July
FIREWORKS What it is: TNT Catapult Launcher - we shouldn’t have to tell you why this is fun. What you need: Sticky pistons Repeater
August
THE ONE WITH THE CHICKEN PRANK What it is: We call this the chicken cannon. Build one of these under your friend’s house to ‘deliver’ chickens directly to their living space. And who wouldn’t want that? What you need: Dispenser Hopper Comparator
Redstone dust Slime blocks As much TNT as you have. All of it. How it’s done: Dig a trench two blocks long and put a sticky piston facing upwards at one end. Cover the piston and remaining hole with slime blocks. Now wash your hands. Set up your dispenser full of TNT one block behind your slime blocks. Place one repeater (on three ticks) facing the slime, with another set to default, facing backwards. After the second repeater, place a block of your choice with another sticky piston facing forward. Stick a block of slime to that piston, then put your button on your dispenser. It should look like the picture above. Now when you push the button, your TNT pops up, gets pushed forward onto the slime block launching pad, and flings itself forward into the horizon. Magical!
Repeater Redstone A big tunnel Lots of chickens How it’s done: Set up a dispenser with a hopper on top and then build a chickeny prison around it with your block of choice. Glass works well, so you can see if any eggs are being laid into the hopper. Set up a tunnel between your dispenser and the home of your victim - build it far away and underground for maximum annoyance (if they can’t hear it or see it, it’s harder to find and destroy). Fill up the hopper cage with chickens. Place a comparator in subtract mode behind the dispenser, then a block with redstone on top, then a piece of redstone. Place a block over the comparator and redstone and a repeater diagonally opposite the comparator connected with redstone. Place a block behind the repeater and, if your dispenser has eggs in it, they should start firing out. Sit back and watch the baby chickens fly. You rotter, you.
