Below is a list of random facts about the world of Minecraft. These facts vary from the gravity of the Minecraft world, to the mass of blocks.
- Minecraft has a gravity acceleration of 20 meters per second squared; for comparison, Earth has a gravity acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared, this means that the Minecraft world has more than double the gravity of Earth, to be specific, 2.04 times as much gravity.
- Water in Minecraft has surface tension, exhibited by splashing, however, a fall from 124 meters into a 3 meter deep pool of water will not hurt the denizens of Minecraft. In reality, a 30 meter fall into a 3 meter deep pool would not only break bones upon impact with the water, as the surface tension resists, it would also not decelerate a person fast enough to stop them from impacting the surface below.
- On the other hand, water in Minecraft will stop an explosion from damaging any blocks. Perhaps it is a Non-Newtonian fluid?
- Using the table below, it has been calculated that Minecraft denizens can hold at least 101,042,359 kilograms, including wearing armor. They can also hold 2,560 cubic meters of material.
- The table below lists the mass and weight, in Minecraft, of a cubic meter of materials. Likely, there are impurities, and thus, the materials do not weigh as much, or perhaps weigh more, however, this helps give us an idea of how heavy the amount of materials they're carrying is.
| Material | Mass (in kilograms) | Weight in Minecraft (in kg) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | 1,000 | 2,040.8 | |
| Gold Block | 19,320 | 39,428.6 | |
| Iron Block | 7,850 | 16,020.4 | |
| Diamond Block | 1,360 | 2,775.5 | |
| Stone | 2,691 | 5,489.6 | Presumably granite. |
| Dirt | 1,922.2 | 3,921.3 | Dirt can vary extremely, this is kind of vague. |
| Sand | 1,602 | 3,268.1 | Presumably white sand. |
| Glass | 2,579 | 5,261.2 | In reality a cubic meter of sand does not make a cubic meter of glass. |
| Wool | 1,314 | 2,680.6 | Compacted wool, little to no air. |
| TNT | 1,654 | 3,374.2 | The compound itself, not the casing. |
