itrytobei've been watching a lot of Ilmango's SciCraft videos lately, and SciCraft endlessly amazes me. the scale of their projects, the complexity of their machines, the fact that they manage to do not just engineering but also fundamental research in Minecraft... it's all so cool. i think they're the best demonstration of emergent features in Minecraft that i've seen.
today i'm particularly impressed with their almost obsessive lag optimisation efforts. i think it's really cool that such a skilled technical community designs devices with survival multiplayer in mind, rather than just sticking to creative test worlds. they really spend a lot of effort on making things work on a server with other people online, and to make the machines cause as little server strain as possible.
and all this is coming from a decidedly non-technical player. i hardly ever even build machines designed by others, much less develop my own. i don't really have any interest in being a technical player myself, i just like to admire it from the outside.
