Computer chips have become so tiny and complex that it's difficult to recall the real physical principles that drive them. They aren’t just a collection of ever-increasing numbers. tecelana.com For a practical (well, virtual) example, look up the most recent version of a computer processor that is built exclusively inside the Minecraft game engine.
Minecraft builder "Sammyuri" spent seven months developing what they call the Chungus 2, an enormously complex computer processor that is in the Minecraft game engine. This project isn't the first time that a computer processor has been virtual rebuilt in Minecraft however, the Chungus 2 (Computation Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit) might very well be the biggest and most complex, based on an 8-bit processor with a one hertz clock speed and an adabyte of RAM.
Minecraft processors use the physics engine used in the game to recreate the design of real processors on a large scale and with the use of materials like redstone dust, torchers, pistons, repeaters, levers and other machines. To give you a sense scale, each block in Minecraft is one virtual meter in diameter. This means that it would be roughly the same size as an airplane or a skyscraper if the build were to be recreated in the real world.
When connected to an in-game 32x32 "screen" and "controller" (manipulated by a Minecraft avatar that jumps on buttons of the size of blocks) The Chungus 2 can play interchangeable 2D games such as Tetris, Snake, or even a graphing calculator. Some programs need the Minecraft server to be artificially sped up in order to make the processor fast enough to use. Every program is developed virtually in Minecraft connecting to the computer like an arcade game cartridge that is the size of an entire freight train.
This project is a remarkable example of computer science in action. It's implemented in a way that makes its principles immediately and visually. The video showcasing the Chungus 2 is dramatic enough, but if you want to test it yourself you can download and run it on your personal server at mc.openredstone.org. If we hold off for a few years, we might just obtain a Minecraft CPU that is capable enough to run Minecraft at which the universe is likely to collapse.
