All fun and games until Enderman starts shitting bad sectors all over the place

Manual error correction in Minecraft the equivalent of going at one's hard drive with a magnetized needle.

Wouldn't be too hard to add some hamming encoding

Every day we get closer to my dream of hosting a Minecraft server inside of a Minecraft server.

What’s left here? I never took operating systems, going direct from EE bachelor to CS master’s, so this post/comment is perfectly at the gap in my education—I understand the metal->transistor->flop memory we see here, and the server->application->Minecraft you’re imagining, what needs to be built from red stone to go from flop memory->server?

Another great Harder Drive to add to the list: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio

Tom7 made a similar one in Tetris as part of the above video

I watched that video a few days ago. It was wild. The ping backed memory storage is great .

That man baffles me.

He spent 16 years running every street in Philadelphia, starting and ending from home.

> If playing multiplayer, the mod must be installed serverside.

Shoot! Would have been fun to create my block storage on an anarchy server and then fight to defend files in Minecraft.

The ingenuity of Minecraft players never ceases to amaze me

I'm speechless, it is amazing this is even possible. But it's more impressive to me that someone actually thought of this idea and decided to attempt it in the first place.

Sometimes side and off-the-cuff projects are just wacky enough to become amusingly interesting, and inspiring to try something crazy yourself.

I look forward to watching my future grandchildren install a minecraft mod that dematerializes them and let's them play inside minecraft. Then I'll start ranting about Tron and they'll just shake their heads about Grandpa and how he still lives on the old Earth moon colony.

How about a Minecraft server that contains its own data in the world.

This would be such a fun idea for a game/server

This is really cool, I've always liked the idea of being super close to hardware, like being able to visually inspect it, walk around it like it's your kitchen or something, and make modifications to it. Something akin to walking downtown NYC or any big city

Oh, good, now when a creeper blows up I lose more than just my fancy dirt house.

Just need ECC redstone memory. Creepers are just a Minecraft cosmic ray.

This is getting close to the metaverse I actually wanted.
