The video shows a first-person view of a player in Minecraft placing blocks and items in a specific order to create a contraption. The player places a white block, then a green block, and repeats this pattern. They also place a piston, a dispenser, and a lever. The player then activates the lever, which causes the piston to push the green block, which in turn pushes the white block. The player repeats this process several times, creating a simple but effective contraption.
