How I Built the Entire Universe in Minecraft

This this is the universe home to the most powerful spectacles in existence and I’m about to build it in Minecraft I mean everything from the smallest planet to the entire universe itself but first we’re going to start with our home Earth and the only way to truly appreciate the

Beauty of our planet is by jumping out of an airplane Foreign I just jumped out of an airplane turns out I saw a lot up there but not nearly enough to build the entire planet so I had to turn to my trusty friend the globe little did I know how useful this thing would actually be I could measure the

Exact location of every continent to perfectly replicate the planet I can’t believe that actually worked but the continents were nothing compared to recreating the exact colors of every jungle desert and ocean on our planet this ended up taking me three days space light is extremely intense on one side

Of the planet you have just blinding lights and on the other side an eternal void of darkness and because Normal Minecraft doesn’t have space light I made my own apparently you can paint with light in Minecraft oh no way this is sick but at the time I had no idea

That this small detail was literally going to be the reason that everything you see in this video was possible what’s crazy is that this is just the beginning and it’s already massive to put it into context I had built One Planet out of a hundred billion in the

Milky Way alone not to mention the entire universe which contains roughly this many planets I don’t even know what that number is well on to the solar system it turned out I was gonna have to make the Earth and all the other tiny planets nearly 700 000 times smaller if everything was

Going to fit so small that a single Minecraft block would take over five days to walk across this is where things get complicated because every other planet was tilted meaning I had to paint and build every ring of color at an angle this became a real problem when I

Got to Saturn okay it took me an entire day just to space out and tilt all of its rings I even had to relearn the Pythagorean theorem just to measure their distance foreign [Applause] It is so satisfying to look at this and know that it is Minecraft this planet is massive after Saturn I moved on to building the last gas giants which turns out also have rings but now it was time for massive energy that was a thousand times larger than the biggest planet I had

Built so far so large that you could fit Earth in a single block the sun oh God my eyes what’s terrifying is that in terms of raw power sun is nothing compared to what’s coming up my goal for the sun well I wanted it to look like hot radioactive death not only

Did I use the brightest blocks in Minecraft but I also added massive solar flares coming off of it to make the entire thing feel alive with fire this barely even looks like Minecraft oh my god oh there’s a mod that lets me load a thousand chunks at once oh my God

I’m loading a thousand chunks right now that’s so cool but I wasn’t just trying to build the solar system I wanted more I wanted the entirety of existence itself to be within my grasp the whole Universal world away so so far we have built one out of 200 billion trillion

Star systems we have to go bigger but how was I gonna build a nebula black hole Galaxy anything if I could barely load in our solar system I had a genius plan obviously I couldn’t actually fit the entire universe in Minecraft but I could do the next best thing you see

Every time I made a build the actual scale was gonna stay almost exactly the same while the size of the object in the universe was going to get exponentially larger and light years well that was the plan at least starting with one of the most famous space photos ever The

Pillars of Creation that’s intense man despite the name I had no idea how hard this would actually be I wasn’t just building planets anymore I was building Galactic entities more powerful than anything you could possibly imagine and I wanted to show it I used the same measuring idea from the Earth to make

Everything exact after the outline I built what would soon be the massive clouds of space gas that would form the pillars oh wow I just realized how big this thing actually is I thought you could like stand right next to it and still be seen but no this thing is hold on

175 times larger than the solar system that we just made and this thing was made of almost every block in the game and I have to build all of this not to mention the lighting the Stars the magical glowing background it took two straight days of painting just to get

The colors right before I can move on to the Stars which by the way weren’t normal Stars okay you see that how do I build that not only did I build the literal shine of the stars but I also painted the entire thing with the exact

Lighting shown in the image and with the glowing blue haze added in the background it was done foreign I wonder if I could trick someone into thinking this is real I’m gonna send you the photo that I went off of and then I’m gonna send you my

Bill okay this is the first photo okay wait is that yours oh my god did you make that or is that the picture I saw the image problem was like oh okay so that’s the image and I was like wait but this was just the beginning when it

Came to the builds becoming almost identical to real life because it was time for the most powerful object in the universe something heavier than billions of stars that light can’t even escape a supermassive black hole okay you know that giant black hole from the movie Interstellar yeah we’re gonna build that

One but I had no idea that this would end up being the hardest thing I have ever built in my nine years of playing this game okay I haven’t even started and I’m already lost what is this I don’t even know how to describe it I just spent five hours figuring out how

To make this on paper and my brain physically hurts let me explain if we try to imagine the black hole the accretion disc would Technic but this isn’t accounting for the Superman I was basically trying to build an object that bends light itself it’s not like you can

Just move around a black hole and see the other side of its glowing disc no the whole thing is just gonna warp meaning I was building something that should literally be impossible and yes I’m still up here I started on the glowing disc that bent around the black

Hole and I immediately began to realize how complex this was actually gonna be okay here’s the problem there’s not one disc there’s three and each disc has to perfectly Bend into the other to create the illusion of a black hole to start I somehow had to make these two discs that

Were completely different sizes curve into each other in a game that is made of Cubes oh my God what am I doing with my life I’ve been sitting in this tiny sweaty room for eight hours trying to build the curve on a black hole I was trying and failing over and over again

Until oh my God I think I just figured it out basically I can use hundreds of lines as a guide for a perfect slope oh my God yes I just finished all of the discs remember how I said being able to paint with light would be crucial I was

Going to have to make this black hole the brightest build in this entire video brighter than billion Sons there can be no mistake in this entire thing every line every color has to bend perfectly or the entire illusion of this build is gonna fall apart after painting the hot

White center ring I slowly faded the colors Into Darkness adding wisps of gas made of various blocks this is so much better than what I imagined this is the most satisfying build I think I’ve ever made it was time to move to an even more unimaginable Cosmic scale something that

Shines with billions of stars galaxies and not just one but an entire cluster of them but first I had to see them for myself and the only way to do that would be to hike thousands of feet in elevation to the very top of the highest peak and

This was my guide Ian you’re the first person I’ve seen in two weeks we have to get all the way up there this is making me realize how out of shape I am oh my God oh this is so high but as soon as the

Sun set it was time to break out the instrument and uh not gonna lie all I saw through that thing was a blurry Moon and uh it still doesn’t work but it didn’t matter we were surrounded by the cosmos millions of stars right before our eyes

But then I remembered my goal I wanted all of it every Star within my grasp the entire universe a click away I had to figure out how I was gonna build not one but an entire cluster of galaxies it took me hours just to match the swirl of

A single one okay so here’s the game plan I’m gonna start at the center with the darkest colors and work my way out and just see what happens eventually I had a cobweb of dark spinning gas around the center I used this as a sort of skeleton to build out the Galaxy’s

Brightest arms which would eventually carry its stars but there was a problem this doesn’t look real at all and I have no clue how to change it think think basically this light trick doesn’t work the entire build is trashed it didn’t just work it brought them to

Life out of nowhere I had an almost perfectly realistic Galaxy shining in the void I added all the different stars shining on the brightest spots and oh my God yes and this is just the first one and it was only downhill from there I moved on to the next perfecting the

Process adding different shades and variations I built Galaxy after Galaxy scattering them through my new Cosmos until the darkness was filled with the light of over a trillion Stars swirling through space I had created nearly every structure that formed the very fabric of existence itself if you are not already subscribed what are you doing the videos are only going to get more insane from here and you do not want to miss out and before we build the entire universe let’s take

A step back it’s time to see if my builds truly can rival the raw and humbling power of our universe good foreign I have no idea how I’m gonna make this possible we essentially need to build a giant glowing bubble when you zoom this far out the universe just looks like a giant cobweb of connections the galaxies that we just made would it fit on a single Pixel of a block little did I

Know this network of super clusters would take me over a week to build I started with the brightest that would shine through the universe and worked my way out slowly creating every Galactic intersection in our universe but of course there was a problem it looked nothing like the real Universe instead

It looks like some giant ball of Tangled yarn what’s scary is I feel like there’s only one way to do this and it’s not working I would either end up with the perfect Universe shining before my eyes or a tangle of threads that took me over

50 hours to build and there was only one option I finished off the connections before I moved on to the first phases of bringing our universe to light and this is where things took a turn I rounded off the edges creating a perfect sphere glowing in the night it feels like this

Just might actually work with the lighting finished it was time for the final and most crucial detail Stars even though it would literally be impossible to make out a single star from this distance I still did it sprinkling Stars throughout our Cosmos and that was it

After over a month of work the entire universe was right before my eyes Subscribe
