This is just a pre-video warning to say it's all for fun
It's not particulary scientific, I just wanted to see what happened
Hello everyone, this is Mumbo and welcome back to another minecraft video
and in this one we're going to be doing something ever so slightly different
from my normal content because today we're going to be doing a bit of an experiment
As you guys know, recently I got myself a fairly beefy PC
I mean, I don't mean to brag but this thing is absolutely ridiculous
especially for someone who purely makes minecraft videos
Now I thought we'd experiment today and see if we could actually crash this new PC using minecraft
It's going to be a bit of a challenge and things are going to get fairly silly here but I think it should be good fun
So naturally the first thing I thought is let's use TNT
So let's see what we can do right here
Place in our TNT, we'll get the F3-screen up and...
let's see what happens to the frames per second
We're at 120 right now
We dropped...
Amazingly enough we dropped 5 FPS then
but let's face it, that doesn't really count as a crash, does it?
So what I've done is, I've constructed this thing right here
Now this is a big old wall of dispensers as you can see
And each one of these dispensers is filled to the brim with TNT
So what we're going to do is, we're going to make our way over to the input section
And we're going to see how much damage we can do to both the environment and also my computer
All we have to do is grab ourselves a button, give it a press and we will see what happens right here
Now, first things first, frames have dropped a little bit but I'm actually quite surprised that it's staying stable and...
Well, dispite quite a big frame drop right there...
It seems to have managed it!
We dropped down to 4 FPS then, which is actually a lot better than I was expecting!
But we're not done with the TNT dispenser just yet because I've decided to double it in size
Here is our original TNT wall and here is the second TNT wall, all of them are hooked up via redstone
And this thing is ready to go and I have to say, it looks very very daunting indeed
I'm a little bit concerned for my PC right here
I have a feeling we might get a crash on this one,
or at least we will hit 0 FPS
So let's pop around the back again, we'll place our button on this block right here
And if we give it a press, you should see that all of the redstone is activated
And that's a big frame drop, we've dropped down to 4 FPS already
The explosion is a little bit taxing, we've hit 2 FPS
And once again...
It's managed it, amazingly enough my PC has actually managed to do this one
And by the look of things...
It didn't... Oh! Okay, there we go, it's loading in, everything's sort of delayed and behind
Wow, that was very very strange and I'm still extremely impressed that this managed to work
Even if there was clearly a few timing issues because well...
We've got quite a large chunk of our TNT area missing now
But I think we're going to move away from the TNT stuff for now
We're going to come back to it towards the end of today's video
But now we're going to be moving on to mobs
I want to see if I can crash my PC using chickens just because
Well, I think that would be hilarious
So this is the little contraption that I've created
Here we have a dispenser running into a redstone clock with a bunch of hoppers and a bunch chests on top of it
And inside those chests we've got a ton of chicken spawn eggs
Now, all of these hoppers running into the dispenser, hopefully they will be able to keep it filled up
And all I have to do is, I have to activate this lever right here and that will begin the dispensing
Now this thing is very quick and as you can see the chickens are really flowing out
And my frame rate, well it's doing a decent job at staying up there
However we've already started dropping below my capped 120 FPS
We're now down to 110, we've dropped to 60!
This could be a tiny bit concerning
Are chickens going to be the thing that topples my computer?
That's going to be hard to believe
The 1000 milestone has been passed, we're currently around about 40 FPS
So clearly my computer is beginning to struggle here, I can actually hear the fans from the other room
But we're dropping to 30 FPS
This might be the point where minecraft begins to struggle massively
After around about 10 minutes of chicken dispensing, we have finally managed to get down to single digits
We're at 7 FPS currently and we have got about two and a half thousand chickens right here
Which is pretty good going but it has been about 10-15 minutes which means it is going to take
A very long time indeed to crash my PC so unfortunately at this point in time using this system
I don't think this is the solution so how about we move away from chickens and start taking a look at items
I want to see if we can crash my PC using raw items alone, it's going to be a bit of an odd one
To speed things up a little bit, I've repurposed the TNT wall to give us a bunch of dispensers
Filled with a bunch of items, now if we head around the back and hit this button right here you can see...
All of the items are dispensed from all of the dispensers and it all lands on the floor
Now it goes right away across here and as you just saw my computer didn't even bat an eyelid at that
Now there is one slight problem with this and that is the fact that we've got the 5 minute despawn timer
To play against so I think what I'm going to do is, hook this up to a redstone clock
So that we can make it really nice and fast because otherwise
Well, we're probably going to struggle to crash the computer
And in 3...
2...
1... And there we go
The item has been thrown into the hoppers
And we should now get a redstone clock running into all of the dispensers, there it is
There all flying out onto the floor right away across the line
And there is one thing that I hadn't really though off here which is the entity loading distance
I mean, we can't actually see off in that direction or off in that direction
So it only counts what you can see on the screen right here but already
My computer is visibly struggling both with the redstone and also the items being dispensed and falling
Right now we are sat at around about 30 FPS but as soon as the items are in the air
It drops down to around about 17 FPS until they all stack up together in their little stacks
And then it's totally fine
So by the looks of things, no matter how many items we have on the floor here, my computer can handle it
Because of the way that minecraft efficiently packs items when they're laying on the ground
Clearly I spoke a little bit too soon on that one
Because after 5 minutes of item dispensing with the maximum number of items on the floor
Without all of them despawning, we have managed to get 2 FPS
Now, 2 FPS that is, that is very slow in fact it just dropped down to 1 FPS right there
But it's not crashing, we haven't completely crashed the PC and minecraft is still responding just about
So now we're going to move away from items and we're going to take a look at redstone itself
I want to see if we can just crash minecraft using pistons, repeaters and redstone
So this right here is a line of pistons, this right here is a line of redstone and that is a comparator clock
Flick the lever and we get a horrible, horrible noise
Now this should be perfect for creating large quantities of lag
Even this little module right here is dropping us down to about 105 FPS
Which is fairly impressive so let's multiply it by quite a large number and see what happens
Here it goes, 3...
2...
1... And loading the world right now
Seems to be doing okay, we've got 6 FPS already and we haven't even started which isn't the best news
All that seems to have happened...
Is redstone seems to have slowed down
I mean, this is exactly the same comparator clock, okay, this is exactly the same comparator clock
that I just showed you, this is meant to fire every single redstone tick
That's how that's meant to work, clearly the redstone tick speed has just slowed down completely
The sun's still moving at a normal speed, everything is still working as per usual
It's just the redstone is running slower and all of our pistons are turning very, very transparent
Well you know what, this is one result I really, really wasn't expecting, I thought this was going to be the one
That really ruined the PC but clearly that isn't the case, we're cruising around at very smooth FPS
In fact it's almost like this isn't actually happening
I'm so surprised, there's so much redstone going on here
Why isn't my computer on fire, I feel like I've finally complained
So all of those, all of those there were childsplay compared to what I've just created
I came up with an idea, you can see it in my inventory right now
Place a few sand like this and then yeah, sand falls, it's affected by gravity
You see that big black shadow there?
It's a big old block off sand, now, I refuse to believe that my computer's going to be able to survive this one
I mean it's as simple as that, there's no way that that's going to happen
It's simple, this much sand falling
Well, quite frankly, it's going to be a beautiful sight but also a very slideshowy sight as well so...
Let's just get the show on the road and update one of these blocks, I'm a little bit afraid!
I'm going to get Chillblast on the phone already prepairing a replacement PC because here we go
Wow!
That looks amazing until...
Yep, the predictable has happened, we've already hit 1 FPS
Could this be the thing that does it? I just saw 0 on the screen
And it's only going to get worse from this point, it does look incredible though, doesn't it?
I mean that is beautiful
Mathematically beautiful and it's still working, I can still control the player just about
I'm looking around
I've just flown forwards for a little while let's see if that happens, it looks like it is
I'm surprised that we haven't crashed already, I thought we would have fully crashed out of the game
But I did just see "Not responding" so this could be the one
I'm going to try my best to keep you guys updated right here
Amazingly enough the game is still somehow running
I have tried to exit the game and it won't actually let me at this point in time which is a very bizar crash indeed
But it is refusing to crash, occasionally we're getting some updates on the screen
I don't know if I'd count that as a crash or not
I mean look, you can see things are happening, if we left this for long enough
All of the sand from that block would end up on the floor but I think I'd probably die before that happens
So what we're going to do is, we're going to move on to the next one
We're going to be popping back over to TNT because, well, I feel like we've got some more work to do over there
So obviously at the start of today's video we took a look at some TNT dispensers
Now sadly they didn't have the desired result, they weren't particularly very big, my idea was
That we had a lot of TNT exploding at exactly at the same time
Creating a huge spike of lag that could potentionally crash the game
But clearly...
That didn't work, so I've gone back to oldschool methods, this right here is a 200 by 200 cube of TNT
And all we're going to do...
Is take our flint and steel, we're going to approach this thing and we're going to light one of the TNT blocks
Now let's take a step back, hit F1 and see what happens, right, it's going well
It's going, it's NOT going well!
We have hit 0 FPS almost instantly!
This could be what does it!
Alright, we've got lots of things happening, it's still sort of managing!
But now it's not...
And guys, this screen's just come up, oh okay, it's just gone, this screen though
I'll put it up there because I highly doubt you saw it
But I've been recording with OBS as well, it has literally just come on
Fantastic! We've...
So there we have it guys, we just about managed to crash minecraft on the new PC
It is quite impressive and it took quite a lot of work but we got there in the end and I personally am very chuffed
That being said though, I feel like we can do it in better and more creative ways
So let me know your suggestions down in the comment section and there's a chance I'll do another video just like this one
But unfortunately ladies and gents that's all I've got time for today
