Can Mobs Beat Minecraft?

Can mobs moving randomly beat Minecraft all by themselves? Can Minecraft beat itself without a player or is it totally impossible... Today we find out what the probability of Minecraft beating itself is, and even finding a seed where you can watch it happen yourself?

INSPIRED HUGEELY BY @RetroGamingNow

BIG DISCLAIMER: I just learned AFTER making the whole video that endermen can't actually pick up snow lol. They COULD still make golems by placing a pumpkin next to two naturally generating snow blocks but that makes the end island situation almost impossible if there's a gap

Idk how on earth I made it through the whole video process never realizing they actually couldn't carry snow...

This is a series called Minecraft VVSauce where I explore random features of Minecraft. Not Secret Minecraft things or Minecraft lore (like Game Theory) or Escape Rooms, but a research based series dedicated to over-answering questions you never asked.

WIFIES FAKE NEWS ALERT‼️‼️‼️‼️

I have absolutely no clue how I made this up/missed this when I made the video but it turns out endermen can't pick up snow lol. The run IS still possible because they can put a pumpkin next to naturally generating snow and make a golem, BUTTT it makes it way more difficult in a gap situation on the end island.

Lowkey this might make it even MORE likely but who knows

We can say that the probability goes from ~0% to ~0%

Considering that minecraft speedrunning timer only starts if a player moves, this can theoretically break the set seed category

[RetroGamingNow]

This is a very interesting extension: I like how you accounted for the player needing to load the chunks. Nice video!

This took "The odds are low, but never 0" to a whole new level.

So this is basically the whole "infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters will eventually produce Shakespeare" thing, just in Minecraft hahaha

I think this would be a fun challenge to do with friends, each person taking a “mob” role and everyone trying to beat minecraft together with the rules for each mob (so randomness can be taken out, but you could get the feel of it$

4:57… why does my man start spitting bars here? He’s like almost perfectly timed with the music, lol.

If its possible to do so I hope someone makes a TAS of this concept. Even if the odds are basically impossible, if a TAS is able to actively manipulate the rng (honestly I do not know enough about minecraft TASes, so idk if they can alter the rng with mods or if they just brute force with savestates or something), they could make essentially a proof of concept of this actually happening

[Ferrolune]

To be fair, the amount of rng required to pull this off, we should ask Dream to help.

1:03 The Vsauce music coming in here was the icing on the cake.

[etflu]

The fact that you gave RetroGamingNow credit and still made a super intresting video with your own twist is amazing

[eggsample]

Wifies is starting to become the vsauce of Minecraft

Edit: Okay y'all can stop commenting that he has been for several years, I already know

[axelerhate]

The thing I like the most is the fact that the premise of this team defeating the dragon is that they want to kill each other and couldn't care less about the dragon itself

[toastbrot]

0:37 most unsatisying moment, that the vSauce music got cut off

[chickenchuggets]

That ending was beautiful, just imagine if all videos had a nice ending like that, the internet would become a much greater place. I hope you continue doing that for all your upcoming videos, peace.

Wifies is that kind of guy who will find a way to make u question life for a sec and give a life quote afterwards XD

[goldlars]

0:53 give enderman reward for the sussiest boy alive

[emperorwalrus]

Classic Wifies, answering questions we had no idea to ask but really want an answer to.

[Ottertaxes]

10 outta 10 video, specially liked the wholesome end to it, keep up the good work Wifies

[Surfboarder]

PippenFTS Just did this as well... Crazy coincidence.
I was part of the team that first theorised this with RetroGamingNow (Credited in his video).
Crazy that others are now making videos on the idea!
