Minecraft Mod Experiments With Quantum Physics
Minecraft players can add the principles of quantum physics to their worlds with the mod qCraft. The mod, which is free to download at their site, explores the principles of observational dependency, superposition, and entanglement.
I would not have been able to tell you what any of those principles meant before I saw qCraft's demonstration.
The website says this is not a simulation of quantum physics, but instead allows us to see “how quantum behaviors are different from every day experience.” Check out the video above for a demonstration of these principles of quantum physics.
The mod was released in October. Daniel Ratcliffe (notice the “t”) programmed the mod. The mod received support from a variety of organizations, including Google.
Minecraft players have done some cool things with their mods already. I can’t wait to see (or not see?) what people will create with qCraft.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
