StableLoop

Designing calm, sustainable systems in Minecraft and other complex games.

Long-term worlds, explained builds, and honest iteration.

Built a redstone item elevator.

Realized it was one block too far forward.

Rebuilt it.

Realized it was also one block too far left.

Rebuilt it AGAIN.

At this point, I'm beginning to suspect the problem might be the engineer. 😂

Why is there a random hole in my Minecraft floor?

It's actually the input for my entire storage system! Autocrafters, bulk filters, and copper golem storage all start here.

Sometimes functionality beats aesthetics.

What happens when your Minecraft storage system receives items it can't store?

Automatic overflow disposal!

A little redstone engineering goes a long way.

Built a quick and ugly snow farm. Just needed enough snowballs for my item filters.

Set everything up, grabbed my shovel, and got to work.

Forgot I was holding a Silk Touch shovel. 🤦‍♂️

The farm worked. The operator failed. 😂

Sometimes you have to take resources OUT of your item filters to keep them running.

My item filters need 41 items, but I still needed some of those resources to produce more!

Automation is great. Planning for replenishment is better.

@MrBeast I'd call myself fairly logical, but I'm just going to say, one of the advantages of being successful is having the time, resources, and support to make the content you truly want to make. It seems like a big investment now, but the finished product will be worth it! Go for it! :)

[StableLoop @stablelooplive]

Silk Touch? Not today!

I'm after amethyst shards, not intact clusters. Between tinted glass, spyglasses, allay duplication, and armor trims, I've got plenty of uses for these little things. 💎

Spent HOURS looking for deepslate coal ore for my Minecraft storage system.

Found exactly zero.

Started questioning whether it even existed in survival.

Turns out it's incredibly rare, and I probably never needed a BULK filter for it anyway. 😂

I removed a double chest from each Minecraft storage silo.

Why? To make room for automatic overflow disposal before excess farm resources reach my copper golem sorter.

Less capacity, more reliability. That's a trade I'll take.

Hot take: Stacking chests and hoppers vertically isn't the best way to build bulk storage.

Items in upper chests won't refill the bottom when you take things out.

Snake the hopper connections instead. Same footprint, continuous downward flow!

Traditional item filters + diagonal layouts = trouble. 😅

They can drain items from neighboring filters while sorting, breaking the whole system.

The redstone works. The geometry doesn't.

I found space for 4 more bulk item filters beside the water elevator!

Mirror the setup across the ravine, and that's 8 more bulk items sorted than planned. Diagonal builds: occasionally useful in ways you didn't expect. ⚙️

Minecraft troubleshooting: sometimes the farm isn't broken. 🌲

My underground giant spruce setup wasn't working because of a torch on the northwest block next to the saplings. Removed it; fixed it.

All I wanted was a button to close the storage unit door.

Attempt 1: bypasses the key lock.
Attempt 2: opens the wall. 😂
Looks like the redstone gets a vote in the building's aesthetics after all.

[StableLoop @stablelooplive]

The redstone was about to collide with itself, so the floor plan had to change. 😅

That's why I build the systems before finishing the aesthetics. It's easier to move a wall on paper than rebuild it in Minecraft.

Function first. Form later.

Redstone engineering isn't just about moving items. Sometimes, it's about knowing when to stop them. ⚙️

This lever-operated hopper lock lets me remove supply boxes from my Shulker Box Vending Machine without them falling in.

Me: “I'll put all my building supplies here so they're easy to grab.”

Also me five minutes later: “...I need to build there.” 🤦

A pumpkin may not be the best look for an intro, but it's better than accidentally staring an Enderman in the eyes😂🎃

Sometimes the safest decision is the least glamorous one.

I just discovered that powered rails give you 6 per recipe.

I swear I thought it was 1. 😂

So, rather than 6 ingots per rail, it's been 1 ingot per rail this WHOLE TIME!

That's… a pretty important distinction.

Apparently my brain is still running the OLD version of my base. 😂

I confidently walked straight toward the trading hall… and only remembered at the last possible moment that I MOVED THE GATE.
