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.
