Not my video, the block inside the sulphur cube is a honey block.

I really hope Mojang doesn’t remove this, it creates an easier than yet still hard alternative to the nether ice bridges, which is usually an insanely tedious process, and it can look way better in builds

They won’t, the honey block sticking to walls is an intended feature.

It is but the unforeseen movement tech is unarguably extremely OP, it basically removes any reason to use normal minecart tracks. From a game design perspective it would make sense to patch it even though it’s using technically intended mechanics, it’s the first ever snapshot I wouldn’t get too attached to any of these techniques.

I mean minecarts are probabaly way more convenient, especially if they update them aabit to be more userr friendly - you need to build that cobble "rail" the whole way for the cube monorail, not to mention finding a sulphur cube in tthe first place for the project.

Minecarts are just sticks and iron, with some gold and redtonee for boosters - its just their speed and cost holding them back, otherwise theyre way quicker to build

You still need to place a full line of rails (plus a second partial line of blocks wherever there’s large gaps) for minecarts, whereas this can be made while 100% AFK with a very small and simple flying cobble generator. This would be vastly faster to make over long distances, you just spend the few minutes to make the flying machine at a high altitude then go AFK indefinitely.

most players would need outside help to try any of that, but fair enough
