CLARIFICATIONS:
I think some sections of this video need additional notes/ thoughts because there are a few mistakes/ misunderstandings

I know that the third method would also require a ton of computing resources and decided to omit that from the script as a time saving measure the third method wasn't supposed to be taken as seriously as the first and second method.

On a section of this video where I talk about the iron and sticks needed I accidentally swapped the numbers in the editing process.

I know on the third method that a world cant be "entirely" destroyed because of water and lava again, more of a thought experiment.

This video is a sort of thought experiment built around the premise of "How could you" and "How long would it take" to completely mine out/ destroy a Minecraft world. It covers three ways that the player could mine out every last block of their world such as manually mining it: just getting a ton of pickaxes and mining it out over the course of a few billion years... The second method involves using automation to mine out your Minecraft world building TNT machines or quarry miners to literally blow up the Minecraft world, we could even use some sort of AI bot to automate the process for us. The final method is to literally wait until the world gets destroyed on its own through natural Minecraft processes like creepers exploding.

The video is a long video essay/ documentary with a dark theme and tone there is a sort of bittersweet ending at the end.

I tried to silently encapsulate the loneliness of Minecraft in the video whilst not stating it directly. The feeling you get is more hopelessness and sadness rather than loneliness.

I tried to make this video my best one yet, combining the good scriptwriting from my previous video and the editing from an older video of mine... I very happy about how this turned out and hope y'all enjoy it!
