The History of Minecraft's Super-Computers

[@sammyuri]

Creator of the CHUNGUS 2 here. Really enjoyed the video! I do have a couple nitpicks: - All of mattbatwings' creations, while extremely impressive, are not actually CPUs as they are dedicated to run one particular game/purpose - There have been quite a few other CPUs built in the period after the 1.5 update before the QCPU that use techniques such as pipelining to achieve very high clock speeds (>1Hz), although these aren't particularly well-known as they didn't run many meaningful programs Other than that, very well researched!

[@jubuttib]

Hmmm, I don't think we really were all that concerned with our CPUs overheating back then if I recall... Pentium 3s were the shizz back then, and they even came in slot form factor without any cooling (some with passive heatspreaders, etc.). All in all I can't remember there being much of a hullaballoo about it back then. Well... I guess late in 2000 the Pentium 4 did come out, and those babies were HOT HOT HOT. So the hypothetical person saying this is an early adopter, I assume?

[@nikkiofthevalley]

I've been working on a CPU in Logisim (Evolution) for a couple months now, it's gone a lot faster than when I tried to do it fully in Minecraft. I would suggest trying that, as it allows you to make the actual architecture a lot faster, as you don't have to figure out how to make the circuit you want, figure out where to put it, and then paste it in. Instead you just grab the component from Logisim (Evolution)'s libraries. Of course, you still have to eventually figure out how to convert the components into actual logic gates and circuits, but actually designing it goes a lot faster this way.

Creator of the Redgames (and Commandore 32) here. Some notes: I know most of the original downloads for the Redgame 1/2/3 and Commandore 32 are probably dead now, but if you want some of the old world downloads I'd be happy to provide them. There's manuals/programming guides for how the architecture works of each of them and a couple demo programs for each, but indeed not all that many people wrote programs for them. Regarding 8:30 : I can't speak about other redstone computers, but all Redgames including the first had the functionality to display arbitrary pixels from code, including 'hardware acceleration' for things like horizontal/vertical lines, and hollow and filled rectangles, all in 2011. Later redgames increased the resolution, and the Commandore 32 added resolution, color and 2 extra screen buffers (using command blocks though). Regarding 10:00 : Again, I hate to toot my own horn, but for reasons of historical accuracy I'll just point out that the Commandore 32 I built in 2014 had the same functionality several years earlier. Also a custom programming language (/compiler/assembler) with tools to upload it using minecraft console commands. Admittedly this is a command block based computer so it could be argued it isn't "true" redstone, but nor is a compiler outside of minecraft so eh.

[@HellCastleYT]

Thanks for the offers to share world downloads and all! The external compilers count because they make a pastable redstone schematic which can be recreated by just placing those blocks manually - its just a time saver. Otherwise command blocks dont count because pixel addressing is quite a bit easier with those and its not comparable to real life engineering. Still impressive either way!

The cool thing is that this is pretty accurate to real life too. Started out very slow with limited technology, then evolved to be faster, bring more features and functionality, and finally be more compact. Still, there seems to be a current limit due to how fast vanilla redstone is in Minecraft, and in real life there is the physical limit of process node shrinks, albeit these two are not directly comparable. This is really cool

Minecraft Computers are still a level of technical wizardry that awes me to this day, even knowing the basic "building blocks" required to making it work its magical to see a working computer, running in a game, build manually by often by hand.

[@admiraldesto2170]

I have no idea what’s going on, but I can tell just by the tone of voice and editing that this had a lot of passion put into it. Well done.

[@karachter]

It's crazy how with just a bit of research on how these things work, you can start to work with at least basic binary, I built a machine that if you inputted binary, it would output the number associated with that binary in the form of a certain lamp with the number on it, super simple to learn and build and only took me a week using a slow crappy mac with only a trackpad

[@Rudxain]

I think you built a multiplexer that converts binary to unary. If I understood correctly, your machine takes an array of bits, and sends a signal to a lamp whose distance from the left (or right, depending on how it's built) shows the desired unary numeral. Multiplexers are the basis of RAM addressing, specially if the RAM is huge. Modern computers use "chained" (serial) multiplexers to address memory as if it was a 2D array/table, instead of a 1D line of bytes. This makes the circuitry more compact while preserving the speed and only adding a little bit of latency

[@karachter]

@@Rudxain i definitely understood every word you said

[@Rudxain]

@@karachter is that sarcasm? Then sorry lol, I'm sometimes bad at explaining. What I meant by "chained" is that 1 multiplexer is used to select a full row of bytes from RAM, creating a "fake" memory whose size is the square root of the original memory. This "new" memory is so small that it makes it easy for the other (2nd) multiplexer to select a single byte. If computers used a single multiplexer, *every* byte in memory must be directly connected to it, making the chip EXTREMELY large. Think of it like this: if you have a book without an index, and you want to search for a phrase, the most efficient approach is to find the page by looking at nearby page numbers (that's assuming you know the number you're looking for), then you read the page to find the phrase. That's basically "chained muxes". If you were to search the same phrase by NOT reading page numbers, but rather identifying pages by their content, it would be slower but still kinda fast since you're doing a "binary search". The slowest approach is to read the book sequentially (in order) from the very beginning, without jumping pages, that's extremely slow, since you can't "teleport" to a page like you used to. That's the opposite of RAM and it's called sequential memory for that reason, (RAM has direct access to any "random" byte)

[@hiddenguy67]

@@Rudxain how do you even make a cpu in mc its a bunch of redstone???

[@Rudxain]

@@hiddenguy67 redstone can send pulses that represent binary data, and it has been demonstrated that using torches and other blocks you can make ANY logic gate that has already been done IRL. CPUs are just a bunch of logic gates arranged and connected in a specific way (Flip-Flop circuits are also made of logic gates, but self-connected, to store persistent data), that's why computers are possible in MC, even though they're extremely big and have low computational power. Also binary computers are THE EASIEST to build, specially in MC. If someone were to make a "practical" *ternary* computer, I would definitely be impressed, because that's almost impossible with just redstone

[@suspense_comix3237]

I remember making a PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) using Redstone in Minecraft PE around 2014 to 2015. It couldn’t be erased, meaning that every bit had to be erased via accessing the internals of the machine and breaking a few blocks to reset the machine. It also had 2 Addresses which could store 2 Bits each and you could access each Address. It didn’t use any LOGIC Gates either.

[@floppij5572]

A while back I found a way to store data in a loop of comparators. Data was stored in a serial looping signal. I used it to store images. I was slow but it was super easy to make it able to store a lot of data since you just made the loop bigger. I also made it so you could save multiple different files that were identified by different strengths of redstone power. Didn't ever implement it into anything crazy but it was an interesting concept.

[@jurisjancevskis9076]

It is programmed entirely in-game via an interface. The shift and bitwise operators were made in mind of performing multiplication and division. The biggest downside is that it runs at 0.05 Hz [rip]. I based it on Ben Eater's 8-bit breadboard computer series, with plenty of upscaling and new components.

On the topic of non-redstone computers, you now have people like peterjiangTW making water computers, and ictogon's lava and water adder... the fact people make computers out of all sorts of things in Minecraft, as impractical as they are, is very amusing. I remember some advancements in ALU's back in 2012 using pipelining to make CPUs a bit faster, though, I don't know if any computers were completed. Also, on command block computers, while a bit out of topic, there are very impressive things like MrSquishy's Pokemon Red which runs in real time.

The graphing calculator and the Tetris are the most impressive to me. Damn
