| Apr 9, 2018 at 21:31 | comment | added | R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy | Of course, I did not ask for a link, I would make much more use of an explanation of the glitches abused and the redstone behind. | |
| Apr 9, 2018 at 21:31 | comment | added | R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy | @Fabian My search query has revealed a bunch of redstone schemes that were designed for previous versions of Minecraft and forum threads pointing out that all the glitches were fixed. To find a working solution myself I would have studied each of them very closely. Which means trying to recreate each of them in a testing world, making sure that I copy the scheme as in the video and that it is not my fault if it doesn't work. However, I suspect that if such a thing is possible and practical, someone has already done this before and found a working solution, hence I asked my question. | |

The rules state you can't ask for recommendations but people still think it's okay to do so. Asking how to do X is different than give me a link that shows me how to do X. | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:37 | comment | added | Frank | @Unionhawk So, we've been in agreement the whole time. | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:35 | comment | added | Unionhawk Mod | @Frank this is why I'm merely recommending an edit to the asker rather than making it myself | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:19 | comment | added | Frank | @Unionhawk It's the epitome of the XY problem, yes. But, again, changing that is changing the intent, and that's isn't something other editors can do. Call it a nitpick if you want. | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:17 | comment | added | Unionhawk Mod | @Frank that's an extremely technical nitpick and you know it. The difference between "how do I do this thing in a game" and "can you give me a link to show me how to do this thing in a game" is, in my opinion, meaningless. That said, I would recommend an edit to address this critique. | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:11 | comment | added | Frank | @Unionhawk Considering the asker wants a link to a working generator, that's literally what a recommendation is. That said, I've not voted to close in any sense; it seems borderline enough in the Minecraft space that I believe it's more in that line of expertise. | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 16:07 | comment | added | Unionhawk Mod | @Frank I 100% don't understand how this question is a recommendation in any way. I read it as asking if there is a way to build a sand generator in 1.7.10, and if not, how far do you need to back-version to build one. This is a fairly well documented glitch that exist entirely within the game, which to me, does not constitute a recommendation question | |
| Apr 7, 2018 at 13:34 | comment | added | Frank | An additional point is that asking us to find something that meets your criteria is a recommendation, and off-topic. | |
