minecraft versus my computer sometimes i
think it's good to do a bit of a stress
test you know i've got a gnarly computer
there's no denying that it's a bit of a
beast and minecraft 1.15 has just
released and it comes with a few
performance upgrades namedly to tnt
which we're definitely going to be
testing out in today's video so i
thought it would be good to do a little
bit of a contest mc versus pc as it were
let's get things started with some bees
these have just been introduced in
minecraft 1.15 and wow they're already
lagging my computer are you joking
what okay it looks like that was just a
one-off as they were spawning but that
doesn't mean that if we start spawning
ridiculous numbers of these which i do
plan on doing uh we could we could
potentially run into some trouble all
right let's start real easy okay we'll
go easy on the old computer wow they
really just fall out of these things
don't they they don't really take flight
immediately
but right now everything seems to be
pretty fine
we're not really struggling at all
i mean my fps seems to be staying fairly
stable although it is dropping gradually
we're still
firmly within the 150 fps range
so i think we're safe here right we need
to go bigger and let's face it watching
one dispenser fire is quite boring so
let's plays a hundred so that means
every single time this thing fires 100
bees are going to be launched out into
the world and it's going to be happening
multiple times per second so i imagine
things are going to hot up relatively
quickly here
oh goodness
[Laughter]
all right
it's still doing semi-okay though it's
very much slowing down now though okay
okay okay okay okay
i mean how many entities are we looking
at so far that's like three thousand
there's a lot of bees here
[Laughter]
[Music]
that is intense
wow it's like a solid block of bees
i'm still tempted to do more dispensers
i can't help myself you know i re i
really can't help myself it's a problem
but i think we can all agree that nearly
1 000 dispenses does look pretty cool
though doesn't it
and i imagine
that when we enter in
this little command right here
it's going to start looking even more
stupid did you see that the game just
kind of stalled
oh holy mackerel
i mean
oh it's difficult to see what's going on
here
we have a wall of bees
and every single time this thing fires
another 1 000 bees are brought into the
world
i thought i would leave this thing
running for a little while longer just
to see what happened
and we're starting to get the early
stages of a crash
like the screen just went white i've got
not responding in the top left corner
but it it's still kind of just about
holding on somehow
and after a few more minutes in that
world we still managed to hang on
somehow it was a frame a minute okay but
we were still going so let's take a look
at tnt now i'm hoping with the changes
that they've made to tnt making it a lot
more efficient and less laggy uh we
should actually be able to see a fairly
nice
sequence here
which we definitely did that was a
thousand pieces of tnt we managed to see
everything flying through the air
that was cool
okay let's increase sizes a little bit
with a 22 by 22 by 22 sized cube they
might sound like slightly strange
numbers to choose for the dimensions but
that gives us approximately 10 000 tnt
on the inside of this thing
and now i'm starting to think that my
computer is definitely going to struggle
i mean there's no way that it can't that
is a lot of entities to be processing
as a big explosion to be processing
[Music]
but you know what it's kind of done
pretty hard decently i mean it's
it seems to be lasting a long time
but look how smooth this process is
goodness me
what is happening
it goes on for so long
it's smooth
but there's no way that it there's no
way the explosion's lasting this long
gradually we are mining our way down
into the floor
[Music]
okay the yeah it's finished
wow
cool that took like a direct hit that
looks nuts
[Laughter]
all right let's do some more this is
such a childish idea for a video by the
way this is like 12 year old me playing
minecraft right now i'm just curious
here i've replaced all of these
dispensers with tnt dispensers so now i
want to know is it going to be more
laggy if the tnt is dispensed because
obviously that is tons upon tons of
entities
wow that looks nuts okay that's already
laggy
that's already really laggy
there's a lot of falling entities here
goodness me
we might actually crash the game before
it even explodes
seriously this is causing some issues
for my computer right now
just the entities themselves
might crash my game
i i want to know what happens when this
starts exploding
we are at zero frames per second i'm
getting the spinny wheel i've got not
responding in my top left hand corner
and we haven't even started blowing up
the tnt yet
oh it looks like it's primed and ready
to go that looks crazy
it's so on the edge of crashing
i've never thought to do it like this
before just dispensing the tnt
a thousand tnt
[Music]
are we gonna lose it
i've got a spinny wheel of death my
screen's gone pure white
let's get let's get the pants off me i
wasn't expecting that in the slightest
[Laughter]
so we got off
we got our first explosions
but that has got to be the end for my
game surely if this starts blowing up
that has got to be it
or is it going to start performing
better because now tnt explosions are
actually handled really well
it's difficult to know
i don't believe it
the condition of my game seems to be
actually improving
wow
whoa
oh some more tnt's just dropped down
[Music]
oh my goodness and now we're gonna get
all the entities
it actually survived it
how nuts is this
it survived
my game is actually
mojang have done some absolute miracle
work
with tnt
they have seriously done some miracle
work with tnt
i'm i'm absolutely in shock at how well
the game handles tnt explosions now and
look how cool this is as well
the fact that it's still kind of blowing
up and gradually it's kind of
dismantling itself but we're still
getting tnt falling out
well that was a very interesting test
that was far more interesting than i
actually expected it to be okay let's
try something completely wild then i am
going to generate a world of tnt uh
super flat customized presets paste use
preset tnt block of red just don't hold
it no i'm about 99 certain that yeah
okay okay oh my word that is
oh gosh this probably isn't good oh oh
no it activated it
the game crashed
it's straight up just crashed it gave up
we we
killed my computer
we did it
i wasn't expecting that it didn't
nothing even happened
i think just the thought of destroying a
whole world killed the game i really
want to see if i can actually join this
world or if it's just going to crash
every single time
it crashed oh my it's gone so i guess we
succeeded in the tnt department that's
pretty interesting but there is another
department that i think we should visit
in minecraft 1.15 and that is
large-scale flying machines and these
flying machines are going to be
specifically designed to be as laggy as
possible you see the thing that causes
issues with flying machines at least as
far as i can tell is lighting updates so
the fact that the lighting updates have
to cascade all the way down to the
ground actually makes things really
really challenging so i'm going to make
a massive kind of moving ceiling above
this area and we'll start moving it
around and of course this is only
recently become possible due to the fact
that slime blocks were introduced into
the game in minecraft 1.15 and i cannot
be doing that because that definitely
wouldn't have worked we do have a slight
problem though in that if if i do try
and clone these uh it seems to activate
the observers and they start to fly off
i'll be honest i'm really not sure what
to expect with this one it could either
be incredibly laggy or my computer will
barely even notice it's happening let's
see what happens here
i mean it's
it's frame ratey okay it's definitely
causing quite a lot of issues given how
simple it is we're down to 20 frames per
second and that is due to those moving
light patches there
but it's not causing huge problems
however i imagine if we multiply this
quite far aka all the way across the
world
then we're going to start running into
some serious issues i'm also going to
double the length of this thing so we're
going to add a few more modules out the
front of it and we're also going to
stretch it across two this has to have
some form of effect on my computer
surely the more i build these things the
more and more i think that this could
actually be a bit of an issue for my
computer
i mean how could it not
how could it not cause problems all
right in three
two
one
go
oh that is that is that is an alarming
amount of lag for a redstone contraption
oh my goodness
i mean there is a lot of piston action
going on here
we
oh my g can you imagine building this on
a server and just activating it
and just leaving it to do its thing
i wonder if this is causing i wonder if
this causes issues server-side or if
it's purely issues client-side but i
have a feeling for some reason that
lighting stuff is actually
a server-side problem i'm not sure i'm
not that technical but i do think it's
safe to say that we have hit a firm zero
frames a second zero frames a second has
been solidly smashed oh that looks like
something have independence day doesn't
it
it genuinely looks like we have an alien
invasion right now
awesome well this video has definitely
definitely satisfied my curiosity i am
also curious about other techniques that
i could use to completely destroy my
frame rate so let me know down in the
comment section anything that comes to
mind for you guys but anyway i really do
hope that you enjoyed and i'll catch you
in the next video see ya
wait did that just do like a warp
i think the frame rates just caught up
with us
this is just crashed into the unloaded
chunks and stopped
but it managed to move
oh no i'm confused it's also totally
broken the world
like look the world will not generate
past the end of this flying machine
hilarious now i know i'm a big child but
this might just be one of the most fun
recording experiences i've had i mean
just just imagine that i was tasked with
just creating as much lag as possible
like creating lag is kind of my forte
i'm known for it on the hermitcraft
server so to do this to get out of my
system
it was a blast as i say let me know if
there's any other lag making ideas you
have i can't wait to hear them
