FLYING MACHINE

A self-propelling machine that flies in one direction using observers and pistons on slime blocks. Observers detect piston movement, triggering the cycle to repeat. The foundation for tunnel borers and world eaters.

Dimensions: 1W x 5-7L x 2H (basic design)

Step-by-Step Build Guide

  1. 1Place a slime block as the base.
  2. 2Attach a sticky piston to one end, facing the direction of travel.
  3. 3Attach a regular piston to the other end, also facing forward.
  4. 4Place observers: one watching the sticky piston, one watching the regular piston.
  5. 5The observers detect piston state changes and power the opposite piston.
  6. 6This creates a self-sustaining push-pull cycle: the machine moves forward each cycle.
  7. 7Add a block on top for the player to ride, or attach payloads with slime/honey blocks.
  8. 8To stop: break any component, or use a honey block brake system.
