Player Creates Working Computer in Minecraft

[Sinspiration]

As impressive as it is.. It seems a bit.. Stupid.. Its great to see that it can be done, but why? Why spend so much time of your life creating something like that in a game? In the end its about as amazing as it is dull. Is there some level of intelligence he's trying to prove? It's like geek overcompensation, congratulations, you can build a computer in a game, but will it ever really affect anything?

people who put that much effort into something as meaningless as this
are really wasting their talent
would you rather they blow the world up and crash the server with dynamite?
YES.

This game looks cool, but I know I wouldn't be able to do anything in it due to massive creativity deficit when it comes to physically building stuff. I'll just satify myself with watching everyone else's magnificent creations.

A. Wow. I didn't know you could blow the server out of existence.

B. Build a castle in a tree, a golden temple in a mountain side, a cart bridge over two mountains, a greenhouse suspended from an overhang, and a storage block in the ocean. There, I've given you two weeks of material. People who say "I'm not creative enough" haven't tried.

Yes. Imagine the great sci-fi novels we can get from this.

As it turns out, I now have another problem. A friend of mine came round and tried to download Minecraft so he could log in and show it to me - and it turns out my comp's graphics card isn't good enough. And I can't install a better one, because my ex-server can't handle it without repeatedly crashing. The one game that works on my PC is the 11-year old game Homeworld (which is admittedly the best game ever).

Needless to say, I was rather pissed.

hate those guys who clearly just imported a pic but claim to have built it

From the youtube video description:
The design was drawn up in a program called Redstone Simulator (does what it says on the tin), which was written by Baezon on the Minecraft Forums http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtop...

MCEdit ( http://minecraftforums.net/viewtopic.... ) was used to help clear off space and import the design into minecraft. Hours of experimenting with prototypes, modifications to the design, and debugging took place in the game itself, however.

Wow. Just... buy yourself a new $300 computer.

If only it were that easy. Still living with my parents, I don't have a spare £50 lying around, let alone £300. All my comps so far have been gotten for free, which is presumably why they're so shit.

XD 'You listening Pig?' at 6:00! Classic!

This is mind-blowingly impressive stuff. And extremely meta...

How do you....

A computer out of rocks and sticks.....

The project is far from complete as he plans to add RAM and registers to make it a legitimate computer.

And then port Minecraft to it.

But seriously, it's impressive work. I heard tell that this guy's getting job offers because of this.

LOLZ Make minecraft inside minecraft. That would be a game.

There's been talk. I gather it was called Meta-Minecraft.

well, that completly emasculated my castle.

 

[Cyberjester]

Nah, this is beyond any in game computer yet. Mainly the compiler.. He could theoretically implement "Brainfuck". ^ ^

I mean, computer in a game sure. But a compiler.. That's pretty cool.

Troll Reply: now if we have a computer in a computer we can have infinite computation on a very small amount of hardware!Also all we need to do is make allot of dirt,pigs, and red stone and shove it into the console and set it up in an infinite circuit and we can have infinite power too! HOLY SHIT MINE-CRAFT IS TEH BOSS OF PHYSICS.
