Any system that can represent a NAND gate is Turing complete. In Minecraft, connecting two inputs to the same branch of redstone wire is an OR gate, and a redstone torch on a block acts as a NOT gate. Two inputs, both inverted, into an OR gate gives a NAND.

It's even slightly simpler than that, NOR is also functionally complete, so you can just negate the OR.

Yes, Notch said somewhere that was by design.

Turing completeness is actually pretty easy to implement. The game Baba is You is also turing complete.
