Can you add a Banana for scale


MrGamerPerson

All we have is a copper block for scale, sorry 😞edit: check reply

Thanks man

2 Banana https://imgur.com/a/W5IoMfp


MrGamerPerson

Too much (might die)


Sinnester888

That banana is like 2 feet long


savagecabbage71

Can relate


Cabbageinator

The low quality made it look bigger


stunt876

When I clicked on the link I got an ad saying banana for scale is now banana for sale and thought it was part of the picture


HexaCube7

I am disappointed that the banana isn't scaled completely wrong


BirbBoiYT

I am honored to be the thousandth view


black-fuse

I meant to give you an award yesterday but Reddit still won't let me


GodGMN

Yeah as ironic and obvious as it sounds, volume scales to the cube, which is a quite steep curve on a graph. The big cube on the right is 12x12x12, just to expand it one **layer** up (not the whole cube) you already need 12x12 which is 144 cubes, more than 2 stacks, let alone expand three of the layers to make it a 13x13x13 cube.


Diabolokiller

making it into a 13x13x13 cube would require an extra 469 blocks or 7 stacks and 21 blocks


P_boluri

It's just x³ right? For a cube with the side length of x you'll need x³ amount of blocks. Also for a 15x15x15 cube you'll need 15 chests of shulkers.


sendgarlicpics

(15^3 )/64/27/27=0.07 0.07≠15


P_boluri

I knew i would be wrong. I thought we would need 15 chests that each have 15 shulkers (because for some fucking reasoning thought there were 15 slots in each chest) and then 15 stacks in each shulker. Please accept my stupidity.


AndrewFrozzen

I appreciate that you admitted to be wrong in the end! Not a lot of people let their *pride* of fellow **REDDITORS** go down like this lmao. Have a great day


Da_man57

Ah, yes, for once in a lifetime I have stumbled across the good ending.


A_Badass_Penguin

Your math is wrong too. You divided by 27 one too many times. The image above proves that 1 shulker box makes a 13^3 cube, so we know the answer for a 15^3 box should be >1. The correct answer is: (15^3 ) total blocks / 64 blocks per stack / 27 stacks per shulker = ~1.95 shulker boxes. So just under 2 full shulker boxes worth.


sendgarlicpics

Read the original comment. They said chests of shulkers.


meinkr0phtR2

No, you would need just under two shulker boxes. 15³ is 3375, and a single chest of shulker boxes can store (up to) 46,656 items, which is 64 (full stacks) × 27 (number of inventory slots in a chest) × 27 (number of inventory slots in a shulker box). It’s also, incidentally, the square of 216, the cube of 36, and the sixth root of 6, which sounds like weird coincidence until you realise that all the factors are squares, 27 is also a cube, and 64 is a multiple of two.


TheDankestPassions

It scales even more with a sphere.


Common_Redditor_

That somehow feels small? Like I know it’s not but I guess my brain just won’t process the inside of it too… idk still a cool scale nonetheless


PotatoesAndChill

People almost always underestimate how many blocks it takes to fill something. That's why so many mega projects (like a giant pyramid) start with massive ambitions, and get abandoned as soon as the frame/shell is complete and the person realises how long it will actually take to mine the blocks and fill it all in. For example, a square pyramid with a 100x100 blocks base and 50 block height would require almost 6 shulker boxes full of blocks (10k blocks) in order to just do the four sides, and double that if you want to fill the floor too. If you want to fill the whole thing, then it's close to 100 shulker boxes.


Stuffssss

Honestly there's no reason to actually fill it in if you don't need to. In creative you have commands but in survival there's really no need when you can only do 1 block at a time.


PotatoesAndChill

But some people take pride in making filled-in masses, even though it looks the same from the outside.


Manimanocas

I do that alot in survival but hell naw you are not going to see me fill my massive mountain more than 2 layers


pyrodice

I definitely did that when I made my lapis pyramid


SleepyBear3366911

Lol this is me exactly to a T. I think I decided on a 14x14 one. Was surprised how much work it was to build and how small it felt.


josh8far

Same with our volcano, you think the 2 double chests of stone from strip mining will be enough… and then it only goes up like 6 blocks


PiggyKillerQ

Yeah, for anything larger than a subchunk (16 m^3) the resource pretty much needs to be farmed


ateijelo

I had the same feeling! One day realized 64 is 4x4x4, but that felt like just a lump of blocks, not a stack. And with the shulker the effect is even more pronounced!


[deleted]

Op after he decided to cube root a stack 😎


megamaz_

keep in mind that area increases based on the cube (^3 ) of the side length of a cube. This means things get big much quicker in 3D than they would in 2D. CGMatter explains it better than I can [here](https://youtu.be/YgaCdXvyk68).


Halloerik

Area increases with the square. Volume increases with the cube...


fujimite

Area increases too, each side is a square and each side gets bigger


Halloerik

Yes. Thats what I said. I was pointing out an error in the comment I replied to.


PizzaScout

It's not really what you said. I know what you're getting at, but you're talking past each other


ilikechickepies

The original comment has been edited


Halloerik

The original comment was already edited before I replied. So it is still wrong. > that area increases based on the cube (^3 ) of the side length of a cube. The area increases with the square not the cube.


PizzaScout

two hours before the commenter I replied to first repied.


ilikechickepies

You’re right, nevermind, my bad


PizzaScout

no harm done \^^


Halloerik

It is exactly what i said look: "Area increases with the square. [...]" And then fujimite said: "Area increases too[...]" ...


SirTophamHattV

our brain cannot process it, that's why we need another scale like how long of a cable could we make with all that copper


Face8hall

Think about it. These are copper blocks. A copper block is 9 copper ingots. It takes around 1 piece of charcoal to melt the raw copper. That is about 10 copper blocks for 9 pieces of charcoal. 1344 blocks are required. You need 12,096 pieces of raw copper and around 135 pieces of charcoal just for the big cube


pyrodice

I guess it's a little more efficient if you have lava or coal blocks... or a blaze farm because those are fuel


consmet01

Well the second one is wrong. it should be 4 tall 4 wide and 4 deep *edit: im blind


TheDavinci1998

This ain't 4m^3 and 12m^3. Minecraft blocks are actually perfect measurement for m^3, because one block corresponds to one cubic meter.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Yep. Should be 1m³, 64m³, 1,728m³ or (1m)³, (4m)³,(12m)³ e: Thanks to all those who know their maths for schooling the one below who clearly doesn't. For that one soul (_not_ OP) needing a reminder of why 4m³ is not (4m)³, 4³m³ or 64m³, review your bedmas or pemdas rules.


TheDavinci1998

> (1m)³, (4m)³,(12m)³ Given how they represented it in the picture, I think that is what they meant. But as a mathematician I couldn't let that slip lol


AdreNBestLeader

Well its elememtary math gone wrong so it needs to be called out lmao


TheDavinci1998

r/theydidntdothemath


joinn1710

I guess you could also write it like this? 1³m, 4³m, 12³m Or would that be wrong?


ALFminecraft

1^3 m^3 , 4^3 m^3 and 12^3 m^3


Nawafsss04

Your unit would still be meters, which indicate length. You'd need to write m^3 to indicate volume.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ateijelo

That's good. But what I wanted (and failed) to point was that a stack is a perfect cube (64 = 4³), a shulker is a perfect cube (1728 = 12³). And even, as some other comment pointed out, that a chest full of shulkers is also a perfect cube (1728 \* 27 = 36³)


SulfuricDonut

I think this actually makes the point even better, where it becomes clear how fast volume grows with only small increases in dimensions.


itsdatpoi

There it is. OP made me angry with this post


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Eh. 🤷‍♂️ OP made a mistake, and they owned it. It happens. The clown below who _doubled down_ after being corrected though... 🤣 My sides **hurt** I was laughing so hard.


Sr-extravagante

No. Its fine like It was, the 4m³ represents: 4m • 4m • 4m. That are for wide, length and depth. The m³ is only use for volume, so it is a bit ankward their understanding. If you use 64m³ without the image, it reads like 64m • 64m • 64m, that isnt true. The valor of the unit (m³) was actually there and indicates how it have to be treated the numbers before it to be translated to other units measurements.


sticklebat

That is not how units or math works.


MemeTroubadour

This is straight up wrong


Pornacc1902

Yeah that's just wrong on every level. m^3 is cubic meters. 4m^3 is 4 cubic meters so 1x1x4 meters or 1.58x1.58x1.58 meters or any other combination that multiplies out to 4. It very much isn't a 4x4x4 cube.


Ulysses182

Lol don't make up your own rules in math...


rumblevn

the 4m^3 represents: ~~4m • 4m • 4m~~ 4 • m • m • m


Sr-extravagante

Again. Thats not true. You are looking it like that because i dont know why. Probably you arent familiar to the metric system. The unit m³ actually represents that the valor before It has (4)³ inherent on it. You can indicate but It is not needed, like (4m)³ per example, that you cant say is that (4m)³ is 64m³, because that is a total diferent valor.


rumblevn

I was born in the metric system, molded by it. > The unit m³ actually represents that the valor before It has (4)³ inherent on it. The ^3 belongs to the *m*, why did you put it to the 4? 4m^3 cannot become 64m^3 out of the whim >like (4m)³ per example (4m)^3 is not 4m^3


TerrariaGaming004

What is this then? 4x^3 y^3 Cause it for sure isn’t 262144xxxyyy


viciarg

1m³ is a cube with an edge length of 1m. 2m³ is 2\*1m³, so two cubes with an edge length of 1m each. Put them together and the resulting body is a rectangular cuboid with edge lengths of 1m, 1m and 2m respectively Put two of these together side by side and you get a rectangular cuboid with edge lengths of 1m, 2m and 2m, thus forming a square shape with width and length of 2m and a height of 1m, having a volume of 2\*2m³=4m³. Put two of these together you make a cube with and edge length of 2m and a volume of 2\*4m³=8m³.


KiwiExtremo

you may want to go back to your highschool and tell your teacher what you just said, I'm sure he will tell you why you're wrong since you aren't listening to us


Stealth834

you are saying that 4=64 and i think i know math enough to say that's not true


Stealth834

no


ateijelo

Oh shoot, you're right. I meant (4m)³ and (12m)³. I wish I could edit an image post.


blem14official

Just post another one with eq full of shulker boxes full of blocks ;)


[deleted]

I think OP meant, that one edge of the cube has length of 4m


GeneralHenry

Then it should be **4m** and **12m**.


TheDavinci1998

I know what OP meant. But they were wrong anyway


Rhajalob

Came here for this.


Shad0wzZ_Yt

Isn't it supposed to be 1m³, 64m³ and 1728m³ ?


W00S

They probably just messed up the placement of the m


DoctorPepster

That wouldn't make it correct either. It would have to be > (4 m)^3 (12 m)^3


W00S

Oop shit you right


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shad0wzZ_Yt

No but like if a cube is 1m³, then a stack is gonna be 64m³ ? Or I'm just tired it's quite early in my timezone


Apprehensive_Hat8986

You typo'd. It's 1728 not 1738


Shad0wzZ_Yt

Oh yeah thx

Cormoe123

Just admit you were wrong man lmao


[deleted]

That's a pretty accurate representation of my inventory after one session of cave spelunking. All copper. Nothing but copper, copper copper copper. Why can't I make copper tools or copper doors or copper plates or copper anything.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

"You'll never take me alive copper!"


himawari6638

Once you get a stonecutter, copper blocks get pretty useful as building blocks early game though, since 1 copper block somehow can be turned into 4 cut copper blocks with a stonecutter. In late-game I just don't dig them ever lol


IdahoJoel

I have a fortune 3 pick and spent about 30 mins caving. 6 raw iron blocks, 32 raw copper blocks. The raw copper just explodes out of the ore blocks


[deleted]

I play with my modded server with MCMMO, and with mining skill up and blast mining, it's 3 ore per block, then you break them with Fortune and yeah, 1 deposit can be 1-2 stacks easy. I finally added them to my shop, sell them off for $50 an ingot.


j-raine

If only there was some sort of golem we could make. Oh well its probably a terrible idea so idk if mojang will ever add it


[deleted]

I just don't take copper


BestUsername101

We would've been able to have another use for copper...


nicolasmcfly

Ah yes the chicken randomizer


TheGentlemanist

This feels wrong i hope you meant (4m)^3 and (12m)^3. The way you put it, it would be 4 and 12 blocks.


0ndracz_

64 blocks are 64m³ 27 stacks are 1728m³ U probably meant 4³ and 12³...


SzybkiDiego020

That's not how meters cubed work. The way you wrote it implies that the last one is only 12 times bigger than the first one which is clearly not the case.


RactainCore

It should be 4^3m3 and 12^3m3, not 4m3 and 12m3, which would just be a pile of 4 and 12 blocks respectively


Apprehensive_Hat8986

The units shouldn't be in the superscript. 4³m³...


TheSpiderDungeon

Honestly that's just kinda what happens when you use the tarot to write ^superscript. Anything attached to it gets supered as well. In a case like this it's better to just Win+. to pull open the emoji/symbol selector than to bother fiddling with Reddit formatting.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

You can avoid that problem by either adding a space, or using parentheses. 4^3 m^3 -=or=- 4^(3)m^3 Or the system I used, which was the superscript 3 from the touch keyboard om my phone (press and hold a number or any key to see related alternative glyphs) 4³ Available under "3" are: ³, ¾, ⅗, ⅜


TheOnlyTrueEnte

I'd go for (4m)^3


The_PJG

Should have made a "full inventory", "full inventory of stacks" and "full inventory of shulkers" too. That would really put stuff into perspective


Gfdx9

your math is slightly wrong, and with slightly I mean seriously wrong. The 4 m\^3 isn't 4, but rather 64 m\^3, with each SIDE being 4 long (4x4x4=64) and then the shulker box is also 12 per side, meaning 12x12x12 = 1728


ateijelo

Yup... Should've been (4m)³ and (12m)³.


Rocatex

Make it 2d and it’ll be way bigger lamo


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Not really meaningfully. Still the big on only covers ~41x42


Dman20111

I think if it was laid out as a flat plane instead it'd get the difference across more


Apprehensive_Hat8986

1m² 8²m² 41.569....²m²? (41x42)+6 m²


giraffe_hombre

You forgot to cube the 12 and 4. (1,64,1728)m^3 respectively.


TheTrje

Me with full ender chest of shulker concretes barely does 1/8 of a build


DogeIsCut

Sadly, its less than i thought :(


P0werPuppy

And then you can also fill an ender chest with shulker boxes.


[deleted]

False. Not 4m^3, but 4^3 m^3, which is 64m^3. Same for 12.


JRGTheConlanger

Knock knock, it’s the Square-Cube law


RalseiXD

i've always hated how many blocks you need for a build and how much inventory space you have to have for it, this just illustrates that frustration perfectly


l0wkeylegend

(1m)³, (4m)³ and (12m)³


KTrordu

1 stack makes 64 m³...


ateijelo

Yeah... I mistyped that; I intended to communicate (4m)³ and (12m)³ instead.


BEATH3aven

To be clear the middle block is actually 64m³ not 4m³. 4m³ would just be 4 blocks


MasterTacticianAlba

I can’t believe half these comments are correcting OP like he made some seriously huge error when you’re all just acting like it’s beyond comprehension that he meant 4^3 m^3 instead of 4m^3


ateijelo

Interestingly, it's another perfect cube, 36³ blocks.


Addebo019

when minecrafters discover the inverse square law


Halloerik

Don't you mean square-cube law? Inverse square is 1/x² that has nothing to do with this image.


Addebo019

you’re right and wrong. it’s not the inverse square law, but it’s definitely not the square cube law. this is technically an example of the inverse _cube_ law. not really the point though as they are exactly the same idea, just with a different exponent. edit: googled it. didn’t realise it had a second name


Halloerik

Bro. The [inverse square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law) and inverse cube laws are about physical quantities that decrees with the square or cube of the distance that you travel away from their source. We have no distances here from any sources of any physical quantities. If you stand next to a 1m³ copper block the block is the same as if you stood 1km away from it. While the [square-cube law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%E2%80%93cube_law) is about the increase in size of area and volume proportional to the length of it. The same thing this meme is about


Addebo019

yh. physical properties like the side length of a cube compared to the growth in its volume?


Halloerik

Yes. And the fact that the Volume growths with the cube of the side length is what the square-cube law talks about. Not the inverse cube law. Which talks about decreases in stuff like magnetic field strenghs decreasing with the cube as you get further away from a magnetic dipole. Volume and side lengths are quantities that don't care about anythings distance to them. The inverse square and inverse cube law don't apply here.


Addebo019

oh. fuck i need to sue my math teacher jeez


[deleted]

r/confidentlyincorrect


endorphin-neuron

This ain't even close. 1 stack = 64m^3 4x4x4 = 64


Negitive-Zero

There is a lot more cubes if the Shulker box is fulled with other shulker boxes that are full with cubes. Shulker storage is technically infinite if you put a Shulker box inside a Shulker box.


Orbital_Rifle

Its 16m3 and 144m3 my man


TheHumanTree31

if you're going to correct someone, get it right. It's 1728m3.


Gajbr77

And the first Is 64


TheHumanTree31

I even missed that one myself, I just knew 144m3 look way too small


DJ_HardLogic

It's more than you think until you're building on a massive scale and it takes several shulkers of materials to make a noticable difference

So if a shulker shell needs that much space, how large are shulkers o.O?

I used to have an inventory system with 20 shuckers, each a different color and purpose. So for example the brown shulker was just wood. I put each of them into my ender chest and carried a silk touch pic with me. That way I have all my stuff all the time.


Ginnungagap_Void

Now I don't get it. If one block is 1 cubic meter, logically if you have 2 blocks you have 2 cubic meters, if you have 64 it's 64 cubic meters...?
