Next: tape. Tape is supposed to be used as permanent storage and memory layout pretermined, thus random access needs the tape to rewind to the spot, which can take minutes depending on how long the tape is.
We still have some high end tape drives around. Not really getting used any more, but still useful over a decade ago to transport big files that needed to be read/written fast. As in they go at 500 MB/s per tape (we have 12, so 6 GB/s or about the speed of a very fast SSD). And when I say tapes, I mean tapes. About the size of a small wheel.

What AntVenom meant about that they weren't designed for that is that DVD's aren't intended to read and write lots of data at the same time, but the Xbox 360 edition only loaded the game data, but never wrote to the disk, so it is still valid even on consoles
Games never write data to discs, in fact modern blu rays can't overwrite data, once its burned on its there to stay Minecraft on consoles then, stores world data on the games internal drive and loads all the game data off the disc onto the internal drive until you stop playing, then it deletes the game data from the drive but not your savedata

Commadore 64!! I challenge thee, get Minecraft to run on a Commadore 64 tape. (If you really want to go for gold you could also try getting Minecraft to run on a Magnavox Odyssey)
This is exactly what I was hoping when I threw this idea out there. What an absolute masterpiece. I'm honestly surprised with how well DVD RAM was able to run the game. The sound issues make total sense. It would be really funny to see someone try to speedrun off of it, and just how laggy things could get. Hearing the Ender Dragon death sound 15 minutes back into the overworld. The crazy thing is that we may see more issues like this in PC games soon. I run Fortnite on an ancient hard drive, and every map update will take a good 5-10 minutes to load the high res textures for me, despite having an RTX 3080. It's just the storage not being nearly fast enough to load all the assets in at once, so it has to do it piecemeal until everything is caught up. Fantastic video and experiment to see! Yet another certified AntVenom banger.
Not a big surprise Alpha Save didn't work as well, as it literally takes a lot more time to read and write to hundreds of small files, especially on disk storage. I wonder if performance would increase if you were to put grouped chunks of alpha save files into zip files for the computer to extract and read, then hold world data on the PC as temporary storage, then compress to disk again after closing the world. I know this would need a script to work, but it theoretically solves the big problem.
Now imagine a hypothetical setup involving ZFS and a bunch of other mumbojumbo to create a large RAID drive based on floppy disks, like a hundredth USB floppy cluster, and using that RAID drive to save your world to. 😁
You mean a tape drive, which uses magnetic tape like a VHS does? it probably be a similar result with a floppy disc, which also use magnetic storage but on a plastic disk.
There were systems for backing up data to VHS tapes. All tape based storage has the problem of not allowing random access to data. You would need constantly rewind and fast forward for a program to find all its stuff.
@@ads1035 Mostly for the fun of it. I do use Windows 10 as my main computer, but as a hobby, I make some DOS programs. I programmed a virus for it, but I'm obviously not going to run it.
The alpha save format probably saved my original MC world. I had it recovered by a specialist some months ago, and a very small number of the chunk files were unrecoverable (didn't affect any chunks I cared about). Had the world been using a later save format, which saves the world in region files (512x512 blocks) instead of chunk files (16x16 blocks), a much larger amount of the world could have been lost. That being said, oh boy does copying over a large Alpha world take an absolute age due to the sheer number of files involved (in my case, 39702 files).
What if Minecraft runs off RAM itself? It's possible to run an entire linux distro off RAM (with the toram boot parameter), maybe if Minecraft is copied to a ramfs partition and then launched from it... I wonder how would the game act when saving/loading chunks. Or if it'd even work at all. Something like: mkdir /media/$USER/ram sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=50% none /media/$USER/ram (this will create a ram disk with a size equivalent to 50% your ram) And then moving/installing minecraft onto the created ramdisk.
Yeah, it should work without any problems with RAM disk, as it asks like any normal drive, and it will be insanely fast, even faster than modern SSDs, unless you restart, ofc :)
Running bedrock on the better performing ones would be easier, but that defeats the point. On the worse ones it wouldn't have worked as java goes back to WAY older and lighter versions. For those running alpha Pocket Edition would prolly be easier. Again, i understand why you didn't do that.
Now try it on a C64 with a datasette recorder... I remember those. It was a pain in the *ss to get 'load error' after 15 minutes of waiting for loading a simple game like Boulderdash😅 Fun fact: In Boulderdash you also had to collect diamonds and dig underground. It was like Minecraft V-200.
I first began to learn how to program around 2004, and still remember taking my 3.5" floppy drive to the weekend-long introductory HTML course at the local library. Then, my dad decided to invest in my interest in technology, and bought me a 1gb USB drive which was just under $100. I felt like I was King of the World with that much storage space.

What if Minecraft runs off RAM itself? It's possible to run an entire linux distro off RAM (with the toram boot parameter), maybe if Minecraft is copied to a ramfs partition and then launched from it... I wonder how would the game act when saving/loading chunks. Or if it'd even work at all. Something like:
mkdir /media/$USER/ram sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=50% none /media/$USER/ram (this will create a ram disk with a size equivalent to 50% your ram)
And then moving/installing minecraft onto the created ramdisk.
Yeah, it should work without any problems with RAM disk, as it asks like any normal drive, and it will be insanely fast, even faster than modern SSDs, unless you restart, ofc :)

Hi
Hi
its weird
8:10 I love this menu so much...
Running bedrock on the better performing ones would be easier, but that defeats the point. On the worse ones it wouldn't have worked as java goes back to WAY older and lighter versions. For those running alpha Pocket Edition would prolly be easier. Again, i understand why you didn't do that.
Now try it on a C64 with a datasette recorder... I remember those. It was a pain in the *ss to get 'load error' after 15 minutes of waiting for loading a simple game like Boulderdash😅 Fun fact: In Boulderdash you also had to collect diamonds and dig underground. It was like Minecraft V-200.
Tape is still used as a storage format. Kind of meant for write once, read eventually archival almost like a DVD-RW.
I came here just because of Camman18's new short
With a friend we put a whole bootable linux system with Minecraft preinstalled, the whole thing runs on a RAM-FS so nothing saves
0:52 I had that exact same moment not four months ago in my Creative Writing class bc "Word Crimes" by Weird Al is nine years old XD
Yes. I love this. Floppy disk fr

"2015 was 9 years ago"

2024 ends in 3… 2… 1…

Me lol
Me
I first began to learn how to program around 2004, and still remember taking my 3.5" floppy drive to the weekend-long introductory HTML course at the local library. Then, my dad decided to invest in my interest in technology, and bought me a 1gb USB drive which was just under $100. I felt like I was King of the World with that much storage space.
I remember game bands lol now i feel old :(
But can you play Minecraft within Minecraft on a Floppy Disk…
But can you run Minecraft on a 1960s projector???
