      @Psynthex 2 years ago +27

      The purpose of a button obviously is for them to complete their task by sending a short period of Redstone before turning off. Knowing just this much can maybe answer as to why the Stone button is better at cycling...shorter cooldown. Other than that, I'm not sure.

    • @Rippertear
      @Rippertear 2 years ago +21

      Maybe because stone is stiffer than wood? If you push a stone, it will bend less, and it will spring back very quickly, but if you push wood, it will bend more and will take longer to spring back. Since the button clearly springs back of its own accord, and it's only made of wood or stone respectively, it mush have a spring made of wood or stone inside.

  • @atotaldummy

    Fun fact here:
    The button recipe used to be SOMEHOW WORSE in beta minecraft
    Instead of crafting buttons with only one stone block, you would need 2 stone vertically to craft ONE
    Not only that but the slabs also had a terrible recipe. You would need to use 3 planks to craft 3 slabs, it was pure madness

  • @leastsanemokoufan
    @leastsanemokoufan 2 years ago +417

    All of the 85.33 are actually pebbles. 84.33 pebbles are compiled, converted into one piece of redstone, and then combined with the remaining pebble to create the same pebble but with redstone capability, also known as a button.

    • @midstruck4730
      @midstruck4730 2 years ago +34

      So with this logic, redstone is just a more compressed version of stone? Or maybe redstone is crushed and purified stone? The lore deepens...

    • @EZX280

  • @HeyPixels
    @HeyPixels Year ago +31

    I think that
    1) they should add a “woodcutter” just like the stonecutter
    2) when on the crafting table, it would give the same amount like now because Steve has to chisel the stone/wood and lose some of it (does not apply to stairs, both should be 6), like while on the crafting table one plank/stone is one button, on the cutter it would be a stack or smth

  • @S3b4P
    @S3b4P 2 years ago +640

    My theory is that, as visually represented in the game, the bamboo planks are actually dry bamboo as opposed to the green one from the block of bamboo, so it has lost the mass from the water it contained, and also since bamboo is hollow, to make a plank you'd need to fill in the gaps.

    • @llemn._tank

    • @llemn._tank
      @llemn._tank 2 years ago +9

      @ToonedMinecraft he means the moisture of water that the bamboo contained is removed after cutting it and thus Deducting the mass of it too. Just like if you're 60% water and if we....

    The crafting table has a particle accelerator to strip particles of wood and craft it into Redstone by re-arranging the protons and neutrons.

    • @HistoryUnwound
      @HistoryUnwound 2 years ago +43

      Pretty sure Steve’s muscles are so strong that he can just crush the block into a compact size and manually move the particles, since A: This guy can sprint as fast as a professional athlete while carrying 63,936 blocks of solid gold, and B: He can make buttons without the help of a crafting table.

    I do woodworking with fresh-cut wood. Often for certain specific uses, you have to use a specific part of a tree. Maybe the average wood/stone block in Minecraft is good enough for building material, but is too knotty/has too many micro-fractures to be used in a button that needs to give a reliable output and stand up to a lot of wear (a club, for example, lasts longest when it's made from something heavy like apple wood, but specifically from the root ball of a sapling)

    • @samuels1123
      @samuels1123 2 years ago +21

      So out of one cubic meter of wood planks you can only find the material for one button?

    • @mso2013
      @mso2013 2 years ago +41

      ​@samuels1123 you need to factor in that in minecraft, 1 m^3 lumber becomes 4 m^3 planks. unlike the real world, where depending on the wood, you lose alot of mass in the creation of planks. 1m^3 raw lumber becoming 4 buttons seems waistefull but i dont think it is that unrealistic.

    • @OrangeC7

      That's fair, after all, the stick recipe doesn't make sense from a volume perspective, either, but as a game mechanic it's not so bad. But only getting one button from an entire block is kinda strange from either perspective.

    • @patrickrannou1278
      @patrickrannou1278 2 years ago +25

      Very logical and reasopnable. The only way this could be avoided is if the game add tons of "waste bits" items, say a "sawdust" item, or "useless oddly shaped plank" item, etc., but then the game would have to add actual USES for all that stuff othwerwise it's just items cluttering your inventory for no good reason. Better to just ignore it like you do.

      It's still way too much waste. If you have a 1mx1mx1m block and you are so wasteful that you only get one button out of it, you're doing something wrong. The waste makes sense in some cases, but a block should at least give you 16 buttons.

    @xxfalconarasxx5659 2 years ago +248

    To be fair, in real life mining and manufacture, you are gonna end up with some unusable waste materials, especially if what you are working with is pretty complicated. Examples include, slag, sawdust, stone aggregate, and other bits of scrap, so I could understand losing some materials in the crafting process. In the case of a button, there would be some internal mechanisms that Steve would have to create, which I'm sure would lead to some material lose, but that being said, I do agree that one teeny tiny push button for a whole meter by meter block is a little silly.

    • @PapaLurts

      You get 4 buttons for a meter block. Logs make 4 planks, which implies logs are at least 3/4 filled with air or glue or asbestos or whatever. And that’s only if no material is lost in the process, turned to sawdust or unusable scrap.

      @geckoanims Actually, it's 7 seconds to smelt one item, so it would take 3 sticks and 7 bamboo. Also, I'm talking about in Bedrock (My MC launcher isn't working so I've had to play on it) so there might be a difference. I timed it on my world a while ago.

    • @doggo_woo
      @doggo_woo 2 years ago +5

      From the Minecraft Wiki: "Bamboo can be used as fuel for smelting. Each bamboo item smelts 0.25 items. Crafting two bamboo into a stick and using that as fuel is equivalent, smelting 0.5 items."
      The only way you benefit is if you craft bamboo into ladders.

    • @Skittleplays891
      @Skittleplays891 2 years ago +87

      @hungry_lama so log is basically the opposite of powers (we are taking about math) The default setting for log is 10 so it say 10^?=1 and anything raised to the 0th power is one.
      oh yea btw the parts of log is log_x(y)=z and the equation is x^z=y

    • @tecanec9729
      @tecanec9729 2 years ago +63

      ​​@hungry_lamaIn a nutshell, the logarithm (often shortened to just "log") of a number is how many times you have to divide it by 10 to reach 1. So the logarithm of 10 is 1, the logarithm of 100 is 2, the logarithm of 10000 is 4, and the logarithm of 1 is 0.
      You may also have heard it refered to as the "order of magnitude".
      Of course, there's always more to it than that, but these are the basics.

  • @AuroraThePuppymoth
    @AuroraThePuppymoth 2 years ago +83

    Here's my interpretation: The bamboo -> stick recipe is basically tying bamboo pieces end-to-end, and the stick retains its strength. Bamboo blocks -> planks splits and unrolls the bamboo segments into thinner, weaker pieces, so in order to create sticks of the same durability, the split pieces must be layered parallel to each other and bound, possibly using fibers from the bamboo itself.

    • @jarrod752
      @jarrod752 2 years ago +7

      Right. Creating a bamboo bundle is all about 8 bamboo being bound by 1 bamboo. That's lost when you break it all back apart.

    In my personal datapack mod, I have it so the crafting recipe for stairs gives 6 instead of 4. While 8 would increase parity with how much space the stair occupies, three complications:
    1. The amount of volume a stair occupies changes with connections to other stairs, making it an inconsistent measurement method.
    2. I don't think there's any way to alter the number of stairs outputted by stonecutter recipes, so I opted for parity with stairs-via-stonecutter instead.
    3. Unless you're using it for something decorative like a house roof, under normal circumstances you'll likely use stairs at a 1:1 ratio with the blocks you're sparing yourself the hassle of jumping over, so getting as many stairs as there are blocks in the recipe is a reasonable conversion to settle for.
    Given your musings however, I agree that buttons should be more efficient given their simplicity, and I might even add that to my datapack mod now that I've seen this. That said, I think I'd lean towards 8, 12, or 16 buttons for balance purposes, going full realism and turning a single block into well over a stack of buttons might be a tad excessive.

    Considering that we get 4 planks out of a log, I assume that the planks are either empty inside or somehow not as dense as the log. And the log might be secretly hollow as well. The button, on the other hand, is entirely wooden, with no air in between the wood. This means that we have to compress the wood to make the button, which is not really hard if we assume that all wood that planks contain is present in a thin layer on the surface of the block.
