Minecraft doesn't need you.

Minecraft is a game that allows the player to have almost unlimited creativity. But what would happen if there never was a player? Could the random events that occur in the game ever result in anything useful? Tonight, we are going to aim to answer that question.

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out the video! Obviously, this is a thought experiment more than anything - there are many reasons that an infinite time world is clearly impossible. It's also pretty cool to hear from people who have more technical programming experience regarding RNG - that is an aspect that I didn't cover whatsoever. Nonetheless, I had a ton of fun thinking of crazy ways for things to happen - do you have any ideas I didn't mention?

I love how the Skeleton's sole job is to be bad at archery.

[ghhs]

Imagine making it to the end only to realize the enderman beat you to it already killing the dragon

[Go_ing]

There is already a minecraft seed where the obby from a woodland mansion finishes a portal that can also light itself. That avoids this complicated mess but its fun to think about!

10:29 - At this moment, the phrase "the chances are low, but they're never zero" is being taken to a whole another level. There's not just one astronomically low chance, there's thousands of them, requiring to happen one by one.

[abhijiths]

11:00 three seeds have been found where a ruined portal generated below an obsidian room of the woodland mansion and is completed. Also the lava in the ruined portal can spread fire to nearby Blocks and thereby lighting the portal

[chubokuay]

This isn’t a speed run, its a slow run. Or maybe theres no ‘run’ at all considering no player input. Just the natural forces of RNG spending eternity beating the enderdragon.

[LUNE.]

Imagine spawing in a world, then getting distracted and ending up cryogenically freezing yourself for a thousand years, accidentally leaving your computer on the whole time. When you wake up, you realise you left it on and look at the screen and see a fox with an elytra in its mouth next to another fox with a dragon egg

[freshprinceoffrance]

Imagine stepping away from your computer for 40 trillion years and you come back and the game is beaten

[pewfss]

Props to the cameraman for playing minecraft 40 trillion years in the future to record all of this happening

[person]

I feel like this would make a really cute kids book. An enderman, a skeleton, and a snow golem going on a journey to defeat the ender dragon

[shapeswitch_mood]

I wish there were a mod that give way more life and dynamic to the game: Trees grows and dies, biomes changes, animals migrates, villages and pillagers expand and vanish...
Heck, even the rain corrode the landscape.

Could you imagine, playing solo you go through the whole process of getting eyes, armor, weapons, ect. Then you find the portal, and it’s completed. You go through it, there’s massive stair cases to the tops of the pillars, and the dragon is already dead.

[solalabell]

Imagine leaving your world running for a while then remember you left it afk but now there’s a hole to the portal and no dragon but giant craters and staircases in the end

[eliad]

I want a mod that makes the mobs actually try to do this intentionally

[c.o.y]

RGN took "The chances are low, But never zero" to a whole another level

[decract]

Enderman: Builder (The Mastermind)
Fox: Item Transporter
Creeper: Miner
Skeleton: TNT Igniter
Snow Golem: Triggerer
Zombie: Ice bridge Builder
Zoglin: Far End Island Attacker

Player: Lazy

This reminds me of a famous quote from a Brothers Grimm story:

“In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over.”

[Thete]

15:15 It actually goes further! The fox could return to the overworld and be killed by a skeleton arrow, dropping the elytra, which could then be picked up and worn by a zombie!.

[helmie]

Imagine playing in a world and suddenly getting the "Free the End" achievement...
and then you realize that you're in singleplayer...
O.o
