| I loved SnugSite's fish tank design (link below), but I didn't want to have to keep restocking the fish manually—which wouldn't even be possible in Survival because ice blocks cannot be picked up. So I made a version that restocks itself. How‐to: www.youtube.com Schematic: dl.dropbox.com SnugSites' original: minecraftfurniture.imgur.com It first appeared in this video: www.youtube.com SnugSite's site: minecraftfurniture.net To get the fish into the tank, pistons push the ice blocks forward, the hatches on top of the tank flip up, and dispenser fire the fish (into glass panes so they will fall into the right spots). The system knows when the fish need to be restocked because the is a dispenser behind the scenes that spits an item onto a pressure plate. Since that item was dispensed at the same time as the fish in the tank, when it despawns and stops holding down the pressure plate, it's time to restock the tank (and shoot out another item to hold down the pressure plate). Because item drops despawn after five minutes, the system can go forty‐eight real‐time hours before the dispensers need to be refilled, assuming they were full to begin with. |
