How long would it take to mine every Minecraft block?
Exploring how long it takes to mine every Minecraft block using various methods, from hand mining to advanced TNT machines.
Key Takeaways
- Mining every Minecraft block manually is extremely time-consuming.
- TNT can speed up mining but still has significant limitations.
- Advanced TNT duper flying machines greatly increase mining speed.
- Some blocks like obsidian require manual intervention due to their resistance to explosions.
- Mining the entire world is practically impossible within a human timeframe.
What the video covers
- The creator mines an entire Minecraft chunk by hand, taking 4 hours even with maxed out gear.
- Using TNT to blow up blocks speeds up the process but still takes about an hour per chunk.
- Built the world's largest world eater based on Euler's design using TNT duper flying machines for faster mining.
- The world eater mines massive areas much faster than manual TNT placement.
- Certain blocks like obsidian cannot be blown up, requiring manual oversight during mining.
- Mining the entire Minecraft world would require over 14 billion world eaters.
- Each world eater setup and run takes approximately 70 hours.
- The total estimated time to mine every block in the world is around 100 million years.
- Despite the impracticality, the experiment is considered 'totally worth it' for the creator.
- Demonstrates the challenges and scale of mining every block in Minecraft.

To find out, I started by mining an entire chunk by hand.
Speaker A
Even with maxed out gear, it still took 4 hours.
Speaker A
So to speed things up, I tried using TNT to blow up all the blocks.
Speaker A
It's definitely a lot faster and more satisfying than mining by hand.
Speaker A
But it took an hour to blow up a whole chunk, which is still way too slow.
Speaker A
So to mine in the fastest way possible, I built the world's largest world eater off of a design by Euler.
Speaker A
It uses TNT duper flying machines to mine out massive areas.
Speaker A
It's way faster than placing all the TNT by hand.
Speaker A
But the problem is there's blocks that can't blow up like obsidian, so you have to basically babysit it while it's running.
Speaker A
Over 14 billion world eaters to mine the entire world.
Speaker A
Each one takes 70 hours to set up and run, meaning everything would take around 100 million years.
Speaker A
Totally worth it.
