    Falling-block transmutation was quite possibly the most powerful method of transmutation, because, unlike all the other methods, it wasn't limited to block metadata. It was possible to create a falling block entity from any block (and to hold those entities in stasis) in such a way that any possible block could be created _and_ obtained as an item in survival. The scicraft server still has a large amount of command blocks and end portal frames in their storage system.

      What scicraft did is very similar to the falling block transmutation shown in the video, with a couple of caveats:
      1. They could create *any* blockstate in the game, including unobtainable blocks like command blocks, portals, barriers, etc.
      2. They obtained their blocks in a 2 stage process, first generating the blocks they wanted as is with a form of block transmutation, and then using falling block transmutation to obtain them as items.
      3. They used a variety of advanced techniques to increase the likelihood of the exploit working, as it is normally extremely inconsistent

      4J knew and understood the coding of the game they were working with and it was mostly the same across all platforms it was on. Mojang barely understands Java anymore and even less so with Bedrock, which is why Minecrafts quality has nose dived right into the ground ever since the Better Together Update was announced and M$ decided to remove legacy console edition from all stores, just so Bedrock edition wouldn't have any competition.

      The old console version was, IMO, The version with the most potential. It was basically a 1:1 port of Java in many cases to the degree that several bugs from Java existed on 360 in their corresponding versions. If we could have one definitive version of MC on PC, I would want it to be a modified version of the legacy console version which has infinite worlds and mod support. Since near the end of its lifespan, It started merging the best of Java and Bedrock.

    Seeing how the piston transmutation unlocks the ability to do door transmutation sounds like something out of a minecraft tech modpack, which would be a great idea for an expert pack, using mods to mimic the ways these old glitches used to break the game and having those glitches be your only way to obtain new blocks and materials.

    I’d actually like to add onto this video with a discovery me and a few friends found on hypixel.
    We were messing around in their skyblock gamemode trying to generate so called ‘server placed’ red sand as it would unlock us that collection tree which was locked because of a challenge we had started.
    One of my friends was getting rid of a cactus farm he had when he discovered a sand duplication glitch, since it duplicated we hoped that it might be able to duplicate a few glitched red sand we had obtained in the past.
    When trying the glitch with the red sand, the red sand would simply turn into normal sand. After I saw this video I looked at the minecraft wiki and it turns out they share the same item ID, and instead using meta data to determine which is which. Now our bug involved dropped sand in unloaded chunks onto a mushroom placed on dirt, after which there was a chance that it would replace the mushroom rather than turn into an item, at which point the transmutation you’ve talked about would occur with red sand turning into normal sand. I assume that when it replaced the mushroom that since the mushroom doesn’t have any meta data, it would set the value of the red sand to 0 since it had to place it as a normal block since it had touched the ground, as such it would turn it into normal sand

    You forgot the most insane version of block transmutation. Most people who I talk to about it simply call it “falling block” and it’s featured in an ilmango Scicraft video (specifically “getting command blocks in survival”). Basically, it allows for the generation of ANY block using falling block data. It’s incredibly complicated but it allows for the generation of any block in the game.

    Wait the block transmutation still works nowadays but it is is far more complicated than it used to be. Now instead of changing the block id, it changes the block binary or something like that from 2 blocks, the first half from one and the second half from an other. It permits getting every single block including creative only blocks such as command blocks, barrier block. By transmitting it to a falling block, they can get the block in their inventory and place it wherever they want. I’ll try linking the video if you want

    For the Stone Brick variations, for a while breaking a Stone Brick Stair would give you a specific one depending on the direction you placed the stairs in. Was a 6:4 conversion cost so not horrible either.

    Block transmutation is fantastic! I use it to get smoothstone blocks in beta minecraft on the Back to Beta server. Unfortunately its a limited process in beta so only really useful for the one type of block but we all use it well as a welcome addition amoung the limited block options.

    I think the best part is the falling sand transmutation where you can get all sorts of unobtainable items like command blocks, barriers, and end portal frames. It’s what scicraft used and was touched on with ilmango, but you can go down a deeper rabbit hole.

    there is actually a new and more versatile form of block transmutation used to get unobtainable blocks in vanilla but it's a bit more complex. Myren has some videos explaining how it functions and it was most popularly used by JKM to get command blocks on a few technical servers.

    One thing I've always wondered, is the old obsidian generator that turned redstone into obsidian blocks - was that a form of block transmutation, a purposely coded effect, or some old bug that has never been technically explained?
    I've never been able to find a real description of how or why that happened, at best there's just an update note on the redstone wiki page, nothing actually documenting if it was intentional or not.

    I remember throughout 2011 using block transmutation during the late beta era (before this post was made) It was pretty dangerous though because it could crash vanilla server software if anyone loaded that area of the world. On non-Vanilla server software only the client would crash, but they were effectively chunkbanned. I didn't use water sources though to control it. That is pretty ingenious.

    Minecraft transmutation:
    _This is it. The frontier of all advancement. What we have here is the philosopher's stone; a power sought after by mankind throughout all of history._
    _By taking advantage of the exact moment the game changes the metadata of a block, we are able to harness its power, for better or for worse._
    _With this, almost all problems are solved. Resources can be abundant, food can be plentiful, destruction can be amassed at the press of a button._
    _The only problem remaining is if it's ethical for one man to wield this much power._
    Terraria transmutation:
    _today on bottom gear_
    _i praise an ancient egyptian god_
    _hammond uses the fucking zenith_
    _and james frame-ones the dungeon guardian_

    Block transmutation still exists by overloading the game to force it to make another thread with observers, glass, beacons and a clusterchunk so you can then manipulate blocks into other blocks like sand into a end portal

    I never knew about transmutation, but the flattening was devastating to me because it meant the end of the texture pack Conquest, which used metadata to assign alternate textures to blocks. It was amazing for creative mode building! Now, there's hundreds more blocks, but you still can't get that variation in "stone" or terracotta
