"Minecraft," Mojang's popular sandbox game, is home to a plethora of innovative projects. Enter a few keywords into YouTube, and you can get access to hundreds of fascinating "Minecraft" playthroughs. "Minecraft" developers have done some of the strangest and largest buildings in the game, and some even take delight in realistic builds.
Making computers and 8-bit games inside the game is also no longer impossible in "Minecraft," as developers who use Redstone, a "Minecraft" concept that allows for the construction of rudimentary devices, are now nearly unstoppable with their advanced projects.
In 2021, after a seven-month process, a "Minecraft" player developed a virtual computer that runs programs inside the video gaming tile. Over the course of several months, a "Minecraft" player known as "Sammyuri" created a virtual processor inside the game, which he eventually named the Cungus 2 or the Computation Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit.
Minecraft Redstone Engineers
Redstone is one of the things that makes "Minecraft" an interesting game platform. According to the game's Help Center, Redstone is one of Minecraft's more complex components. It may be obtained via mining a block of Redstone ore or looting from mobs and dungeons. Redstone can be found in various biomes on lower levels of the earth. Redstone ore is more likely to be found in caverns in cube-shaped veins.
According to Dummies.com, players can do a lot with Redstone circuits, such as opening doors, moving blocks with pistons, igniting explosives, and playing music.
"Minecraft" players employ Redstone as conductor wirings to carry impulses from Redstone power sources or switches to traps, lighting, and other in-game machines. Redstone makers have progressed to the point where they can use these basic "Minecraft" concepts to build intricate circuits and in-game computers that can be programmed to perform a variety of interesting purposes.
Making Minecraft in Minecraft
The same Minecraft creator that gave us the remarkable "Minecraft" computer in 2021 is back with an even more extraordinary feat. On Wednesday, Sept. 7, "Minecraft" Redstone engineer "Sammyuri" released a video demonstrating the process of creating a fully playable version of Minecraft inside Minecraft using only Redstone mechanics.
In a 3-minute video, the Minecraft creator showed us the 7-month-long intricate process of building thousands of Redstone circuits to build an 8KB program memory board, 256B worth of extra RAM, rows of Hardware acceleration units, 6KB graphics memory, and a lot more of complicated computer components build inside vanilla Minecraft without the help of Command Blocks, Data Packs, and also without a single Mod. The game creator even added a PS4-style controller for the game.
Sammyuri and his Minecraft engineering team were successful in creating a version of "Minecraft" that can support an 8x8x8 fully 3d-rendered world with 16 different block types, 32 different items, and plenty of game mechanics such as mining, crafting, smelting, building, chests, random ticks, and more. Each item slot can even carry a stack of up to ten objects. Sammyuri also posted a separate video explaining the process of building the Minecraft project.
If you are interested in seeing the build yourself, you can download the said Minecraft world here, but the creator emphasized that it will only be available for a limited time.
