you’re hot

he really outplayed himself and won

"Saying kill myself would get me demonetized" was the true outplay Wifies did for his future self.

I noticed both the redstone AND the fact that he started with only 12:30 on his starting time, and yet I still did not expect the counter-stasis

Wifies literally feels like a protagonist in the first part yet truly an antagonist in the last

Is it just me or is it that you could just set up the ender pearl chambers for every single minute giving "present" wifies only one minute to do anything or is that just impossible?

That ending was such a roller coaster of emotions

You could have done multiple stasis chambers across the bottom of the world at the chunk border and had them all set for different times, preventing use of a stasis chamber.

Hear me out: Go to multiple places near the World border and place stasis chambers set to 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, and so on to 14 minutes. Do everything else the same. Then, not only would future you have to set up a horrendous amount of stasis chambers to combat it, but you would have only that small amount of time in between interruptions where you could actually go to the box and attempt the trap.

That was one of the best minecraft videos i've ever watched. The plot twistes in the video made it feel like an actual movie. Amazing Job Wifies

0:41 Real talk though, this shulker-like build actually looks kinda sick.

i'm supposing actually you could have gone a LOT harder with those traps in the end. if you arranged 30 traps set to go off every 30 seconds, even with perfect planning, you just couldn't set up a stasis chamber in time to even get past the first one. it would cave been perfect

the fact that you made yourself two separate characters is awesome and insane, idk who i was rooting for but this was a banger video!

Holy this was such a rollercoaster of emotions, really a cinematic experience, thank you so much for making this

I was wondering what the redstone hotbar was for, and yet I STILL didn't anticipate the double twist ending. Bravo

Wtf your ideas are so out of the box and unique, i just found you from your steve lore video and was blown away that no one has proposed that idea you had, and here i am again experiencing the same thing, i think this is a question everyone has but they dont know it, and somehow you found it, you are amazing

13:40 I noticed the assortment of redstone and items in your hotbar, and the amount of time missing off the timer at first!

this is honestly one of the most creative minecraft videos iv'e ever seen

Past wifies should have just made stasis chambers at the worldborder timed for every single second

I love the video! One problem with it is that everything EXCEPT for the last part was a trap. Like, they were just a few arenas with one correct one. Besides that the video was awesome! Keep up the good work!

13:32 Meanwhile, the stasis chamber explodes behind him

The true ending is Wifies walking outside, saying "no chance" and in the same second stepping on a landmine.

I think there is a way to defeat your future self. Instead of using one stasis chamber, use more. With one teleporting you every minute, giving you even less time. Still avoidable ? Then create so many of them that can't do anything between the teleportations. All past wifies would have needed was to set up a chain of events that would lock it's future for 15 minutes.

This is a man's battle of wits with himself and it's about as convoluted and entertaining as you'd expect.

Bro, for real, I've been only hearing this vid, as I'm playing myself as of watching it. But the suspense you create in this storyline, even though its a paradox concept, is unreal. Take the sub, thank you for the entertainment.

The crazy thing is that no matter what he does he will always lose and always win

future wifies is just reverse flash "im always one step ahead"

wifies is 100% the type of guy to sabotage himself so he can win later

im sure if you make a very very long and detailed trap you will eventually forget some parts of the trap and would die while trying to steal the diamond block

How to trap yourself: 1. Make the trap 2. Do something to make you forget what you just did 3. Get trapped Edit: no way he actually said that in the vid

The main restraint here is time. You get as much prep time as you want in creative, but only 15 mins in the attempt. Spend forever making enough for one to go off every second of the challenge. To counter it with your own stasis chambers you'd need an hour, or if you just try to time a single chamber for the last second then you'd only have a split second before hitting that 15 min mark. Unless there's a way to prevent your own ender pearls from affecting you completely

Wifies: “Cuz saying, killing myself would get me demonetized” Also wifies: *says it*

now that i think about it simply building the entire trap as far away from the spawn chunks as possible could have given past wifies the win, would have taken too long to make a chunk loader

4:31 Hey Vsauce Michael here!

honestly this is actually a mind-boggling concept and it's crazy how u carried this out. Kudos

12:18 "there is nothing we can do"

Potential strategies: 1. Explode the diamond block instantly, guaranteed draw. 2. Teleport to world border instantly, guaranteed draw. 3. Teleport to instant damage potions a few times, guaranteed win. You did okay, but you can do better.

DUDE as soon as I heard him explain that he set himself a trap at the world border and was going to loose I was like "dude just make a second stasis chamber" AND THEN HE DID!!! WHAT A LEGEND WIFIES ON TOP!!!

How to win: 1) random just more then you did 2) a box that takes too long to break 3) maze you can’t remember a (high random number) times (high random number) big maze (Also what are the chances that you got the 4 room box and it’s the last one you search that haves the diamond block. Hmmm not buying it) Anyway great video it was interesting and fun to think about tricking your self

awesome video, although when using the instant hotbars at the start, you could have used unobtainable enchantments for your armor and tools i.e efficiency 255 (although you probably didn't need it)

Here's an idea! when making the world, just put the diamond block in a corner of the world, right at the world border so there is no way you could reach it in time, then make the spawn of the world simply be like a 3 block high obsidian box filled to the brim with wardens so that you just simply cant get out and will probably die, while your at it, fill the box with tnt minecarts as well. if he does get out he can try to get the the world border but there is no way hes getting there in 15 minutes

a bunch of ender pearl stasis chambers each set up at one second difference intervals all at different places on the world border so that the player is kept there no matter what until the 15 minutes are up

I think you had a point in the stasis chambers, as if you make them a random time each time and put them on repeat you can maybe create a truly inescapable trap. Edit 1: There is absolutely no way in this world I have just got almost 200 likes in this comment. Thanks so much!!

This is an amazing concept with an equally amazing execution, wow. It feels like it's impossible to make a perfect trap or a prison at that matter, because for every powerful means of protection you use, there are 10 counters for it. Just like in real life, you can't make impenetrable armor or an indestructible bunker, because destroying something human-made will always be possible.

Wifies: “this trap is gonna be possible to create in survival” also wifies: “using the world edit fill mod, I can randomize were the diamond block is placed” (btw wardens only spawn by naturly generated shriekers wich means the base would need to be made at an ancient city)

Wifies, that was hands down one of the biggest reverse plot twists I've ever seen in my life. Spoilers up ahead!!! At the start of your run, I noticed the random assortment of blocks and didn't think much of it for some reason. I knew it was odd but I quickly forgot about it with other thoughts and excitement crossing my mind. Then out of nowhere when you appear in the void, I genuinely thought you were done for. I couldn't think of a single way you could get back. Even through nether travel and an elytra you wouldn't have had enough time to make it back. But then finally, the big reveal that that "random assortment of blocks" came in clutch, I was utterly mindblown! This is one of the most challenging, creative, entertaining Minecraft videos I've seen in a very long time, if not ever. Props to you man, you had us all fooled in the end.

Your knowledge of Minecraft is insane! You know so much secret elements and glitches! I can’t believe you used so many elements just to trap yourself! I can’t wait for your next video! Your storytelling is also amazing!

This entire video is absolutely insane At the end, you could have also packed end portal frames so you could go through the portal and exit at spawn! :D

Wifies: Spends 10 minutes designing a complex vault to store a diamond block The invulnerable end crystal has left the chat. The prison community has left the chat.

This was an absolute rollercoaster ride of a video well done

That was one of the most cinematic mc videos I've ever seen! You know how to do it different, good job 👏👏👏

I've watched this video 5 or 6 times now. I genuinely think this is one of your best videos

This was actually really good, nicely done!

Its always a good day when Wifies uploads😊

You are demonetized 1:08 LMAO I love your vids❤❤❤

i have 3 trap ideas: A) make an extremely long, tedious, and randomized lock, that if broken into, or has the wrong combo, blows up the diamond block and destroys it. B)make a giant obsidian cube hundreds of blocks long with the diamond randomly placed with elder gardians sprinkjled throughout. you'd find eventually, but probably not before the timer ran out. C) make enough stasis chambers that the players gets teleported every tick of the hoppers

tbh I think you could've further strengthened each trap by using the multiple boxes thing mentioned in the video (many identical boxes with blue wool and only one with diamond block). This way 1) it would take a lot of time to find it unless you are REALLY lucky (so basically you would have to enter a bunch of times to re-mine every single box and since you got the 4 layer one, thats at least 36 boxes)... The reason it's such a good idea is because obviously entering so many times would cost time and to have to break so many, it's highly likely you would run out of time (since there's no limits to how many boxes you can put, it's not imaginary). Sorry for the long comment, good trap overall tho, thanks for the vid watched it before but forgot to comment this

I really enjoyed this video! Especially the reveal at the last quarter of the video. The void trap and everything else. Such a good video.

In saved hotbars, I saw hoppers that stored NBT data in the saved inventory. Couldn't you just put tons of shulker boxes with what you needed? It can clearly save modified items.

8:26 bro really made a mine sweeper 3d on minecraft 🤯🤯💀💀💀💀

Better solution: have a series of stasis chambers around the world that go off every 10 seconds. There would never be enough time to do anything.

Every time, I love how you push yourself to create a new concept for your videos. When I watch your videos, I genuinely feel passionate. I'm interested in what you do and publish. It's evident that you put real effort into your projects, always seeking to innovate. Even if the concept is already known, you produce the videos in a truly polished way, I must say. I'm not sure how to express my feelings exactly, but I just wanted to say that I adore your videos. Keep up the great work!

Does he know?

This is an amazing concept that I’ve pondered many times myself, and to see it executed is amazing, and you’re just the person I’d expect to do it. One thing I noticed though; you used world edit to randomise the diamond block placement, and you said it had to be possible to make in vanilla survival, or maybe just survival, I can’t remember what you said.

if you think about it, dessert temples already kind of do this. people are always getting blown up by them and most of them already know that there is a trap there.

this guy is geting smarter and smarter with traps

Im going to be honest, this was the literal best UKposts video I have ever seen. The editing was on point, it was an original idea, and everything about it was so fresh and it was really entertaining! Keep up the great work, your up there with the greats now.

Past Wifies could have designed the stasis chambers to go off only one second in, so future Wifies wouldn't have time to build a new chamber. And then built a series more stasis chambers, each set to go off a second or so apart, so even by returning to spawn by throwing pearls wouldn't be keep future Wifies there long enough. Alternately, the stasis chambers could've just brought Wifies into End Crystal traps that shred his health and armor too fast for him to react.

Great video but one question... if you put an enderpearl stasis chamber to teleport you into the void in every world, that wouldn't work. It wouldn't work because if you leave the world and join back in after throwing an ender pearl it wont teleport you. The only explenation I can see is that you knew that it would be the 4 rooms world, so you only put a chamber in that world and made sure not to leave it! Even so it is for entertainment so its fine

3:37 say that to a bedrock player 💀

Wifies is such I great creator I wish he could post more but perfection takes time and I really like this PERFECTION

My idea here would be to abuse the 15 minute time limit you have. During setup, set up a ton of stasis chambers every 10/15 seconds or so. So essentially, you can’t stasis your way out of it, because you would just be getting teleported around. To kill the future player, just set up a stasis chamber that immediately dispenses a ton of harming potions

I was just about to comment: "but why wouldnt you make 2nd stasis chamber to counter it?" When i noticed he teleported again, and was near the box again... nice

5:29 WEEFEES? WEEFEES? I can't be the only one who's always said it the same way as wife, can I?

fantastic video man. the editing was immaculate, and I was engaged the entire time.

Ironically, trap uses the most dangerous mechanism: surprise; therefore it means that there is no way in the world that the trap would be effective without randomness and surprise.

Hey so theoretically the best way to trap yourself is to just use shulker boxes full of full books, or whatever that crash box is that effectively bans people, cover wherever you extend to disconnect in them and then no matter what you do when you boot up the world you’d crash, granted it’s still a draw but it’s better than losing,

I honestly don't know what is stopping him from making a massive obsidian cube that he wont be able to break into in the 15 minutes he is given

This guy needs more outside the boxes we need more crazy ideas

Here's how you win, you just make a giant obsidian block ( i'm talking thousands of blocks long and wide.) from the bottom of the world to world hight with the diamond block randomly placed somewhere inside. Impossible to beat in 15 minutes no mater what you do. :)

When your friend doesn't want to do an escape room against you, you gotta take it to the next level like Wifies and be two people.

Saying "kill myself" would get me demonetised ... Wait a second...

wow this was such an interesting concept. i especially loved the twist ending 😏

Idea (assumes you dont go around the trap), a 3 wide 2 tall tunnel with a pitfall trap, you have walked far into the trap, the triggers will be in the ceiling, tripwires with watching observers, if they break the walls, more observers, activate either the tripwires or the observers and you fall into either lava or pointed drip stone, heck you could have dripstone fall and all triggers (aside from wall watching observers) be on the bottom instead Edit: remembered that elytras exist to impede pitfalls and totems work against everything, so just multiply the trap to pop all totems and mix the drops and pitfalls together so your not safe on either side

However all you'd have to do to beat your future self is make the stasis chamber an inescapable trap that instakills you with TNT minecarts. Alternatively, have one every 30 seconds which prevents you from making a backup stasis chamber to save yourself. Or just do both, have a stasis chamber every 30 seconds each one intending to kill you.

my brain hurts man but this man is gonna success in the field of phycology btw great vid loved ur math and every word u said

Wifies outplayed a HARVARD STUDENT AS A HARVARD STUDENT *and WON!!! I have a newfound sense of awe now lmao*

Pretty cool video! Although I think there is a way that you could win. Spoilers for the end of the video: Seeing as stasis chambers to the void are a possibility, just make one that triggers before your future self can build one, at which point they either die because they fall to the void or they time out trying to survive, and that very much secures a tie in 15 minutes and a win in the long term because if they can't get out they will run out of elytra durability or rockets. Now, I'm aware this makes a terrible video but if the objective is to win for...present? past? idk, then this would very much be it.

the equation at 3:27 is very interesting. this notation of putting an exponent on a function means applying the function that number of times. f^2(x) = f(f(x)) applying a function a fractional amount of times doesn’t really make sense, and i find it to be a really interesting idea.

So who won? Wifies or Wifies?

I would argue that this doesn't really count, because all the traps are in completely different worlds. Now, if you were to make it randomize the same box with worldedit tools...

"I realize now that rank number one isn't an achievement, it's a prison which forces you to dedicate your life to defending a temporary title." All you have to do really to trap yourself is try to get number one in doing whatever; killing zombies, blocks walked, farming potatoes, etc.

Past Wifies: I set up a stasis chamber Future Wifies: Ctrl Z

Bro dropped the filthiest nastiest most disgusting transition at 5:21 and really thought we wouldn’t notice

You are genuinely one of the smartest minecraft players.

assuming its timed, cover the diamond in a box of 100 layers of obsidian and then make a stasis chamber to different locations on the world border every like 10 seconds or something

“Future me knows everything I know” “Well not necessarily” *Vsauce music starts playing*

I was actually thrown off cause I thought it was strange he didn’t just make another status chamber. AND THEN HE BAMBOOZLED ME PRESENT WIFIES NEVER LOSES.

13:06 pearl glitching

Honestly this isn't impossible because you can just get lucky and just happen to prepare for the correct trap. You limited yourself to 15 minutes so all you had to do was make the trap take so long that you will not be able to reach the diamond block in the specified amount of time. Edit: watched the rest of the video. This is great.
