I remember almost having a heart attack when Branzy asked if we could do this. So pumped we did. That routing system at the end was hype!

"How much ram you got?" "4... " "4 gigabytes?" "No... 4 bytes..."

It was weirdly emotional when the computer passed the "hello world" test lol

Mumbo: It's quiet simple really

I don't think I've been called a redstone daddy before. Congrats.

Branzy and rek can build the internet, meanwhile I still struggle to make a working 2x2 redstone door

"Some encouraging words" - the words "the neardiest *anvil* I've ever seen" 4:01

2500: We built a computer in minecraft. 3000: We built an ai in minecraft.

honestly we need more branzy and rekrap collabs

i love that everyone is giving their go at redstone lol. IT'S FUN ONCE YOU GET IT!!!!

Really neat to see basic networking in minecraft! I'm a sysadmin that's spent way too much time learning about routing and switching, it's really neat to see it broken down into binary logic. Quick suggestion: It may be worth trying to add some basic error-checking into the messages. One easy (albeit imperfect) way is to implement a parity bit. You'd need another line, but you could probably send it over the routing line. You could set a rule such as "all traffic must have an even number of bits sent over-the-wire", and then enable the parity bit when transmitting bytes with odd numbers of characters. That way, if the recipient ever gets an odd number, they know to order a retransmission. Realistically, it may be easier to have some sort of kill signal that can be sent to the sender, and then a loopback in the RAM that doesn't get cleared unless the message was sent with no issues.

I'm studying to become an engineer. I LOVE how you guys troubleshooted a system FULL of errors and eventually was able to make it work. Think of the ENIAC computer. That computer was big enough to fit in your house... and then some. This creation is like the ENIAC... BUT... it changed the course of history. Branzy, you discovered the "first" internet bug! YOU DID A THING!!!! I'm so PROUD of you Branzy and Rekrap. You guys both learned a LOT about how the internet works. Now, since you're limited to 26 endpoints, try expanding that to over 1000 endpoints. (similar to going from IPv4 to IPv6). Good luck!

Ha! What a hilarious idea! Well pulled off! Although Branzy you really need to be more careful with leaking people's IPs like you did with Reks!

im a computer engineering student in college rn and watching this was crazy because ur basically building everything im learning about in minecraft, this truly is the coolest thing ever

18:25 Funnily enough, this is one of the few things in the video i DID understand, rather clearly I was a little surprised when Branzy didn't but I guess i've had my head in game programming nonsense long enough for that to stick So because i want to explain it, i'll do so The information that the ram is getting, due to some specific way the redstone repeater works Not only holds onto the information for longer than it's supposed to, it ends up holding the information long enough for the system to interpret it as double Like let's say for example, you were at a grocery store, scanning a box of cereal And for some delirious reason you choose to hold the box over the scanner for a prolonged period of time, and the scanner, not knowing what to do, thinks that you scanned two boxes of cereal I know that's not how scanners probably work (probably) irl but, that should give you a clear example of what went wrong here Hopefully that was enlightening!

Since you've integrated routing into your system, now you need to add more terminals, and eventually get the system up to the point where you can rick roll each other. Then you will have reached peak internet.

This is crazy! definitely needs more quasi connectivity tho...

2055: We built a whole OS in Minecraft 2062: We built a whole linux distro in Minecraft

20:23 when he said kiss I started dying

One of the best videos i've seen this year making link between two of my teen time, Minecraft and Dev

As Technoblade once said. Stay in school kids it makes you better at minecraft

8:43 "wait, was this the 1 bit? Or the 5 bit." as funny and adorable that this, my soul hurts soo much.

This has been SO interesting. You're both geniuses. I love everything about this. The simplicity of the old technology transferred into something like MINECRAFT. It's mind-blowing.

This is actually so freaking awesome. I tried to follow along and understand this, but wow! 🤯 Too cool.

‘And flying grandmothers’ Had me rolling

The Hello world moment is beautiful. Reminds me of my first experience programming and the first time I sent "Hello, World!" through a raw socket.

For the displays, you could use a single decoder, which spits out 16 bits, which are then moved and stored in each letter/pixel of the display. If you wanted to be really lazy, you could just use a shift register. A naive implementation would start at the first character and shift all the characters right on every insertion, which would be slow (moving all the items every character insertion) and would require you input the text in reverse order (Hello -> olleH). A better solution would be to move the items from the last character backwards. The only problem being that on every insertion, the 16 bits must travel from the end to the first empty character. A clever workaround would be to operate on line by line basis. Which can mean either of these things: - allow only whole lines to be sent, with the current line stored in a buffer with ability to delete the last character - each line having an indicator, if the right most character is occupied, meaning you have to start inserting into the next line. the second workaround would also avoid the ugly circuit of looping from the first character of the line to the line above, while the second would bypass the issue altogether. In both cases, you would need to have a "move up" circuit, which would move each character exactly one line up, which shouldn't be hard to implement. With this, you could implement a screen which can store as much text as needed. The overflow (what comes out of the top line) could either be discarded or automatically sent.

Tbh the shared enthusiasm and passion behind this project as a collaboration is really admirable. I'm not too crazy about redstone, but I really hope I can be a part of something like that myself in the future

I like how Minecraft is slowly adding stuff that allows an internet to be made. You can even use stored sounds in sculk sensor rings to send WiFi signals around an area

“It’s jumbling it up into incomprehensible nonsense and we don’t know why” Your connection is encrypted

That was beautiful... the scenery were you see success after all that one month, imagine the person that did it irl. You will always see a beautiful success after hard work

19:09 thank you for reminding me one of my childhood movies

Imagine being a Minecraft UKpostsr making Minecraft videos of Minecraft on Minecraft. God I love Minecraft.

18:38 " I need you to say that to me again like i'm a golden retriever" best line, I felt that on so many levels XD

Wow! This is the coolest redstone build i've ever seen! I really like the IP address system aswell

That random nacho lebre clip was hilarious 😂

redstone daddy haha 💀😭

I can never wrap my head around builds like this. Branzy and Rekrap are amazing!

That is literally amazing! Fantabulous job! 😁👍

3:18 Freeze Frame, caught me of guard

“Rek I miss you” most wholesome thing branzy has said

This video could be called “I watched rekrap and sat there as emotional support as he built A COMPUTER”

This is like the next level of redstone lights and redstone stuff, Congrats

Just throwing this out there, redstone works in hexadecimal or base 16, that means one redstone dust stores up to 16 values, 0 - 15. That would have made this project a bit easier i feel but i could be wrong 🤷🏼‍♂️

Please make this a series. "Computational Redstone with Rekrap (and Branzy)"

now make wifi

I've been waiting so long to see this. I only have 1 request. Please make it possible to send messages wirelessly with the skulk sensor / sound recorder / lectern fancy thing (I feel like Mumbo Jumbo did something with sending signals with those). I honestly thought you were going to use those in this video, but ethernet is a good, and easier, place to start, especially when the screen and sender and receiver RAM-spaces are already so complicated. Also loved the routing you made. Very professional. Love you guys.

0:23 that is a creative and funny way to express the idea of communication here lol

As an aspiring network engineer who played thousands of hours of Minecraft as a kid, this was a fun watch!

Rekrap must be so a good friend to dedicate hours teaching you the Redstone for this. also, amazing work on all the Redstone the amount of time that took was insane.

16:23 : Watching you nearly complete this was like watching every computer science student doing introduction to computer science and writing something in C++.

4:35 "5 missed calls from BIG Games Preston"

Branzy and Rek’s bond is so genuine and kind it brings a smile to my face any day

This gives me deja vu to when the first clock was built in Minecraft. Crazy how far we've come! Keep up the good work.

You should change it so instead of physically sending the red stone signal to the other computer it sends it over wireless redstone machines since you’re already working in binary and not hex. Then it also means you can make multiple machines that can all send and receive to each other without needing to physically implement a redstone line between each

Just found your video. UKposts’s doing some work for ya lol. Honeslty videos freaking amazing your funny man! Hard to find videos like this. Keep it going!

"if a piston ain't pistoning, it's qausi connectivity" -rekrap2

flying grandmothers go hard

the part "CHECK AT THAT YOU CAN EVEN STEAL SOMEONES MESSAGE made me laugh😂😂😂

it looks Branzy as Steve Jobs making PR :D Rek as Steve Wozniak

I can’t get over Branzy’s wife saying, “This is the nerdiest **** I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” Great words of encouragement 😂

"So whats you favorite app to text with?" "It's... complicated"

This is the best video I’ve seen in a while and plz collaborate with rek more❤

branzy: "and... flying grandmas" 😂😂😂😂😂 got me on the ground 😂❤ (branzy and recrap make this look so ez ima try this)

Hearing Rekrap scream at redstone while Branzy watched was definitely the funniest part

7:54 Most relatable thing ever. Tbh Mattbatwings is REALY helpful to learning computational redston!

this reminds me of the time when I was able to send all the information through one Redstone Dust line to another system I then also built a programmable Storage on which games such as snake could be calculated I think I also have a world where I have a built-in 3D scanner and a 3D printer that places blocks layer by layer I miss the old days when I used to build systems in Minecraft almost every day. Now I mainly do it in real life with relays.

Wow, okay, here's the part that absolutely amazes me. In their quest to simplify the concept of "the Internet" enough that they could build it in Minecraft, these guys accidentally ended up reinventing/rediscovering something far older: the teletype machine (and telex). No really, the similarities are striking: like here, messages sent on a teletype machine would be prepared right before sending, then sent at a fixed rate using a 5-bit-per-character code (though teletype sent the bits serially, not 5-at-a-time like here). Teletype machines could be connected directly to each other through a fixed line, or connected to the telex network, which also used circuit-switching (where a physical connection would be set up for an exchange to happen before the connection is torn down) vs. the packet-switching of the Internet (routers do not set up a physical connection; they forward messages along individually, kinda like a post office sorting mail). The telex network even used automated switches that could set up a link by reading a routing code sent before the message, much like the one-letter "IP address" shown here. Bravo, Branzy and rekrap2. Just like the engineers of a century ago, you looked at the limitations of your technology and designed a telecoms system that did the job beautifully. Great minds really do think alike!

It's more of a bus than a network, but a network's architecture is all up to the designer In a true sense, it's an Interconnected Network (Inter-net)

“And Flying Grandmothers” got me laughing 😂😂😂

You did - as someone who had no idea what redstone is🤣- a great job! But i got a challange for you and rek: Try combining all ethernet lines to one -tip: encoder- and built a system that can detect what computer it shall send the msg when you have multiple in computers in one world/server.

This work is stunning and very complicated and comforting when it works in the end Definitely can be redesigned for being faster giving a use for the new calibrated sculk sensors which literally sends signals as a wifi, Making it 16 GB Ram and 64 bits haha😅

Branzy & Rekrap: We are going to make the internet in minecraft then upload it to the internet! Everyone watching it on the internet: YAY! now build it in survival mode!

18:40 I need you to say that to me again like a golden retriever. This is teaching.

I've been seeing immpresive things but this is AWSOME WORK!

I really need more of these 2 people working together

20:13 brandy: “ITS FINEEE” rek: “REALLYYY???????!!!!” Branzy: “no it broke…..” rek: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

15:43 naaaah bro said "kkk" 💀

This video actaully reminds me of how cool and complex modern technology are. We are not ony being able to send a bigillion more data, but also do it on insanley high speeds and almost all across the world! Goddam technology is amazing. As well as this video is. Great job!

You can just make a bit with 3 repeaters arranged in a triangle and the output is looped back into one of the inputs. You can break the connection between the output and one of the inputs with a piston to reset that bit.

I just image Branzy going on discord and just says “Hey Rek, get on Minecraft, let’s make the internet”

"And....flying grandmothers.." **WHEEZE**

this is insanely impressive good work:)

Not only did you built the internet in minecraft, you built your own internet. Web 5.0 is pleased

24:24 NOW THAT'S THE INTERNET!!

We have no idea why (16:21) Answer: Quazy connectivity

I think you should make a redstone lamp light up when you get a new message!

I didn't understand our internet lesson in technology at school but I understood it in 6 seconds on your video. Thank you.

I love how even Minecraft has its version of quantum physics in piston redstone.

"my brain hurts" Branzy 2024

As cool as it is: This is not an "Internet", it is not even a network, it's just two devices that can send characters to each other over multiple parallel wires. This would be considered an electrical telegraph which was in use since the 1840s. Sure, it has send/receive buffer and a fancier display than the old analog devices, but there's still a huge amount of technology missing to make it expandable to a whole network of devices!

It’s midnight and I was scrolling shorts and i saw a short about ghost hunting, and I now think a demon is in the room next to me.

branzy is like the underdog of minecraft content

You can make this even better by linking these computers up to Wireless Redstone Machines (there are tutorials on UKposts) so that you can not only transport signals without the massive redstone track, but can also link up multiple computers at the same time

I'd like to see a parallel-to-serial and back converters to have a closer simulation to ethernet, but this is already impressive!

The pure dedication to this is amazing

23:50 I can’t believe you would doxx rekrap like that

Einstein be taking notes

For the record Fulbber is freaking awesome!! Great film by Robin Williams (May he rest in peace) 100/10 would highly recommend it

Branzy: "There's only one thing we can do to save this project... KISS" Me: [pauses video] AYO, Branzy and Rek confirmed?!
