It's a toy CPU that's perfect for learning. It's about to be part of Notch's new game (he created Minecraft). So it's a great combination of fun + educational. Honestly, I'm surprised no one has made one of these CPUs in Minecraft yet. I can guarantee that it's possible.
In other words, this has a lot of people excited about a game that doesn't even exist yet. Oh, and given the popularity of Notch's games and the buzz for this one, I'm sure that a few people will manage to turn a tidy profit based on their fun. There are more than a few highly popular Minecraft websites, YouTube channels, etc. So there are a lot of things that appeal to hackers. It's a great toy system to play with, it's going to be an important part of an interesting game, etc.
Note that some people have already learned about electronics by building redstone circuits in Minecraft. It abstracts away everything but the logic, so it's a fun way to play with logic gates and whatnot to build something interesting. For example, I have a giant circuit hooked to a redstone clock to periodically flood the spawning pads of the gigantic mob grinder that covers my base camp and increase the number of items I get. It's enormous, but not particularly exceptional by Minecraft standards. It does help me produce a lot of TNT, though. I put a record player in the item collection room to pass the time.

- Natsu 15y agoI'll do you one better and give you the whole world: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ywsyy18qhening http://www.mediafire.com/?6ywsyy18qhening Note that it's in the new format. I deleted the parts in the old format to make it smaller. The mob grinder is the huge thing in the sky. The items fall into a room in the upper level of the house.
- i386 15y agoAwesome! Can't wait to give it a go :)
- Natsu 15y agoLet me know what you think :) There's a lot of stuff in there and you may see that I'm a bit OCD about labeling things. I doubt most people have a sign marking the bedroom. But everything else in the house has a sign, so... If you're wondering, that railway leads to the dungeon with the end portal. The dragon is dead and his egg warped into the end portal back before I could collect it. Sorry about that. I'm not quite clear on whether I could just delete the region files for the end and make it all respawn, but I might want to try that some time. There's also a fairly complete map of the area centered on the house in a chest upstairs at the end of the hall. And there are a few random outposts in dungeons. If you ever get lost, there should be lots of markers pointing the way home.
- i386 15y agoFYI There is a bukkit plugin that allows you to duel the dragon as many times as you want.
- Natsu 15y agoInteresting. Might have to look that up sometime. Hope you've enjoyed my world, even though I know it doesn't hold a candle to some of the fancy creations out there. But hey, I do have a collection of every single color of sheep, neatly sorted into pens :)
