Diamond Menger Sponge

[wowfreak327]

Yo dawg I heard you like cubes, So i put a cube inside a cube inside a cube.

[FawkezStrike]

Why are there so many dislikes? o_o

[mikenancy1]

Minecraft Structure Planer Used?

[TaviRider]

@mikenancy1 Nope, done entirely by hand (with the benefit of the /give command to get the diamond blocks, and a way to teleport around). The Menger Sponge pattern isn't that difficult to follow.

Its RUBIX CUBES!

[wpbeta2]

so please explain to me what this 3D fractal (is that what you said) is im not being sarcastic i realy want to know im interested

[willwest101]

@wpbeta2 Basically, if you zoom in on part of it, that part resembles the whole.

Check out wikipedia for a more in depth explanation.

[tictac111100]

now make this legit by finding diamonds

[Jafachasama]

THIS IS SO WEIRD! I WAS TAKING A BREAK FROM MC BEFORE I SAW THIS VIDEO. GUESS WHAT I WAS MAKING.

[LordZazan]

How is this a Sponge???

[TaviRider]

@LordZazan I didn't name it; it's just the name for this kind of 3D fractal. I think the idea is that there's spaces an d hollow parts all the way through it, like a sponge.

[23icefire]

mandelbrot would be proud.

[snuffy110]

@Penis nice name.......? :|

[livedandletdie]

why only the 3rd iteration and not the forth.

[TaviRider]

@livedandletdie Not enough time to do the next level. This was a one-day event.

[RadicalSoundWaves]

I...

I love you.

[Voidjanrulerserus]

@RadicalSoundWaves

Radical! we fend minecraftians away from our builds not invite them over!

[RadicalSoundWaves]

@Voidjanrulerserus

That's from something but I can't remember what.

[Voidjanrulerserus]

@RadicalSoundWaves

Invader zim.

[SkedgySky]

17 people don't understand.

[Invisodude]

swiss diamond

[CineBoxStudio]

why not make it out of sponge?

[TheMamaboy99]

EVERYONE CALM DOWN ITS A SQUARE WITH HOLES IN IT!!!!

[TaviRider]

@TheMamaboy99 *AHEM* It's not a square, it's a cube.

With holes in it.

[Pr0Pipe]

@TaviRider AN EDGELESS COMPANION CUBE <3

[IPWNFORCHEESE]

@TaviRider Yes a square is 2D

[MrSquid21]

@TaviRider it WOULD be a cube if all it's faces didn't have holes in them. this is obviously a very odd 3-D shape with a HUGE amount of faces.

[sporecreatorperson]

I'd say that's about... 1 million diamond picks.

[tanbot821]

win?

[MrSuperOrgasmic]

on Citycraft we made a level 4 :D

[RufftaMan]

@MrSuperOrgasmic haha,, i just checked youtube to look if someone was that crazy.. i'm currently building a level 4 myself and after about 20'000 blocks i'm starting to think it's crazy.. =)

140'000 blocks to go.. lol

[MrSuperOrgasmic]

@RufftaMan

yeah but we did it the lazy way lol just made a level 3 then copied and pasted it several times to make a level 4 haha

[RufftaMan]

@MrSuperOrgasmic haha.. ok, that's easy =)

not only am i building it completely by hand, but i'm building it in red an orange wool. altho i do cheat the wool, i still have to color it by crafting dye..

fortunately some guys are helping me out making the wool ^^

[Dongonzales123]

Bad cheeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaattees

[waterwhackerfilms]

nice, but will it blend? :3

[EpicFunkey]

I'm sure N from Pokemon would love this

[CameronIsGodless]

I don't get what this is? someone explain?

[TaviRider]

@CameronIsGodless It's a 3D fractal. It's formed by splitting a cube into 27 smaller cubes, then removing the 7 cubes in the center of each slice, leaving you with 20 cubes. Then you repeat the process on each of those 20 cubes. You repeat the process as many times as you can. In this case I followed that process 3 times.

[tipenux]

@TaviRider what?

[TaviRider]

@tipenux Try searching for Menger sponge on Wikipedia. They have a good image demonstrating the idea.

[TaviRider]

@ty4155 I made a mistake? Where??

[icyfreeze209CP]

@TaviRider you didnt make a mistake. i dont know what hes talking about

[Delta6202]

oh. here comes a creeper...

[txg4m3r]

what is the ip for your map i really want to play in ur town

[TaviRider]

@txg4m3r Sorry, that world is long gone. It was only up for a day because of the charity event. But the server is still up and doing amazing things: c.nerd.nu

[zachj61]

OMG!! I did the exact same thing in single player!! even before i saw this. its edges are covered in torches and is a mojor lag. its in my imperial avenger world ("Zirum's Hero"'s Cannons)

[The3picNerd]

You should make a Koch Curve or even a Mandelbrot Set.

[TechGrenade]

...If you actually made this i'm impressed, my advice, become famous posting your amazing creations. You could ya know, with build skills and the ability not to get bored for hours on end.

[TaviRider]

@TechGrenade I actually made it, yes. I didn't have help placing the diamond, but some volunteers helped excavate beneath it so people who fell through it could get out.

So I'll go get internet famous... then what? :)

[tomnpeople]

@TaviRider you get milk and cookies =D

[mozziedoo]

Diamond= WIN!

[NewTaco522]

Mmn so much diamond

[ROBLOXuser5013861]

So that's why diamonds are so rare!

[IPWNFORCHEESE]

@ROBLOXuser5013861 Yeah! TaviRider is just stealing all the diamonds so he can build a cube!

[lizardizzle]

awesome! I always liked fractals. Especially the 3d ones.
