The naturally occurring iron farm is like the real life example of a naturally occurring nuclear reactor they found. It was active for 5 million years.

using datapacks, you can set endermen to be able to pick up any block, combine that with carpet mod tick warp and maybe a command block clock to keep spawning them, you could possibly do such a deep time experiment as described in the end!
4 minutes in and the endermen are already the creepiest way a dormant world can change. Just randomly picking up and moving blocks, and then to a point where the ground is just no longer plain grass.
The idea of Endermen randomly shuffling blocks to create literally anything, given enough time, is basically the same as quantum mechanics shuffling particles around through random quantum tunneling events to create literally anything. An iron star. A Boltzmann Brain. An entire new Universe in the form of a singularity that immediately experiences a Big Bang.
it might be possible to somehow create logic gates with naturally generated blocks, using water mechanics or something. out of the totality of endermen creation could emerge computers, the game of life, minecraft itself, a simulation of the real universe...
@@theredsaurian oh it actually is! But the issue is quite simply that those logic gates rely on needing to open and close trapdoors, fence gates, etc. and they also rely on boats, which need to be placed by the player. But technically you can also do without all of those by just placing and removing a block to toggle which direction water will flow. Only issue with this is the fact that you can't make one logic gate then activate the next. I don't know whether endermen can pick up or place things like wooden pressure plates but if they can then I assume it would be possible for that to be done by using mobs that can't properly move against the water stream. The water can be placed anywhere vis endermen picking up and placing ice.
@@theredsaurian yep exactly, so regardless it would be extremely improbable. It'd be more likely for them to make whatever the computer was supposed to make directly compared to making a working computer that'd make the result I imagine.
Counter for your ending. The world could just as easily end up creating more and more blocks through cobblestone generation or through endermen continuously making and disassembling portals to the nether infinitely generating obsidian. Resulting in a future where everything is essentially a cobblestone/obsidian cube
It might be possible to determine which outcome is most likely by calculating the expected probability of each. Over time, the game is likely to converge towards this outcome.
@@chasetyler8690there would be multiple that an enderman could not touch, since they cannot touch water and would eventually remove all of the immediate blocks allowing them to remove it, so the reality would be a mix of the 2
Actually, there is one part of a Minecraft world that is always loaded regardless of if there is a player: Spawn Chunks. If you run the server jar by itself, the spawn chunks would always be loaded even with no players connected. If you could find a world where somehow the exact conditions for beating the game were all within spawn chunks, it may even be possible to have the game be beated in the actual game without any rule modifications
I might be wrong but I think it is impossible for an end portal to generate in the spawn chunks, because the end portals spawn in rings starting at ~1000 blocks away from spawn iirc.
@DialecticRed That would be correct, but that's only in the *latest version* of the game. Stronghold spawning didn't always work the way it does now; if you go on Minecraft 1.12.2 and use the seed -5362871956303579298, not only do you get an end portal right next to spawn (and well within the entity processing spawn chunks), the portal is already lit as well! Though I'm not exactly sure on how the end chunk loading works in 1.12.2... I think you can load a few chunks on the End side by just having entities pass through the portal? (Someone would need to test that though)
Thanks for bringing up the limitations of how mobs are processed in minecraft, since i feel like some people missed that point when watching original video. It actually isn't certain, that a 1.8 beta world would be destroyed, as lava meeting water can generate stone and cobble, allowing for more blocks to be created. However, i believe enderman can destroy fluids by placing sand obove them. Finally cold biomes already existed back in beta 1.8, allowing for ice to be created, which could be used to generate infinite oceans. Making it not that easy to tell, the ultimate fate of the world. This kind of speculation is pretty thought provoking, so i would be glad to see more videos covering that topic
Even if endermen have water production ability, they don't have lava production, so eventually all lava will be destroyed and the cobblestone supply will run out. Flooded bedrock plain?
Could you imagine a mod where every mob works together to beat the dragon before you? They’d probably need special abilities, like placing blocks and eyes of ender, building, using flint and steel etc. But it would be a nice counterpart to videos where certain mobs just carry the player through the game.
Ha, that sounds interesting! Maybe in such a mod, the changes to the dragon mentioned in this video would also be reverted, so that mobs other than creepers would be able to damage the dragon directly. Endermen could perhaps spawn holding eyes of ender, which they might replace with a block if they aren't near an End portal but could place if they are...
Rather than that, it's kinda inspirational. Anything is possible. You could technically fly by flapping your arms if everything goes right. (Or wrong). The chances are low. Very very low but never zero. Really makes you feel like you can do anything. Kinda maybe anything.
If the lava can be destroyed with gravel though, I feel like the fate of a Minecraft world would instead be a coin flip between a world full and random of blocks or a world perfectly flat with bedrock, depending on whether all lava is removed before all blocks are removed
10:21 this is an interesting concept but zoglins don't spawn in the nether. the only way to obtain one is a hoglin walking through a nether portal into the overworld and becoming one, like a piglin becomes a zombie pigman (zombified piglin). this is problematic because hoglins are scared of nether portals and run away from them, although you could argue the portal would spawn on one, but that can only happen once per portal.
or other circumstances might force them in, say if they fell into a hole with a Nether portal at the bottom and some lava or another mob pushed them into it
There's a lot of ways hoglins can be forced in, like falling from above... all they have to do is touch the nether portal frame blocks. Its just going to be a lot more rare. But even if it happens only once every 10 years across the entire minecraft world, with infinite time, that is a common occurrence.
@@kryptoniteW In theory with infinite time, one would wander into the end before it grows up because infinite time means everything will happen eventually. Right?
i would seriously love to see a small-scale version of this. like a world that's always night, modified to spawn endermen more often and get them to grab items more often, running in even just a few chunks. i would love to see the random things they build
There was an oversight on the video around 14:30 since foxes were added in 1.14, so there must be a player changing the version in order to an elytra being stored naturally, yet very interesting approach
Mean you could naturally envision a version of Minecraft where the Envisioned experience is everything that's ever been plausible in the game all at the same time, Now the only problem would be changes that Directly conflict with itself, for instance the changes to the Dragon
I guess being stressed by entropy is the most rational irrational fear. It won't affect you beyond the mundane daily effects, so you shouldn't be afraid of it, but it is after all the inevitable doom of the whole existence.
We are products of entropy. Entropy isn't just disorder but the end path of any and all energy transfer. A strange paradox, for anything to exist in this universe, it must eventually turn to nothing.
@@clocked0obviously we wouldn't know for sure, but like... No, probably not. Heat death means no useable energy. Nothing can happen. By definition a big bang emerges from a state of incredible density and heat. Lots of energy.

when 1.16 came out and speedrunners built magma ravines, i wondered if it was possible for a nether portal to naturally spawn and be lit. none of my friends irl or on discord understood me and said my question was stupid. but today I'm glad to see my thought experiments explored in this video
I dont think so. Its much more likely for a ruined portal to spawn naturally. The issue with magma ravines is that there is generally only a few layers of lava whereas a full portal needs about 5 blocks height
@@sileudies but would it be possible for at least 1 instance of a magma ravine without ruined portal to make a lit portal across every location in every seed?
I think this also misses that you dont need to dig to the portal. Mobs spawn in the strong hold and that can easily intersect with a ravine or a cave system and be exposed. It reduces the time needed significantly
True, but maybe the End portal being dug to, was necessitated for the set-up of Nether mobs being able to get there, & the fox eventually bringing the Elytra back to the surface/main world (or storing it in the hopper). EDIT: Oh, and so the Snow Golems could get to the End too.
as a note, a true super flat bedrock world is impossible, either 1 block of water or lava would have to remain in order for an enderman to die and lose its picked up block, so depending on the ordering, you could end up in a world where endermen can't survive in the over world because it's now all covered in water, or more amusingly but much less likely, lava.
Ah entropy, where the randomness is represented by the endermen moving blocks around Honestly this video remonds me much of my professor teaching us about the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and showing how with enough time passing anything is possible. The example my professor used was that apple in a box scenario, and this is basically that but with the minecraft world as the apple
Dude bro I am so glad someone thought of the same thing like I did, I actually wrote this comment, and then I found yours, my comment said, "This might as well prove that the universe was created by some super being in the 4th dimension, as a computer game for them, this is their game where we humans are just endermen. This also perfectly describes the entropy concept in our own reality, how things could go to disorder given enough time. This is just absolutely insane." Its actually insane. When you think about it the way given some very basic developpment initial state a whole state of universe can be created within a game, minecraft is like a 2 dimensional universe that we humans created. If 4th dimension exists this universe could very well be their video game.
This video just had me thinking about all the possible things that could happen in this universe given infinite time like a conscience being just appearing out of literally thin air or even just a brain that is able to contemplate its role in the universe and study the universe around itself. Also based pfp and username.
is the heat death just the universe running out of memory... i mean in games when you run out of ram your game would crash. oh wait the universe ceases to exist like if a game crashes to desktop.
@@slycooper1001 In our case technically the universe wouldn't stop existing but say given enough time a life form spontaneously came into existence there would be no way for that life form to know of our existence or anything if it spawns in a dark void otherwise devoid of energy. At that point it may as well from it's perspective have been the beginning of time when it spawned in.
I would love to see a TAS run of this. (With manually built seed and mobs pre-coded to do what they should do. And of course, have chunks needed always loaded.) This should be interesting.

You can code that in C++ You need 25,000,000 lines of code
good video, glad there were 7 different spots that were the most replayed that I could skip to that made this torture, I mean, experience much shorter.
10:57 i saw a clip once of an end ship where it got cutoff upon world generation. part of the ship was still standing, and the item frame generated. but it didn't have a block against it (it got cutoff), so the elytra just fell to the ground lol. that's an easier way of getting an elytra. unfortunately it is seed based though (although tbf getting to the end at all is also seed based)
That's one of the main problems with these thought experiments. They're mixing up infinite time with infinite seed generation. So you'd need a seed that has a fully completed end portal and then also the conditions for a naturally spawning nether portal and also the end gateway generating right above an end ship. That seed simply doesn't exist so infinite time never gets you there.
@@bunnyisdreaming6081 There are 2^64 seeds. if you think that's even close to infinite then you have a very poor understanding of what infinity is. Infinity is infinitely bigger than the number of minecraft seeds.
@@pdpgb Have you been to every one of those seeds? Have every single one of them been 100% studied in their entirety? Every single block combination/coordinate accounted for? Including the fact that, over SEVERAL different Minecraft versions, the seed generation algorithm changes altogether, thus creating a WHOLE NEW ITERATION of those 2^64 seeds, multiple times over? And that EVERYONE who has studied ALL these seeds in their entirety gathered all the data (or were even specifically looking for this combination), & confirmed your claim that NONE of them have all the requirements necessary? No? Then you can't say that seed doesn't exist. As far as we know, it IS still possible, unless/until proven otherwise.
In a world like this where a lot of mob pathing, etc. is random, these mobs could act similar to our world's "elementary particles." Like how gluons and quarks have different behaviors, creepers and skeletons do as well. What could arise from infinite time? A collection of mobs in specific positions might form some sort of "system" which would allow it to exist longer on average than other mobs which are separate and not in a specific system. Many different kinds of these "mob systems" may arise, some better able to interact with the minecraft world than others. Some of these mob systems may even be able to attack other mob systems using some clever arrangement of snow golems, creepers, skeletons, maybe even some mechanism to trap and utilize iron golems that spawn in villages. What would happen now that mob systems can compete against each other? Evolution. Mob systems would get better and better at surviving, self-repairing, self-replicating. Mobs acting as particles, have by chance come together to create something living, in the same way that non-living particles in our world managed to create life. Abiogenesis. These mob systems could not only compete against each others, they could work together and have different functionalities. These mob systems, similar to cells, could come together and form multicellular life. From then on, evolution would take place just like how it would in our world, and maybe even complex life could form after such a long time. Of course, the heat death of the universe may occur before this happens, but if proton decay isn't a thing, then random quantum fluctuations would eventually create a new universe in what's called a Poincare Recurrence. In some of these newly created random universes, this experiment could run again... and again and again and again. Under infinite time, anything that has a non-zero chance of occurring, will occur. The result? Eventually, minecraft will create sentient life on its own, will answer all answerable questions, will create everything there is to create, will destroy everything there is to destroy. Forever over and over.
10:50 And that is what Star Citizen is trying to achieve with their persistent assets and stuff with their servers. Quite an insane thing to try, and if they release it is another question
Loved the video! There are certain issues: 1) Would a skeleton survive being launched towards the crystal? 2) Would the dragon ever be close enough to both the crystal and the skeleton for it to shoot and accidentally hit the crystal? 3) Can we assume that any single ice golem will be generated before all pumpkins are destroyed? Probably but we'd need to know how many pumpkins there are on a regular world, would they live long enough to do anything? Let alone open paths trough creepers blowing up. Most likely the finite amount of pumpkins would run out rather quickly on the grand scheme of things. 4) Can an endship spawn connected in such a way that any mob of those mentioned in the video can walk a path towards it at all? I don't think so but I might be mistaken Comments: Could wandering traders help us get mob interactions? Like agroing some mobs? Assuming we don't need players for them to spawn the odds of wandering traders spawning and also pillagers with crossbows accidentally shooting creepers are insanely low, however if it's going on forever, eventually it will happen at every chunk available several times, enough times to clear a path to a ender portal frame. I'd need a better understanding of the spawning of both of these mobs and how they interact with each other and with other mobs.
The flat bedrock end isn't completely devoid of everything, it's either at least one lava pool, which the final block gets destroyed in, or at least one enderman holding the final block roaming the empty world forever.
There is one other situation in which the block could be lost forever, without any lava or water pools nearby: with no blocks left to make overhanging ledges, the enderman would eventually die to rain, leaving the block to despawn.
This makes me want a biome that is made of blocks that Endermen moved overtime. A biome that can be found on every dimension and possibly containing blocks that don’t yet naturally generate (as far as I know) such as glazed terracotta or hoppers…
i like how in the end you faded out and trailed off to signify infinity, as if the video itself is an unending explanation, and you keep talking forever even after it ends. awesome 😁
That is indeed the case, as the islands are simply REALLY far from the End Dragon island and the End Gateways just directly teleport you there. I've actually found End Islands this way, btw!
@@stephaniethebatter7975its not even that far, its just about 1000 Blocks. Ive run past the dragon and built a bridge over there in multiple worlds over the years.
The endermen removing the world reminds me of a real (albeit theoretical) possibility for black holes that I wrote a low-level research paper on in college. It's called Hawking Radiation. The idea hinges on the concept of antimatter pairs: randomly, there can be a pair of particles spontaneously created, one matter and one antimatter so as to not violate the laws of thermodynamics. They then instantly recombine and annihilate as though nothing ever happened. If this were to happen right at the event horizon of a black hole, and the antimatter particle was sucked in but not the matter, it would annihilate an infinitesimally small amount of the black hole's mass. If the black hole is small enough or has exhausted all nearby matter and energy, over infinite time it would eventually erase the entire thing. We currently don't have any way of knowing if this is a thing that happens, but like you said: in deep time, if it _can_ happen, it _will_ happen.
Super interesting study. Minecraft is a unique feat of human creativity. A self-supporting world populated by AI. Feels Matrix-y when you think of it that way. Whose to say we’re not in the same boat?
i love videos that give me an existential crisis a few seconds in jokes aside though it is interesting. we, as humans, have made the technological advancements required to make the little self-sufficient ai world that is minecraft. in some time it's safe to say we'll be able to make a self-aware ai, which can live its own life and develop just like we can. so who's to say someone else hasn't already reached this level of technological development? this idea gave me a genuine existential crisis when i was a little younger, it was awful 💀 but now it's just interesting to me
Thank you for addressing the issues with chunk loading, mob spawning, and more! Although it’s not really a big deal, when other people don’t mention this sort of stuff and assume that every chunk is always loaded in their videos, it really irks me
It would be cool if someone streamed something like this, or made a spectator mode server. with a few modifications that might change the time needed of course it might be actually interesting to watch
no it would not, even with the entire processing power of humanity working to simulate minecraft worlds to do this would never accomplish something intresting to watch, you clearly dont understand the astronomical odds we are talking about to start one step of the things in these videos
Even if every computer on earth was running a perfect seed at 5000 times the regular progression of time in a world the sun would still die out before the things in this video naturally happen
Regarding killing the dragon, projectiles only don’t damage the dragon when it is perched. If you try shooting it while it is perched as a player, you’ll find that your arrows bounce off too. Additionally, I’m unsure how the dragon would with without a player, since its flight pattern sometimes relies upon a player’s position. Finally, it is possible that the dragon will never choose a path through the enderman staircase, although unlikely. However, as you have infinite time, it will happen at some point
Ender dragon not flying through the staircase will not happen because the random events in minecraft arn't truly random. Given infinite time there will eventually be a cycle to it's path finding causing it to hit the staircase.
The empty bedrock superflat at the end would not make sense, as there would have to be lava nearby. So you would have lava falling from the sky in a few places, where endermen would go to be burned and remove a block from the world. If they wanted to remove the lava, they'd have to find somewhere else to remove blocks, so a small island of blocks would reappear where there is no lava. In time, that might mean a few flat islands, surrounded by lava.
I think it would be unlikely (even on the scale of "likelihood" that we're dealing with here) to have an empty bedrock superflat, but not impossible. Falling sand and gravel could slowly destroy lava pools and even oceans, and then that same sand and gravel could be picked up and moved again and again and eventually deleted when those endermen die. Once there are no pools of lava or water left for endermen to die in... well, there's always the rain.
I can't tell you the last time i played minecraft, but i can most certainly tell you i never did anything mentioned in the video outside of making ender portals. Its amazing how much stuff MC has within.
My only problem with this, so far, is that the chances of the portal being discovered are incredibly slim, probably more slim than endermen killing the deagon via TNT. Because skeletons only attack the player or a mob that attacked them, they won't really aid with uncovering the portal. This means that the process is entirely dependent on endermen creating snow golems on the exact location above the portal, and those snow golems attacking a creeper who's exactly above the portal. Not to mention the issues of snow golems wandering away, and endermen building over any hole that might have been created.
I should mention here that blowing a hole into a stronghold is not necessary on all seeds. There are a few seeds, mostly used by speedrunners, that have an exposed, lit End Portal next to spawn. With how big all Minecraft worlds are, chances are there are at least a few with pre-lit, accessible End portals that also come with self-lighting Nether portals.
One thing I don't ever see considered in this video are the rules endermen have for placing and picking up blocks. Do they need a block underneath to place something down? Can they take a block that's floating in the air, or will they only take a block at their feet? These things are pretty important when considering the randomisation factor.
wait but there has to be other ways for creepers to explode 1. wolves automatically attack skeletons 2. it can sometimes happen that mob farms explode themselves out of nowhere and the player is at the bottom at the mob farm, not in the spawning platform at the top, so how does that happen??? also under my house there was one spot where random creepers made a giant hole, i don’t know why and i was never there, my house is in the air and i always flew up there and never went under my house while it was dark how/ why do those creepers explode???
Nice video. Except for the esoteric life-coach technobabble about the fifth dimension at the end. Remember, most self-help books are scams allowing the author to help himself to your money.
Endermen actually can not place blocks midair so it would not be possible for them to drop sand blocks into lava therefore making it impossible to build a portal that way Also ghasts would never make it out of nether since the naturally generated 2x3 portal isn't large enough for them to fit through. They also can't teleport onto the nether roof i'm pretty sure
This might as well prove that the universe was created by some super being in the 4th dimension, as a computer game for them, this is their game where we humans are just endermen. This also perfectly describes the entropy concept in our own reality, how things could go to disorder given enough time. This is just absolutely insane.
Okay, but would an infinite number of monkeys playing an infinite number of copies of Minecraft eventually be able to recreate every frame of Bad Apple in order?
Some things are wrong about this, consider the caged ender crystals. Zoglins do not spawn naturally by the way, and it'll die to the Endermans before even getting a chance to walk through the outer end islands. It would also take extreme luck for a fox to grab the elytra, since the elytra would just despawn. Sure, the elytra can be safely stored inside a hopper, although very unlikely. If the elytra ended up despawning, then there will be no other elytras being accessible to any of the mobs since the dragon will only die once, hence only one outer end portal. Ghasts are too big to fit through nether portals, so all the section about ghast are basically useless. The iron farm can also be instantly destroyed by Endermans as quickly as they made it, either by freeing the villagers or slightly alternating the water to pour down and put out the lava. Endermans cannot move lava and water, so the rest of the world would be lava, water and bedrock. Cool video, really explores the actual limits of Minecraft and simulation!
One End Gateway allows for access to the only outer End, which has much more than just one End City with Elytra. All arena End Gateways just lead to points of that same large Outer End, making multiples unnecessary.
@TheRedSmarty 20 End Gateways can spawn on the main island. Each has an exit of it's own far away from the main island. Endermans cannot bridge to other end islands, therefore the you can only have an amount of End Cities that can fit on that outer island. The Cities that contains the Elytra is even rarer, making the chance of getting more than 1 Elytra almost impossible.
@@TheRedSmarty The fox and zoglin can never reach the other end ships though because endermen can't bring dirt in to build a staircase. The entire original scenario was premised by the end gateway generating right above an end ship. And yes since the elytra would despawn you would need to rerun the simulation again until a fox and zoglin came in at the same time. At that point it's not about infinite time in 1 minecraft world, it's about infinite time spent rerunning infinite simulations of the perfect world. The other big problem is you'd need a seed with all these conditions met which probably doesn't exist.
I think Endermen couldn't even in Minecraft Beta 1.8 construct overhangs of any block because they cannot place blocks over air (they cannot place on the sides, only on top of blocks) or remove blocks that don't have air immediately above.
As another user mentioned, there would be 2 possibilities, one being lava getting destroyed by gravel and the rest of the world surviving, and the second was discussed in the video, I personally think that if the second one happens to be true, then a majority of bedrock will be exposed, but a lot of cobblestone, stone , obsidian generated by lava and water will be scattered around, and a lot of single blocks(or even small clumps) will be randomly scattered around the world, as endermen wouldn't be able to pick from high up in the air

4 minutes in and the endermen are already the creepiest way a dormant world can change. Just randomly picking up and moving blocks, and then to a point where the ground is just no longer plain grass.
17:40 same here
The idea of Endermen randomly shuffling blocks to create literally anything, given enough time, is basically the same as quantum mechanics shuffling particles around through random quantum tunneling events to create literally anything. An iron star. A Boltzmann Brain. An entire new Universe in the form of a singularity that immediately experiences a Big Bang.
Also the same as "monkeys with typewriters" lmao
it might be possible to somehow create logic gates with naturally generated blocks, using water mechanics or something. out of the totality of endermen creation could emerge computers, the game of life, minecraft itself, a simulation of the real universe...
@@theredsaurian oh it actually is!
But the issue is quite simply that those logic gates rely on needing to open and close trapdoors, fence gates, etc. and they also rely on boats, which need to be placed by the player.
But technically you can also do without all of those by just placing and removing a block to toggle which direction water will flow.
Only issue with this is the fact that you can't make one logic gate then activate the next.
I don't know whether endermen can pick up or place things like wooden pressure plates but if they can then I assume it would be possible for that to be done by using mobs that can't properly move against the water stream.
The water can be placed anywhere vis endermen picking up and placing ice.
@@Owgla with no player those components would be hard to acquire. pressure plates from village tables yes, but others?
@@theredsaurian yep exactly, so regardless it would be extremely improbable.
It'd be more likely for them to make whatever the computer was supposed to make directly compared to making a working computer that'd make the result I imagine.
Counter for your ending. The world could just as easily end up creating more and more blocks through cobblestone generation or through endermen continuously making and disassembling portals to the nether infinitely generating obsidian. Resulting in a future where everything is essentially a cobblestone/obsidian cube
Can Endermen pick up obsidian
It might be possible to determine which outcome is most likely by calculating the expected probability of each. Over time, the game is likely to converge towards this outcome.
Water and lava sources are also finite, however, and would slowly disappear from the game as Endermen filled them with blocks.
@@chasetyler8690there would be multiple that an enderman could not touch, since they cannot touch water and would eventually remove all of the immediate blocks allowing them to remove it, so the reality would be a mix of the 2

Actually, there is one part of a Minecraft world that is always loaded regardless of if there is a player: Spawn Chunks. If you run the server jar by itself, the spawn chunks would always be loaded even with no players connected. If you could find a world where somehow the exact conditions for beating the game were all within spawn chunks, it may even be possible to have the game be beated in the actual game without any rule modifications
I might be wrong but I think it is impossible for an end portal to generate in the spawn chunks, because the end portals spawn in rings starting at ~1000 blocks away from spawn iirc.
it is possible in bedrock@@DialecticRed
yeah but end chunks dont get loaded
@@HossuhAffasHomBOSSBedrock does not have spawn chunks always loaded
@DialecticRed That would be correct, but that's only in the *latest version* of the game. Stronghold spawning didn't always work the way it does now; if you go on Minecraft 1.12.2 and use the seed -5362871956303579298, not only do you get an end portal right next to spawn (and well within the entity processing spawn chunks), the portal is already lit as well! Though I'm not exactly sure on how the end chunk loading works in 1.12.2... I think you can load a few chunks on the End side by just having entities pass through the portal? (Someone would need to test that though)
Thanks for bringing up the limitations of how mobs are processed in minecraft, since i feel like some people missed that point when watching original video. It actually isn't certain, that a 1.8 beta world would be destroyed, as lava meeting water can generate stone and cobble, allowing for more blocks to be created. However, i believe enderman can destroy fluids by placing sand obove them. Finally cold biomes already existed back in beta 1.8, allowing for ice to be created, which could be used to generate infinite oceans. Making it not that easy to tell, the ultimate fate of the world.
This kind of speculation is pretty thought provoking, so i would be glad to see more videos covering that topic

Could you imagine a mod where every mob works together to beat the dragon before you?

Ha, that sounds interesting! Maybe in such a mod, the changes to the dragon mentioned in this video would also be reverted, so that mobs other than creepers would be able to damage the dragon directly. Endermen could perhaps spawn holding eyes of ender, which they might replace with a block if they aren't near an End portal but could place if they are...

this is an interesting concept but zoglins don't spawn in the nether. the only way to obtain one is a hoglin walking through a nether portal into the overworld and becoming one, like a piglin becomes a zombie pigman (zombified piglin).
this is problematic because hoglins are scared of nether portals and run away from them, although you could argue the portal would spawn on one, but that can only happen once per portal.
or other circumstances might force them in, say if they fell into a hole with a Nether portal at the bottom and some lava or another mob pushed them into it
There's a lot of ways hoglins can be forced in, like falling from above... all they have to do is touch the nether portal frame blocks. Its just going to be a lot more rare. But even if it happens only once every 10 years across the entire minecraft world, with infinite time, that is a common occurrence.

Entropy really stresses me out and the knowledge that it exists in Minecraft brought me to genuine tears watching this video thanks for that
I guess being stressed by entropy is the most rational irrational fear. It won't affect you beyond the mundane daily effects, so you shouldn't be afraid of it, but it is after all the inevitable doom of the whole existence.
We are products of entropy. Entropy isn't just disorder but the end path of any and all energy transfer. A strange paradox, for anything to exist in this universe, it must eventually turn to nothing.
@@fresh_doodPerhaps an "empty" universe with "nothing" is the instigator of a big bang.

I dont think so. Its much more likely for a ruined portal to spawn naturally. The issue with magma ravines is that there is generally only a few layers of lava whereas a full portal needs about 5 blocks height
@@sileudies but would it be possible for at least 1 instance of a magma ravine without ruined portal to make a lit portal across every location in every seed?
@@_wetmath_not every seed but maybe some
I think this also misses that you dont need to dig to the portal. Mobs spawn in the strong hold and that can easily intersect with a ravine or a cave system and be exposed. It reduces the time needed significantly
True, but maybe the End portal being dug to, was necessitated for the set-up of Nether mobs being able to get there, & the fox eventually bringing the Elytra back to the surface/main world (or storing it in the hopper).
EDIT: Oh, and so the Snow Golems could get to the End too.
It’s so every mob can enter
Let's get a supercomputer and run some super accelerated simulation of this
Just create aternos server
It would still be millions of years even at the fastest possible speed we could probably simulate it
as a note, a true super flat bedrock world is impossible, either 1 block of water or lava would have to remain in order for an enderman to die and lose its picked up block, so depending on the ordering, you could end up in a world where endermen can't survive in the over world because it's now all covered in water, or more amusingly but much less likely, lava.
Ah entropy, where the randomness is represented by the endermen moving blocks around

This also perfectly describes the entropy concept in our own reality, how things could go to disorder given enough time. This is just absolutely insane." Its actually insane. When you think about it the way given some very basic developpment initial state a whole state of universe can be created within a game, minecraft is like a 2 dimensional universe that we humans created. If 4th dimension exists this universe could very well be their video game.

That's one of the main problems with these thought experiments. They're mixing up infinite time with infinite seed generation. So you'd need a seed that has a fully completed end portal and then also the conditions for a naturally spawning nether portal and also the end gateway generating right above an end ship.

21:40 Never thought I'd see a video about cosmic heat death concepts in Minecraft but here we are
In a world like this where a lot of mob pathing, etc. is random, these mobs could act similar to our world's "elementary particles." Like how gluons and quarks have different behaviors, creepers and skeletons do as well. What could arise from infinite time?
A collection of mobs in specific positions might form some sort of "system" which would allow it to exist longer on average than other mobs which are separate and not in a specific system. Many different kinds of these "mob systems" may arise, some better able to interact with the minecraft world than others. Some of these mob systems may even be able to attack other mob systems using some clever arrangement of snow golems, creepers, skeletons, maybe even some mechanism to trap and utilize iron golems that spawn in villages.
What would happen now that mob systems can compete against each other? Evolution. Mob systems would get better and better at surviving, self-repairing, self-replicating. Mobs acting as particles, have by chance come together to create something living, in the same way that non-living particles in our world managed to create life. Abiogenesis.
These mob systems could not only compete against each others, they could work together and have different functionalities. These mob systems, similar to cells, could come together and form multicellular life. From then on, evolution would take place just like how it would in our world, and maybe even complex life could form after such a long time.
Of course, the heat death of the universe may occur before this happens, but if proton decay isn't a thing, then random quantum fluctuations would eventually create a new universe in what's called a Poincare Recurrence. In some of these newly created random universes, this experiment could run again... and again and again and again.
Under infinite time, anything that has a non-zero chance of occurring, will occur.
The result? Eventually, minecraft will create sentient life on its own, will answer all answerable questions, will create everything there is to create, will destroy everything there is to destroy. Forever over and over.
Such an amazing thought to think...

Loved the video! There are certain issues:
1) Would a skeleton survive being launched towards the crystal?
2) Would the dragon ever be close enough to both the crystal and the skeleton for it to shoot and accidentally hit the crystal?
3) Can we assume that any single ice golem will be generated before all pumpkins are destroyed? Probably but we'd need to know how many pumpkins there are on a regular world, would they live long enough to do anything? Let alone open paths trough creepers blowing up. Most likely the finite amount of pumpkins would run out rather quickly on the grand scheme of things.
4) Can an endship spawn connected in such a way that any mob of those mentioned in the video can walk a path towards it at all? I don't think so but I might be mistaken
Comments:
Could wandering traders help us get mob interactions? Like agroing some mobs? Assuming we don't need players for them to spawn the odds of wandering traders spawning and also pillagers with crossbows accidentally shooting creepers are insanely low, however if it's going on forever, eventually it will happen at every chunk available several times, enough times to clear a path to a ender portal frame. I'd need a better understanding of the spawning of both of these mobs and how they interact with each other and with other mobs.

The flat bedrock end isn't completely devoid of everything, it's either at least one lava pool, which the final block gets destroyed in, or at least one enderman holding the final block roaming the empty world forever.
There is one other situation in which the block could be lost forever, without any lava or water pools nearby: with no blocks left to make overhanging ledges, the enderman would eventually die to rain, leaving the block to despawn.
@@LeopardMask12 though it is debatable if items despawn in "intended minecraft" imo

@@stephaniethebatter7975its not even that far, its just about 1000 Blocks. Ive run past the dragon and built a bridge over there in multiple worlds over the years.
The endermen removing the world reminds me of a real (albeit theoretical) possibility for black holes that I wrote a low-level research paper on in college. It's called Hawking Radiation.
The idea hinges on the concept of antimatter pairs: randomly, there can be a pair of particles spontaneously created, one matter and one antimatter so as to not violate the laws of thermodynamics. They then instantly recombine and annihilate as though nothing ever happened. If this were to happen right at the event horizon of a black hole, and the antimatter particle was sucked in but not the matter, it would annihilate an infinitesimally small amount of the black hole's mass. If the black hole is small enough or has exhausted all nearby matter and energy, over infinite time it would eventually erase the entire thing.
We currently don't have any way of knowing if this is a thing that happens, but like you said: in deep time, if it _can_ happen, it _will_ happen.

Regarding killing the dragon, projectiles only don’t damage the dragon when it is perched. If you try shooting it while it is perched as a player, you’ll find that your arrows bounce off too. Additionally, I’m unsure how the dragon would with without a player, since its flight pattern sometimes relies upon a player’s position.
Finally, it is possible that the dragon will never choose a path through the enderman staircase, although unlikely. However, as you have infinite time, it will happen at some point
Ender dragon not flying through the staircase will not happen because the random events in minecraft arn't truly random. Given infinite time there will eventually be a cycle to it's path finding causing it to hit the staircase.
The empty bedrock superflat at the end would not make sense, as there would have to be lava nearby. So you would have lava falling from the sky in a few places, where endermen would go to be burned and remove a block from the world. If they wanted to remove the lava, they'd have to find somewhere else to remove blocks, so a small island of blocks would reappear where there is no lava. In time, that might mean a few flat islands, surrounded by lava.
I think it would be unlikely (even on the scale of "likelihood" that we're dealing with here) to have an empty bedrock superflat, but not impossible. Falling sand and gravel could slowly destroy lava pools and even oceans, and then that same sand and gravel could be picked up and moved again and again and eventually deleted when those endermen die. Once there are no pools of lava or water left for endermen to die in... well, there's always the rain.
@@LeopardMask12 I didn't think of that. That is very true.
I can't tell you the last time i played minecraft, but i can most certainly tell you i never did anything mentioned in the video outside of making ender portals. Its amazing how much stuff MC has within.
My only problem with this, so far, is that the chances of the portal being discovered are incredibly slim, probably more slim than endermen killing the deagon via TNT. Because skeletons only attack the player or a mob that attacked them, they won't really aid with uncovering the portal. This means that the process is entirely dependent on endermen creating snow golems on the exact location above the portal, and those snow golems attacking a creeper who's exactly above the portal. Not to mention the issues of snow golems wandering away, and endermen building over any hole that might have been created.
What if a wolf attacks a skeleton and the skeleton accidentally hits a creeper?
I think this is a pretty good example of entropy, good video
I should mention here that blowing a hole into a stronghold is not necessary on all seeds. There are a few seeds, mostly used by speedrunners, that have an exposed, lit End Portal next to spawn. With how big all Minecraft worlds are, chances are there are at least a few with pre-lit, accessible End portals that also come with self-lighting Nether portals.
One thing I don't ever see considered in this video are the rules endermen have for placing and picking up blocks. Do they need a block underneath to place something down? Can they take a block that's floating in the air, or will they only take a block at their feet? These things are pretty important when considering the randomisation factor.
The video he recommends at the very beginning goes more in-depth about those rules.
wait but there has to be other ways for creepers to explode
1. wolves automatically attack skeletons
2. it can sometimes happen that mob farms explode themselves out of nowhere and the player is at the bottom at the mob farm, not in the spawning platform at the top, so how does that happen???
also under my house there was one spot where random creepers made a giant hole, i don’t know why and i was never there, my house is in the air and i always flew up there and never went under my house while it was dark
how/ why do those creepers explode???

@xn85d2 technically, if the dragon dies indirectly, via mobs or beds, the advancement isn't given to anyone, but the game doesn't crash
This is my favorite video you've made. What an interesting concept.
Endermen actually can not place blocks midair so it would not be possible for them to drop sand blocks into lava therefore making it impossible to build a portal that way
Also ghasts would never make it out of nether since the naturally generated 2x3 portal isn't large enough for them to fit through. They also can't teleport onto the nether roof i'm pretty sure

This might as well prove that the universe was created by some super being in the 4th dimension, as a computer game for them, this is their game where we humans are just endermen.

It would also take extreme luck for a fox to grab the elytra, since the elytra would just despawn. Sure, the elytra can be safely stored inside a hopper, although very unlikely. If the elytra ended up despawning, then there will be no other elytras being accessible to any of the mobs since the dragon will only die once, hence only one outer end portal. Ghasts are too big to fit through nether portals, so all the section about ghast are basically useless. The iron farm can also be instantly destroyed by Endermans as quickly as they made it, either by freeing the villagers or slightly alternating the water to pour down and put out the lava. Endermans cannot move lava and water, so the rest of the world would be lava, water and bedrock. Cool video, really explores the actual limits of Minecraft and simulation!
One End Gateway allows for access to the only outer End, which has much more than just one End City with Elytra. All arena End Gateways just lead to points of that same large Outer End, making multiples unnecessary.
@TheRedSmarty 20 End Gateways can spawn on the main island. Each has an exit of it's own far away from the main island. Endermans cannot bridge to other end islands, therefore the you can only have an amount of End Cities that can fit on that outer island. The Cities that contains the Elytra is even rarer, making the chance of getting more than 1 Elytra almost impossible.
@@SileyCone Oh, I didn't realize there was no way for the needed moves to travel between islands. I know how the gateways work.
@@TheRedSmarty The fox and zoglin can never reach the other end ships though because endermen can't bring dirt in to build a staircase. The entire original scenario was premised by the end gateway generating right above an end ship. And yes since the elytra would despawn you would need to rerun the simulation again until a fox and zoglin came in at the same time. At that point it's not about infinite time in 1 minecraft world, it's about infinite time spent rerunning infinite simulations of the perfect world.
The other big problem is you'd need a seed with all these conditions met which probably doesn't exist.
@@pdpgb Yeah, the original commenter already told me that there's no way for the mobs to travel the outer End.
Iron Golems are more common and can do the same as snow golem mostly. New once will spawn to if the villagers survive
I think Endermen couldn't even in Minecraft Beta 1.8 construct overhangs of any block because they cannot place blocks over air (they cannot place on the sides, only on top of blocks) or remove blocks that don't have air immediately above.
This is like thinking of an experiment of the most unlikely but possible thing
I don't think that Bedrock flat world would ever be able to exist due to the abundance of naturally occurring cobblestone generators.
As another user mentioned, there would be 2 possibilities, one being lava getting destroyed by gravel and the rest of the world surviving, and the second was discussed in the video, I personally think that if the second one happens to be true, then a majority of bedrock will be exposed, but a lot of cobblestone, stone , obsidian generated by lava and water will be scattered around, and a lot of single blocks(or even small clumps) will be randomly scattered around the world, as endermen wouldn't be able to pick from high up in the air
Awesome to think about a world where phantoms don't exist
ok
the concept of no phantoms is based on spawn possibilities of phantoms but if phantoms need players then why dont other mobs?
@@scottbright595 Phantoms specifically need players who lack sleep. Presumably this aggravates the phantoms (or they're a product of your imagination? idk).
@@Confused-Rock i undrstand the echanic but a creeper need to be inside the loaded area of a player so if we are forgetting these mechanics why not the phantoms too
2:13 ok that was weird, i am literally visiting my extended family in California and we were having dinner not too long ago
Dang, Endermen are the real protagonists.
and foxes
Isnt this just the video you credited in the beginning almost word for word?
9 year old me would have lost it watching this video
10:47 imagine if an iron golem threw snow instead of direct punching
How much would it hurt if they can 1 hit you in survival normally with no armor
10:46 snowball from an iron golem :D
