Why Minecraft Players Built a Real Life Supercomputer

Ойындар

What's the best way to find a cactus in Minecraft? If you answered "Build a supercomputer and check every single seed in existence on a supercomputer running a program that takes over 1 year to finish" then you'd be correct!

CORRECTION
I don't know how I missed this, but the naive approach definitely wouldn't require 200,000 seeds per second, I meant 200,000 seeds per day. Not really a big issue but a couple people pointed it out.

    Mathematicians wastes time on useless concepts all of the time. When “i” or √-1 was first introduced in 1545, everyone back then thought it was just a nice curiosity without any practical application or even straight up nonsense. We know now that it’s one of the building blocks behind how the internet works (FFM) and the basis for quantum physics but back then it was considered practically useless by almost everyone Give it a few centuries (or a few decades seeing how fast technology is advancing) and a use will come out of this outside of Minecraft Edit: Actually considering the nature of the Information Age today there’s probably already 10 projects that uses the code of this to do other stuff

There's still lots of cool things for individuals to find on their own, in both new and old minecraft versions. New challenges or speedruns brings new computations potentially needed.

    if someone does invent 4 chunk finding that would increase the record significantly. Based on what you told me, with only one chunk, the theoretical wr is 30. ut with two chunks next to each other, the next highest is 60, and of course with 4 chunks being next to each other, the highest possible cactus would be 120 blocks

    There's probably code reasons why it can't get anywhere near this, but very naively, theoretically, since each chunk can generate up to 10 cacti, and each cactus can be up to 3 blocks tall, and up to 4 chunks could bleed into each other, there could be a natural cactus somewhere out there in the Minecraft multiverse that's 120 blocks tall. Even though that's probably way off, I am interested in what the current theoretical upper bound for Big Cactus is.

    from what i understood from the code, each cactus also tries to generate 10 times before giving up, but it can choose air blocks to try to generate in because the code doesn't know what the terrain looks like until it checks if a block is valid for a cactus. I didn't illustrate that in my video for the sake of simplicity though so I can see the confusion

    So, ignoring the trivialities of such as the seed existing, what is the hypothetical highest cactus that could ever generate? Can failures to generate cause cacti generation to navigate multiple chunks? Are there any structures that include cacti to potentially stack standard cacti generation on? Has cacti generation changed at all in different versions in a way that would make different heights possible? What about any April Fools update things like Snapshot Infinity?

    its like theoretically possible that all 8 surrounding chunks could generate every cactus in the center of the 9th center chunk that the center chunk also generates to be really big and from a sand block at the bottom of a ravine at y=1 and create a sky limit cactus but the chances of that existing are so close to 0
