Are you finding that killing one person at a time just isn't fun anymore? Now wouldn't it be cool if you could take down a whole server?!
Well in this video I explore one of the possible ways to build a weapons of mass destruction in minecraft. This technique is using sand and the fact that it falls and can start a chain reaction.
The idea is that the more calculations the game has to make per second the better. This gigantic weapon I'm making is literally like the nuclear bomb of minecraft.
P.s. I'm not a griefer. I just want to beat minecraft this is for science =D
Right let me give you guys a sort of overview of what's going on here:
We want to crash the game. So we want to make something which is big and creates a lot of lag. I went and ran through my calculations again and they say as follows:
The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula 1/3(L^2)h where L is the length of the base of the pyramid. For us the L/2 = h, Due to the way minecraft works.
So L=2h
And therefore V=4/3 h^3
Remember this is the volume of a pyramid so our total volume is 2*V
So volume of diamond prism D = 8/3 * h^3
Now let's imagine that our 'height of the prism' =200. Therefore the height of the pyramid would be 100
D=8/3 * 100^3
D= 2,666,666.6
Now I will take this as 2,666,666.
So what happens? The game has to convert 1,333,333 torches into items and 1,333,333 blocks of sand into the falling entity block. These are spawned in the air.
These need to fall to the ground. So every game tick the game has to update the 2,666,666 items. So that is 53,333,333 updates per second for each of you wanting to know.
From experience the voxelbox server used to be able to take only up to 5000 updates in a single game tick. So maybe the best servers will be able to take 20,000 updates. But this is still 133 times more updates than that! So I can safely say that this will PROBABLY crash a server .
P.s. 2. Even when my mini one is complete there'll be 227,157 updates per game tick.
