Computer chips are so tiny and complex that it can be difficult to remember the physical principles they are based on. They're not just a pile of ever-increasing numbers. For a real-world (well, virtual) example, check out the latest version of a processor for computers that was developed exclusively for the Minecraft game engine.
Minecraft builder "Sammyuri" spent seven months developing what they call the Chungus 2, an enormously complex computer processor that lives within the Minecraft game engine. This project isn't the first time that a computer processor has been virtually rebuilt within Minecraft but the Chungus 2 (Computation Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit) could be the largest and most complex, based on an 8-bit processor that has 1 hertz clock speed and the capacity of 256 bytes of RAM.
Minecraft processors use the physics engine used in the game to recreate the design of real processors on a macro level and with the use of materials like redstone dust, torchers, pistons, repeaters, and other simple machines. Flash Ants To give you a sense the size of the game, each block in Minecraft is a virtual millimeter in size. This means it's about the same size as a cruise ship or skyscraper, if this model could be recreated in the real world.
When connected to an in-game 32x32 "screen" and "controller" (manipulated by a Minecraft player avatar jumping on block-sized buttons) The Chungus 2 can play interchangeable 2D games like Tetris, Snake, or even a graphing calculator. Certain programs require the Minecraft server to be artificially accelerated in order to make the 1Hz processor efficient enough to run. Each program is built virtually in Minecraft, plugging into the computer in the same way as an actual game cartridge, that is the size of a freight train.
The project is an amazing application of computer science in action, created in a way that makes its ideas tangible and visible. The video showing off the Chungus 2 is dramatic enough, but if you want to see it for yourself you can download it and run it on your personal server at mc.openredstone.org. If we put off a few years, we could get a Minecraft CPU that's powerful enough to run Minecraft at which point the universe will probably collapse.
