Crafter Crafts Minecraft Within Minecraft

[LilithSlave]

This topic was not dying for an "Inception" joke at all. Especially not in the first response.

Nope.

 

[The Great JT]

You've created a paradox!

 

[Lizardon]

Nobody else noticed that the video title is misleading? He actually created a computer within Minecraft that plays Terraria.

That's exactly what I thought.

Now if only Terraria could play Minecraft...

 

[James Raynor]

But can the simulated minecraft simulate minecraft?

 

[Kanatatsu]

these hardcore minecraft dorks always manage to make me feel pretty stupid. :\

I can't help but feel as if someone just discovered 30 year old computers and suddenly felt inputting machine language by hand is fun. Weird.

That's interesting but as always I am left wonder what would happen if you took that energy and put it into a programming/creation techniques that is "useful" in the real world as opposed to just to Minecraft players. (Oh yeah and technically since Minecraft is running in Java on a JVM onto of your OS, this seems silly to me).

Honestly? Not much probably given that most of what is being done with redstone is retreading the basic techniques that people learned 50 (or more) years ago. I mean, it's amazing work, but as far as practical application, about as useful as a guy who specializes in hand-made swordsmithery is to modern metallurgy.

Yeah but knowing the basics of how a computer is structure and put together in abstract makes you perfect for working with Assembly and integrated circuits. Different techniques to make the item but the same theory. Replace redstone with wire and pixels and add some electrical work and he could have made a handheld game from scratch. It's not practical in itself but if that knowledge was applies to the actual field I'm sure those skills could be useful. (Even if we use high level stuff in electronics today somebody still has design the circuits).

All it needs now is a Liquid Crystal block and we'll be able to get ACTUAL pixels onto this bad boy!

Next project: Duck hunt!

liquid crystals? all you need is differently colored torches!

I cant even get a silo door to work, and this guy builds a computer WITHIN a computer game WITHIN a computer. :<

BWARMMM BWARMMMMMMM BWARRRMMM BWARRRMMMMMM.

Neat..although I wonder what this guy does professionally.

Yo Dawg, I heard you like MInecraft, so we put your Minecraft in your Minecraft so you can mine while you mine.

But seriously, the things some people can do in terms of programming is amazing, especially when it gets down to this sort of level. However my brain is hurting trying to comprehend it all :S

programming is amazing. this is down right witchcraft. he made a GAME using nothing but redstone wires! thats like designing an analog computer out of pebbles

 

[thirion1850]

Next time: Minecraft within Minecraft plays Minecraft!

There's never enough minecraft.

 

[steeple]

but can it play minecraft in minecraft, inside minecraft?!

 

[Notsomuch]

These people are not going to rest until they have made a minecraft computer that can use linux.

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Woah, I was wondering how he made the screen and then I found out!

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I'm still getting double doors to work... I'm pretty sure you get a million dollars and a prize if you create a machine inside of a machine that is more powerful then the machine its running on.

 

[standokan]

Wow everytime I think "they can't make something more awesome" and then something like this comes along.

 

[Aardvaarkman]

The article is misleading where it says it is a computer that can *play* Minecraft within Minecraft. That would imply that it is a computer that is able to manipulate the game it is running in. But it's not. It's just a simple mini-game constructed within Minecraft. It requires human user interaction. So, while it might be possible to *run* a simple game within Minecraft, this "computer" can't *play* anything.

 

[LostTimeLady]

This is pretty darn sweet (I watched the tour of the inner workings too).

What a guy, this is amazing. I love minecraft for things like this. It puts even my most ambitious projects to shame. And I don't mind in the slightest.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

Even though I have enough engineering skills to make something similar, I always feel stupid after watching this kind of videos.
I suck at space management to do this.

 

[Critterbot]

Now to create a computer that plays minecraft within minecraft within minecraft...yes I'm horrible.
