I made it using minecarts and boats. Fun fact: minecarts are 11.2 pixels tall, meaning you can get โ of a pixel steps. (You can technically get a less efficient one by putting the minecarts on chains to get 10th of a pixel steps)
Geometry dash joke. Someone recorded themselves playing a level to verify it, but they had extra boost pads or something to help them win. They then removed these items from the level to upload it officially. To keep the number of objects the same between the cheat and real levels, they made this pattern of saws outside of the players view (probably not a specific pattern back then, just dropping then randomly). People found out, and now it's a joke for those who knows.
Give me a min, and I might find the name edit: they are the Devil Vortex saws
Basically, because the minecarts are 11 AND โ of a pixel tall, you can stack boats on different amounts of minecarts on various blocks to align a boat to any 5th of of pixel height you want.
The fences are to align the boats horizontally, and the leads are to make sure the boats don't push each other.
Yes. You can make every boat have a 10th of a pixel step using chains because the chain is 9 and a HALF pixels tall when placed sideways, so you can put the minecarts(11 and 1/5th pixels tall) on the chain to get 10ths of a pixel. But because you have to put them on chains instead of starting with any pixel height you want, it takes way more minecarts and boats to align it to a specific height
Using this method only gives access to increments of 128ths of a block, meaning the staircase would only be 50% longer. If you built this staircase from the bottom of the world to the build limit it would be about 67500 blocks long, nowhere near the length of a minecraft world
What are you talking about? The part of the video that has the float precision stuff is only for X and Z. The only part about vertical manipulation (the last 10 seconds or so) is about using one tick pulses to drop a minecart slightly, but that's only 1/128 of a block. Is there something else?
You can align a minecart to any position within the x and z of a block by moving it by 1/128th and halving its position- basically giving you access to every bit of its position individually.
If you put this minecart on a slanted rail, its distance along it will convert to the same amount of height, since rails are perfectly diagonal.

How many entities did you use and how long did it take for you to set it up?
