Computer chips have become so tiny and complex that it's hard to recall the real physical laws behind them. They aren’t just a collection of ever-growing numbers. For a practical (well, virtual) example, check out the most recent version of a computer processor that is built exclusively within the Minecraft game engine.
Minecraft builder "Sammyuri" spent seven months building 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 a computer processor has been virtually rebuilt within Minecraft, but the Chungus 2 (Computation Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit) might very well be the largest and the most complex, as it simulates an 8-bit processor that has one hertz clock speed and an adabyte of RAM.
Minecraft processors utilize the physics engine used in the game to recreate the architecture of real processors on a macro scale and with the use of materials like redstone dust, torchers, repeaters, pistons, levers, and other simple machines. To give you a sense the size of the game, each block in Minecraft is a virtual millimeter in size. This means that it's about the same size as an airplane or a skyscraper if the build was to be replicated in the real world.
When connected to an in-game 32x32 "screen" and "controller" (manipulated by a Minecraft avatar player jumping around 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 sped up to make the processor fast enough to use. Each program is built in Minecraft, plugging into the computer like a game cartridge the size of an entire freight train.
The project is an incredible application of computer science in action, developed in a way that makes its concepts tangible and clear. cobra planet The video showcasing the Chungus 2 is dramatic enough and if you'd like to test it yourself you can download it and run it on your personal server at mc.openredstone.org. If we put off a few years, we might just acquire a Minecraft CPU that's capable enough to run Minecraft, at which point the universe will probably implode.
