Why Minecraft Will NEVER End! | The SCIENCE of... Minecraft

SUBSCRIBE to Catch all the Theories! ► goo.gl/kQWHkJ
We all know Minecraft is a BIG game. Not just in popularity, but in the scope of what you can do. You see, there are so many WAYS to play Minecraft... but how many? Would any one person ever be able to play every combination of the game in their lifetime? Today Austin is going to try to answer the question of "How BIG is Minecraft?"

Hi so I calculated 3 things he missed. MY BRAIN WILL NEVER RECOVER. If ur curious in what I got, I'll list it here as well as some things for people who have larger brain capacities than me. O, and the number DID change. -Item frames. just add all the types of items without accounting for stacks, and than do that to the power of 8, and bam. barly scratched the number. This next topic, though... -Maps. O my gosh MAPS. Skipping the complicated stuff, there are 973128256 possible maps, adding the different kinds of shades of colors it reads, and adding all the sizes, (128 by 128, 256 by 256, etc.) but we need to multiply that by 2 thanks to locator maps, and speaking of which, I'm gonna say the max amount of players that can be on a world at once is 2622, which was the largest amount i could find, add that, and i got 1946259134. But, we still need to make it that to the number of 31, (maps only rotate 4 times in an item frame,) and we have 9.2304011749936442677575054497359881993161522726436593146302... × 10^287 . add that into the slot for blocks, and, again, for blocks alone, went from 1.08 times 10^122 power is now 9.2304011749936442677575054497359881993161522726436593146302... × 10^287 !!! -and finally, he did bedrock seed not Java. easy fix, seriously thinking maps carried the team. Though mabie i'm an idiot. ADD IT ALL UP, and we go from 10^10^10^1.3134, to 2,93058 times 10^750!!! I have no idea HOW suggnificant this number is, but its bigger. INFO -someone else in the comments found that there are 10^10^24 combinations of book and quips. I don’t know anything else, if u think of something and wanna double check by all means. -as said, I found the most players on a world I could find was 2622, maybe u can calculate Enderchests. There are 17 shulker boxes, one normal, 16 dyed. Good luck. -armor and tool duribility is where I gave up, but there’s also enchanting and dyed leather. EDIT u don’t add 2622 onto the maps, since that don’t just stand there. Idk how to calculate that tho. Also, if I got anything wrong, I’m sure u’ll correct me

Mobs can hold and wear equipment. Also taming wolfs, equipping any mount, and many more, maybe 100 mobs dying in the same block at the same time, you have to account for the different parts of the death animation, etc. basically you aren’t even close to the true number that should be called the Minecraft universal constant yet.

[@goldengear3129]

no. as far as i can tell; in the entire equation there is only one odd number, the rest are even. that means the result HAS to be an even number, and since the only even prime number is 2, that would make the minecraft universal constant a non-prime even number. but all of that is meaningless seeing as how you have to multiply other numbers than one and the MUC itself together in order to GET to it. that would make it a non-prime. (i forget what the opposite of a prime is.) but there you go. mystery solved.

@@mihaiioc.3809 Ehm, no. Entities that contain items have billions of times more states than what you said. Take for example an entity called minecart with chest, it can be at any point of a block, height of the block and direction. Add rails to it. Then there are 17 kinds of dyed shulker boxes, any of which can be renamed in an anvil, which can be tossed to ground as an item (so practically entity). Any slot can contain any item and it can be renamed, and it can be a map, which can be renamed, and it can be a book, or a book and quill, which also can be renamed, or a map, or a sword, which can be renamed, can be enchanted and can have different amount of durability (1 to a couple thousands). Btw there are players (~2600 in a single world) which can have different names, skins (any pixel of a skin can have billions of different shades, and there is a lot of pixels), capes, different inventories of the players, ender chest contents, which can have different shulker boxes in the different containers/inventories. Players can wear 1.2 millions of variants of dyed armor (which can have different enchantments, names, durabilities). Player can fill his inventory with shulker boxes, which are able to be full of different kinds of armor and dyed armor.
