Would have been better if chickens were in the pin and then a pressure the water triggered those doors to open.
The placing of the chickens was kinda :((.

@Credge - I agree. He builds this huge, intricate machine, and it all comes down to him shooting arrows at a couple of chickens and then waiting for them to mosey on over to the switch. Other than that, I'm definitely impressed.

@DevilSei - I didn't know eggs existed. I haven't played minecraft in a while. I thought that he hit the chicken so many times that a Legend of Zelda style chicken rampage happened.

That bulls-eye shot was very unexpected. And beautiful.

If this man has a wife and shows half this much devotion to her, she is the luckiest human being alive.

Everything there was "ah, I see what he did there" bar the TNT cannon. I didn't even know that was possible.

the issue is that the chickens could have been in there from the start but they despawn after 3mins (i think) which is why he threw like 60 eggs downthere since they hatch into chickens, so it's more a limitation of the game as opposed to a flaw in his machine(though that said he could have made a different way to end it

You know what would have been ironic? A creeper blowing up some part of the process, ruining everything.

Does fire normally burn perfect images into the ground...?

No, he just put those blocks in that shape one layer below the stuff that was burning.

I have to agree with you, I'd rather build things using only the game; however, I think this machine is good enough to counteract the fact that it was made using an editor.

@videoseph You are what we refer to in the industry as a "Minecraft Wizard".

What did you just say? Use of editors is frowned upon? And minecraft is about building things with an editor, not completing objectives or any other thing. It is about creativity. And ever heard of games like counter strike? Or any other mod of any kind, those were all made with an editor. And I'm sure that the thousands of people who play those mods don't frown upon their makers.

Yawn.
I'm sure that took a lot of time and I could never do that if I wanted to, but damn that looks boring.

I don't know much about Minecraft, but I do love that VIC-20 font on the signs.
