The Insane Science of Minecraft's Ultimate Oneshot Weapon 

Yea. I hate when events like these cater to specfic playstyles because they are better for content. You cant just build an unpenetratable fort because of the border. Border closing is so silly because people are good a pvp get a massive advantage while people who are more passive and strategic lose by having less area to work with.

Dum dum kids that only care about what they want and aren't professional do that, that means no one should work with them ever again.

Gotta love it, the game creator was a pvp’er himself if i remember correctly and he didn’t want the builders to be op, so they got essentially nerfed into hell, as they were a team of builders, being told they couldn’t build, against a team of pvpers, complete waste of time imo, why hire an engineer to fight with a gladiator if you’re just gonna take his tools.

Yeah meanwhile blue did an even less interactive strategy and got no complaints.

Makes me think of that time my friends made a similar event and convinced me to play too but then about an hour in I realized there was a plugin that blacklisted every single redstone component. I quit immediatly after that, if you take away the only thing I'm good at then why even invite me.

You don't know if he actually does

More likely he would be designing some weapon to hit a target anywhere on earth without warning and with incredible devastation

Or for calculating how many stacks of items you need to build a base before you place the first block.

Arrows don't .move()

@@Zack_Taylor yeah I get that

The arrow knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the arrow from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the arrow is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the arrow must also know where it was. The arrow guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the arrow has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

It's like batman. With arbitrary prep time this guy beats anything

What is cruel about orbital bombardment with conventional weapons of strategic targets without any civilians nearby?

​@jannikheidemann3805 I'm pretty sure this would count as a shrapnel bomb no?

Just like many weapons in real life

More like "anything but full netherite enchanted armor instakill" to "100% instakill"

possibly the software they're using doesn't have all the ingame colours?(though true they still could've arranged it to the ones the had such as blue for diamond instead of netherite)

The destination needs to be loaded for pearl cannons to actually work. Otherwise the ender pearl just hangs there waiting for the chunk to be loaded before teleporting you

@@user-nm4kq5kw4f Technically you could use it as a Fast Travel to the world spawn, which is always loaded. Or to travel between two built locations, where you can build a chunk loader.

​@@CommentPositionInformer at that point you have an overcomplicated (but admittedly more secure) Enderpearl Stasis Chamber

@@fisch37 I'd argue it's also more practical. (To use, not to build) An Ender pearl stasis chamber you need to remember to reload before you leave. And if you forget or the pearl despawns? You're screwed. But not the cannon. The cannon you reload on-site. So it's an on-demand service, as opposed to requiring foresight or preparation.

It’s been done. My server uses it even.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any factions server that runs 1.9+

Lol my server actually uses these.

You still need to keep in mind travel distance and alignment, you should probably add an extra 20 or so in there to make sure whatever you shoot will die regardless of distance. Do I know how to do any of that? No. But I can tell ya that it's what you gotta do

The problem with that is that in the first tick, the arrow would move to some unloaded chunks in the midpoint between the target and the cannon, so they wouldn't arrive in the second tick.

What about delaying the arrow one tick? is that even possible? so we dont need half of velocity just dif trigger timings for tnt and arrow

Well then we can only hope that quantum physics call for arrows first, then tnt.

I had a simaler idea, but could you send a singular piece of tnt paired with the arrow to detonate, triggering the snow effect on the arrow at the correct point before the tnt accelerator package arrives after the pair-tnt has stopped the arrow?

@@vex3488that’s exactly what i was thinking!! i don’t think it’d work tho based on how the orbital cannon works through unloaded chunks

@@Stab.a_Saurus i knew it...!

Could it be possible to stack 3 or more arrow barrages to account for TAS levels of totem-swapping?

yeet

Arrows specifically do not obey the principles we established with entities that use the move method, arrows will in fact raycast from point to point directly and collide with things on that path.

@@cubicmetre it's funny how we got to this point considering the history of the cannon but here's an idea instead of using an arrow, dripstone because dripstone can be dropped on peoples heads and does insane damage if it hits it'd be hard but also hilarious to impale someone from hundreds of thousands of blocks away

@@heavygaming1167 unfortunately, dripstone damage is capped at 40 which equates to 3.5 hearts in full prot 4 netherrite. Anvils also work the same way

i dont think so because im pretty sure you need a player in a certain spot to create lazy and dead chunks

I'm pretty sure he said the nether was disabled, meaning they also couldn't go load it

idont think it would because the canon is unloaded and chunkloaders dont work with the nether disaibled

there is no way to load the cannon when its outside the border, the nether portals in the nether just wont connect

@@packediceisthebestminecraf9007 oh! I might have missed that part。 ty

It's a free and safe way to deplete the enemy's totems

@@moo3oo3oo3 I like your definition of free lol

@zwatotem initial time and resource investment but tnt is dupedafter that

@@moo3oo3oo3what about the arrows?

he's shown it off in more detail in previous videos

the schematic and world download is in one of his previous videos on the orbital strike cannon.

I mean, technically yes, they certainly won't survive

He shit himself so hard he fell into the void literally a minute later

he is probably worried about a possible second strike

This

You can, but that will need unachievable precision, also you’ll need to shoot thousands of tnt to just stop the arrow, which is laggy

For that to work, you'd need the TNT payload to stop an exact distance ahead of the movement vector of the arrow. If you are off even a little bit, the arrow will end up with enough momentum to throw it in wildly wrong directions instead of the direction you want it to go. This means you need incredible accuracy over extreme distances with your TNT cannon. Like sub micron accuracy. Furthermore, you need the TNT to arrive 1 tick before the arrow in order to give the TNT time to detonate. Which is impossible for the way the machine currently works. You'd need to build a second machine for the arrows and some fancy trigonometry to ensure both the TNT and the arrow end up in the right place.

@@harmenkoster7451well trigonometry isn’t really an issue lol

@@palmberry5576 The problem is that the trigonometry might not have a valid solution since the machine can only move entities by discrete steps as opposed to a smooth continuum.

Its a customized pack from Vanilla tweaks

It would also require two chunks being loaded for the cannon to work meaning it's very unreliable too

I don't really agree with using MC content for teaching maths explicitly as the content tends to focus more on knowledge of the game than knowledge of mathematical concepts.

A damage frame is relatively short compared to the human reflex, you were likely damaged by multiple tnt carts over many damage frames.

@@cubicmetre WAIT, they might be onto something! Minecart TNTs deal damage proportional to their velocity (From the Wiki: "The explosion has a base power of 4, the same as regular TNT, but the game also adds a random bonus value up to 1.5 times velocity, but no higher than 7.5. This means that with a speed of 5 or higher the power is a random value between 4 and 11.5. When triggered by an activator rail or by damage, the bonus value is calculated using the horizontal velocity of the minecart. When hit by a flaming arrow the velocity of the arrow is used instead. When triggered by fall damage, the fall distance divided by 10 is used.") Given a full netherite can already technically be killed by a single perfectly targeted TNT, the increased blast power from using TNT minecarts instead might help with adding some additional margin for error on the targeting!

reading the code

Its gonna be PHD math shit here

you could use something like this to launch a charged creeper to somebody hundreds of blocks away
