today we're gonna answer the most
important question of all time who is
the strongest fictional character ever
this is so important that I'm delaying
my normal intro does that make you
uncomfortable good because the answer to
this question blew my mind is it the
doom guy sonic Atlas Superman none of
these the answer is surprisingly simple
it is one person the last one you would
ever suspect Steve or Alex the the
Minecraft person crap on it I'm so
awkward without my intro [ __ ]
hi it's me Austin welcome
[Music]
in all interior this person this
knockoff Lego person with the square
head we're gonna prove it with the power
of swords are you ready I'm ready so
let's get to my quest to find the
strongest video game character is an old
one and it began with the doom guy cuz
like this dude Gary's a ton of weapons
and ammo and keeps up a brisk running
speed but honestly this guy all said and
done is kind of peanuts compared to most
fictional characters let alone a person
capable of holding multiple realities
and universes in the palm of their hands
like a god of gods of god of gods but
I'm getting ahead of myself
Mario only ever carries about two
kilograms of coins at a time the doom
guy only carries about 360 which
honestly is pretty impressive by human
standards but is a drop in the bucket of
what's possible in video games if we're
super generous with the weight of rings
and sonic he's capable of carrying one
thousand two hundred and twenty seven
point six kilograms at a time and
spider-man has a lift strength of ten
tons
all of them are nothing the Greek Titan
Atlas carried the entire world on his
shoulders pretty consistently which
weighs over five seven billion kilograms
now we're cooking Superman is about here
cuz he's apparently benchpress the earth
before but it gets worse
or-or-or or better characters like
Spectre Galactus and super tanking Toppa
Gurren Lagann
Lagaan look this guy exists on cosmic
scales and while we never see them
compete in a deadlift competition we can
be pretty certain that they're strong
enough to push entire stars without much
issue all and I mean all of these
characters pale in comparison to my girl
Alex and my boy Steve and we can prove
it using the heaviest thing in all of
Minecraft gold blocks gold blocks are
the heaviest objects in Minecraft being
a full cubic meter of gold since each
block in Minecraft is a cubic meter
which means each one of these things
would weigh nineteen thousand three
hundred kilograms or over 42,000 pounds
since the density of gold is 19 thousand
three hundred kilograms per cubic meter
god it's good because it gets way
crazier from here the Minecraft
protagonist can carry a lot of these
things and just being able to carry one
already makes them stronger than
spider-man and puts the character on par
with the strongest heroes at all of
comics and movies gold blocks can stack
into piles of 64 blocks weighing over 1
million kilograms and each of these
stacks fits into one inventory slot the
protagonists of Minecraft has four rows
of nine slots each plus an extra spot in
their hand which can hold another stack
of 64 making the number of stacks of 64
gold blocks total up to two thousand
three hundred and sixty eight cubic
meters a statue of gold it is this big
and no joke is more gold than is
currently or ever been in the total
total gold reserves for every nation on
earth at over 45,000 tons yeah
[Music]
[Applause]
fun fact if you wanted to mine this gold
for yourself to take almost 10 days of
just mining the ore at average drop
rates plus another two and a half days
of smelting so if you're super efficient
and budget a few hours of sleep followed
by a ton of grinding doesn't simulate
what it's like to be an edutainment
videogame youtuber without any of the
recognition in just two weeks please
push the like button and subscribe well
it's very impressive to hold more money
than the total world's gold reserves
combined in your bare hands you're
probably saying to yourself right now
hey wait a minute you promised that the
player character would be the strongest
character ever and if I recall correctly
you said Superman could benchpress the
earth and you would be right and
normally I would have ended the episode
right there from work for one tiny trick
that I literally stumbled upon by
accident trying to make sure that gold
blocks were actually the heaviest items
in Minecraft and I wasn't overlooking
something control picking thanks to a
video by youtuber san Karn
I learned of a new trick that is not a
glitch that allows you to break the pack
out of Minecraft by clicking an item
with the center mouse button in creative
mode while holding the control button
you can copy an item at all of its
properties into your inventory like I
don't know a box holding 27 stacks of 64
gold blocks or a box holding 27 stacks
of 64 boxes each holding 27 stacks of 64
gold blocks or maybe box holding 27
stacks of 64 box's holding 27 stacks of
64 box's holding 27 stacks of 64 gold
blocks gone forever thankfully we have a
backup hi it's me
Austin now there's some theorizing that
gold and enchanted apples may be heavier
than gold blocks but in recent patches
of the game there's no legitimate way to
make them yourself so the gold block
remains the heaviest object in the game
anyway Sam corn figured out this method
so credit where credit is due and it's
here that things get absolutely freakin
out of control
now it might seem that because of this
method that there's an infinite number
of gold blocks you can carry but that's
actually not the case there's an actual
limit programmed into the game for how
many properties an item can have and
that limit is what's known as the named
binary tag depth limit for both ta G
list and ta G compound the limit is 512
bits but chests take up 3 bits of this
information being that our actual limit
is about 171 that's 171 nested layers of
boxes with boxes with boxes with boxes
with boxes Wow seriously this episode
has an awesome kill count of two good
thing I have some number of backup
Austin's ready now compared to the
weight of the gold inside them the
weight of the boxes is negligible so
let's just focus on the goal how much
weight can our Minecraft person actually
carry the formula for the max capacity
of one box is deceptively simple but it
will break most calculators 64 times 27
to the 170 first power
Byam fun fact the second at your seventh
layer as you're placing ultra-dense
boxes inside each other this box would
exceed the mass needed for the Swartz
chilled radius of 1 meter meaning it
would collapse in on itself into the
form of a black hole and we've got so
many more to go at layer 20 you can
contain more mass than exists in the
entire universe the galaxies in Orion's
belt
suck on this met in black we can carry
the entire universe in a tiny wooden box
this goes on and on and on until we get
to a total number of gold blocks at our
final layer in our final boxes of four
point one six eight four nine four four
zero zero three two five eight three
nine nine three six eight four six one
seven five eight zero one four three one
seven nine zero one two five six three
five one three five zero six two four
seven
seven nine oh nine times ten to the five
hundred and fifty third power which
would weigh eight point zero four five

eight seven one zero seven eight one one
three one one nine two nine six seven
six three three five four nine four two
four seven five eight one zero six seven
zero five eight two one three six five
times ten to the 550 seventh power
kilograms but we are not done because
that is just one box at knacks capacity
these boxes can stack into a stack of 64
two point six six seven eight times ten
to the 550 fifth gold blocks but we're
not done yet because look at all these
inventory slots 27 plus nine plus one
stack in the off hand equals 37 stacks
of 64 boxes giving us a final number of
gold blocks Steve Xperia v 9 point eight

kilograms or over six point three five
times ten to the 550 our universe's all
of these being carried like it's
absolutely nothing by this little person
and if you switch from creative to
survival the number sticks no problem no
encumbrance Steve --ax our little Steve
X is a God masquerading as a normal
person this is an individual capable of
holding the infinite cosmos every
possible alternate quantum state and
reality every Schrodinger's cat ever
conceived of every saved game every
alternate history in the palm with her
hand like it's nothing and they choose
to make yes or this or this or this or
this or just be a humble farmer Steve
--ax is truly the strongest most
powerful being in all of existence
instead of ruling over existence like an
evil warlord they choose to do well
whatever they want I think there's a
beautiful listen there ultimately what
matters most in the world when you have
all the options available to you is a
peaceful idyllic life doing whatever you
want like a hobbit a hobbit that also
has to fight dragons and sometimes dumps
lava into houses for no apparent reason
okay nevermind don't you Steve are
Alex's guides for your own life just
fear them and praise well praise them
that they haven't decided to erase our
tiny box from existence just because
they're bored sincerely Austin
