Harry Potter Chess with Redstone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2024
- Hey everyone, in this video, I walk through how I made Wizard's chess from Harry Potter in Minecraft. From designing the 3D pieces, to figuring out how to control a 4-way flying machine, and all the logic required to make Wizard's chess work, I cover each step. At the end, I do a full playthrough of an entire game. I just tell the pieces where to go, then they move all by themselves. Thanks for watching!
A lot went into this video, and it required a lot of learning on my part as I am not a slimestoner or logical redstoner, so huge thanks to RMC Team, kk.mp4, and mattbatwings for creating great videos.

"Totally survival friendly" like someone is going to fucking make this in survival is incredible. Love the Redstone Minecraft community.
Yeah, I’d definitely be worried if they tried 😂
Challenge accepted
@@lifedelusion3793PLEASE do it and record it
@@heliumfire I will when my pc gets fixed dw
You only need 1,099,212 redstone dust, no problem!
Absurd! The flying machines are over the top and I love it! :-)
How are you not have any comments that say "Yoooo Xisuma!"
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You’ve inspired a lot of my videos, so I really appreciate it!
@@Kabukkafa"Yoooo Xisuma!"
how many likes for this to happen in Hermitcraft XI?😂
please show Mumbo, Tango, Impulse, and Doc, either one of you or all of you, idc i just wanna see it happen 😂
i think this is the coolest looking redstone minigame i have seen in my life
Dang.
I really appreciate that!
I agree, stoked as hell that this video was recommended to me.
I was going to say this is extremely underrated, but considering the upload date, it's probably not going to be long until it explodes as it's already getting some traction, it seems.
Very good production quality, too. You can tell it's a project of passion.
YOOOOO CRAFTY.
bro fr sent the army
survival friendly feels kind of like saying paper is edible
That’s a good analogy, I’d definitely agree (0:20) 😂
Honestly one of the best redstone builds I've seen in a while. Congrats to you and all the other youtubers who contributed to this :D For an idea, I would love to see how you manage to make Abalone (Basically a diagonal checkers where the goal is to push 6 of the opponents pieces off the board)
Wow, thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it! I’ve never heard of that game before, but sounds like it could be fun to do, thanks for the idea!
Props for the beautiful marble board too - love the color palette and the way some of the striping continues across colors and some doesn't. Really cool
Thanks so much! I’m not usually a builder like that but felt I had to at least try to do the movie board justice.
Literally the best redstone & technical minecraft youtuber on the rise
😅 No pressure
Jk, thanks!
I like how the chess pieces feel so polite shuffling out of the way when captured.
I never thought of it that way, I like that perspective
so uuh... i was not expecting that
you said wizard's chess but only the selfmoving pieces part, and i started thinking about how you were going to show some 5x5 based board with redstone lamps or something that you'd control with an 8x8 wall of buttons or something from a glass plattform way up above
and then you showed the flying machines and the board and i almost gave myself an epileptic episode from blinking so much so fast and i'm still trying to peel my eyebrows off the ceiling
dude this is epic!
there are so may ways to make chess in minecraft but you absolutely win the whole category with this one
amazing work
take my sub, you earned it
Wow thanks so much! That’s by far the most thorough compliment I’ve ever had here, it really means a lot!
@@SeaJayPlays oh, well...
I kinda just caught myself a bit early tbh
Cuz i could've gone on for a good bit longer
You gave me so many ideas with this video and i have a whole lot of input on both the video itself and the build
For example, just the Board!
You absolutely did not need to make such a cool looking blue stained white marble slab but I'm so happy you did cuz it looks amazing!
I’m glad it could give you some inspiration! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
If you want good looking pieces you could just stack multiple of those flying machines on top and simply use a a few blocks added to the bottom one to reach up and direct the top one where to go based where the bottom one is going. The best part about that is it is an independent system from your other redstone so shouldn’t mess up anything else but itself if it doesn’t work. From there you could just stick a cross or something on the king and whatnot
That’s actually a pretty good idea! I’ll look into if connecting them like that is possible!
I saw this on my fyp and said ofc someone did it
😂 About time, right
This is absolutely incredible, and so is the production value of the video itself! I would love to see you explain this in more depth. Also, if it doesn't already, adding pawn promotion would be an interesting addition.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the editing, I’ve been working on getting better at that. I’ll be working on a couple in depth videos soon!
This version doesn’t have pawn promotion, but another comment gave me an idea of how it could be done. Stay tuned for v2
Finally a good use for 4 way tech in survival Minecraft, great idea!
As for chess peaces - another way to make them is with 2D pixel art on top of the engines. You just have to take an empty "bun", add single slime block on top of all eternal segments and place 5 coloured blocks on the sides of that slime. It will be perfectly at push limit and it will create almost a solid surface for pixel art on top of the engines. Problem may be resolution to fit chess icons so you may need to increase engine size, but honestly I like your goofy solution with 3D peaces more xd
Also from the timelapse at the end I didn't really catch how do you delete chess peaces, do you just `/fill air`?
Hey, thanks so much! I’m just glad you had a machine that worked exactly like I needed it to, otherwise this project would’ve been dead in the water lol
It’s funny you say that cause I actually did make a pixel version of the pieces as backup. If I end up doing a v2 I’ll make sure to show that!
Pretty close. At the start, I just let the machine fly off until it wouldn’t move anymore (out of my simulation distance). Then as the game went on I didn’t want to keep sitting there as they moved off the board, so once the captured pieces exited the frame, I would stop recording then use //set air to speed up that process 😂
@@SeaJayPlays I see, would be nice if this game was resettable so it's actually a fun minigame for vanilla survival. It sounds like a logistical nightmare but maybe in V2 you should program the peaces to move to some storage and after the game is over get back to starting locations. Also since we now know that we can put computers onto 4 way flying machines imagine how cool it would be to have all of the game logic on the engines themselves, but that is definitely a slimestone horror xd
Yeah I agree. The initial goal was to have a ‘graveyard’ that would store the captured pieces and allow for resets cause I did want to make it playable in survival. But yeah that in itself would’ve been just as must logic as the main game, so I kinda gave up on that idea 😂
Also, now that I’ve made the game and know all the logic required, I feel like I could make it more efficient/compact in v2 so making an actual survival-playable game could be possible. The only other issue I ran into was the shear size of the board cause when playing, parts of it are outside my simulation distance so sometimes necessary circuits wouldn’t load, messing up the moves. I used the Distant Horizons mod to get the whole board to render, but I’m not sure how to increase the simulation distance. The solution would be smaller pieces but then the ‘decoration’ gets sacrificed, and I’m definitely not good enough with slimestone to figure that out lol
This is so awesome!! im so suprised this hasnt gotten more attention haha, though a couple of other content creators are in this comment section which ive never seen before with a small comment count haha, anyways I love this stuff, youve gained a sub :3
The support’s been great, so I really appreciate it! Thanks for subscribing! I’ve got a couple ideas for some big projects like this, so any motivation is encouraged 😂
@@SeaJayPlays awesome!! ill keep an eye on it :]
This is absolutely impressive! I would like to see a more detailed explanation.
Thanks so much! I’ll get working on that, then! Are you more interested in the logic or “mechanical” side of things? I think I might do two separate videos for those steps.
@@SeaJayPlays I'm more interested in the logic. I think I understood the mechanical aspect of how the flying machines get directed around the board from this video, but not exactly how all the movement directions are decided. Especially, you left out the logic behind captures in this video.
Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll cover the logic side in more detail first then.
I probably should have shown how the capture system works cause I was pretty proud of how I did that. It’s all self contained in each square and I think you’ll like it when go through it!
Amazing, just woww
Thank you!
Hello, super cool vid!
I wanted to give some small production advice, as someone who is also in the mc niche:
try using replay mod to capture your b-roll shots, rather than recording ur screen and walking around as a player. It will take longer but the result will be much more smooth and professional looking camera movements.
Also record ur b-roll in 30-50 fov, rather than a normal playing fov, as the lower fov looks a lot better, and makes the frame smaller, making it easier to highlight a specific object or characteristic with your shot.
Lower fov is also much more easily understood (due to less visual clutter) when looking at a small image, which would probably help your thumbnail as well.
I appreciate you taking the time to give some advice!
I've used replay mod once and it kept crashing my game. When I finally did manage to get a 5 second recording, it came out in like 480p lol so I must be doing something wrong. Do you know of any good resources to help troubleshoot that?
That's a good tip! I never thought to change that. So just the b-roll at 30-50, but keep the POV stuff (like in tutorials) normal?
Thanks
So, in 1:17 you went Qe5 but you should have went Qf7. Qe5 isn't checkmate because you can block the attack with the queen, bishop, or knight. I think it's a very good video so far and you achieved something really impressive 👍
Good catch! I just saw the red check light and was like, good enough lol. Clearly I’m a bit better at playing Minecraft than playing chess. I’m still glad you’re enjoying the video even with that blunder!
After Qxe5 the opponent can also capture the queen. Qxe5 is like the worse possible move in that position XD
Yeah I was looking back at the position, and the more I looked the worse it got 😂From now on, let’s just say I meant to do that
This is just incredible! Kudos. This is one of the best redstone builds i’ve ever seen. The best chess too
That’s very kind of you to say, I appreciate it!
This is insane! Such a creative idea, huge congratulations to you for pulling this off!
Thank you! There were definitely more than a few times when I didn’t think it was going to work, so I appreciate your comment!
underrated video
this is insane keep up the great work!
Thank you, I’ll try!
You could try using multiple flying machines to allow for more piece decorations. Or extend decorations out of the ground in a unique shape for each piece
If I could connect multiple flying machines I think that could be pretty cool! Not sure how my computer would fare against that though lol
I don’t know enough about triple, quadruple, etc piston extenders but having the pieces come out from the ground like that would look cool too. I’ll look into those if I start working on a v2, thanks!
How does this giant project only have 3k views oh my
I guess I need to go bigger 😂
way to cool this is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
I noticed you even managed to include castling, which must have been insane to program? I might have missed it, but is this version also capable of en passant? Absolutely amazing work, this is probablv the most impressive redstone build I've ever seen!
Thank you so much! Unfortunately this version doesn't have en passant cause I got too tired haha but if I do end up making a V2, I'll definitely make sure to include it!
Jeez... Keep going, incredible work!
I appreciate that, thank you!
Looks like Carlsen vs. Dolmatov from 2004
Nice, that’s the one! It’s also the shortest game on the list of Carlsen’s ‘best games’ 😂
you are underappreciated for how much effort you put into this project. keep it up!👍👍👍
That means a lot, thank you!
Okay but why does this have only 2000 views should be at least 1 mil
Hahah I wish right. Thanks for the support!
underrated as hell
Thanks!
Beautifully done. So happy to see physical pieces, and loved the board pattern. Is there a reset sequence for the game?
Thank you! I thought about it but got a bit burned out. I might implement one in the future though!
@@SeaJayPlays I totally understand, these projects requires such a massive step back to see what really needs to happen. Good luck and thank you for the insight
Sure thing! Exactly, now that I know what I know about how it’s built, there’s a lot of things I would do differently. But it’s really motivating to see people showing interest in the build and/or potential add-ons
This is insane..Love it
I’m glad to hear it! Thanks!
The size of this thing is massive... its so cool bro :D amazing job lol
Yeah my computer was dying the whole time 😂 thank you!
What and amazing work !!! I don't see any way to top that. I wonder how much the create mod would simplify the build.
Wow thanks so much! That’s a good question. I’ve never used the Create mod, but I think if it allows you to make a much 4-way smaller flying machine then the build could be way more compact. I’m not sure what other simplifications are available in that mod, but it could be interesting to test out
@@SeaJayPlays You can make structures that ride on top of a minecart or a train network (different from minecarts) So you could have modeled chess pieces (like a cosmetic structure) and use the create mod to easily move them without relying on slime blocks flying machines. You could focus on the coordinates system to adress the pieces movement and probably make the whole thing a lot more compact.
I'll probably toy a bit with the idea and see what I can come up with.
I didn’t know that, that’s really cool! And opens a lot of possibilities
This is awesome! also where is the grave yard?
Initially I wanted the graveyard to be an off-board “docking station” that would allow for easy resets, but currently it’s just me sending the pieces off the board until they’re out of my simulation distance lol
That’s something I want to include if I do a v2 though
very cool ! I think you should learn instant repeters.
Yeah that sounds like something I probably should have done 😂 thanks for letting me know!
This is so underrated
Thanks so much!
This is insane...
Just a bit haha
You are the definition of crazy
😂
Mspt is terrified of this man
😂
i made a 6way flying maschine, u can have it for 3d chess if you want
Awesome! Is it on your channel? I’ll definitely check it out when I get the courage to build chess v2, thanks!
@@SeaJayPlays not published yes, if u actually want it i can send it on discord.
Okay gotcha. I probably won’t start work on it for a while, so that’s alright. I also don’t have a Discord account, but if you haven’t published it when I do start making the new one, I’ll hit you up again! I appreciate that!
during the explanation what’s the blinking steve potion effect looking thing in the top right
Good question! I wasn’t sure anyone would notice it. That’s a mod I use called noclip, and it allows you to fly through blocks like you’re in spectator mode. It’s super helpful when building in tighter spaces or where there’s lots going on. Here’s a link to their Modrinth page if you want to check it out: modrinth.com/mod/noclip
wow man......bro you might even make each piece a custom redstone machine programmed with specific movesets with enough time
Haha maybe one day, but for now I think if I see another chess piece I might be sick 😂
That disclaimer though
😂
U should post this in the marketplace for bedrock so many people would buy it
😂 I’m honestly not sure it would even work in Bedrock
Did you program in en passant?
Nope 😂
But I’ve promised a couple other people now that if I do a v2 I’ll make sure to add it!
missed opportunity to write "thanks for witching" in the harry potter font at the end :|
Dang that would have been good, but I’m glad at least someone made it to the end!
"Survival Friendly" 💀
For the brave of heart 😆
how does bro have only 200 subscribers
I appreciate the support!
could just move the piece into the floor that got captured.
If I find a 6-way flying machine, that could definitely be done! And it would make resetting the board a lot easier too!
@@SeaJayPlays there's probably a way, I'm not much of a Redstoner but I have solved tough or interesting problems, I don't play Minecraft much.
@@SeaJayPlays and now I found a 6 directional design th-cam.com/video/7XRbR59uqOA/w-d-xo.html now I know it isn't yours and many Redstones don't like reusing other people Redstones but many including mattabatwings wouldn't have their Redstone without someone else's help, maybe time to stop reinventing the wheel. now it needs some tweaking for what you want but worse thing is, is that you need some grabby grabber claws to activate the slime machine to go down, that actually sounds cool thinking about it, and or just have a retracting floor so the machine can move inside the floor before it starts moving, it could act as a visual to see where the machine moving.
@@SeaJayPlays your solution worked thats what mattered, also the original comment was a little to quick.
That’s pretty cool, I’ll check that out! Yeah I’d say I prefer making my own stuff, but when it comes to flying machines, I’m pretty terrible so I’d definitely have to look to someone else for help. Even in this video I ended up using RMC Teams’ and kk.mp4’s designs.
The retracting floor and machine moving up/down is reminding me of a rocket. I think that might be cool to do if someone hasn’t done it already lol
But now the question is... did you implement en passant?
👀
Let’s just say I’m glad the game I played didn’t use it haha
@SeaJayPlays but thats the most important move 😥
Sorry haha, I’ll make sure to include it in version 2!
“really basic steps of how I did it”
Yeah maybe I understated it a little
