The Possibility of Evolution in a Player-less Infinite Minecraft World

Introduction

• Minecraft: A game of creativity and randomness.
• The world is dynamic even without player intervention.
  • Sheep eat grass, mobs spawn and die, lightning strikes, trees burn.

Core Question

• What happens if Minecraft runs forever by itself without any player?
• Ignoring practical limits (processing power, memory, chunk loading), observe the world's evolution.

Mobs Moving Randomly

• Infinite time results in mobs moving to any desired block.
• Random movement through random number generators.
• Possible for mobs to end up in specific, unlikely locations (e.g., creeper on a jungle temple).
• Key point: Infinite time allows all possibilities, not just likely events.

Role of Endermen

• Endermen: Critical for complex outcomes.
  • Unique abilities: Pickup/place certain blocks, teleportation.
  • Create arbitrary structures over infinite time.
  • Random block placement can lead to patterns, pillars, text.
  • Transport blocks across varied terrains.

Constructing Snow Golems

• Endermen can construct snow golems.
  • Pick up a carved pumpkin and place it on snow blocks.

Snow Golems' Abilities

• Aggressive towards hostile mobs (e.g., skeletons).
• Trigger actions from mobs (e.g., skeletons shooting flaming arrows).

Creating Explosions

• Using explosions for environmental changes.
  • Endermen's placement of TNT and ignition by skeletons.
  • Rare scenarios: TNT blocks in woodland mansions.

Digging Below Surface

• Explosions enable access to underground locations (e.g., stronghold, portal room).

Defeating the Ender Dragon

• Possible without player intervention.
  • Endermen create staircases, snow golems and skeletons destroy end crystals.
  • Using TNT to damage and eventually kill the dragon.

Post-Dragon Defeat

• Drop dragon egg into overworld: Foxes can pick it up.

Exploring the End

• Limitations in bridge construction over empty space.
• Endermen cannot reach outer islands of The End.
  • Possible use of frost walker boots and sand for alternate methods.

Draining Ocean Monuments

• Using explosions and sand to drain monuments.
  • Finishing off elder guardians with TNT.

Lighting a Nether Portal

• Specific world generation required for lighting portals.
  • Use of ruined portals, lava, and obsidian.
  • Sequence of events: Endermen, aqueducts, precise TNT placement.

Connecting All Dimensions

• Create a functioning Nether portal, transfer overworld mobs to Nether.
• Natural transportation of mobs between dimensions.

Conclusion

• Infinite time and random movement lead to remarkable events without player intervention.
• Comparable to Infinite Monkey Theorem: eventually potential for highly structured outcomes.
• Summarizing the creativity and analytical fun.
