Game Theory: Minecraft, STOP Punching Trees!

May 29, 2021
Hello Internet, welcome to

game

theory

, the program that has been around since before the release of Minecraft. If you traveled back in time to the first Game Theory episode, which coincidentally is about the time travel

game

Chrono Trigger, you'll notice that the upload date is April 18, 2011, more than half a year earlier than the 18th. November 2011, the release date of Minecrafts 1.0. Now, of course, previous development versions of classic Minecraft were released as far back as 2009, so you know the program isn't that old, but we're still here. Older than filth or at least the pixelated filth of 8-bit Minecraft anyway, the reason I'm nostalgic for the early days of game

theory

is because today we return to classic game theory, not in terms from poor audio quality and awkward Photoshop slideshows. of yesteryear in terms of subject matter compared to where it started, Game Theory has evolved a lot as a show and has become much more about solving the mysteries of gaming history, mainly because that's what you all told me you liked.

I like it more and lately on the channel. That's what we've been doing with the Minecraft series: unraveling the mysteries of Enderman, two missing disks, the origins of the Wither, and connecting it all to an ancient race of master builders. Even right now I'm working on a theory about visuals and villagers that I'm very excited about, but today I wanted to do a sort of throwback to that earlier period of game theory, one that simply begs the question: is that stupid, ridiculous video game? really possible in real life and that my friends in the context of Minecraft is knocking down a tree with your bare fists, it's literally the first thing almost all players do in Minecraft: they come into the world with nothing but the teal shirt on their back. back and two meaty sticks for arms and you swing them at the nearest tree and you hit that tree until it gives you wood, wood that will fill your empire unless, of course, the vine blows it through the clouds, but seriously , can a human really hit a tree? since my arms are as strong as a limp noodle, but I say I don't know a boxer, not like those boxers on YouTube, or they have air quotes, I mean real men and women who have been training professionally in this sport for years or you.

I know that if they can't do it, maybe Steve is just superhuman and if he is blessed with some level of superhuman

punching

strength, how strong is he? Make sure you stick around today, folks, you won't want to leave until you've seen the end of this one, the show's themes may have evolved, ladies and gentlemen, but the roots of bad puns never went away, as it turns out they already We have videos on the Internet that answer this question, like this video of a ten year old Russian girl fucking. a tree in pieces in Soviet Russia, we didn't take down two

trees

, we sank them, that was pretty good, the best accident I've probably done on the show for years, obviously, it's ethnic Assad because here he's not really giving us what we want .

We are asking about the tree we see in this video, it is obviously dead. Most importantly, it is not only dead, but has been subject to a form of dry wood rot that occurs when certain species of fungi begin to decompose and digest the parts of the tree that give the wood its strength and rigidity. , dry rot isn't something that affects still-living

trees

like the ones you liked to punch in Minecraft so much, so if we're really hoping to replicate what we see Steve do in the game, it's going to be a lot harder. with one hit, so how difficult would it be to damage a tree using a human blow?
game theory minecraft stop punching trees
Well, tough is the operative word here, the amount of damage a tree takes from a hit will depend on how hard it is and not all trees are created. Likewise, for example, balsa wood is much softer than a hard maple tree and will therefore be much easier to drill. Fortunately, in Minecraft we know the exact types of wood we're dealing with here, it's not just a world full of generic trees, but instead, we know that there are six different species of trees in the Minecraft universe: there's oak, birch, acacia, jungle birch and dark oak, and each in real life would have its own level of hardness if you've spent a lot of time on the wood. section of a hardware store believe it or not.
I know many of you have really thanked all the loyal theorists currently working at Home Depot. Seriously, that call may seem random, but I know more fans and Home Depot than almost anywhere else. more and there are a lot of things that I really like to do home repair projects and since our first floor flooded there has been a lot to do so thank you to all the loyal Home Depot theorists who have helped me with them anyway, they may have heard the terms. hardwood and softwood before all woods fall into one of those two categories.
At first, you might think these terms refer to the core of various woods. The obvious answer is obvious, but these terms actually refer to the seeds from which trees grow if the seeds. The parts of the tree have some type of covering when they fall from the tree, such as a fruit or a nut, then it is classified as hardwood, but if it is a species of tree that simply allows the seeds to fall naked without any covering, then It is considered soft wood. and while it is generally true that trees in the hardwood category tend to be harder than trees in the softwood category, this is not always the case, for example balsa wood here is one of the woods softest on the planet, so soft that even I can pierce. through it, on the other hand, the incense cedar here, which is most commonly used to make pencils, is classified as a softwood, but I mean, you can see it's a little bit harder and I'm going to go over it a little bit harder, oh, great, so good.
Softwood, on the other hand, yew is classified as a softwood, but let's say it is a little harder, so hardwoods will be soft and softwoods can be hard. It's confusing, obviously we'll need a more accurate way to measure hardness. of a wood if we want to have any hope of finding out how many strokes it takes for Steve to get to the center of that Tootsie Roll log, fortunately there is a test for that specifically for the purpose of testing the hardness of the wood, the Janka hardness. test created by Gabrielle Janko that measures the amount of force necessary to embed a small steel ball into a piece of wood of a specific cut size and moisture level because all of that matters when we talk about the topic of wood hardness, boat wood.
Softer wood requires only 70 pounds of force on the Janka hardness test; you can just push that thing with your own thumb, but an Australian species of ironwood is among the hardest woods with a whopping 5060 pounds of strength because in Australia even the trees are hard and yes, Ironwood trees are not just a fancy term that George RR Martin invented, it's a real family of plants, so the more you know in the Soviet Australian authorities, they're not wood, they're iron, so obviously we're talking about a Here's a pretty big range of seventy pounds of force to over five thousand pounds of force.
It's very important for us to determine what woods we're working with specifically, so all we have to do is take the six types of Minecraft trees and the aspect mentioned above. he in the Janka hardness test performed on the wood at the same time and we know that the hardness is simple and clean, not exactly, yes, Minecraft calls each of its six different types of trees species, but that's not really accurate Oak, for example, is not really a species, it is an entire genus that includes many different tree varieties, including white oak, red oak, Tasmanian oak, and English oak.
Same for firs, same for birches and acacias, so for each of those categories we'll use the design from each one. tree in Minecraft using especially the bark and branch designs we see and then choose the most accurate real-world equivalent for each of those categories. dark oak our fifth variety of Minecraft tree isn't real either but it looks pretty close to the black oak in real life so we'll use that and finally the jungle tree yeah that's obviously not real so I'll go with a tree commonly found in jungles that looks more or less like the jungle trees in our games that do all that. we get the following list the oak is really a live oak, a spruce since it is technically a white spruce, the birch will really be a great jungle tree from Asia it is largely focaccia, since the Amazon rosewood and the oak dark are really black.
Oh, feel free to add them to your Minecraft Wiki trivia sections. Guys, all the units you see present in the table are measured in pounds of force, with our jungle tree being the hardest at 2700 pounds of force and our white spruce being the softest at the very low 480, since It's hard to imagine what those numbers mean. I'll give you some context here: a study of boxers found that they can punch with an average force of 776 pounds of force and the strongest boxers think about 1300 pounds of force, which means that four of our six different types of trees are actually weaker than average. punch from a really strong boxer in other words it seems entirely possible that a human could also punch the birds out of these trees no, obviously not all punches are created equal right?
You're going to want to aim these blows carefully if you're hitting the tree directly, you'll end up condensing the fibers of the tree together and thus creating a denser, harder tree, so we don't just have to think about the strength of Steve's blows here. , but we also have to think about the boxing technique you're going to use, Steve, just weakly waving your arm towards a tree trunk won't literally cut it, but a hook or punch could easily knock down a nice chunk of wood. , allowing you to cut piece by piece. wood with its own prey, so knowing that it is now possible for a highly trained boxer to knock down a tree, the next question is how many hits it would take to recreate what we see Steve do in the game, it is well established that a block in Minecraft is a cubic meter, so let's take our acacia tree as an example.
The Janka hardness rating we found above represents how much force is needed to remove 750 1.5 cubic millimeters of wood from the tree. For example, a large-leaf acacia tree has a Janka hardness of 1,100 pounds of force, which means that a 1,100-pound fall will detach those 750 1.5 cubic millimeters of wood we just talked about to gradually cut a entire cube of one meter by one meter by one meter of 751 cubic millimeters at a time. It would take a huge drum roll please, 1 million three hundred and thirty thousand seven hundred hits, which is going to be a long, painful and downright boring game of Minecraft, over 1 million hits to get rid of a tree block, that's crazy , but it's also a little misleading, that number is only if you want to pulverize that whole one cubic meter block of wood to extract it, I don't know why you would want to do that, maybe you just want a bunch of really ineffective wood chips, say, You have a repressed rage that you really want to vent with a piece of wood, you won't question it.
I won't go near your fists, but if instead you just want to cut down the tree like a normal person not fueled by anger. then you will only have to cut a small layer of wood, a small strip in the center. By doing that calculation, you'll get a much more reasonable number of strokes, sixty-six thousand five hundred and thirty-five, and remember every one of those. The punches have to be full force, I mean, Steve is a fast puncher, but even at his rate of four full power punches per second, that's still four hours, 37 minutes and 14 seconds and non-

whaling. in the tree to do the hard work. of simply cutting a single thin block of wood, so let's look at it from the other angle.
Steve is able to knock down tree trunks in just three seconds, which is equivalent to about 16 hits of his meaty paws, meaning each of those hits must be full. Some serious power if we keep all our assumptions intact and watch sixteen hits is enough to completely pulverize an entire cubic meter of wood, which means that when Steve is hitting a spruce, the softest of all Minecraft trees, he is hitting with the astonishing amount of forty million. Pounds of Force That's Not Even Half Steve was able to karate chop every tree in Minecraft with the same number of hits per block, including the mighty oak tree, which would require a whopping 274 million pounds of force per hit to bring down the tree. tree withefficiency we see in Steve's game to put that into perspective is over two hundred and eleven thousand times stronger than the most powerful boxers in the world is ninety-eight times the thrust of a space shuttle solid rocket booster at liftoff these punches Not only are they powerful enough to pulverize a simpleton, they're enough to lift a rocket into space almost 100 times and Steve is exerting that kind of force with each of his punches, it's no wonder he's able to carry dozens of blocks of giant gold in their pockets. the guy is stronger than Superman, now that I think about it, that's a good question: Is Steve stronger than Superman or are Steve's pants pockets stronger than Superman?
Does he carry all that in his pants? Anyway, all of this should make one thing very clear if you want to cut. felling a tree use an ax seriously, you could wail on the tree with titanicly strong blows for a solid thirty minutes, instead you could pick up an ax and direct all your effort into a single point of contact, sure Steve could have the power to Titan in its fists and if you want to work smarter and not harder, you can wield that same level of power simply by choosing the right tool for the job, but hey, that's just a theory.
Oh game theory thanks for subscribing and ringing the bell because next week is our next Minecraft story theory and you don't want to miss that so ring the bell make sure you get notified so that way you don't Miss it and be one of the first people to know the deep, dark secret of Minecraft Villagers will talk more about it next week.
