  • This video documents the process of investigation and discovery attempting to make the ultimate anti-personel weapon in minecraft. However it ends in tragedy as hours of science and mathematics ultimately leads to a critical flaw due to an unexpected behaviour in projectile entities. Despite this I still felt the video was worth uploading given how much technical knowledge I encountered on the path to making the ultimate oneshot weapon.

    This is why the details of an event should be announced beforehand, instead of just saying halfway through the fight "yeah the giant machine you made is not going to work anymore, and your entire base is going to be outside the world border"

      Yea. I hate when events like these cater to specfic playstyles because they are better for content. You cant just build an unpenetratable fort because of the border. Border closing is so silly because people are good a pvp get a massive advantage while people who are more passive and strategic lose by having less area to work with.

      Gotta love it, the game creator was a pvp’er himself if i remember correctly and he didn’t want the builders to be op, so they got essentially nerfed into hell, as they were a team of builders, being told they couldn’t build, against a team of pvpers, complete waste of time imo, why hire an engineer to fight with a gladiator if you’re just gonna take his tools.

      The arrow knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the arrow from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
      In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the arrow is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the arrow must also know where it was.
      The arrow guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the arrow has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

    When a breeze hits a projectile, the projectile gets bounced backwards, but loses some speed. If you could get this working in a lazy chunk, and hit the projectile enough times, you could effectively cancel out its momentum. You might be able to use this instead of powdered snow to slow the arrow

    Could you just accelerate the arrows to half the velocity of the tnt? So in the first tick, the tnt arrives at its target then in the second tick the arrows would arrive and the tnt would explode. This is based on the assumption that the tnt would call the move() method on the arrow canceling its horizontal velocity.
    Would this work?

    • @Monkeylordz88

    Great video! I am certain it is possible to kill the player in one "damage frame". You can have two batches of arrows, spaced out by one tick. The first batch of arrows can deal the bare minimum required to kill a player, the second one can deal twice the amount.
    The first batch will deal D damage, but since the second batch of arrows deals 2 * D damage, the game has to deal additional 2 * D - D damage to " update the damage to be the highest one".
    In short, this sequence of scenarios will happen:
    Player gets D damage -> Totem pops -> Player gets 2 * D - D damage -> Player dies

    Heres a solution that might work:
    Have a lot more payload tnt, which explodes on the same tick in which it moves to the target, so that the horizontal velocity of the arrow has much less of an effect.
    Heres the order of what would need to happen in the tick the payload is loaded.
    1: the arrow moves to the target location, but keeps its velocity.
    2: one after the other, TNTs move to that location and explode, giving the arrow downwards momentum
    then on the next tick, the arrow would move downwards diagonally, but with enough payload tnt, that angle could be downwards enough to clear obstacles.
    Also, if arrows move vertically before moving horizontally in a tick (like other entities), they might go straight down when they have enough momentum to hit the ground/player in a single tick.
    I dont know if the multiple arrow spread pattern would be possible though.

      @harmenkoster7451 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      For that to work, you'd need the TNT payload to stop an exact distance ahead of the movement vector of the arrow. If you are off even a little bit, the arrow will end up with enough momentum to throw it in wildly wrong directions instead of the direction you want it to go. This means you need incredible accuracy over extreme distances with your TNT cannon. Like sub micron accuracy. Furthermore, you need the TNT to arrive 1 tick before the arrow in order to give the TNT time to detonate. Which is impossible for the way the machine currently works. You'd need to build a second machine for the arrows and some fancy trigonometry to ensure both the TNT and the arrow end up in the right place.

    The arrow knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the arrow from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the arrow is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the arrow must also know where it was.
    The arrow guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the arrow has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

      Minecart TNTs deal damage proportional to their velocity (From the Wiki: "The explosion has a base power of 4, the same as regular TNT, but the game also adds a random bonus value up to 1.5 times velocity, but no higher than 7.5. This means that with a speed of 5 or higher the power is a random value between 4 and 11.5. When triggered by an activator rail or by damage, the bonus value is calculated using the horizontal velocity of the minecart. When hit by a flaming arrow the velocity of the arrow is used instead. When triggered by fall damage, the fall distance divided by 10 is used.")
      Given a full netherite can already technically be killed by a single perfectly targeted TNT, the increased blast power from using TNT minecarts instead might help with adding some additional margin for error on the targeting!

    Does the tnt’s detonation affecting the arrow movement have the same affect as moving the arrow with a piston? Could you send a unit of tnt with the arrows specifically to trigger the snow effect on the arrows over the target, than, after the arrows momentum has been stopped the tnt launch charge appears above the arrow payload to accelerate and distribute?
    I’m probably totally off on my logic for this working but just wanted to throw out the idea lol

  • @Jog_Ming
    @Jog_Ming 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If enough tnts are added to the payload, it should work. For example, if 100 tnts are used to launch the payload to the destination, adding 1000 tnts to the payload will result in the arrow's downwards angle being approx 84.3 degrees (since arctan(10) ≈ 84.3), which is acceptable. Furthermore, extra calculations could account for this error and precision could therefore be achieved.

    @edwardg117 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you can get a payload of TNT in front of the arrows to cancel out their current velocity and stall them, you could then fire another payload to send them downwards. eg.
    Tick 1:
    - Stall payload arrives slightly offset from arrow target.
    Tick 2:
    - Arrows arrive, "behind" the stall payload. (velocity points directly at it)
    - Stall payload detonates, negating the arrows velocity.
    Tick 3:
    - Kill payload arrives.
    Tick 4:
    - Kill payload detonates, giving the arrows downward velocity.
    Not sure of the exact techicals, though surely a stall charge that at least slows them down enough so they barely move would work.
