Minecraft Science: Mass of the Minecraft Earth

All I can say is wow. You sir have to much time on your hands lol. All games operate on rules (I haven't coded any but I have created some games using different programs.) One of the hardest rules to understand is the gravity rule. You explained it very well. Good job.

Thank you! I would have just looked inside of the code, but I wanted to emulate real world science. I.E. in real life, you can't look inside the code for the acceleration of gravity.

well, there are objects in minecraft that fall slower than that, like sand and dragon eggs.
nice piece of maths and physics.

I haven't confirmed that yet, but I will check soon. I can't do it today, though. And thank you.

I have 2 parties that helped me. Mojang and Issac Newton.
But really, this is awesome. And do items and gravel/sand/anvils fall the same? Also minecarts on slopes?
