smart move, as people don't really look upwards, especially when they're talking to each other, and there is little counterplay for dealing with someone up that high. However, I had a thought that maybe you could build a TNT cannon designed to shoot far upwards at these players, as, unless they're standing on obsidian, it would destroy the thin paths they are standing on and probably kill them or at least deal serious damage to them, especially if they can't land in water. The problem is that this cannon would need to be cheap and quickly buildable, and also be able to shoot pretty far off to the side (though it wouldn't necessarily need to be aimable in any sideways direction), so you don't get yourself (and potentially any TNT you have placed) blown up in the middle of building. It would also need to be able to target block paths at variable heights, including up to world height (maybe having a cheaper, quicker to build design for lower heights would be a good idea), and it also needs to have reasonable accuracy without having access to exact coordinates due to the PVP setting and how high up the paths are (i.e. you'd need to do it by eyeballing it).
Whoa dude, one constraint at a time, you can't just throw restrictions at a problem and hope you can find a solution. Instead you need to thoroughly weigh up the costs and benefits of a design to achieve the objective. "Just eyeballing it" and "precision shooting" are kinda mutually exclusive features in this scenario. In fact I demonstrate the use of a client mod to simply scan a target coordinate and immediately give you the settings, that is a good compromise between the two that makes the cannon possible.
@@cubicmetre I could've sworn the coord scanner mod was an external program, or otherwise not something you could use in a server. Sorry about that. Brain fart. These aren't hard restrictions, mind you. If concessions need to be made to make it work, that's fine. Even if it enters the realm of something impractical it'll still be interesting to see the process.

THIS IS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND! ITS COMPLEXED LOOKING BUT ITS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYTHING WORKS!
29:57 tbh the first thing I thought about was teleporting into unloaded chunks with enderpearls that get loaded by the tnt explosion, just need protection or a totem or is there something preventing that idea?
you could also just displace the enderperls speed such that it apears away from teh explotions
@@plopgoot5458 idk what you're talking about but sounds like a good idea 👍
The instant quarry sounds really neat!
next step in tnt cannon technology is an orbital strike cluster cannon. Imagine a cannon with not only accurate strike capabilities but also a variable in creating a field of tnt charges, it can be a single downards charge or a line of charges, or a rectangle, all using redstone to determine how the charges are spread out.
What's next? You make a particle accelerator that can rend space into shreds? You are a madman, and it's super awesome!
Edit: Some mad scientist said they already kinda did, so I'll do one better. A railgun that shoots the projectile that supercedes and transcends it's own reality, finesse itself through spacetime and shoot someone in real life in past present and future?
Probabli next is a instant quarry machine using the orbital strik canon
They already have one. Kinda. There’s the thing with data splicing or whatnot where they are able to get any block including command blocks in survival. Or the one glitch machine that’s essentially quantum entanglement hard to describe, sadly it was patched cause of how game breaking it was. (It’s called item shadowing he also has a video on it)

dear god Cubic PLEASE make that instant -server crash- perimeter maker
This reminds me of the tech we'd use in Factions... TNT cannons got incredibly precise with tunneling effects aka "Nuking" in opposing factions' walls. Sand stacking and midair sand stacking all came to fruition back then. I remember writing a python script at one point to calculate exactly where the TNT would be based on the position/quantity of the propellant. flash forward about a year and a concept for one-shotting multiple base walls at once happened. good times.
It's a delight, and also insane to read about modern faction server tactics like this. I last played in early 2013 and I encountered NOTHING at this scale. The new tech everyone was talking about was adding falling sand blocks to payloads to blow up water-protected piston doors.
One advancement I'd love to see to this technology would be the ability to program multiple strike positions that it would hit sequentially. Logically that would allow you to have just one machine that can make infinite perimeters anywhere in the world if you increased the payload to be strong enough to reach bedrock. I definitely think it would be worth it in general just cause of how much harder perimeters are in 1.18+ although I know that would require almost entirely reworking the targeting counters cause you can't automatically interact with lecterns
This is the most interesting video I have watched in months
This is amazing Sean! I'm trying to make a Discord bot to do the calculations so this was SUPER helpful
I have just now, after I have been binging your videos for 2-3 weeks, noticed, that your not a many year old channel with over a million subs, but rather new with "just" 81k subs.(which is wicked fast btw, congrats on that).
Your videos are punching way above your weight class, your doing a really good job explaing the important stuff in a way someone with just bearly above average theoretical understanding and no skill in building or even designing restone contraptions myself can understand most of the stuff you say. I, personally, could have even more explaing in there, especially on certain mechanics (or where you have have explained them already previously) if I had to give constructive feedback, but that's in huge parts thanks to my knowledge about all of the details or better lack thereof.
Keep it up, I can't wait for the next utterly insane thing you post
My man this IS building death star from scratch
This is a psychotic amount of work for a fucking Minecraft TNT launcher. Good shit lad.
the mechanic at the end is really exciting ! if you or other people develops an instant perimeter with this, it would be insane
With the underground TNT "surprize" demonstration, as soon as it blew up, an ad played. just before I realised that it was an ad, I thought that either your game had crashed, or the video ended. Either way, I was entertained twice over.
The whole technology is insane enough as is, and then at the end I hear you say "...the possibility of the 'instant perimeter'...". I now feel like I should throw my headphones and punch my monitor, lol
I hoped that you would look into the digging possibilities, but what you showed at the end will enable crazy things!
This is amazing. I am always mind blown with your crazy work. Keep it up!!!
I really wanted that video to be made! :D
when i first saw this boi from you my first idea of usage was instant quarry and i have powerful enough server where i will do it
thank you for your invention cubicmetre!
Now waiting for someone to inevitably build this on 2B2T
Looking forward to Hermitcraft season 10 when Doc uses this to establish dominance over the entire server!
We really love watching your videos. Please upload daily!
Engineers when air resistance is negligible.
Actually minecrafts ballistics are highly non-linear because minecraft tries to emulate air resistance. As a result models built for cannons are quite computationally expensive.
With the knowledge presented at the end it should be possible to solve the offset issue in 14:30 by simply giving the (in the picture) bottom and left tnt momentum in the last tick before exploding so it moves forward in the lazy chunk, aligns itself against a block and explodes in this exact tick because it is still processed. I guess that my logic is some sort of flawed because the solution seems too simple and I'm not at all in the subject, therefore I'd love to get corrected.
Can't wait to see this tech's development after a couple of years.
Man this is really crazy! You made really cool stuff! Keep it on!
keep it up cubicmetre!
YOU, SIR, operate on an entirely different level. Amazing.
So if TNT is loading chunks for a one tick is it possible to somehow hook it up to chunk loader in order to be able to turn it on remotely?
I had the same idea! that's what I thought he was going to do when he started talking about an instant perimeter. Being able to wake up distant farms with a chunkloading system like this would be amazing
Maybe if you put a portal at the chunk borders where the tnt exploded it might be possible to teleport the tnt right before it explodes. That'd trigger the portal loading for 15 seconds on the netherside which could be used to load the area. Which (in case it works) opens up the question if the tnt keeps it velocity on the netherside and travels even further or if it just destroys the portal and maybe even stops the 15 second chunkloading and immediatly unloads the area again. I'm currently taking a break from Minecraft, but these questions might get me back into it. Maybe somebody else has time to test this
Edit: Not possible, asked on the tnt archives server about this. Answer: The tnt only fetches block data from the memory, therefore nothing else than this explosions effect on blocks is getting processed. So no portals, no entities, nothing, not even the tnt effect on the items from previous explosions or something.
2:13 this gives me an idea to make a teleporter cannon for yourself using the tree second dmg immunity after dying while respawning in the cannon
the future of wavetech, instant quarrying 👀 and then, ofc, instantly pick up everything with falling hoppers ;))
"one really big fcking hole coming right up"
-Thermite
This is simply insane, Especially the outro part
now add a spread factor that allows it to wipe clean a 20x20 area to bedrock
This would be awesome to watch!
One streamer and TH-camr (Zakviel) has already done this, he has improved the mechanism and now the op can shoot 524 × 524
It would be so cool if you could use the tnt chunk loading technique for long instant redstone lines
so with the wireless redstone with falling items would be perfect imo to load chunks to teleport to anyplace then back to set new cords
the setup he showed would only give you 832 loaded blocks across 13 locations but still cool idea
new chunkloaders are a must now
unless you divide the map into 8 minus the center map make a machine that loads all the chunks in one of the 8 maps for a short time for you to teleport there and back using a wave machine or something to load 1/9th the map to then choose specific cords
zoned out for 20 seconds at 15:00 and now im lost
pretty cool, good job
im proud to say that this is the first full cubicmeter video that i watched to the end AND understood
very interesting i already head something along the lines of instant perimeter, after docm build his anvil canon. I was bit disappointed when he didnt build your crazy anvil everywhere all at once canon (still amazing what he build nonetheless).
I remember playing factions with kman in 2017 lmao did not expect to see him here
I think we need the MC equivalent of The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)
Wouldn't apply here, TnT is classified as a conventional explosive and thus is not prohibited by the TPNW
23:12 The reason the TNT rendered after another entity can apply velocity to it despite being in the same position is actually because of wobble. The game processes entities one by one in render order so the other entities that were rendered first all move down, then the first TNT moves down and explodes in the same spot, applying velocity to the rest of the tnt in the opposite direction. The location that each subsequent TNT explodes wobbles around its location at the end of the last gametick, and the average location of explosions will be between its old location and where it would've ended up without the feedback loop. You'll notice this has poor efficiency because some of the explosions actually happen on the other side of the group of entities you're trying to accelerate.
This is also how OoE fusions work and why they have terrible efficiency, and why on some factions cannons different hammer ratios change more then just the velocity they apply, like causing entities rendered after them to bounce up sometimes.
Mad scientist
Holy crap. That gem at the end...
All I need now is a list of blocks needed in the description
A thought: could use this to launch ender pearls? You could use this to nearly instantaneously teleport to any loaded chunk in the world. Forget piston bolts, you have cannons!
The powdered snow being in the sky over whatever you want to hit is like the ultimate Achilles heel, all you need to do is remove 1 powdered snow and the entire contraption becomes useless
that is assuming you would go out of your way to break the powdered snow
The problem is, if you don't have the powdered snow then the payload will continue flying as it reaches the target. However if the target is unloaded the cannon will still work without the snow.
@@cubicmetre how can it work while not rendered? doesn't the tnt still fly over it?
You could totally use wireless tech to encode the target coordinates for this.
I might improve my "portable" transmitter design to be compatible with the binary receiver so it can be set up in the field quickly.
Like seriously, this is groundbreaking, because now we actually have a practical requirement to apply information theory to; how to most efficiently transmit a complex signal from anywhere in the world in the least amounts of bits and blocks placed as is humanly possible.
Holy crap, I could make it use a serialised signal!
Yes it would be pretty cool to transmit the coordinates to the cannon from anywhere in the world to call in an air strke. I'd imagine it would be pretty simple to make a redstone computer to perform the linear algebra for the phase space transformation and feed it to the cannon.
@@cubicmetre I mean its just a vector transformation, so it would be a pretty simple computer in fairness.
But damn, finally computational redstone isn't useless!
I'm actually gonna spare some time for myself this weekend to prototype something. Hopefully y'all haven't beaten me to the punch by then 🤣
@@cubicmetre inputting the right values from an excel table and launching from anywhere in the world (worlds) is done (using linked items) (not by me) (and it looks very neat: you take a shalkerbox, and it's like a panel where you can set values). I think building a calculator in game for that is too slow and unnecessary, using excel table doesn't waste too much time
29:50 Instant Quarry, just --add-- remove water, available at a store near you!
Yes, we def want an instat perimeter
Please build that concept for an instant quarry. It may be entirely impractical, but it must be built.
Please make a step by step tutorial on how to make this please. I want to make this in my world 😊
If you chunk load a 5x5 will the center chunk be entity processing?
My question is, assuming the server is running carpet mod, in a multi-player context, what counter-measures could be taken to effectively render an orbital strike incapable? What challenge can you make out of trying to survive an orbital strike? Assuming that you as a player have a script to log your exact location and player data when you log out, and knowing that you will log back in to an expected orbital strike, what could save your soul?
I'd assume that one of the obvious solutions is to build a chunk-loader before you log out, which entirely solves the problem of logging in only to load primed TnT. A small obsidian shack entombing a chunk loader can endure weather harsher than any combination of Floridan Hurricanes, Californian Wildfires, and Australian Engineering.
Additionally or alternatively, run a script to log in and log out as quickly as possible, whereby player login invulnerability is taken advantage of, the TnT explodes or begins to explode to the Chunk having been loaded for approximately 10 seconds, and then the player finally logs back in, possibly repetitively logging in and out to account for a long fall due to a stab-charge having destroyed all the blocks beneath a player.
If that is the case, (to say that chunk-loading and login scripts successfully nullify an orbital strike as a threat) let's assume that there is a 10-second delay between when we log in and when we can log out, and assume an oldschool Minecraft faction mod, where Obsidian has an effective durability of 3, where block durability is defined as the number of instances where it can withstand an explosion before being destroyed, (this durability being measurable via right clicking with a potato created by a command block), and additionally, that the Obsidian inside of the orbital strike cannon is not subject to change--or alternatively, assume that crying obsidian is unmodified, and that we (the defending player/faction) do not have access to crying obsidian.
At what distance is a sky base effectively out of the range?
Could you create a series of chunk-sized pillars in lazy chunks surrounding a player (or chunk-loading mechanism) that have a constant use of TnT-mechanisms that explode so as to change the direction of any TnT that would otherwise be sent through it?
Could you utilize powdered snow, 1-tick sand piston movement, or anvils in some form as a defense mechanism?
If if truly can hit any coordinates in a Minecraft world, could you demonstrate how it is able to render a sub-bedrock bunker base null?
Could you facetank explosions for an extended period of time? Using a Shulkerbox mod by Xisumavoid, th-cam.com/video/-BY0baj8UOo/w-d-xo.html, we can use the refill property to replenish Shields or Totems of Undying, and then survive for at least another 0.5 seconds for each item we can store in our inventory (and use an adjacent ender chest as additional storage).
How about we assume that a script is running so that an orbital strike cannon knows our location, and as time efficiently as possible, an automatically will send a strike to our exact location as often as possible, that we spawn in (500000, 500000), and that we exist on a superflat world where structures can generate. Now, build an additional strike cannon for each player that has access to a server, run the script for each player, and create a challenge of trying to dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons in a multiplayer setting. Assuming that having a player entity enter the nether causes them to instantly die, (as well as many other changes), how would you go about the challenge of defending against Armageddon, establishing resources within a superflat world with no access to the Nether Dimension, and then dismantle a set of orbital strike cannons that may as well have converged into it's own death star?
In this superflat, It would be very interesting to try and interact with the nether under the presumption that the player cannot enter it, but that we can use a seed and coordinates to understand what is on the other side, and then attempt to bring over resources from the nether to the overworld, or vise versa.
Alternatively to the hell that I just described, what about trying to improve or create a variant of the Orbital Strike cannon that can use a payload or charging mechanism other than duped TnT? What about using the spawning of a Wither? Blue Wither Skulls? Regular Wither Skulls? Respawn Anchors/Beds? Charged Creepers? The thought of an orbital strike cannon that could destroy obsidian is horrifying beyond comparison, and could solve the obsidian chunk loading bunker as a problem to the effective capacity of an orbital strike cannon as an impossible exertion of a god's will on earth.
~Just some thoughts~
I mean, literally just place a block of obsidian above your head when you logout, that will do the trick.
This is why you should pay attention in math

I have a feeling some 6 or so months from now, Fit is going to talk about how someone built an orbital cannon in 2b2t and is using it to destroy bases without even leaving their own.
Can you make a tutorial on how to build this orbital cannon
The misle know where it is, because it knows where it isn’t
Hey Cubic, I had an idea for a specialist TNT cannon you could try and build.
In the Social/PVP series Last Life, players used block paths high up in the sky, including near world height, to drop TNT minecarts on unsuspecting players' heads. This is a smart move, as people don't really look upwards, especially when they're talking to each other, and there is little counterplay for dealing with someone up that high.
However, I had a thought that maybe you could build a TNT cannon designed to shoot far upwards at these players, as, unless they're standing on obsidian, it would destroy the thin paths they are standing on and probably kill them or at least deal serious damage to them, especially if they can't land in water.
The problem is that this cannon would need to be cheap and quickly buildable, and also be able to shoot pretty far off to the side (though it wouldn't necessarily need to be aimable in any sideways direction), so you don't get yourself (and potentially any TNT you have placed) blown up in the middle of building.
It would also need to be able to target block paths at variable heights, including up to world height (maybe having a cheaper, quicker to build design for lower heights would be a good idea), and it also needs to have reasonable accuracy without having access to exact coordinates due to the PVP setting and how high up the paths are (i.e. you'd need to do it by eyeballing it).
Whoa dude, one constraint at a time, you can't just throw restrictions at a problem and hope you can find a solution. Instead you need to thoroughly weigh up the costs and benefits of a design to achieve the objective. "Just eyeballing it" and "precision shooting" are kinda mutually exclusive features in this scenario. In fact I demonstrate the use of a client mod to simply scan a target coordinate and immediately give you the settings, that is a good compromise between the two that makes the cannon possible.
@@cubicmetre I could've sworn the coord scanner mod was an external program, or otherwise not something you could use in a server. Sorry about that. Brain fart.
These aren't hard restrictions, mind you. If concessions need to be made to make it work, that's fine. Even if it enters the realm of something impractical it'll still be interesting to see the process.
I love this tipe of explaining vid and you are a genius
Is there a way to make the stab charge without using lazy chunks?
Excellent documentation
This is so awesome. The explainations are also good. sooo cool

Love it can’t wait for the instant perimeter
Found this fascinating
I would love to see an automatic perimeter! Also an automatic ancient debris quarry?
I LOVE how minecraft went from a silly game with blocks to game where players build itself inside of it and makes an orbital, 100%, one shot, any place on the map, underground killer that breaks the game.
okay, we need the instant quarry
