The purpose of this thread is pretty simple: Discuss anything Minecraft or Minecraft related.

c u b e

I was imagining that Conway's Game of Life should make it to Minecraft somehow.

Let's say they add a new type of flower. Every 5 minutes, it advances one generation. Bone meal will instantly advance it by 10 generations. The trick, though, is that they can't be placed; you have to let them grow into patterns. They initially start in a pond formation; break any one block and it will start to become a honey farm. As most common still lifes can't grow if you remove a cell, you'll have to harvest the flower as it's in the middle of a sequence or place a block in advance as an obstacle if you're going to be absent for a while.

Using the new flower in suspicious stew gives you the Resistance effect for 8 seconds.

One possible example of how to farm this flower without having it die is shown below. If you do let it settle afterwards (maybe you're in multiplayer and you have to sleep in real life), removing the correct cell from a long boat will put it into the century sequence.

Some screenshots of my redstone computer:

I believe redstone computer and the like are trivial to anyone here.

On the other hoof, my battling skills are as bad as my chess play.

I often play a superflat world with the time always being night, and give myself diamond swords and diamond helmets and the like to me. I did pretty bad in it.

Not for me. I understand what individual components do mostly (even comparators), but I simply cannot understand how they work together, and stuff like BUD powering and quasi-connectivity make it even worse.

I have no idea how to build a redstone computer or how a redstone computer even works. The only thing I can remember that is computer related are the truth tables for all the logic gates, but I don't know how to use logic gates to make a computer in MC, let alone program a redstone computer in MC. Someone once suggested that I use a tool called nandgame to help me out, but learning anything from that game is either difficult or straight up impossible for me.

I know how to make logic gates and stuff and how to make basic things but frankly I have no idea how to put logic gates together to make a computer.

I mean me too. I can make something like a full adder or anything really simple and maybe (emphasis on maybe) a computer, depending on how you define it. I guess something directly based on a Turing machine is probably simple enough, but I really don't know what Anonymous Glider's computer is exactly. I might actually try to make one myself now now that I've said that it's at least possible.

What things exist in both Life and Minecraft?

• Block

• Boat

• Beacon

• Pond

• Cap (in Minecraft, it's what the leather head armor is called, while other materials are helmets)

• Loaf (just called bread in Minecraft, although the picture is clearly a loaf of bread

• Beehive (as of a recent Minecraft update), and if you create one, a honey farm

• Logic gates

• Turing machine (limited by size in Minecraft)

• Tick (more of a concept than a thing)

• Clock

• Spider

• Swine (called pigs in Minecraft, but they're synonyms)

• Cow

• Rabbits/bunnies

• Fox

• Sometimes the XWSSes are called fish

• Heart

• Explosion (in OCA)

B3/S23 exists in minecraft as well, as a quick google search reveals.

Well at the very least, you could put together a ByteByteJump, which is all of a technicality a computer.

Can anyone help me find where on the internet this screenshot was posted? (and if the original poster also provided a world download for the build) By searching this image on google I found out about something called Project Eden (this: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/eden-57694/), but I'm not sure if this planetminecraft page has the original map from the screenshot.

many people have done this already: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... me+of+life

I know it has been over a year since the last post but I found these interesting:
