Burying End Crystals In the Ground to Efficiently End Friendships 

Thinking that it may be the one moment where sppash potions of damage could shine - still no item destruction, and a good finisher for low hp targets

The detonation method could be a firework with 7 stars. It goes through armor and won’t instakill a player on full health. Not sure if it will do enough damage through the floor though, but with only one and a half hearts to go, it’s worth a shot.

One option to solve its lack of effectiveness against heavy armor is to use a more lethal projectile as the trigger. I would suggest firing a lingering potion of instant harming and then a splash potion of slowness in rapid succession so that it can hold them there and finish them off.

When I was younger I tried setting up a bunch of landmines to mess with my friends. They were basic TNT landmines, but I did wind up finding the one place I could hide them effectively. Snowy biomes. How it'd work was I'd set up a 3x3 grid of TNT with an observer to trigger it, have redstone ore on top of it, and then a layer of snow. Every with the snow layer on top, the ore will still update whenever you walk over it. It wound up being such a huge problem that the entire biome was just a massive deathtrap, even with the delay. I'd just made too many landmines.

wow most clean mine design I've seen. Haven't seen an end crystal used before. Hope thos video gets more recognition (;

Hey, remember that kids game made of blocks? Well here’s a perfectly engineered landmine

I love how you froze the game and stepped through the process one tick at a time. I've never seen that before, very nice! Also cool landmine

I love how everyone is discussing how to make the trap better. not just to kill someone for revenge but to troll one of your friends. Which would make them even madder because it's a trap that was overengineered JUST to kill them. Beautiful.

The other problem with landmines is that everyone has a totem of undying their offhand (unless you're in a friendly server, in which case why are you making a landmine?)

That's quite the convoluted mine but the results are here, nice video

The piston layout is soo optimised lol, good job

maybe put a splash potion of harming to be thrown after the snowball

can you detonate the crystal with a harming 2 potion? might be able to do the last chunk of damage to the netherrite player with the splash aoe

I wonder how lethal a pointed dripstone launcher could be...

I’m hugely impressed by this. You explained everything clearly, and it’s a very nicely condensed design.

Thanks for reminding me about end crystals and bombs. I made a near perfect skulk and tnt minecart mine not too long ago, (activates in 1 tik, tnt minecarts determine explosive power [10 on each rail is enough to kill full blast prot 4 netherite with expolsion itself, but the launching factor should kill a player if a player used a totem of undying], 1 layer underground, directional detonation [bombs close to the player blow up first, which will create a crazy angle for the launch factor, which is hard to water mlg], imune to water logging [because of the near instant detonation {if water is heard, the bomb will explode in such a wide radious the water can't stop it}], impossible to defuse without commands [the previous rimming technique used to disarm previous models is now null, which was the only way still known to disarm these mines], near perfect safety system [will not blow up unless safety system is disengaged, and cannot be reactivated], fits in a 7x10 block area, not very expensive [accessable mid-game with creeper farm, with skulk sensors], divided mine [technically just 2 seperate mines, which have 2 sculk sensors each for near-seperate activation, which are connected to make one mine {this makes the mine extremely dangerous, for if one mine is getting disarmed in any way, the other goes off, and would need 4 people with perfect precision to disarm the entire bomb, tis why the bomb might as well be impossible to disarm. Hacking will also not work to disarm the bomb, nor being in creative mode. Only /kill @e[type=tnt_minecart] will work}], with only one downside [being activated through sculk sensors creates a problem, aka wool and sneaking]. Now that you showed me end crystals, theres extra space in the design, so the bomb will be even more powerfull. I'm doin a bunch more testing, since its still in beta, but when I officially have it narrowed to have no downsides, I may just share it with the world. Also, I have names for all the different types of mines, determined by how many seperate mines are connected, and how many sculk sensors there are. This mine is a 2x4, so the name is duotetrax, and its in beta 5, so Duotetrax-b5 is its official name. And yes, more sculk sensors and more bombs within the bombs could easily make this even harder to disarm, but this model is the most efficient and most dangerous you could make (for the time being). This mine was made with the perpose of being undefusable, highly destructive, efficient, well hidden, and player disintegration. In 2 weeks I'll make a video on the beta.

The most secretive and not-cruel one possible: a calibrated sculk sensor with the lectern on the walk sound page and a wool lens focusing it onto a single surface block directly above it (so you won’t accidentally blow yourself up while building it), connected to a dispenser that shoots an arrow at the crystal.

fun video and your shaders + FOV make me feel right at home :) you may know this already, but you can do /tick step 2 to step 1rt ahead in one command

amazing, i was going to do some work with land mines this week, but looks like i dont need too becouse this is already almost perfect. GJ

Cant wait to rig my entire server with landmines to cause over 50 deaths per day

Didnt need a tutorial. You explained quite well how that works. Great job. Btw, i had the idea to offset 2 of those traps by around 7 ticks each, to avoid end crystal deletion. That sure would be lethal.

Good song choice, I approve

for the issue of the crystal poking through the floor, you can place some snow and it should cover it and maybe help a little

theres also the case of players have totem of undying, which basically negates all possible 1 hit kill attempts.

Would a splash potion of harming work, maybe a lingering one that can both activate the explosion and then gets a zone of extra damage? I'm not sure if it would work but it comes to mind

Love the slimerancher background music. The wait for SR2 took so long and I didn't and still don't even have strong enough hardware to play it. It's so sad.

this is just sick honestly. I am impressed

The fake .png background in the thumbnail is great 😂

I definitely still think the sculk sensor tnt minecart is by far the most cost efficient and efficient overall, but end crystal bouncing bettys _are_ pretty funny

Squibs, have you tested if this design will work on Bedrock Edition?

dang, this guy's self esteem is almost as low as mine. respect, bro!

I like land mines that trigger a tnt canon at the end of the hallway.

Villagers have not yet signed the Geneva Convention, so landmines are not war crimes in Minecraft.

A good way to fix that lethality issue, would be replace the snow balls with lingering harm potions, right?

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING

Use the tnt Minecraft first if you are going to, this way the items don’t get destroyed because the less armoured players will die to the second explosion instead of the first

I think we’re all on a watchlist now

Don't forget - some people have totems of undying

Hey wanna see something explode? Everyone: yes

This is literally Bouncing Betty anti personell mine done in Minecraft :D Nice!

Beautiful graphics, what textures/shaders?

Cleverly destructive

Push more crystals together with a piston if that still works in newer versions and there you have a larger explosion from one thrown snowball/egg/arrow

Lets gooo! Minecradt congo edition!!!!

I want to see someone use this in the next life series grian make

Maybe a potion of harming being shot out as well might finish off the full armor player

You might consider firework rockets. You can cram seven firework stars into one rocket, and they don't destroy items on detonation. Not tested, but you might be able to use a firework to detonate your end crystal.

You can achieve pretty much the same with a sculk sensor, some powered rails and a couple of TNT minecarts. Quite fast too.

Good thing I have God Armor with every protection type, oh and I play on singleplayer. Great video though 👍

10:15 I don't know how it is on the java edition but on bedrock we can use pistons to push multiple end crystals into a block so perhaps you could do that?

my idea is slowwing players down and hitting them with several explosions at once. maybe near a door they get blown up while opening

ngl. this seems like something doc would do.

say the line, Thimblejak!

Underrated

Another day another high explosive.

Cool design!

What if the tnt was above ground and completely exposed (as in you step on the plate and it drops on your face)???

I think after detonation, another dispenser (around or in the contraption) can throw a potion of insta damage to fully kill the player with full prot 4, and its also better solution than a second explosion bc it will not destroy the items. But still u made a good video

maybe it's possible to load two end crystals instead of one?

I would LOVE to see a tutorial for this, I'm going to ruin my friend's Minecraft server

I would love not to have to squint to watch this video because of the goddamn raytraced Sun in my eyes

3:42 in vedrock you can detonate 500 at the same time without any crystals desapearing

I solved the totem issue by making TNT minecarts follow the player up into the sky, blowing them straight down before they can react.

why not just use the classic tnt-sand-pressure plate landmine? solves all of these and can be easily adapted to sculk

well i must watch this video til the *end*

i’m not sure if it’s possible, but there’s a mechanic that many crystal pvp players use called “double taps” i recommend watching theo404’s video about it, but if you could pull it off using red stone you would be able to instantly kill the player even if they were wearing a totem, it would just need to do enough damage in the first place tho

The cool thing about this type of mine is that it can be reloaded.

Really nice Video! I also noticed your rainbow XP bar. Looks really nice, does anyone know where to get my hands on it?

I prefer the minecart tnt than the end crystal since the end crystal one is very expensive compared to the tnt minecart one

My man just made a Bouncing Betty

Amazing video

Finally i can do my warcrimes in Minecraft and don't have to resort to real life

When will the sequel comes out man, i need it!!!

What mod do you use to clip through blocks in creative? I've been looking for a while but haven't found it.

5:05 THE WHAT

instead of a second explosion you could prob use a harming potion shot from the dispenser instead of a snowball ? idk just throwing ideas out there

In bedrock edition you can stack end crystals on top of each other, but it doesn't seem to add much more explosion

Very nice.

A few lingering harm 2 + poison or some deeply buried (timed) fireworks could definitely finish the job.

v cool design but i swear it would be much easier with a simple double piston extender that moves a block of the floor up, and mines havbe to be rlly simple to be practically effective

5:06 brooo head did he say

pulse dispenser twice with splash pot of harming

but isnt it possible to use the cheaper tnt minecart oh nvm so like its a more efficient landmine

what about damage potions? you can use as many as you want of them to deal damage and they won't delete any items. maybe you can throw a damage potion just after the explostion and it will make sure to finish the killing without the risk of deleting items.

Would it be possible to 0-tick the pistons ? (Even if it would make everything way more complicated)

what shaders do you use? It looks so nice

Why not then put 2 end crystals in the same spot I've seen it before I just don't know if I'll work in this setup

what shaders/resourcepacks are those your game is beautiful

Hey, not sure if your still checking comments. But what Shaders ar should using?

Would it be possible to chain two of these (like one on the ceiling and one in the wall) to try and get through a totem?

got banned on an smp for putting a charged creeper in the owner's house im trying to appeal the ban and if i do get unbanned i know what im doing next in their house

These shaders are ridiculous. Bro got reflective sand like where they make that at?

what about stacked minecarts?

Imagine filling 2b2t with these

shulk next to TNT carts?

a proxy mine using sculk sensors is waaaaay less noticable and can be a insta kill

What about fireworks?

This video would be bearable to watch if you weren’t playing Stall in the background.

What is this shader you used? I really can't find name of this :(

Ah yes, the end mines
