They say that one of the most zen things you can do with a few hours of your life is digging in Minecraft. There's something supremely relaxing about the soft, repetitive sound of pickaxe-meeting-stone; combine it with an enchanted diamond pickaxe and a couple of beacons and you can mine out entire caves in mere minutes.
But what about... an entire world? Does that sound zen, or does that sound incomprehensibly pointless to you? Well, that's what YouTuber and streamer Minthical has been doing for the past four years... and he's almost done, apparently.
He's been slowly mining out a "Classic World", a legacy world type which was phased out a while ago, on the Legacy Console Edition of Minecraft on PS4. The Classic World is 862x862 blocks in size, which amounts to roughly 47 million blocks to mine.
What's more, Minthical is doing this in Survival mode. That means that his pickaxes have been breaking this entire time — although, with the amount of diamonds he has (over 12,000), it can't be a huge issue. In the four years he's been mining, he's used around 5,250 pickaxes.
I have to admit, I did roll my eyes at this at first - because, it could be done in seconds using commands . However, it is a major feat of perseverance - which, judging from his 'motivation' video, seems to be what truly matters to him. And besides, he's probably found a bunch of interesting stuff along the way (so it would really have been about the journey, rather than the destination )
He's expecting to be done by February 2022 - so, good luck to him in his final push to finish this off!
