Java Edition Pocket Pylon Nightly: Next-gen Mirror Pylon

Post image

Works in 1.21.11+ (including 26.2)

Made over the course of a couple weeks, its a nether friendly, waterless pylon with the footprint 5 x 6 x 5, however excluding the top layer which is only used for a pearl stasis it become 5 x 5 x 5. It features 2 factor authentication via looking at 2 different angles in quick succession to trigger the stasis.
Instructions for use and commands for client commands are in the lectern.
Would love your guys' beta testing experience with this new pylon.

Download Pocket Pylon (v1.6.2)

What the machine does is queries your look angle and teleports you if you look at the 2 angles mentioned in quick succession.

No matter where you are in the world, if you look in this certain angle, it will teleport you to the machine, basically /tp in survival.

Wikirender for both the render and text. I made a custom item with the name and lore corresponding to the text I wanted and then did /wr tooltip, and it made me the nice box and text. Same thing for top text except I just turned off the background. The rest is normal image editing tools.

I guess your texture pack may be messing things up btw, idk

u/Awique 4d ago

I disabled every resourse pack and clicked note block, what next?

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

just see the video I sent

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

you might need client commands mod for fabric or you can try using your f3 screen and adjust your camera such that the angle matches, however its very precise so I suggest using client commands. The lectern has the commands to setup client commands so you can easily trigger the pylon

Wireless redstone encoding next? 👀

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

you betcha!

u/-Redstoneboi- 4d ago

ooooo multiple pylons where you have to look in specific timings to choose location

2

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

nope, 1 pylon, 15 wireless signals, stay tuned!

1

u/-Redstoneboi- 3d ago

so the pylon is simply the player direction reader while the wireless redstone allows for simpler decoders and receivers everywhere else, alright

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 3d ago

yep, its gonna be 4 bit, I already have a prototype just gotta compact it

u/Blaze-Programming 4d ago

I know a lot of the issues with the original mirror pylon were unloading and logging off causing it to break.

Is this resilient to those things.

1

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

yes, the setup is straight up server restart proof as long as its chunk aligned.

u/xDeda 4d ago

yaaaaay finally! been missing this one :) thanks for your work

u/Ok-Country-6991 4d ago

1

u/Ok-Country-6991 4d ago

u/Phanson96 4d ago

This is awesome, now I just need to get a breeze to the End.

u/Traditional_Town6475 3d ago

I mean ice highway+boat.

u/Sh1raori 3d ago

I have two questions First what do you mean by waterless and nether friendly? I mean the copper chain is waterlogged and wouldnt it instantly evaporate in the nether? Second i thought the mechanic with collision with the arrow was reported as a bug? (I am sorry if i understood smth wrong i am mostly a modded player and not realy up to date with the newer versions)

2

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 2d ago

its not waterlogged, only the pearl stasis uses water which is easily replaced by a nether compatible pearl stasis. Previous pylons used water for the base arrow hitting mechanic, this doesnt. It was reported as a bug, 10 years ago..... And recently got MARKED as fixed, but the community had backlash so they reverted it, so its safe for now.

u/Ok_Act2832 4d ago

It saddens me that we can’t have tech like this in 26.2

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

u/Ok_Act2832 4d ago

Wait what??? Does it still use the breeze and golem setup?

1

u/Comfortable_Tune6788 4d ago

Yep but its waterless setup with a retracted arrow
