Minecraft 1.20 REVOLUTIONIZES Anti-Elytra Technology 

The evolution of Minecraft videos: 2013: How to build a rollercoaster! 2024: How to build anti-air flak cannons!

If you see, anti-elytra technology is something really important, there isnt much you can do about elytras in this game. Nice job mate.

I feel like there has to be a way to use sculk sensors to triangulate a player's position and basically do guided attacks. Maybe some kind of smart TNT cannon combined with sculk sensor detection could be used to reliably hit players, but I feel like any redstone computation needed to do the actual math to make that work would be so complicated and slow that it wouldn't be practical

Not to mention calibrated sculk sensors can be hard coded to only detect elytra passing

See weird stuff floating in the sky, fly near it to check it out, hear an explosion ahead of you, go "huh that was odd" realize the contraption does nothing, fly past it.

I wonder, if given enough time and practice, one could learn to fly through the holes in the circles and avoid the mechanisms

minecraft literally now has factories, anti air technology, artillery, tanks and planes.

A firework crossbow can manually detonate these bombs, they could only serve real purpose when camouflagued in mountains or jungle trees but that would be too specific and ineffective.

We’ve done it lads. We now have military grade anti-aircraft weapons in Minecraft. We’re leaving the Stone Age and sprinting to the modern era.

waterlogging the sculk sensor will also make it undetectable so victims wouldn't know what triggered the trap

I don't know how, but it's the third time you upload a video with a working contraption a day after I come up with an idea of pretty much the same thing. However, everytime you do it much better than me... Anyway, good job

What'd be impressive is just a whole wall of these and those red circles. It just looks like a giant shield to me

great design, but what if the elytra-player just slow down just closer enough to trigger the calibrated sculk sensor ? There should be another TNT nuke right next to the calibrated sculk sensor

This is unrelated but the title makes me think that a mining fatigue like effect on elytras can actually be really good for the game, something with the same debuff as mining fatigue but with the same radius as a beacon. It can set up isolated areas in the world where elytras are rendered useless and therefore the player is forced to either go around it or do whatever challenge there is in that area. It may also be great in servers where you want a base that's only accessible through walking to showcase build sight lines. For pvp this can be very interesting since it can restrict access to the elytra and force the player to finally use their chestplates for once.

I swear to god the minecraft community one day is gonna discover tech to make 100% accurate arrow railgun AA batteries

figured this video was coming!! big improvement with the upgraded calibrated sensor range :)

Using elytra in combat was always so rewarding I’ve gotta get back into it

Didn’t expect this to be a legitimately viable strategy good job

What about launching tnt... kinda like serface to air tnt? That sounds really cool. Basically make a flak cloud using skulk sensors.

some flaws are the gaps in the circles, but odds of someone making it through without that being highlighted is slim. But what happens if someone slows down or stops short of the tnt?

Very impressive!!

this is a cutting-edge idea I haven't seen before.

This protects from Elytras. Ghast cannons protect against flying machines. Landmines protect the ground. And of course, spamming F3+A will detect underground players. WE NOW HAVE FULL BASE PROTECTION WITH JUST 2 PLAYERS REQUIRED!!!

Quite impressive!

Great work!

you gotta be my favourite minecraft youtuber, really like your videos!

I wasn't aware there was anti elytra tech in-game now. I gotta know more!

u can do an iron dome with this, only problem, is countered by firework crossbows (similar of how flares and chaff work on aircraft)

calibrated skulk sensor is still omni-directional and as such just a proximity sensor what we need next is probably a directional skulk sensor, whose detection volume is a narrow but long beam

Malorem if possible, mind making a Redstone tank? Well I'd suggest making the box tank which is the French ww1 tank Saint Chamond or the German ww1 tank the A7V

Now, behold. The flying over y:320 tactic. Still is a useful technology to defend a tight place like a big cave entrance.

These would be easily disarmed... Just do a perpendicular flyby of the sensor ends to set them off, then flu throythe new holes in the grid.

so aor defenses, orbital canons , faction canons, chunk activation based traps, wireless redstone, teleporting arrows... cantwait for minecraft: warfare edition

keep it up man

Bros out here making anti air weapon in minecraft 😂😂😂

You should find a way to make a reloading system, so they're not single use and can take out multiple elytra users

Well, that's useful. Thanks.

Anti-Air mines, Bluetooth, sand based teleportation, arrow frag grenades. Minecraft is truly reaching limitless possibilities

Played too much clash of clans now the air mines are in Minecraft..

I like to use the calibrated sculk sensor (signal strenght of one which is movement) to determine motion detection at a given range. It is useful for security for any people trying to sneak up into your base, making you aware of their presence.

HES BACK

Lol I instantly thought of you when I heard about these

The problem will be that you can only build them up to 320 heights, and the elytra can fly infinitely high, which is why it is enough to fly high enough

"Oh cool what are these things?" *flies and lands next to sensor. Other side blows up*

Ive long wanted a Minecraft server that offered magic and subclasses, and like one of the Mage spells would be Area Denial. Stuff like rings of protection, wards, AOE's, etc. One of them would definitely be air restriction

you could just fly along the edge of the perimeter and that would set off all the charges. neat idea tho

Wow, nice machine.

Like that weird Pinocchio once said: "I love it!"

In 2025: Hey guys, I made an integrated air defense system in Minecraft.

Seems we need "wild weasel" in minecraft too...? Like Bow as Anti-Radiation Missile

I mean thats neat but also really easy to avoid

Bro you need a 2 part system, heavy flak air mines (your example here) and light flak firework launchers with max power and diff durations so you can cover a massive area with said flak, and water direction based system to cover diagonally (not effective but its the best and probably only option) so you can cover a build in light flak guns and ghast anti flight machines artilleries and your air mine system to maximize effectiveness

Bro nice tech

**Intense flying over the build limit noises**

Idk this is probs only usable for megabases (im envisoning some kind of honeycomb tunnel wall if you dont know the right one you get blown up), but at that point killing them once would do little to stop them from griefing you when they come back so pretty useless (well it might be good if you shoot the tnt upwards and put the trap in the ground then its a pretty good trap for random travellers) One way the trap should be changed is detecting if someone comes from the wrong side (or goes sideways aka triggers an adjacent sensor to the side that would disarm the trap)

You could cover it with fighter jets and have a fighter fleet protect your base!

Those modules could be made even better with wireless redstone available in create mod

if you are getting chased by other players using elytra, you can practically usee these passive traps as offensive weapons by simply going onto the other side (tnt side first) and then activate the skulk. If timed right, you will fly past the explosions whislt the opps get bombarded (if given enough distance from u)

Zakviel's anti-air defense worked even before that, but was more cumbersome

the biggest downside is that they only work once, though they don't seem that expensive to restoke if you have a gun powder farm and a iron farm, not exactly hard farms to make

Mojang 2016: We want to fix combat The state of Minecraft in 2024: Totems, Elytras, Netherite... Crystal PVP

Now i wait for the the elytra chaff tech

If you were tech savvy enough with redstone, you could also make a kill zone that crashes the game of anyone who sets off the system, meaning that they cant avoid the effects, and are forced to remain grounded.

wait so if I see this kind of structure I can just fly in slowly and then immediately fly out triggering the sensor but not getting blown up?

After reading the title I had the image of someone using an elytra getting obliterated by a flak cannon

Bro I remember being excited about the fact I could dig another 60 blocks in like beta. Now I am watching a tutorial for AA mines.

Wow eso es asombroso!

Finally, a flak canon!

Bruv is talking like this is some serious warfare advancement, and I'm all in for it

Me: Flies above build limit

they added flight duration three again? let's go

Babe wake up, anti-air mines are in vanilla minecraft

It is just from that single direction though, wonder if there can be one for any direction

mojang added sculk senors but minecraft player really made a working tnt anti air missiles💀

Ah yes anti air weapons a find addition to my redstone base that I totally would build in the next couple decade

This is all well and good until you realize they'd be a pain to make without an elytra to get up to them

Wow , I was surprised when saw that , but I have a question. What if I fly not under AAD?

then i suppose you could hard code it into only detecting elytras. and also with the remote control cat thing that you have made a video on you could make a remote switch for it

if someone flies slow enough or is curious and lands on the tip, they'll just watch the explosion on the other tip , it needs to explode MORE

say hello to phantoms

havent played this game in a few yrs and now mojang is pioneering echolocation technology

This is really when the face of warfare changed forever

Grian: * spams rockets in opposite direction*

What if you use a sensor that detects the Elytra and fires arrows/tnts from multiple spots all at once, so even if the target moves you have a good chance of hitting them if they are still in the area of the cannon

recreated submarine mines of the 50s

Build Limit Go Brrrr

Forget about anti-air flak cannons, this is an airmine, imagine a 1000x1000 area with landmines and airmines.

I guess that some people tend to fly without looking at where they are going.

How do you deal with someone flying diagonally past this

This is pretty interesting and could have a potential, but, because of the whole delay mechanism thing, it is... 1. Strictly directional; 2. Pretty unreliable, as you're assuming the player is going full ahead with elytra; 3. Probably really inconsistent; 4. If somebody knows how it works, it's really easy to bait it into exploding and continue on with your day; 5. And the detection range still isn't a large enough of a radius to create an ''unassuming'' looking trap like that, unless it's concealed in a decent looking exterior so that it looks like a base/afk platform or something else. Even then you'll need a lot of them, which is a lot of building and decorating, for a one time use trap that would require near full rebuilding once it's gone off, _if it gets the target to begin with._ Interesting tech, but I don't think it'll have much of a practical use. Maybe it could work if someone's flying in a tight space, where fully concealing it is easy and somebody will for sure be caught in its blast radius with basically no escape, but definitely not in open air.

Using it with command blocks will be wild

Anti Air Technology is beautiful

TNT should be placed on the track as well in case they just land on the stick

I never thought anti elytra tech was a thing

I think it would become ineffective if players trigger the sensor first and not actually going to the explosion radius

bro's recreating the iron dome in minecraft

The radar dodging mission in ace combat seven

Couldn't these systems activate if a Phantom spawns nearby?

Zahara pointed to a series in recent

these only really work if the Elytra player is flying straight ahead and never decides to deviate their path yes, they could potentially set off another trap trying to pivot up, down, left or right, but all they'd have to do is just... find where the array starts and ends, then fly around it. hypothetically if it were a box, then honestly, it's just a war of attrition and all they'd need to do is just fly up to build limit and go around that way, as it's highly unlikely a player would have the patience to set up an array that expansive on the Y axis that high without cheating, assuming its expansive enough on the X axis to encourage going around it from above
