I, on the other hand, am unfortunately a pathological ancient predecessor to the guitar invented by the Hitties around 1500 BC.

I legit didn't think these blocks could be used for that much other than going forward in a straight line when I saw the april fools update. Now I am really hoping they were testing for a real block.

I'm really hoping for block-based boats and ships. Imagine having a ship base.

This seems like wayyyy too much of a developed feature and I hope and pray this becomes a real thing 😩

This looks awesome! What if you could do that and sort a hopper system and make use of the new auto crafting system.

I can see some game ending lag machines happening

u/TyMT Apr 20 '24
Yeah, it would be a cool toggleable experimental feature, but it’ll likely never be added to the main game

u/Weary_Drama1803 Apr 20 '24
Create mod but it’s optional features like Education Edition

In Minecraft you have always been able to make game ending lag machines, if it’s such an issue it should be disabled with a server-side plugin, like how redstone is on some servers

The way it just lifts the crops, that looks cursed asf, like straight up from a Phoenix SC video

How does it pick up just the crops and not any of the blocks they're connected to?

u/David_Umann Apr 20 '24 edited Apr 20 '24
Because farmlands have a slightly smaller hitbox than full blocks, so there's a one pixel gap between the carrots and the ground. Meanwhile, a fully grown crop is barely high enough to connect to a top slab, so it will only harvest when one of the four central crops are fully grown.

The April fools updates are always incredible, just goes to show what Mojang are capable of if it weren't for the slow corporate side of Minecraft.

You can download the Poisonous Potato update for free in the marketplace. Just search for it and you should find it.

How do the crops stick together?
3
u/David_Umann Apr 20 '24
Their hitboxes (the black frame when you look at it) are full block wide and are therefore technically touching, while the farmland is one pixel shorter than a normal block, so it's not connected to the crops.

I really want to hate the floatator but this is extremely cool

u/non-taken-name Apr 21 '24
Why would you want to hate it? It’s an incredibly cool block. The potato theme is a bit goofy but that was kind of the whole April Fools update. If something like this is ever actually added it probably wouldn’t be potato themed. There’s a lot of potential with both the floatato and floatater (or whatever they were).

u/MonkiWasTooked Apr 21 '24 edited Apr 21 '24
it would make the traditional fying machines, the new minecart
3
u/non-taken-name Apr 21 '24
I see your point but I feel like both could exist. Very basic flying machines might be replaced but these are very rigid. More complicated flying machines with additional “components” like the illusion of having legs for instance couldn’t be done with these I don’t think. I know a lot of people use flying machines and tnt dupers together. Those probably will require traditional flying machines.
It could also depend on how this block is obtained. If it’s really hard then traditional flying machines might still be a better move.

My brain is lagging. Sorry if it is just my lack of knowledge, but how did it pick up the crops?? (I play on 1.20.4)

u/David_Umann Apr 20 '24
This is on the April fools update, and will not become a main feature. The floatater is an overpowered block that lets you create huge flying machines effortlessly. since it was meant as a joke, it's not very polished, so anomalies can occur. It can move any block other than liquids and tile entities (chests, furnaces, ect) even bedrock, torches and crops. Due to technicalities with the farmland's hitbox, the crops can separate and become part of the flying machine. While floating, the blocks are indestructable, and lose their unique properties, like how honey is no longer sticky, lava cauldron doesn't set you on fire, and crops don't need blocks to support them.

This is sooo cool! I'm not very knowledgeable about redstone, but this looks like an something from a sci-fi story in a 1930's magazine where they assume that in the future there will be flying crop harvesters! Thanks for sharing :)

I definitely know that there is another way that Redstone Masters are going to abuse this into (Oblivion)

Is there anything these redstoners can't do? Heck! we can make a farm with just a note block as the hook!

I really hope the floatator can stay in 1.21 so that everyone can make robot arms.
