Lava. Preferably the molten kind.

The only thing is that if the minecrafters did live on the same planet, well:
1. They'd be pretty lonely. 8 Earths just for yourself... that sucks.
2. The gravity on the planet would turn every player into loving pancakes.
3. Asteroids the size of 8 Earths would fall every minutes. (The new players with new worlds)
4. Mountains would be pretty low and ultra rare.

Server.

It seems that the laws of space and time make it impossible for me to be in front of my computer when your server is on.
Why? D:

Games / The size of the Minecraft Planet

« on: August 27, 2011, 08:46:13 AM »

Well, I was playing Minecraft yesterday and I thought about something: "If all the minecrafters ruled one of their worlds and were living on the same planet, what would its size be?". Well it's humongous.

Let's review what we know:
- Notch claims that a minecraft world is pretty much 8 times the size of the earth.
- Our good old planet has a surface area of 510,072,000 km².

So, a minecraft world has an area of 510,072,000 x 8, which is equal to 4,080,576,000 km².

Now, recently the minecraft community has hit the ten million players mark recently, and is still growing.
That means the minecraft planet is 10 million 4,080,576,000 km² worlds, so that is:
4.080576 x 10¹⁶

In usual form, that is 40,805,760,000,000,000km²
To give you an idea, that's the surface area of 80 million earths or 6,703 suns.

Gigantic. Huh?
