Average time required to build: 8-10 minutes (includes gathering materials)

Armour dispensary #2
1-block armour dispensary immortalized on Brottweiler's channel. It's actually 5x5x4, but I call it 1-block, because the dispensers are focused the same direction, so you don't have to walk on four pressure plates like in the previous design
Popularized/invented by: Brottweiler ❤️
Average time required to build: Not measured (includes gathering materials)
Resources needed: 1x stone pressure plate, 4x dispenser, 4x hoppers, 8x chest, some building blocks (I use glass for demostration purposes), 4x ladder, 4x sign

Iron blocks transporter
This mechanism is used to transport blocks, so we can mine them easier and faster if the iron supply is in an inconvenient place
Popularized/invented by: Cheetqh ❤️
Average time required to build: Not measured (includes gathering materials)
Resources needed: Some building blocks, pistons, sticky pistons, repeaters, redstone torches, redstone dust

In the last two screenshots, glass represents where the iron blocks should spawn

Elevator
An elevator! Brings you to the sky platform in the blink of an eye!
I won't record my own tutorial or describe this too much, because it is quite niche and likely to be destroyed very fast in an actual match, so I don't think many people are going to use it. Luckily, I got some screenshots from a chill match, where no one decided to destroy it
