Description
In an amazing feat of Minecraft redstone crafting, project manager Sammyuri and his team created Chungus 2, a fully functional Minecraft built-in PC that allows players to play Minecraft while playing Minecraft. Called the Computational Humongous Unconventional Number and Graphics Unit, this incredible virtual machine was designed over several months using only Minecraft materials and a healthy dose of code.
While a 2D version of Minecraft was created in Minecraft using redstone back in 2012, Chungus 2 takes it to new heights by playing the game in 3D. The CPU runs at just 1 Hz and the AMOGUS GPU only has 6 KB of graphics memory, which renders graphics in only two colors: maroon and maroon. Despite its low specs, the Chungus 2 can craft, smell, and perform all the classic Minecraft actions, albeit at a 96 x 64p resolution that may require superhuman eyesight to spot. Chungus 2 can not only run Tetris, Snake, Conways Game of Life, and render Mandlebrot sets, but it is also a testament to the amazing things that can be created in Minecraft. Sammyuri and his team are grateful to the Minecraft ORE server community for teaching them computer architecture and inspiring them to create this masterpiece, and for encouraging others to join in and learn the trade.
