Just want to drop a thank you for this series. I'm finding it very enjoyable. I also hope you and the family are not snowed in or had any loss of power etc.
I really appreciate creators who understand that a video is getting long after it passes the half hour mark! I have a hard time managing more than 20 minutes at a time, and when I inevitably get interrupted, everything before that is lost. Forward placing is the single Bedrock feature I most jones for, closely followed by whatever mechanic(s) it is that allows making trident killers for hands-off afk-able player kills. I'm looking forward to learning how to install a safety on those. Yeah, powder snow may be slow, but it's reliable for getting rid of pigmen and magma cubes. I've been using it for years now to make traps to keep pigmen from cluttering up my portals, although I recently learned that placing armor stands in the portal will keep them from spawning there at all (dunno if that's another Java-only feature, though).
Never heard of the Armor stand one and not sure how that would work on bedrock, my guess is the armor stand would be sent into the nether as the pigman spawn mechanic that's getting used here is a bit different. Every time the portal lights it has a chance to spawn 1-4 pigmen which if I recall isn't something that Java has. From what I know this was left so bedrock could have gold farms from earlier versions before people realized you can build nether based gold farms on bedrock just alot of people don't want to. With not being able to build on the nether roof some consider it to much work to do a nether based Farm :( As for the Video's length I been trying to find the right spot for this series and I been floating between 20-25 mins on average with a random one + or - a min here or there. This video I was trying something new with Editing Software that my Friend Hatter made which helps streamline the whole process by loads and by default was longer. I decided to try a longer episode to see how the audience takes it and this was probably a dangerous video to do it on. Might have been better to try it on a Tech Vid but I'm trying to break the norm on my channel so we shall see. Sorry gave you a book there but really enjoyed your feedback and thought I'd leave some in return.
@@SlackLizard I am a textbased lifeform, and I do not mind reading at all! I'm pleased to get your thoughts. Although I prefer shorter videos, I can't deny that I schedule time to watch DocM77's movie every week! I admit I've dropped back on watching some creators after they moved from an average of 20 minutes to 30 minute videos on the regular, but every creator has to find what works best between them and the majority of their viewers, and I will stretch to the best of my ability for creators I particularly value. I know it has to be difficult to condense good, meaty content down to a comfortable viewing length, but despite my interest in the mechanics and learning how to build good farms and other contraptions, unless I'm specifically looking for a tutorial, I'm here much more for my creators' personalities. I'm glad you've got a tool that streamlines the editing! I get the strong impression that editing is the most time consuming, least enjoyable part of producing videos for most creators. So I'm all for anything that improves the process; that leads straight to more frequent, better content. I haven't actually tried the armor stand thing for myself yet and have no idea what the mechanics behind it actually are, but I learned it from a slicedlime snapshot video, so I know it's true. Yeah, the pigmen spawning has nothing to do with _lighting_ the portal in Java; it's simply that each of those purple portal blocks has a chance of randomly spawning pigmen, so the bigger the portal, the more pigmen you get. There actually have been overworld farms based on this mechanic (I built one myself way back in 1.10, and learned from that _never, _*_ever_* to build a portal-based farm near a player-use portal without exquisitely perfect linking!), but they're not even remotely as effective as Bedrock's thing.
I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about the supports being so close. I thought they should've been just a little farther away..... I was wrong it looks great!!!
I've been working on the railroad All the live-long day. Also remember smart trident killer on gold farm. I like the deep slate with the fence in the middle and maybe add some cracked brick to give it the appearance of age with some vines too?
@SlackLizard - I personally like the deepslate options for the rail system supports over the acacia focused ones. A suggestion I would have is to use the double deepslate for areas that require more support due to terrain or areas connection and the solo for simple support. It would be a nice combination.
Add the double supports every 4 column supports, you’ll find double supports every so often on elevated structures. Usually done for stability and to give the extra support while keeping the structure flexible. Otherwise without the flex from the single supports the structure could fail from material and design harmonics.
I do love watching you work out building stuff - sometimes getting a vague idea from your head into MC is a pain in the butt but it's always satisfying when it works out. I like the idea of the double support pillars, I thought it looked great with the stripped wood. Maybe, as someone else commented elsewhere, do that every few pillars? Save on the wood and also for the aesthetic. Really am getting a whole new appreciation for acacia but I do wish it was easier to get a large supply! As a Java player, I am deeply jealous of forward placing. I also didn't realise that this gold farm wouldn't work on Java. That's a crying shame, I was considering giving it a try. Ah well I'm sure some clever types somewhere have come up with java gold farms although if it's nether only, Imma going to nope out :D I like longer vids so the length didn't bother me. 40 minutes goes fast when you're enjoying what your watching and just sometimes, 20 minutes can feel too short.
I agree on 20 mins feeling short most of the time. It's actually easier to do longer episodes in a way if I'm being really chatty it's hard to find that balance of keeping it interesting. I find music tends to help a lot in the background
Great video. To answer your question, my favorite Bedrock exclusive is definitely trident killers. Like the rail system how everything is progressing. I was thinking as you were building that you could conserve your Acacia planks under the rails by using upper slabs. I like adjusting the heights of the pillars to match the terrain like you did and the lanterns are a great touch. I like the single support or the duel brick support pillars. I think the deepslate bricks look nicer for pillars than the Acacia. You could hide the lever by putting them on the bottom of the block in the middle. I think there is a hidden block that could be removed to allow for this. With all the Acacia you are using, an Acacia tree farm might be a great next farm. :) The powdered snow failsafe is great. However, I've had powdered snow disappear on me before (in a trident killer scenario similar to yours), and because it slows the fall of mobs, if your trident killer pistons are moving too quickly, it can keep the mobs from falling all the way down. However, these both seem to be working okay on your farm, so it might just be a quirk on my world. Often times, at least on sim 4, flying away then returning can help despawn unruly mobs if you get too many of them at once. Looking forward to what you build/do/adventure next. ~Cam
Was still a great suggestion as you and many had the same idea. Kinda funny Allays have been in the game for a few years now and I've barley used them yet.
That is a nice thing but it's sad that while the furnaces are in motion there is no active smelting going on. They are still handy for making a smelter using less Iron though.
Was that silent at the start 😂 cool rail line. I’m thinking of doing that over time plus paths and ice roads. Keep it up you come up with all the smart ideas.
My fav bedrock thing. Not sure how much of a"feature" it is. But it's also going away soon. Is Flower fields being covered. I just love the esthetic of it. And makes dyes handy. Which ties into bonemealing flowers i guess. Makes dyeing stuff less painful
@SlackLizard bedrock meadows (flower firelds) are normally COVERED in all the flowers. But javas has small patches. The way I understood upcoming changes. Are "meadows" will have alot less flowers. As for bonemealing. I think bedrock is easier. (Never played java). But you can bonemeal flowers. And get way more on bedrock. Like the same flower keeps reproducing. Instead of randomish flowers. (Sorry long thought lol)
@ honestly man it made me crack up. It’s now permanently stuck in my head. Have always liked your content but really like the pace and feel of this series. Keep it up and don’t burn out PLEASE!
@@zacpropst9994 One of the main goals with this series is a way for me to prevent burnout which usually happens on the Mega Builds and such. With sticking to smaller builds and farms I'm slowly making Mega Areas but not a single Mega Build is my goal
@ I mean you rail system is a pretty serious endeavor lol but obviously it’s sparks the creative side so ya much different feel from farm grinds and I bet you will get so much satisfaction from completing that project.
Best bedrock exclusive has to be No quazi connectivity. That would do my head in having things redstone powered that I don't want powered. Slack if you plan on having more than 1 gold portal ticker can you explain pending ticks?
@SlackLizard cheers buddy! As always your content is fantastic and highly educational and more importantly entertaining. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Great video I’m enjoying your solo I have a question is there a structure file for the gold farm I didn’t see it in structure channel your a great builder keep up the amazing work
I love content creators who do slow pace playing because i feel like i can play alongside with them.. The bedrock exclusive that i love abusing to use are forward placing and torch underneath a slab, carpet or stair. For the support pillar of the railway, you can do it in alternating designs.. And to save some resources, why don't you try to do a support pillar every other ones..
hi all. have you seen the newest snapshot? they are gonna remove zombie villagers from zombie spawners. I just saw Slack's Zombie Spawner / Villager built and replicated it. Now they are gonna break it. I'm somehow frustrated.
I like the two wide with the acacia in the middle and the two deepslate on the side. I'm sure someone will correct me, but I am sure snow cover leaves are only on bedrock. Now, unfortunately, your cheated iron farm will not work. Now, what i mean is that you will not get the discount because Mojang is removing zombie villagers from the spawner.
Yea I've said for ever the easiest way to fix that would be stopping the zombie villagers spawning form spawners which honestly I think is a silly change but it's their game
Personally, the joys of retirement, being able to do a 18 hour build in one day and thinking nothing of it, lol. Can't comment about favorite 'Bedrock exclusive" feature, I don't do Java or pay attention to it's mechanics. I tried Java before and hate you can not use controller, and the mods to allow you to are glitchy.
Yea I've known quite a few people who have tried to use the controller mods and were not happy with them at all. Side note it's not that I couldn't set down and do that kind of grind in MC I have for years but me personally I'm trying to change my style of content. I'm trying more consistent content along with content that I'm personally happy with. There have been many times in the past I just put out a vid to just put out a video and I don't want to do that anymore. I'm what 5 years into this now and I want to try to make this channel grow more and I want to be happy with it and that's why I've shifted the style of the content I been doing as of the last couple months. Will it work... I dono but I know this I wont stop :)
Another enjoyable video Slack. Pinned comment isnt showing for me, you havent forgotten it have you????? Glad you've put the fail safe on the farm, wouldn't want it to erupt 😉
For the railway if you want the levers on each side for the look of them you might be able to put a redstone torch underneath the acacia log the rail is on in areas that the levers face the wrong way. 31:25 That one does look nice with the deepslate on the sides with the fences in the middle. You could try replacing the deepslate on either side of the fence with deepslate brick walls to add a bit more depth Also smart trident killer for gold farm :)
To me "exclusive features" shouldn't even be a thing. It's a lazy excuse not to fix problems with parity. Minecraft is literally 1 game. It doesn't make sense to have different rules on different platforms.
While part of me does agree with you part of me doesn't either. Let's face it they will never be the same game so some people that keep preaching parity for everything is just pointless because some things will never happen ya know.

Best bedrock feature: that you can stop flying with the elytra.
That is a very nice one
I agree, you definitely need a smart trident killer on the gold farm.
Always enjoy watching the new adventures Slack gets into on his solo world.
Appreciated Bird
I was going to post to use an allay sorter for a non-stackable sorter. But you don’t need that now.
Was still a great suggestion as you and many had the same idea. Kinda funny Allays have been in the game for a few years now and I've barley used them yet.

Maybe have a play with some detector rails for rail power if it fits with your design

Pretty simple build for alot of xp for sure
Glow moss at the bottom of the supports?
Maybe, will have to see if I can find some
