  1. You’re wrong. The heaviest block is the netherite block. It needs 36 gold ingots, and we can assume that ancient debris is bones because its basically a rock version of soul sand, so it’s basically:
    36 gold bars and 36 bar sized bones

  2. I suspect that No Man's sky and Dwarf fortress could theoretically be as big if not bigger defending on what we're measuring but, as a programmer, comparing the sizes of procedurally generated universes is a bit silly when anyone could just as easily go ahead an and make something with more bits of complexity. It's not some ultra difficult achievement, it's just a number they picked at the start of the project and went with. Super well done video though!

  3. yes… yes… inches… like the metric only few knows
    😀 thanks god you used "meter" also as the rest of the world! Good job with video 😀 Looking forward to minecraft movie

  4. tbh, a netherite block is heavier than a gold, not even accounting for the potential weight of ancient debre, because one netherite ingot takes 4 gold ingots. that means, at minimum, a netherite block is 4x times heavier than a gold block.

  5. Ayy, We droppin that minecraft size video! Hell yeah.
    I know that mass and kilograms size Texas Math style
    V= 25.5 decillion cubic kilometers
    M = 21.9 quattuordecillion kilograms
    See gang, i know this calculation!

  6. What? Dude the minecraft world is 0.00038Ly across, and the reason you move through the overworld faster via the nether is the same reason you'd move faster if you used a wormhole. It's not more space you add on, it's orthogonal space. Even if you actually add up all the space from all three dimensions, AND multiply nether, you still won't even come close to 25ly. What you've done here is inflate the size of the numbers by counting repetition.

    Did you know that MILLIONS of those seeds are completely broken? So you can't actually use those, it's not 2 to the 64 worlds. Then there are millions more that actually just repeat the same tiled chunks forever in X, Z or both. So forget those. Then there's all the various seeds where it's literally impossible to play, because you spawn in lava or some other impossible situation.

  7. Funny thing, i believe i heard multiple times from different games/studios claiming thay created "ThE bIgGeSt OpEn WoRlD". But they lied. They all are just a tiny bit from what Minecraft is.
    Other than that, i dont even play minecraft nor do i give a fxck about it.

  8. When you said that steve can jump 1.25 blocks and then told me what that is in inches, and how high michael jordan can jump.. i wish you'd have converted that to minecraft blocks, because i have more intuitive understanding of talking about minecraft blocks than inches.

  9. you forgot the netherite block who is heavier then the gold block because it take 9 ingots of netherite to make one block but it takes 4 gold to make one ingot so netherite is heavier then gold

  10. I am NOT saying, Wren should leave Corridor.
    But if he started his own channel, where he regularly uploads such a video, I believe he would have a very fine single career going, which starts at a high point instantly and would probably gain millions of subs within a couple months. I'd certainly instant sub without a second thought.
