How STRONG Are Minecraft Pistons?

Minecraft pistons are op! Not only from a gameplay standpoint but from a physical standpoint as well! But just how powerful are these little pushers?

Blah Blah DreamSMP and all that youtuber bs lmao, I won't even try to make a cohesive sentence with trendy dream, tommyinnit, minecraft search terms :v

Also before anyone says, no I didn't forget 1 or 0 ticking, or pistons pushing entities. The reason I didn't include it in the video is because I wanted the conclusion to at least be some tangible number and not infinity :)

Man, this makes you wonder just how strong steve's pockets are...

this video is a masterpiece, it’s so engaging and interesting to watch, dropped a sub

Lol a piston can push 12 netherite blocks but can’t push 13 blocks of sand

Minecraft is intelligent

[rekrap]

Well I just got my daily allowance of math😂. Fantastic video on a Fantastic topic Crafty

(Actually, pistons are even stronger, because the gravitational force in Minecraft is not 10, but around 18 m/s^2)

[_lilnuggetwithbbqsauce]

Actually, a piston can push much more than that : they can push multiple players with full inventory of shulker boxes that are full of netherite blocks

Note about 7:27, for a piston to instantly go to some speed, it requires an infinite amount of energy. But instead it makes more sense to say you divide the pistons final speed minus 0 (because the starting velocity is 0) by the time it takes for a piston to reach that speed, which is probably one redstone game tick.

Fantastically entertaining format
Solid 5/7
Would watch again!

8:30 simply put, redstone can hold a pulse for 14 blocks, and the strength of the pulse does not matter to power the piston, so multiply the jules from the piston by 14 to calculate the maximum amount of power that a piece of redstone can handle passing through it. If you brought 1 stack of redstone torches (or blocks) to our universe, you could resolve the power problems of the entire world.

Bro you are the mc youtuber that I am literally the most impressed of. You are the absolute most underrated youtuber I've ever heard of

I'm not so sure you can get the density of netherite blocks that way. In order to turn a block of ancient debris into netherite scrap, it needs to go through a blast furnace. This would certainly burn away a significant majority of the other compounds in the ancient debris. With that in mind, if we go by the shape of the netherite scrap sprite, it looks like it is made from two thin sheets of material that when placed together would equal about half the volume of a gold bar.

the iron inside the piston also moves, also tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point which would make it more viable for netherite. a gold ingot is 2, 144 kg, a netherite block contains 4*9=36 gold ingots, 2, 144*36=77, 184 of gold inside the netherite, for the tungsten its 19, 280 kg per m^3 devide it by 9 and get you 2, 142 kg. You have to multiply that again by 36 which is equals to 77, 120 kg. Now add the gold and tungsten together and you will have 77, 184+77, 120=154, 304 kg per netherite block. A piston can push 12 blocks so 154, 304*12=1, 851, 648 kg.

In conclusion, a piston can push 1, 851, 648 kg if you would use tungsten instead of platinum

Redstone has a wattage of infinity since it can power itself forever

interesting idea, but the problem with all these "what is the heaviest thing in minecraft" calculations is that you're assuming that mining and crafting is a lossless process. it's pretty fair to say that a gold block is a solid 1m³ of gold (in reality, it is probably less because of impurities), but 1 ancient debris ≠ 1m³ of pure metal. the implication of ancient debris and netherite scraps is that you are salvaging scrap metal from old compacted machinery/armor/structure. also, masses of alloys do not necessarily add to the same volume; depending on the elements you're adding.

Piston: Can push 10k mt

Also Piston: Defeated by a chest made from 8 wood planks

MINECRAFT LOGIC :D

This is exactly the content I wanna see from a channel I subscribe

You could have thousands of camels with shulkerboxes of netherite blocks and your inventory is full of netherite so it could be unlimited until ur game crashes

[jackcobra]

For the calculations, as I understand, you used the formula: v = s/t (s is distance/displacement) and the divided it with another set of time in the formula: a = v/t. That also means that technically: a = (s/t)/t, which means a = v/t^2.
But then why didn't you use the formula: s = u*t(0) + (1/2)*a*(t^2) (u is initial velocity)? That would have resulted in a calculation about 2 times what you found it to be.





Really good editing, like really really good editing keep it up! Your video genuinely kept me engaged!
