i love how us as the audience are just supposed to accept the fact that somehow every single star has its own unique number, like someone counted them all and sequentialized them or something i think what makes it even better for me is that there is zero explanation given lol
Well I think it's just the index of that star in the code, since their placements seem rather random and not like a set texture. Each star has it's own properties, the position and rotation.
Also the position of the stars doesn’t seem to correlate with their index number. And if they’re placed randomly, why are they the same every time? If they’re going to be the same, why make it random and if you’re going to make it random, why not make it different for each world?

NO WAY WE REALLY GOT infinite expansion of the universe IN MINECRAFT BEFORE GTA6! 🤯 (Each year, the stars fade as the expansion of the universe pushes us farther and farther away from neighboring systems. Eventually, they will vanish completely.)
not actually true. distant galaxies move away, but the stars within the milky way and nearby galaxies are attracted together by gravity more than the expansion can overcome so they stay together. maybe in the future the expansion accelerates and eventually becomes stronger than gravity within the galaxy, but until then they stick together

Unironically, these two (and third star near it) reminds me a lot of the closest *real-life* star system to Earth/our solar system. The triple-star system, Alpha Centauri, with it's stars being named Alpha Centauri, Toliman and Proxima Centauri respectively. Just reminds me for whatever reason, cool video.
This has got to be, by far and away, THE most obscure, unlikely to have ever been noticed, ultra-specific thing I have ever seen anybody make about any game, even more than Any Austin's investigations into where the power lines in GTA go, or the team of people using distributed computing to be excited finding the tallest possible generated cactus in random seeds or something. This seems like the kind of thing that is SO MINUSCULE and unlikely to have ever been thought about or noticed by anybody, that I feel like I must be quite lucky and honored to know that I got to live in the one universe where somebody in this world got interested enough in this to not only take notice of it within my small lifetime in this universe, but even to publicly document it for me and everyone else to be able to know about it. This video has touched my emotions in a sentimental way. I feel like I just got to witness something astronomically rare and special early that would have otherwise only happened after another like half a trillion years of people playing Minecraft without realizing about these stars. Thank you!
This is so cute... the story of the minecraft stars I never even knew they had a set pattern, but it makes sense tbh It always confuses me how game devs manage to mess up some random obscure feature that hardly anyone notices and that has got next to nothing to do with the game code of that update... like bro just don't touch perfectly fine 14 year old code if ur making an update about UNDERGROUND structures

I've never really thought about the Minecraft stars, I thought they were perhaps random repeating patterns. Really interesting that they've been sentinels for so long, unmoving.
I'd noticed the touching stars over my years in Minecraft, but I never really thought about it like this. Shame to see they're parted, but also good to hear they might be put back together soon!

Every game needs an index of randomly generated items, if they were placed there on purpose it doesn’t need one buts it’s easier to have an index.
