Any% Ant block | The rarest block in Minecraft

The ant block by far the most mysterious and the rarest block in the entirety of minecraft in the 20 w14 infinity snapshot on april 1st 2020 minecraft released infinite dimensions if you built a nether portal and wrote the word ant into a book and quill then threw it into the nether portal

You’d be teleported to the ants dimension this dimension is an empty dimension with a plain concrete floor and if you broke the concrete floor there’d be nothing but the void after further exploration you would stumble upon a very glitched block also known as the ant blog this block would teleport everywhere leaving a

Black trail underneath it and where the block spawned is a sign with the word patience on it now what is the meaning of this blog and why is it so random the ant block originates from langton’s ant but what is langton’s ant now langton’s ant is a two dimensional

Universal turing machine now if you don’t know what a turing machine is i’ll put the definition on the screen because i’m not a nerd and i don’t understand what this means this turing machine has a very simple set of rules but a complex behavior it was invented by chris langton in 1996

And runs on a square lattice of black and white blocks but how does langton’s amp work at a white square the ant block has to turn 90 degrees clockwise and flip the color of the square then it has to move forward one block at a black square it has to turn 90 degrees

Counterclockwise then flip the color of the square and move forward one block this process is repeated until it creates this really weird pattern after a while this pattern repeats itself and if you look at this section it kind of goes on infinitely but enough of this nerdy nonsense

Today i decided to set myself a challenge and this challenger was to speedrun getting the ant block now the amp block is actually impossible to get into your inventory so i’ll be speedrunning going to it but in order to do this i need a perfect seed a seed with a quick nether entry

A village at spawn and quick access to a book and quill but anyway enjoy the run ladies and gentlemen it’s run time now this is probably one of my most favorite seeds ever as it’s so iconic as you’ll see now it’ll load in any minute

Right it’s loaded in and this is where i slack off i think i’m either answering a phone call or watching a tick tock but i should start the run right now yep i’ve started you can see why it’s so iconic because on the right hand side there’s a wooden mansion and they are

So rare but the main thing we’re focusing on is the village as i have to climb up this little dirt mound here with my terrible parkour skills but i managed to get up and i’m aiming for that lonely tree over there i go to mine forward for my sexual tools why this bee

Is trying to push me but anyway i mind the wood very slowly I get my wood and i quickly craft my crafting table and sticks and i i do something quite clever here so i aim for this little farm over there and um i go to get some food or one carrot and i hate the iron golem now go on the

Composter place the wood and place a crafting table this is a quick way to gain height and a quick way to get all my tools so i get my iron axe and slowly but surely i kill the iron golem this is probably one of my favorite parts of the

Run because i just love seeing the iron golem die i’m not a maniac i promise you but it’s pretty fun so i get i get the iron golem and i’m pretty sure i get four iron which is the perfect amount because i need one bucket and a flint and steel

But yeah i’m very slow at quick crafting so here i am making a bucket uh i failed to get the water for some reason but i craft oh mine the crafting table sorry and i head off now this is where i head off to the library now the library is a

Quick way to get book so i get my axe and i mine the book and the library is placed in the optimal location because right next to the library is a swamp and the swamp is where i need to get a ink sack i believe

And an ink sac is used to craft a book and quill now i get this one squid with my axe he just waddles around the place and i head off to get the chicken now there wasn’t many chickens anywhere but there was this one chicken that kept

On spawning in this dark oak biome and i decided to call him harold not sure why but he’s kept on spawning in the same location so i decided to go up here and i’m sorry for the lag as well i’ve got a very high-end pc but for some reason it was lagging

I think it’s something to do with the snapshot but i think harold should be somewhere around here yep yep bye-bye harold i get my feather and i head off doing some more parkour on the trees this is where i go to get the gravel and the gravel is located next to water

Now theoretically i could have got my squids here but because of the flow i just decided to get the gravel here so the gravel’s on the side of the shore i get my shovel out and i start mining uh the droplet wasn’t that bad but i got flint quite quickly i believe uh

Yeah there’s my flint so i needed actually quite a few gravel to make my nether portal but anyway i used my parkour skills over here again to quickly head over to the lava pool as i sort out my infantry uh more hill jumping and i just sprint jump over to the lava pool You could admire the woodland mansion a bit more but i think it’s pretty cool it’s a woodland mansion there never really done a a speed run with a woodland mansion but here i go over to the lava pool and i i’m not very quick at building a lava pool for your information i’m

Really really slow but uh here i am trying my best at making a nether portal it’s quite hard you know i tried to place a book down but anyway i use i place my crafting table up there because i i use it for crafting and it’s actually quite efficient and

I think it’s a clever thing i did there but i build it the portal very slowly get my wooden pickaxe mine the stone As i fail to get the lava there but this is where i make my flint and steel and my book i do this relatively quickly and i’m not a quick typer so i just quickly typed in the word ant i lit the portal through my flint and

Steel in but i also threw the ant book in and this is where i teleport in the world this is the coolest part the empty void and now i remembered that the ant block is always to the south east of the portal so i head down here

And this is the long tedious process of me walking through this empty void i tried to spice it up with some parkour jumps and i’m going straight through here I’m running through the empty void four minutes and 13 seconds on the clock you can admire my skin and the emptiness and in the distance you can actually see the little specks of the ant block and here we are we’re arriving at the am block right here

Four minutes and 25 seconds i’m here at the amp block this is probably one of my coolest runs and i’m sure professional speedrunners out there can do it faster than i could thank you guys ever so much for watching the video and i hope you enjoyed the run and as i said

If there aren’t any professional speedrunners out there who are willing to do the challenge then go ahead because i’m sure you can beat my time and slash it in half but anyway my social medias will be on screen and i’m going to stream every weekend on

My twitch so please go check me out link in bio thank you for watching and i’ll see you next time Bye
