Sped Up

It’s an extremely impressive demonstration of what’s possible inside Minecraft. But one hertz isn’t exactly blazing fast, either.

“I should probably have made this clearer in the video but all programs shown were sped up by a factor of between a hundred and a few thousand times in order to make them actually playable/watchable in real time,” Sammyuri wrote in a comment on their video. “While 1Hz is definitely fast for a [Minecraft] processor, it’s nowhere near as fast as the video may make it out to be.”

Despite having launched well over a decade go, Minecraft has proven itself to have incredible staying power. Especially during last year’s lockdowns, more and more people, children, teens, and adults alike, are spending time on one of the game’s many servers — and they’re getting more creative than ever.
