I wrote a Visualization tool and thought, why not do a video with it! So, let's take a look at the rarest of the rarest, and compare probabilities in Minecraft! Link to sources is below.
The values apply to the latest version of the Minecraft Java edition (1.15.2) and may be subject to change in future updates. These numbers are also partly different when compared to other editions of Minecraft (Bedrock and Pocket edition).
Disclaimer: I made quite some effort to research the numbers in this video, but no one is without fault. The statistical values may be invalid, incorrect or not up to date. You can find a link that lists my sources (and calculations) below.

I wrote this little visualization tool myself (as a web app). After I finished my Visualization course at university, I wanted to create a little tool and was inspired by @reigarw , so I ended up with this. You can find Reigarw's channel here:

I didn't use an HTML canvas element to draw the probabilities. Instead, all the elements are actual HTML elements, which made it a bit more laggy than I anticipated if I'm honest. If there's a next time, I should probably use an HTML canvas and some JavaScript drawing library instead of doing everything bare bones.
After I had collected all the probabilities and made some calculations, I tried to record the result running on Mozilla Firefox with NVIDIA Shadow Play, which didn't work when using the browser in full screen mode. So, I ended up using OBS which could record Firefox without any problems. This was not really an optimal solution either though, now that I think about it. Generating every frame with the tool itself would have probably been much smoother than screen-recording it while running. But hey, what's done is done. At least I see a pattern for this video concerning the production, hahaha.
Anyway, in this video I take a look at a number of Minecraft probabilities and compared them, like the chances of shulkers dropping their shells, baby animals or pink sheep spawning, getting a rabbit's foot, wither skeletons dropping their skulls, breeding completely random horses, foxes spawning with emeralds, zombies spawning with iron swords, individual splash texts, zombie pigmans spawning in the Overworld, a "Minceraft" title screen appearing, lightning bolts striking in a chunk, "skeleton trap" horses spawning, end portals generating completed (and activated), the same seed (or world) getting randomly generated twice, or the chances of an OP zombie villager chicken jockey spawning with enchanted full diamond armor and wielding an enchanted iron sword. (Like that's ever going to happen!)

Its been a long time since I last created a Minecraft cinematic, so here you go! I played around with Ray-Tracing Shaders and photo-realistic textures, and this is the result!
Thanks to UMSOEA for letting me use his textures! You can get his resource pack here:

I used SEUS PTGI shader by Sonic Ether (E12 and E10 for some scenes). The shader is currently in experimental development. You can get it here:

I used Replay Mod by CrushedPixel and johni0702 to record this video. You can get it here:
» https://www.replaymod.com/
I just love the look of the Ray-Tracing shaders that are now being developed! In combination with super high-definition textures, Minecraft almost looks like real life from the right angle!
At first, I really wanted to record this video using Nvidia ShadowPlay. After I figured out how to record 4K while only having a Full HD monitor, I realized that it grilled my computer inside out. So, that wasnt going to cut it.
Thats why I looked for an alternative and finally remembered the good old Replay Mod! The Replay Mod can render awesome camera paths, and it does not record your screen but the game scene instead, which makes it possible to get smooth 4K scenes of these 1024x textures in 4K!
I didnt get to use the Replay Mod in a project before, so using it for this cinematic was a first for me. But I really learned loving it in the process and cant recommend it enough for recording cinematic scenes!
Even though my computer is already a few years old, it still holds up quite well in most scenarios. But this video still did its best to make it sweat in agony more than one time. But in the end, the video still got done- so it was worth it!
If youre interested, here is my computer specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K 4x4000 MHz
RAM: 32768 MB DDR4-RAM, 2400 MHz, Crucial Ballistix Sport
Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 6GB GDDR5
Hard Disk: 512 GB SSD Samsung 950 Pro
It would have been possible to record most of the footage in this cinematic video with almost no lag in Full HD. However, since I wanted 4K resolution, I still opted for not recording with ShadowPlay and only used the Replay Mods rendering feature instead!
I didnt try to use another resource pack, like Pulchra, or the Continuum Ray-Tracing shader, since I already had enough awesome scenes using UMSOEAs textures. But I might do another video like this in the future, so who knows... I might choose a different Ray-Tracing shader or another photorealistic texture pack! The Stratum resource pack looks awesome as well, especially the 1024x and 2048x versions, so I might take a look!
