Stupid question, did you measure the speed and acceleration in bedrock edition? You didn't state if they are the same or not. Also, how much friction is needed to hold the piston in place to push all that weight?
11:23 "and for the sake of Sanity we're going to ignore any *exploits* involving nesting chests and just look at them as designed. as boxes that can hold 27 of any object" shulker boxes: allow us to introduce ourselves
Yeah, I don’t remember if shulker boxes were utilized which chest stacking when calculating Steve’s strength in MC but, if one were to try to put that number into play….well, I think the closing notes said it best: this thing has, effectively, infinite output.
x27 the numbers. so each chest needs 6.79 GN, so it gives a total of 81.48 GN for jsut 12 chest, now if you put the shulker boxes in, each slot effecively becomes 27 slots, thus making the energy needed 27 x bigger. giving a total offff ::: 2199.96 GN, yes. 2.2 kGN, TWO THOUSAND GIGA NEWTONS. The force exerted by tectonic plates during a major earthquake can range from a few giganewtons to several hundred giganewtons.
@@The_World_Of_Malk don't forget netherite blocks. neth blocks are made of 9 neth ingots, each of which has 4 gold ingots, meaning 1 cubic metre of netherite contains the mass of 4 cubic metres of gold, plus the unknown mass of the ancient debris. even ignoring the debris, that's a casual x4 to the numbers, ON TOP of the shulker boxes. and of course the mass of the shulker shells and the debris - although we don't have exact numbers - would add even more mass on top of that...
Shulker boxes are ender magic tho, kinda like ender chests. The contents aren't inside it, but in its own pocket dimension, which is why you can carry them around.
As a redstone channel who has done a video on this (twice), there are a couple notable mistakes. 1. Using FPS to determine the speed of a piston is a bit flawed since lag can affect how the animation looks. A piston takes 3 gameticks or 0.15 seconds to extend/retract. There is also no acceleration, it gets to that speed instantly. Or if you did want some number for acceleration you could say it reaches its top speed in 0.05 seconds or 1 gametick. 2. A gold block is not the heaviest block in minecraft, it's netherite. The crafting recepie of a netherite block alone has 36 gold ingots which is already 4x a gold block + the added mass of whatever "ancient debris" is 3. You mentioned you didn't want to do nested chests to calculate the bedrock side of things which is understandable. But even without exploits you can fill an entire chest with 27 shulker boxes and have every shulkerbox also be completely full Rest of the math seems to have checked out though
Regarding point 3, we do not know what shulker boxes are or how they physically work, so if you put a shulker box in a chest that isn't guaranteed to be increasing the mass.
Wouldn't Netherite be the most heavy? It needs 9 netherite ingots to craft one and you need 4 gold bars to make one ingot, meaning that you need 36 gold ingots to make one block, unlike gold blocks that need only 9, so even if we assume Netherite scraps are weightless, they are still four times heavier than gold blocks
Oooooooh, I think you are probably correct. I didn't know about netherite blocks. I think this makes them at least 4x as dense as a gold block. Yeah I think you're 100% right on this. Can't redo the video now of course, but I'm gonna have to keep this in mind for the future. Also sorry, I can't pin this because I'm required to keep a comment pinned for Raycon, but I hope other people see this!
@@ShoddyCast That's completely fine! I'm glad you read my comment nonetheless. It is something that I see often when talking about Minecraft and max weight, force, etc. It makes sense to use gold blocks since they allow to find real world metrics and keep the sanity checks when doing math easier, but bigger number is always fun to see too!
@@Irreverent_Radiation I think Netherite Blocks work better even with that "unknown" factor of how much netherite scrap weighs. You can just go "it's AT LEAST 4x gold" and draw conclusions from that. Very cool, and thank you for pointing this out!
Instead of dragging them horizontally, you could place the piston firing upwards, which would mean you would have to overcome the entirety of the weight of the block, instead of just half of it.
11:36 Technically you could have 46.656 gold blocks in every single chest, since shulker boxes can hold an entire chest of gold inside a chest, and you can hold 27 of them. So the weight of a single chest skyrockets at 10.816.727.040 kg. Regardless, welcome back Austin!

The adhe meds or lack of them is so relatable. The phone tag between the pharmacy and doctor always seems to take months. Then you finally get it and its time for a doctors appointment that gets rescheduled three times and before you know it you've had meds 2 out of 12 months and start it all over again.

Hey Austin! You’re one of my favourite creators on this platform. I’d just like to tell you I sourced one of my favourite videos (and one of yours) in a history essay years ago.

Austin, at 10:39, I think you swapped the hundreds and tens digits for the number of Joules. I think it's supposed to be 231,840J (=> 231,840W) (instead of 231,480J) because the gold weighs 231,840kg. Also, great to see a video from you again :)

Hey Austin, what about water? A single source block of water can hold a LOT of water, by placing at the build limit and letting it flow it's maximum 8 blocks in all directions and then dropping it down one block, and then continuing letting it flow all the way to bedrock, so that you get the most water possible, it also fills in all of that area. The source block can then be frozen and then turned into a block of ice. That block contains all of that water, somehow frozen into a 1 square meter cube. (That's the part where things kinda get iffy because of the way that water flows in Minecraft, but I'm really just curious) You can then use 9 of those ice blocks to create packed ice, then 9 packed ice to create a block of blue ice. Blue has the (I think) lowest friction coefficient in the game, so that would change the amount of friction force, but it would be so unfathomable dense that I still think it would be a huge acceleration.
Good. One question down, now there's three more. 1. How much electricity would you need to power that pistion. 2. How much energy dose a block of redstone hold. 3. What's the science behind the shulker levitation.
Wanted to pointed somethings out: In 10:35 there was a typo, as 231840 kg changed to 231480 in the joules and watts calculations; Just as another person said, using netherite blocks, that are made from 36 ingots of gold and 36 netherite scraps, the results would get 4 to 5 times bigger depending on how heavy the netherite is; In the BE calculations, you could've also accounted for shulker boxes inside the chests, so the actual results would be at least 27x bigger, not even accounting for the wait of the shulkers and chests them selves; As for java edition, you can still push minecarts, and the minecart could have the shulkers mentioned earlier, so the BE and java results would be a bit closer in reality. Loved the video, hope to see more like it!
the horsepower calculation is wrong. 1 J is a force of one newton pushing a mass 1 meter. note that the mass isn't specified, 1 newton pushing a single proton 1 meter is the same amount of energy as 1 newton pushing mt. everest 1 meter. obviously the proton is going to cover that 1 meter a lot faster, but the work done is the same. so rather than the mass you need the force, which is 47.2 MN. 47.2 MN multiplied by 1 m is equal to 47.2 MJ. this is then divided by the time it takes the piston to move the mass over that distance (0.117 s) giving a wattage of 403.42 MW of power, or 540700.11 horsepower.
@@santiagotorrezsegarra7790 you're misinterpreting the definition of a joule. It is equal to the work done _by a force of 1 newton_ when moving a mass by 1 meter. You can't move Mt. Everest with only 1N of force and a proton would move _way_ further than 1m under 1N. And if you know the gravity, then you're already going to be factoring that into the equation, which is going to give you your force measurement.
@RabblesTheBinx ok you seem to be misinterpreting the definition of a newton in this case. For the sake of argument, lets say were in a vacuum. You leave a force of 1 newton pushing mt everest through space, and over the course of a century it moves 1 meter. The amount of work done is 1 joule, though that work is done over the course of a century. Then you have 1 newton acting on a proton. Within picoseconds the proton crosses 1 meter, doing one joule of work over the course of a picosecond. In both cases the force and the distance is the same, only the mass and time are proportional. As you mentioned, e=f*d, which never mentions time or mass. If the proton keeps going thats irrelevant since its energy will remain at 1 joule the moment the force stops acting on it. Mt everest would also keep moving through space with 1 joule of kinetic energy, though it would be so slow it seems to be still.
One video i would love to see is on the thermal shield from Titanfall 2. It is a defensive/offensive titan ability, the titan projects a vortex of flames hot enough to neutralize and projectile that enters it. The thing is, the projectile is not just turned to slag, it is entirely evaporated. I would love to see you calculate how hot fire would need to be in order to vaporize a midair railgun shot.
Hey Austin, I’m also diagnosed with ADHD and I feel you pain lol. I usually take Vyvanse and the difference in productivity when I’m off it and when I’m on it is literally night and day. Even at max effort I don’t make it anywhere close to when I do when I’m meditated. I switched doctors about a year and a half ago and haven’t been able to get my medicine refilled since. It’s a constant struggle of waiting weeks for a response, just to hear them say “I can’t do this, but this guy can!” Then waiting weeks just for them to say the same thing lol. Really wish they made it easier.
This has been a very rough few days for me, and over the weekend I actually started watching some of the classic science videos to think back to a better time for me a few years back. Austin yelling about Minecraft science might just be my happy place.
What a wonderful video Austin. One simple topic, good and steady pacing and the obligatory escalation at the end. Sometimes the classics hit the hardest. I really appreciate the effort put into these projects.
Not sure if anyone has said this before but Austin would be a great Renaissance man. Combining the science, engineering and mathematics of all these calculations, with the artistry of creating a compelling video with a funny script.
1) Shoddycast might be my favourite channel on youtube (and carried a specific group before fnaf ruined RUclips) 2) wait what we haven't gotten to high school math yet?
You know, it's kinda neat watching these now. I fondly remember watching austin in jr. highschool - and now I'm in the middle of a bachelors, and having passed highschool physics (and some algebra courses in uni) these suddenly seem so trivial... And miraculously I remember all the equations! (Though there wasn't that much to remember here in particular...) Cheers Austin, you were a very fun part of my school years, and I'm happy to come by every now and again when a video drops.
..... >_> I feel slightly better. The world is still abysmal and very very stupid, but I do feel slightly better. Thank you. I owe you a boon, mystical stranger.
Technically a water bucket is the most dense item in Minecraft, since it only goes out like 4 blocks, unless you make it go down a block and it will reset
4:20 Gold is NOT the densest thing in Minecraft. For one, simple reason... Netherite. Specifically, Netherite is MADE with gold, and whatever ancient debris is. Four gold ingots, being compacted into a bar. Meaning a total of 36 gold ingots worth of gold are in a Netherite block. That's four times the gold per gold! Netherite isn't made in a furnace where impurities, or extra mass would be smelted off. It's made in a crafting table. Each Netherite ingot, is four gold ingots, and yet, both nine netherite ingots, and nine gold ingots, make a 1m³ block. All that extra gold is compacted down, and that's ignoring the other extra mass of the ancient debris... And, guess what? It's pushable by a piston! So all your calculations, you can just... quadruple them. ...yeah.
I think a factor that could be considered is that a full day in Minecraft is only 20 minutes, or 1/3 hour. Dividing 24 by 1/3 means that for every second that passes in real life, 72 seconds passes in Minecraft, so that might change the force of the piston a lot.
Its kinda crazy that I used to watch these when I was much younger and didn't understand the concepts, yet here I am using these same formulas for school
So you only need 300+ horsepower to launch a rocket into space? Huh… I guess those memes of Vin Diesel launching a muscle car into space thanks to the power of family were more accurate than I thought 😨
That moment of anticipation waiting for the "bum ba-bum bumm" that tells you you're about to learn a whole bunch that you didn't even know you didn't know, I love it.
THIS! This is what I've needed in my life. Austin yelling about the science of random crap in video games. Absolutely love it. Thanks for all the hard work!
I'm so glad to have your videos back Austin, I've been a fan since I was 13 and I'm damn near 20 now. I've always loved physics and science, and always loved videogames - which is why I love your channel. Thank you for returning to us :)
12:09 You forgot about how you can put shuker boxes inside chests which means the number is higher. I think pushing that in real life would probably blow up half the Earth or something
Austin! I finally found you again. I loved your work on Game Theory and missed your excited number words. Your open always makes my day. I didn't realize you had just changed where you were posting.
I love that you're back, will keep an eye out for more content. But I couldn't ignore that in 10:42 you said the total weight is 231, *840* kg, but then said the joules (and therefore the watts) are only 231, *480* j/w. Just a nitpick ofc, and it's not like those missing 360 kg are gonna make that big of a difference anyway lol
More recently I've been watching less of Game Theory some videos just don't seem that interesting to me but every single time when I see that blue text on screen indicating it was your video I watch it. keep at it Austin, you literally can't go wrong with me.
This becomes even worse if you consider the old recipe for enchanted golden apples uses 8 golden blocks and they can still stack to 64. Me and a friend also did this calculation with a dispenser, which can repeately fire off a loaded shulker box every few ticks.
Fun fact: a piston takes 3 game ticks (1.5 redstone ticks) to fully extend, but unless it is powered directly by a player, a repeater will round it to 4 game ticks (2 redstone ticks), everything powered by the piston before the repeater experiences the 3 game tick delay.
Austin should do a video on how hot the neather is. That hell is hot enough to instantly evaporate 65 cubic meters of water from a sponge like it's nothing.
Distance math in minecraft is so nice and relaxing because there's 1 meter rulers all around you. But then right next to them, we get force levels that go dogcrap crazy
Just a note, but I think you forgot about shulker boxes. Which would mean, in the base game of java minecraft, each chest could effectively hold 27 chests worth of items.
In case anyone was wondering the same things: Was wondering why you didn’t just use kinematic equations to find the acceleration, before rewatching 5:03, where the sinusoidal-esque speed of the block is pretty indicative of a non-constant acceleration, in which kinematics can’t be used. Love your work Austin, hope you’re doing well man :D
I love your content and the dedication that goes into it. The best part was the comparisons and how you showed us the scale. Though, this leaves me thinking, what about 1-tick and 0-tick pistons? Aren't they faster?

In 10:35 there was a typo, as 231840 kg changed to 231480 in the joules and watts calculations;
Just as another person said, using netherite blocks, that are made from 36 ingots of gold and 36 netherite scraps, the results would get 4 to 5 times bigger depending on how heavy the netherite is;
In the BE calculations, you could've also accounted for shulker boxes inside the chests, so the actual results would be at least 27x bigger, not even accounting for the wait of the shulkers and chests them selves;
As for java edition, you can still push minecarts, and the minecart could have the shulkers mentioned earlier, so the BE and java results would be a bit closer in reality.
Loved the video, hope to see more like it!
10:42 the numbers are wrong… 4 and 8 are in the wrong spot
the horsepower calculation is wrong. 1 J is a force of one newton pushing a mass 1 meter. note that the mass isn't specified, 1 newton pushing a single proton 1 meter is the same amount of energy as 1 newton pushing mt. everest 1 meter. obviously the proton is going to cover that 1 meter a lot faster, but the work done is the same.
so rather than the mass you need the force, which is 47.2 MN. 47.2 MN multiplied by 1 m is equal to 47.2 MJ. this is then divided by the time it takes the piston to move the mass over that distance (0.117 s) giving a wattage of 403.42 MW of power, or 540700.11 horsepower.
Thank you!! I was looking for this! I was so bothered by it in the video 😭
@@santiagotorrezsegarra7790 you're misinterpreting the definition of a joule. It is equal to the work done _by a force of 1 newton_ when moving a mass by 1 meter. You can't move Mt. Everest with only 1N of force and a proton would move _way_ further than 1m under 1N. And if you know the gravity, then you're already going to be factoring that into the equation, which is going to give you your force measurement.
@RabblesTheBinx ok you seem to be misinterpreting the definition of a newton in this case.
For the sake of argument, lets say were in a vacuum. You leave a force of 1 newton pushing mt everest through space, and over the course of a century it moves 1 meter. The amount of work done is 1 joule, though that work is done over the course of a century.
Then you have 1 newton acting on a proton. Within picoseconds the proton crosses 1 meter, doing one joule of work over the course of a picosecond.
In both cases the force and the distance is the same, only the mass and time are proportional. As you mentioned, e=f*d, which never mentions time or mass. If the proton keeps going thats irrelevant since its energy will remain at 1 joule the moment the force stops acting on it. Mt everest would also keep moving through space with 1 joule of kinetic energy, though it would be so slow it seems to be still.
13:32 I did have fun watching it! Thanks! 😊
One video i would love to see is on the thermal shield from Titanfall 2. It is a defensive/offensive titan ability, the titan projects a vortex of flames hot enough to neutralize and projectile that enters it. The thing is, the projectile is not just turned to slag, it is entirely evaporated. I would love to see you calculate how hot fire would need to be in order to vaporize a midair railgun shot.
Love these videos. I always knew that the "physics" of minecraft make no sense, but I still love it.
Seeing and hearing the start immediately made me smile
Hey Austin, I’m also diagnosed with ADHD and I feel you pain lol. I usually take Vyvanse and the difference in productivity when I’m off it and when I’m on it is literally night and day. Even at max effort I don’t make it anywhere close to when I do when I’m meditated. I switched doctors about a year and a half ago and haven’t been able to get my medicine refilled since. It’s a constant struggle of waiting weeks for a response, just to hear them say “I can’t do this, but this guy can!” Then waiting weeks just for them to say the same thing lol. Really wish they made it easier.
Can the ad-roll dance be a new feature in every video with a sponsor? Seeing you in human, non-PNG form was surprisingly heartwarming =)
This has been a very rough few days for me, and over the weekend I actually started watching some of the classic science videos to think back to a better time for me a few years back. Austin yelling about Minecraft science might just be my happy place.
Mooom hold on. Shoddycast uploaded a new The SCIENCE!!
What a wonderful video Austin. One simple topic, good and steady pacing and the obligatory escalation at the end.
Sometimes the classics hit the hardest. I really appreciate the effort put into these projects.
Hey Austin nice to see you hope you are well
Not sure if anyone has said this before but Austin would be a great Renaissance man. Combining the science, engineering and mathematics of all these calculations, with the artistry of creating a compelling video with a funny script.
Lets goooooooo
The minecraft brain rot of my own returns
1) Shoddycast might be my favourite channel on youtube (and carried a specific group before fnaf ruined RUclips)
2) wait what we haven't gotten to high school math yet?
wow im early... good to see ya again austin! hope lifes been well
I havent watched the show in ages as life was keeping me busy, but oh my god that into hits like a nostalgia train, glad youre still here 👍
We ever gonna get the who is the richest fictional character of all
I think Forbes did an article on that, and Scrooge McDuck is the richest fictional character of all
It’s always made me happy when I’ve seen another one of these pop up, thank you for continuing to create.
Missed you austin
You know, it's kinda neat watching these now.
I fondly remember watching austin in jr. highschool - and now I'm in the middle of a bachelors, and having passed highschool physics (and some algebra courses in uni) these suddenly seem so trivial...
And miraculously I remember all the equations!
(Though there wasn't that much to remember here in particular...)
Cheers Austin, you were a very fun part of my school years, and I'm happy to come by every now and again when a video drops.
Thank you Austin
This is the video that RUclips decided to tell me you'd made your own channel. Good to hear you, again, Austin!
Woohoo!
Happy to see another upload :3
THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!!! I missed "the science of" videos so much and never knew you'd be making them again! So happy you're back!
..... Maybe this will fix my depression....
Are you okay
@@AUSans101 nah man.... Nah. Nice of you to ask tho.
@@cameronjadewallace welcome. Whatever struggle you are in find the rain within the drought
@@AUSans101 .... Maybe you're right. Maybe I just need some water. Will test theory.
..... >_> I feel slightly better. The world is still abysmal and very very stupid, but I do feel slightly better. Thank you. I owe you a boon, mystical stranger.
Technically a water bucket is the most dense item in Minecraft, since it only goes out like 4 blocks, unless you make it go down a block and it will reset
And then you learn about 0 tick pistons...
Thank you for coming back , we all missed you !
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! MO' SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!
Also sorry for ruining the 69 likes, I just can't not like these vids
rip the Austins who were lost in an endless loop calculating boxes within boxes.
4:20 Gold is NOT the densest thing in Minecraft. For one, simple reason...
Netherite.
Specifically, Netherite is MADE with gold, and whatever ancient debris is. Four gold ingots, being compacted into a bar. Meaning a total of 36 gold ingots worth of gold are in a Netherite block. That's four times the gold per gold!
Netherite isn't made in a furnace where impurities, or extra mass would be smelted off. It's made in a crafting table. Each Netherite ingot, is four gold ingots, and yet, both nine netherite ingots, and nine gold ingots, make a 1m³ block. All that extra gold is compacted down, and that's ignoring the other extra mass of the ancient debris... And, guess what? It's pushable by a piston!
So all your calculations, you can just... quadruple them. ...yeah.
Nice to see a Minecraft style letter video again❤ I hope you had fun with this one it turned out really well🎉
I think a factor that could be considered is that a full day in Minecraft is only 20 minutes, or 1/3 hour. Dividing 24 by 1/3 means that for every second that passes in real life, 72 seconds passes in Minecraft, so that might change the force of the piston a lot.
I said the same thing. TIME is huge in these calculation. And minecraft is sped up.
Its kinda crazy that I used to watch these when I was much younger and didn't understand the concepts, yet here I am using these same formulas for school
So you only need 300+ horsepower to launch a rocket into space? Huh… I guess those memes of Vin Diesel launching a muscle car into space thanks to the power of family were more accurate than I thought 😨
That moment of anticipation waiting for the "bum ba-bum bumm" that tells you you're about to learn a whole bunch that you didn't even know you didn't know, I love it.
Austin.... I love your science vids and i love that you do this. Thank you so much.
I do remember your talking on levers in the Getting Over is video
He's so calm... no screaming. I am impressed. I do miss the old escalating song that I can't remember the name of, though
this might be the calmest I've seen austin I'm glad it's gotton better
Holy shit. I didn't think you were still uploading. Glad to see one of the greats are still around and thriving.
Suggestion for you austin; Given ALL the science involved, WHAT is Minecraft Steve?
I'm glad to see SCOENCE! Is back. I recently went back and watch some of yoir videos ans missed seeing your videos Austin!
THIS! This is what I've needed in my life. Austin yelling about the science of random crap in video games. Absolutely love it. Thanks for all the hard work!
Omg, this is a blast from the past. Its been forever, but I am glad its back!
I miss when Austin would yell, "With the power of SCIENCE"
I'm so glad to have your videos back Austin, I've been a fan since I was 13 and I'm damn near 20 now.
I've always loved physics and science, and always loved videogames - which is why I love your channel.
Thank you for returning to us :)
12:09 You forgot about how you can put shuker boxes inside chests which means the number is higher.
I think pushing that in real life would probably blow up half the Earth or something
Such classic Austin! I watch basically all your stuff but this was fun
Austin: Minecraft Steve is a Time Lord, and a piston is his TARDIS.
Love to see a new video from you, Austin! The font is a bit too pixelated for me to comfortably read the numbers on screen.
11:10 ah shit, you can push chests in bedrock. And chests can contain Shulkers.... Welp, so much for the universe.
When he comes back, oh boy, he comes back. Best video yet man.
Austin! I finally found you again. I loved your work on Game Theory and missed your excited number words. Your open always makes my day. I didn't realize you had just changed where you were posting.
All that was missing was for Austin to call the pistons something terrifying, because they truly are.
I love that you're back, will keep an eye out for more content. But I couldn't ignore that in 10:42 you said the total weight is 231, *840* kg, but then said the joules (and therefore the watts) are only 231, *480* j/w. Just a nitpick ofc, and it's not like those missing 360 kg are gonna make that big of a difference anyway lol
I was waiting for the sudden musical sting, very worth the weight.
Glad to have you back in Action Austin!
More recently I've been watching less of Game Theory some videos just don't seem that interesting to me but every single time when I see that blue text on screen indicating it was your video I watch it. keep at it Austin, you literally can't go wrong with me.
Didn't even have to bring up shulker boxes to show how absurd the numbers get
This becomes even worse if you consider the old recipe for enchanted golden apples uses 8 golden blocks and they can still stack to 64. Me and a friend also did this calculation with a dispenser, which can repeately fire off a loaded shulker box every few ticks.
Fun fact: a piston takes 3 game ticks (1.5 redstone ticks) to fully extend, but unless it is powered directly by a player, a repeater will round it to 4 game ticks (2 redstone ticks), everything powered by the piston before the repeater experiences the 3 game tick delay.
Yay, a new video about minecraft, and those little pistons are god damn terrifying!
And what about the older video, which shows how Steve is stronk?
As soon as it was said that the speed was the important bit, i was like oh boy i know, i've been there with the dnd peasant railgun theory.
“I’m addicted to having things in my ears” is so real my guy.
WAIT I thought this was a parody for a few seconds, I didn't realize Austin was still making these, based
Austin should do a video on how hot the neather is. That hell is hot enough to instantly evaporate 65 cubic meters of water from a sponge like it's nothing.
Distance math in minecraft is so nice and relaxing because there's 1 meter rulers all around you. But then right next to them, we get force levels that go dogcrap crazy
Just a note, but I think you forgot about shulker boxes. Which would mean, in the base game of java minecraft, each chest could effectively hold 27 chests worth of items.
The fact that minecraft steve can withstand getting crushed with two pistons is IMSANE
I didn’t even realize you’re back, good to see it!
In case anyone was wondering the same things: Was wondering why you didn’t just use kinematic equations to find the acceleration, before rewatching 5:03, where the sinusoidal-esque speed of the block is pretty indicative of a non-constant acceleration, in which kinematics can’t be used. Love your work Austin, hope you’re doing well man :D
love seeing new stuff here been a fan for ages keep on keepin on Austin
I love your content and the dedication that goes into it. The best part was the comparisons and how you showed us the scale. Though, this leaves me thinking, what about 1-tick and 0-tick pistons? Aren't they faster?
0:28 Hilariously enough, I have just finshed fighting with my patient portal to get my own medication refilled! How relatable can you be, Austin?
