Minecraft simulation completes game in billions of years
A simulation by YouTuber RedLogic has determined that Minecraft could theoretically complete itself by defeating the Ender Dragon without player intervention. Retro Gamer first reported on September 21 that the experiment used a Monte Carlo simulation to model the complex chain of mob behaviors required for this to occur. PC Gamer added that the simulation used a specific seed and compressed billions of in-game ticks, involving Endermen, snow golems, and creepers to eventually defeat the dragon.
Retro Gamer stated the process took approximately 2 billion years, while PC Gamer reported a more precise figure of approximately 1.975 billion years.

Minecraft beat Minecraft after 2 billion years
A Minecraft YouTuber named RedLogic demonstrated how the game can theoretically defeat itself by completing the Ender Dragon fight. Using a specific seed and a simulation compressing billions of in-game ticks, the process took approximately 1.975 billion years to achieve, involving Endermen, snow golems, and creepers to eventually defeat the dragon.
