What's the best way to find a cactus in Minecraft? If you answered "Build a supercomputer and check every single seed in existence on a supercomputer running a program that takes over 1 year to finish" then you'd be correct!

CORRECTION
I don't know how I missed this, but the naive approach definitely wouldn't require 200,000 seeds per second, I meant 200,000 seeds per day. Not really a big issue but a couple people pointed it out.

Mathematicians wastes time on useless concepts all of the time. When “i” or √-1 was first introduced in 1545, everyone back then thought it was just a nice curiosity without any practical application or even straight up nonsense. We know now that it’s one of the building blocks behind how the internet works (FFM) and the basis for quantum physics but back then it was considered practically useless by almost everyone Give it a few centuries (or a few decades seeing how fast technology is advancing) and a use will come out of this outside of Minecraft Edit: Actually considering the nature of the Information Age today there’s probably already 10 projects that uses the code of this to do other stuff

There's probably code reasons why it can't get anywhere near this, but very naively, theoretically, since each chunk can generate up to 10 cacti, and each cactus can be up to 3 blocks tall, and up to 4 chunks could bleed into each other, there could be a natural cactus somewhere out there in the Minecraft multiverse that's 120 blocks tall. Even though that's probably way off, I am interested in what the current theoretical upper bound for Big Cactus is.

@Therevengeforget Месяц назад

Theoretically, a Cactus could commit a Nomad and travel from a chunk to a different one due to terrain always cock-blocking it, adding to the cactus being potentially 255 tall

@HellCastleYT Месяц назад

from what i understood from the code, each cactus also tries to generate 10 times before giving up, but it can choose air blocks to try to generate in because the code doesn't know what the terrain looks like until it checks if a block is valid for a cactus. I didn't illustrate that in my video for the sake of simplicity though so I can see the confusion

@Therevengeforget Месяц назад

@@HellCastleYT So... assuming a cactus travels 3 blocks per fail, it can travel 2 blocks short of 2 entire chunks.

@FlatlandsSurvivor Месяц назад

So, ignoring the trivialities of such as the seed existing, what is the hypothetical highest cactus that could ever generate? Can failures to generate cause cacti generation to navigate multiple chunks? Are there any structures that include cacti to potentially stack standard cacti generation on? Has cacti generation changed at all in different versions in a way that would make different heights possible? What about any April Fools update things like Snapshot Infinity?

@HellCastleYT Месяц назад

its like theoretically possible that all 8 surrounding chunks could generate every cactus in the center of the 9th center chunk that the center chunk also generates to be really big and from a sand block at the bottom of a ravine at y=1 and create a sky limit cactus but the chances of that existing are so close to 0

the gpu vs cpu issue here would have easily been solved by the architecture of the Cell processor, since it's built similarly: a single PPU and 8 SPUs that can all work in parallel. it's hard to program for. but the workload capacity is insane. i wish the architecture hadn't been abandoned.

awesome for mentioning cloud computing. hadnt thought of this option for my bachelor thesis on CFD. this video solved a big headache of mine. thank you

The fact that there’s an alternate reality somewhere where a world ending super AI that ended the world was born due to people finding a tall cactus is hilarious

I think now we need to band even more people together and find the perfect seed for speedrunning in Minecraft

@SchooiYT Месяц назад

This topic is really interesting, and i really enjoyed the video. It is fascinating how people aqcuired that much computing power for just a game. You really went from skyblock to seed cracking & finding fast though 💀

If it was on a corner of 4 chunks could a ~50 block cactus theoretically be possible?

@cmposting Месяц назад

yep, the only limitation to finding it is that it becomes exponentially harder to find it, two times over for the 2 new chunks

@Makaneek5060 Месяц назад

4 chunk cactus finding could give us a height of 120, what an absolute monument.

8:00 for those that wants to know more the "seed" in this case, is the seed of java's Random Number Generator. Minecraft Java edition is... made in Java. and Java's RNG is actually a pseudo RNG, so it's not truly random, you can get back the same "random" numbers by setting the seed of the RNG, just like how you can get back the same world by setting the world seed. I don't know much about seed cracking since I only do plugins which is net Minecraft server, and not mods or whatever, which would be net Minecraft world

@Heavy-TF2 Месяц назад

so... theoretically, the maximum height for a cactus is 120 blocks tall

@thekingofcats27 Месяц назад

Accourding to this, a 120 block tall cactus is possible theoretically if 4 groups of 10 3 block tall cactuses combined in one corner, but it would be near impossible.

Couldn't there theoretically be a way taller cactus generated by 4 adjacent chunks?

4:12 this gave me a blast of nostalgia. I used to talk to all of them, I wonder where they are now. My old accounts have kinda been lost and yeah, wow. I remember everyone on that screen. the Cactus person gave a lot of computing power cuz they had access to some serious Nvidia GPU clusters or something haha. I remember well

@jucom756 24 дня назад

With 4 chunks it is technically possible to get a 60 block tall cactus. And with repetetevely failed spawn attemps that can be expanded to a theorethical 12 chunks, all trying 5 cacti, to get a 180 block tall cactus
