How to Build the Ultimate Mining Machine 

"Problem #1: bore too big. The solution: make the bore smaller." That is some serious genius energy right there

NGL the fact that it is made from stone bricks made it looks friendly AF, from "ah this is a tech mc skill level build" to "hey I think I can build this"

Some very cool modifications to this! It’ll be much easier to build this in the future 😂

should use diamond blocks instead of redstone blocks as items for the tnt conveyor, makes the price more balanced for hardcore players

feel so bad for the guy who crafted all those cakes cause he thought it had to be a specific item, rest his soul lmao

I like how the thumbnail implies that Saxton Hale is an engineer who does solely Australia-shaped projects

this is starting to look like a feasible survival build now, and that is absolutely terrifying.

And then he said "This is best design for the InfiniBore for NOW". Truly Cinema

5:16 changes 1 tick and switches it to being the strongest tnt cannon a 2016 factions player would have ever seen

12:14 Two mods that can help with the render distance showing the entire perimeter are Distant Horizons and Nvidium. Distant Horizons needs to generate LODs for each chunk and works on all hardware. Nvidium renders the chunks as-is, but requires an Nvidia GPU and may end up slower at render distances > 128. For my private server, I loaded the map up in single-player, generated medium/high-quality Distance Horizons LODs for everything, and included that ~300MB file alongside my modpack so the other players would start off with a semi-accurate map of the world.

It takes knowledge to create something like this, but it takes real understanding to explain it this well. Really impressive.

I will say that it seems WILD to me that someone building the previous design didnt try to take the time to understand it well enough to know where concrete and glass could just be swapped for mundane material in survival

You've made this so much more approachable. If DocM doesn't make one of these in the next hermitcraft series I'll be surprised xD

BABE WAKE UP CUBICMETER JUST MADE ANOTHER TNT LAUNCHER

I tested in 1.20.4, I can confirm that this is working fine :) Small tutorial to help other people... This machine uses very complex mechanics, and as such, require very specific conditions to work properly. I'll try to give an overview of what's required. First, you have to know that there are 2 game settings that you can adjusts, which can be confusing, the "Simulation distance" and "Render distance". The simulation distance is what will dictate how far you need to be from the machine when it's running. This is what will be used by Minecraft to determine which chunks are entity processing (i.e. normal chunks around the players where every aspect of the game is updated), and which chunks are block processing (redstone is updated, but not entities, a.k.a. lazy cunks). In the test world, there is one red pad above each machines, and there is one green pad located 16 chunks from the machine (look on the grass field, behind the machine, i.e. not in the "shooting" direction, but the other direction!). All those pads are aligned to cover the area of one whole chunk. Those pads are mainly for reference, a "guide" used when building the machine or when operating the machine. When operating the machine, the red pad must be in lazy chunk (which include the front of the machine), while the main bulk of the machine must be in entity processing chunk. For this condition to be easily set, this is why there is a green pad (as a reference). So, there is the green pad, where the player must stand during the whole operation of the machine, and there are 16 chunks in between the green and the red pad. So, for the red pad to be in lazy chunk when the player is standing on the green pad, you MUST set "simulation distance" to 16 (in the video settings). Note that if it's more convenient, if you prefer to use a different simulation distance (for example, if you are on a server with a limited simulation distance), then you will need to adjust the standing position while operating the machine (adjust the green pad location accordingly). In the test world, the red and green pads are set 17 chunks appart (i.e. red pad, 16 "in-between" chunks, green pad), so it is made with simulation distance of 16 in mind. When you stand on the green pad, the chunk you are in, along with all chunks in a square up to 16 chunks away from the player, are "normal" entity processing chunks, and all chunks that are exactly one more chunk outside this bounding area are lazy chunk (where the red pad need to be). I know, this can be confusing, but as I said, this is complex Minecraft mechanics for uninitiated players. (Edited): As for the "render distance", you should also set it to 16 in this case (same as simulation distance). I originally taught that it didn't matter, but if it's higher, the chunks containing the stone you want to phase the TNT through will be loaded (to be rendered, even though no processing occurs past the lazy chunks). In this case, when Minecraft check the trajectory of the TNT, it sees that there's a wall, so the TNT does not phase through (all TNT ends up exploding at the front of the wall). In any case, the render distance is lower than simulation distance, it has higher priority (if you set simulation distance to 16, and render distance to 12, the effective simulation distance will be capped to 12). To activate the machine, cubicmeter pretty much sums it up. As a starting point, you need to go to the console where there's a sign named "Operation Duration". That is the number of "run" the machine is configured to do. Bellow this sign there are 2 droppers. Just right-click on the bottom dropper, and move some redstone dust to the top dropper. Note that you should keep the total number of redstone across both droppers to 9 stacks (i.e. just move the right amount of redstone dust from bottom dropper to top dropper, returning the rest to the bottom dropper). The indicator on the left (the 3x3 redstone lamp) will start flashing as soon as the bottom dropper is not full. When the machine finish, it will move the redstone you put in the top dropper to the bottom dropper (hence why you must move the dust from bottom dropper to the top dropper, leaving room in bottom dropper for it to come back when the machine terminate). The number of dust you move to above dropper (the operation time) is just the number of "runs" to execute. So, if the Infinibore is set to dig 10 layer deep of TNT, and you put 3 redstone dust in top dropper, then the machine will dig 10 layer, then run again and dig 10 more layer, and again one last time, digging a total of 30 layers deep. Once you moved redstone dust in top dropper, you can prime the bore (by right-clicking the note block). The prime bore lamp will turn on. With your simulation distance set appropriately (16 in the test world), go to on the green pad and STAY THERE. The machine will not start until you go to the green pad. The machine "knows" when to start (when the front of it is in lazy chunk) using a simple entity processing detection mechanism. The minecart rattling at the front of the machine, it's an entity. And it is constantly pressing on a golden pressure plate. The plate is just a "stopper" that stops the machine until you go far enough. When you go on the green pad, the minecart (which is an entity) now ends up in lazy chunk, and Minecraft stops prossessing it. The pressure plate, a redstone component, still get processed. So the result is that this plate stops getting pressed. Redstone signal stops getting generated from this plate, and the machine detect this (this remove this "stopper", and the machine start). In this world, the bottom machine is burried underground. It's not easy to see the progress. If you test with the top bore, then you will see at a distance the bore progress (easier if you have optifine or NoFog mod and turn the fog off). You can also monitor the game performance (by pressing F3 + 2). On the bottom right there is the TPS meter. While the machine is preparing the TNT, there is minimal lag. While the machine is shooting it though there will be significant lag (like 1 second lag spike every other second) for a few minutes (the duration depend on the machine settings, i.e. how deep you are boring). Then, when the lag eventually ends, that is a good indication the bore is completed. You can always tap a wire to the 3x3 indicator and bring it to the green pad if you want :-)

12:11 If you have an Nvidia GTX 1630 GPU or higher then you definitely should install Nvidium as well. The mesh shaders technology it uses is absolutely insane in the aspect of performance. It massively boosts the FPS with high render distance on supported GPUs.

12:30 If you use the Distant Horizons mod you should be able to have a render distance of thousands of chunks with almost no visual difference to what you're currently doing.

If there's ever a war on Hermitcraft, Doc will be an absolute menace now that he has access to this technology!!

the fact this is understandable is a testament to your insanely good job, i dont ever plan to make something like this but going from quantum physics TNT to now its all built on what came before

So basically ultimate cannon

thx for this design! my mates on my mc server wont be happy when they see a hole through their base.

He really invented australia for that thumbnail. What a legend.

incredible work at improving the design!!! looks much more feasible for people to make and i could see this becoming a common construction!!!

absolutely LOVE these canon videos!!!!

The development you've done on these crazy TNT devices has been my favorite Technical Minecraft project I've ever followed. I'm looking forward to seeing more

This is insane! With that you are definitely one of the top contributors to technical Minecraft!

Awesome work ! It's incredible how you improved this technology over time !

I absolutely love ur vids, keep it going! ❤

Bro I adore these types of videos. Lots of love my guy, please don’t let anyone stop you from your dream because we will support you. Lots of love from Australia ❤

first if all: great respect sb for building it as is in survival second: great respect cubicmetre for finally letting casuals like me build it

Wow this is awesome. I just finished using the previous design on my single player world and built my first netherite beacon. I'll have to use this version in the overworld. Can't thank you enough for all the work you put in.

We used a similar tech 6-7 years ago to warp tnt through chunks through 1 tick nukeing on factions just on a much smaller scale but had the same requirements sending tnt into the unloaded chunk seeing this pop up really brought me back appreciate that

This is the greatest bore ever to be made. amazing job

Another wonderful redstone machine using destruction mechanics

You're sending tnt through blocks?! So could you blow an area 1000 blocks away and no one would know how it happened and where it came from? What kind of art could you make with this? Man-made caves? Can you adjust it to make an apple shape but 3D?

next video: We used redstone to force minecraft to load any structure we want into ungenerated chunks

I remeber when you started this tnt journey with canons and thought that this is kind of boring because it was already done but it developed into something realy amazing

Honestly incredible that not only is are you able to apply engineering to minecraft to get this precise of results, but that you applied engineering to minecraft! XD I love the channel, keep up the good work!

Can everyone just acknowledge that is mad is grinding for no goal at all. Respect.

Wow the fact you made this more survival friendly is just mind breakingly cool

Man, JKM took digging a hole for fun to the next level xD

Gotta love how the man makes the most efficient mining machine ever conceived and halfway through the video goes "nah fuck that thing, make it better"

Hey Cubic, amazing video as always. I don't know what version Wavetech is using, and I don't know if it necessarily works with the mods you guys use, but there is a mod called "Distant Horizons" on Modrinth and Curseforge. It's a LoD mod which essentially allows you to see hundreds or thousands of chunks. If it works with Wavetech, then it would be super cool to see the perimeters etc. in all their glory.

You are just great, mr. genius! Love ur videos!❤

10/10 video, biggest breakthrough of the year

You really are the Saxton Hale of minecraft engineering, especially after you managed to do the Australia shaped infinibore. I also wonder if it is possible to make an Australia shaped nuclear blast. Probably not without a very wacky encoder, but I don't know much about them, so idk, maybe it is possible

You know this guy could earn six figures automating a microwave oven factory somewhere or something

nice, now we have survival-friendly quantum missiles

Letsgo!! Finally we get to see such a great machine from cubicmetre again.

"We relied on technology known as Eagler" got me good

Best timing just finished with my old tunnel bore!

tbh i love what can be achieved if people work together in minecraft

Imagine being a Piglin in the nether and just hearing dozens of explosions approaching like carpet bombs in a war, as your home is systematically erased from existence from a source you can't even see.

Awesome design!

been way too long since a tech vid... welcome back

Nice Australia map in the thumbnail

Imagine an underground base where you use this machine to mine areas for new rooms, just every time phasing TNT through your base into further chunks. Sounds very scary.

If you want smooth walls, what settings would you recommend? The more TNT and the tighter packed, the less likely it is to get unexploded wall blocks, but at some point there’s diminsihing returns

This feels like a 8:00am class but it looks cooler

Finally a world download to test it without spending ages setting shit up! Thanks!

Cubicmetre - creates the best tunnel bore ever and is loved by the community Me - wonders how the redstone can power the piston to make it more and is proud of my iron door system which uses 2 pressure plates and 1 iron door and that's it

this is awesome, your job is amazing

insanity, madness, pushing the bounderies oncemore.

you are a technical redstoner except 10 fold understanding mechanics like this is crazy

Yes, I hope it will work with create aeronautics when released :3

Ah yes, mans ever burning desire to dig holes, splendid.

THIS IS A INSANE INVENTION

Hi, Iam trying to "convert" it into some kind of Perimeter maker by making it long and high enough but I cant make the vertical ammount more than 10(i need 20) using the lectern is there any way to make it more or multiply it? or should I build two on top of each other? btw the infinibore is crazy and amazing

which are the macine setting when u did the australia hole? (especially the higth)

This was good but can you make like a step-by-step tutorial on it because this doesn't really tell me how to build it. Great work on the design though! You're like the only youtuber I can rely on to make ultra-efficient farms :)

Hello cubic, Do you have the Litematica schematics for download? I only see the world download. Regards, Eric

SB has built so many farms that he has become an expert himself

ı apericiate your hard work and redstone engineering.

as someone that remembers watching basic tnt canons back in the day and thinking it was peak minecraft, this feals surreal

this is the coolest thing i’ve see in minecraft

i will train a speedrun of building this in a new world and suprise my casual friends in the next project

Question regarding your precision nuke machine: I saw someone comment on the video you made about it something like "I have another idea. You need to make a “chunk ban orbital strike”", would it be possible to throw an entity with an adapted version of the cannon (ideally in a minecart so it doesn't die of fall damage)? Something like a pigman carrying a chunk ban shulker in a minecart/boat that arrive at destination. Less destructive for the game but far more dangerous for the players. The only thing I'm not sure is how do you make sure that neither the boat/minecart get destroyed or the pigman die. Unfortunately I haven't done redstone in forever so I'm not totally sure how you would do this

istg if they keep finding ways to improve the teleporting booms ill cry

imagine being a piglin minding ur own life when suddenly an alien just exploit your land down into a literal void

"...we have fence gates that can open and close..." Some serious redstone here

Ohhohohohohoho yes orbital cannon upgrade, exactly when I was thinking about building one of those

The brainstorming process behind this project fascinates me. I just started playing minecraft a couple of months ago and automating stuff pleases my lazy self quite a lot. My friend hosts a paper server for us to play on, updated to the most recent version. What would stop this design from working on such a server?

*sniff*... its beautiful. Now I just have to determine if this is at all reasonable to build for a first nether perimeter.

Honestly while I only understand about 85% of the stuff he explains, it's still visually interesting.

Are you working on any method of item collection for operation where 'keep items' is on? Seeing an item sweeper capable of picking stuff up would be really cool, or maybe a flying machine allay dock that could sweep through and use them to pick up stuff

A possible application of this would be demolishing some of the end islands so the end gateway spawns farther out. The gateway will spawn at the nearest piece of solid land.

New cubic meter video YAY

Is it possible to build a 3D infinite wall set to a one block range to create the inverse?

This marks the occasion... Cobblestone generators are the past Infinibore is the FUTURE! Your understanding of Redstone and Minecraft mechanics is an inspiration. Thank you for the video!

I only wonder when we'll be able to make a full perimiter with this crazy technology

The saxton hale skin has come full circle!

Planning to build this in survival. I am wondering, is this directional? Or any other additional information on placement other than chunk aligning the machine?

There are Minecraft players and then there's this guy... outstanding work!

This makes as much sense as british slang to me, but it is so much more impressive, my mind could never finish a project like this.

This guy has completely revolutionized the Minecraft world. I don’t think it’s even really set in for him just how much of an impact he has just made. Many SciCrafters have done some pretty cool things but he is the only one who has done it 100% correct. Many great things to come in the world of Minecraft gameplay, and his designs are going to play a pivotal role in the years to come.

4:51 this reminds me that meme «if you're homeless, just buy a house, huh?» The most genius solution ever LMAO

Honestly thought the thumbnail was a map of Australia

Question. How could I safely use the infinibore on a server with automatically varying simulation distance? Context: the server I play on has poor hardware, so it's got a mod installed that dynamically changes chunk-tick, render and simulation distance based on the number of players online. The smallest simulation distance is 3 (with about 6-7 people) and largest is 8 (1-2 people). Would a chunk loader work instead of a player? Just seems like it'd be more reliable, seeing as the distance they load is smaller than the variation range. Yeah, I'd need multiple (assuming they work), but that's not much of an issue.

Bru it’s so op, this could be your all terrain resources collector to automatically collect if you modify it.

With reasonably adjusted settings, is there anything stopping this version of the infinibore from being used to create a relatively small perimeter?
