A redstone PC in Minecraft to play Minecraft inside Minecraft (2022)
- kidfiji 3y agoThis isn't running in real-time, per note from the creator in the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I): --- Would like to clarify a few things: - This build does NOT run in real time. It runs on MCHPRS, the server developed by StackDoubleFlow, which speeds up the game roughly 10-20,000x while running redstone. That brings the framerate to a much more reasonable 0.1fps, so the long timelapses in the video only took 9 hours to record in total. - The world download currently in the description is non-functional for two reasons: in order to prevent content thieves such as Steveee immediately stealing it and making a profit, and also because Uwerta and I are currently improving the GUI system to be more similar to normal Minecraft (there's some dissimilarity in how items are moved around in the inventory). I'll update this comment when we release a functional download. - If you want to learn more about how it works, a brief explanation video is in the description, and that one has links to all the documentation including flowcharts for the GPU and other hardware, and the entire (commented) program itself.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoWho or what is Steveee?
- bloqs 3y agoThis comment is pasted from the YT comments. It seems Steveee is the latest in a long line of the most common type of content creator: a minecraft youtuber. He seems to just rehash other channels content and profits to the tune of 3.8m subs
- sbuttgereit 3y agohttps://youtu.be/EuC6kIxpyj0 https://youtu.be/EuC6kIxpyj0 This video talks about Steveee and some others; casual Minecrafters, such as myself can get great benefit in the game by following tutorials, seeing others builds, etc. Naturally, some people make a living developing and making this content (or a little on the side at least.) The low hanging fruit for someone without scruples is just to copy the content outright or the design... Then they can focus their time on publicizing their channel instead of the hard work of original content creation. It should be noted that using other's work, such as copying a design, is considered generally OK by the community so long as you credit where you got the design from with reasonable prominence.

- kingrazor 3y agoNot sure why you were downvoted. I laughed.
- jaimex2 3y agoYou get downvoted here if you don't post a thesis exploring the philosophical intricacies of the topic at hand.
- xk_id 3y agoGood! There are enough alternatives on today’s internet where you can go to meme and shitpost, if you are so inclined.
- GoofballJones 3y agoI don't know, I thought it was totally apropos. They're playing Mincraft inside of Minecraft. I'm just surprised it wasn't the very first thing commented.

- johnea 3y agoIt's Minecraft all the down...
- lostmsu 3y agoUp too.
- smrtinsert 3y agoChance of being in base minecraft just decreased substantially
- bitterblotter 3y agoMinecrafts all the day down
- collsni 3y agoRunning restone at 20,000 times speed
- hext 3y agoI feel like I’ve seen this headline at least 20 times over the last 5 years.
- rc5150 3y agoprobably trying to capitalize on the popularization of the full computer built in Terraria recently.
- xk_id 3y agoWhat i like about this sort of stuff is that it demonstrates how there is an uninterrupted sequence of deterministic layers, that leads from the empirical laws of the physical (or virtual physical) environment, through engineered hardware mechanics, and finally to software.

- imwillofficial 3y agoCan it play doom?
- iliaznk 3y agoFrom the description of the video: And yes, we will run DOOM on this hardware at some point, but projects such as these take a long time to create! After all, we are only 3 people working on this in our free time. Have patience until then :)
- imwillofficial 3y agoMissed that, thanks!
- elibailey 3y agoI found the Terraria version more impressive: https://youtu.be/zXPiqk0-zDY https://youtu.be/zXPiqk0-zDY
- Stevvo 3y agoThey are both incredible creations in their own right, but Terraria is certainly a more impressive game so I think it makes a better platform for it.
- dannersy 3y agoWow. This guy is going places.
- WastingMyTime89 3y agoI agree but I think that’s because the Terraria presentation focuses more on all the things done outside of Terraria rather than the game itself. It feels more like "I wanted to do something silly with arbitrary constraints and it made me encounter all these fun issues and build these interesting workarounds." Meanwhile, Minecraft videos are too often “Look at the cool thing you can do in Minecraft” which you like me probably don’t care about.
- shmerl 3y agoDid they actually write a Minecraft-like game for that Chungus 2?
- iliaznk 3y agoLooks like it.
- downboots 3y agoA project about building Earth in Minecraft was posted months back. It raises a question of how much of Earth we can model (as in approximation complexity, not state space complexity) with our computing today. To what level of resolution and expanse. With a threshold when the computer starts modeling itself. Is there proper terminology for these? Surely it must have already been thought of.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoDoes Minecraft have warping at the boundaries? Or would the model be a flat Earth, if you'll pardon the expression.
- lionkor 3y agoA flat Earth would be the "Minecraft way" of doing it. One could imagine building an actual 3D Earth, but it wouldn't be very large as the game probably isn't supposed to go NxNxN instead of NxNx512 or whatever the limit is. Doing it flat, the only limit is the hardware.
- gregjw 3y agoIIRC they split it across numerous maps and the parent server they build on swaps between servers based on the region you're visiting or working on. It's not just one big Minecraft map, but several stitched together.
- 7373737373 3y ago> With a threshold when the computer starts modeling itself That's a fascinating comment It would be great to have a list of systems where this already happened. With most neural nets, since they don't ever perceive the effects of their outputs on the world (only the effects of the last version perhaps, say GPT4 seeing/learning about GPT3 output and its effects on the internet), but for some reinforcement learning agents some level of self-awareness might have already occurred.
