Is Minecraft Steve or the Terraria Player stronger? I have the answer.

copied over from another thread.




Well, let's see.

A block is 2ft^3. So, we can then compare the size of a coin to the size of a block.

Wow. Coins are pretty big.

If a block is 8 "pixels" (terrarian pixels are actually 2x2) across and is 2 feet wide, and a coin is 7 pixels across, then a coin is 1.75 feet wide. Coins are 8 pixels tall, so they are 2 feet tall. Those are some REALLY big coins.

For our purposes, we'll assume terrarian coins have the same length:thickness ratio as an American Quarter Dollar. This makes a terrarian coin 0.068435754189944 feet thick.

Doing some math to find the volume of the coin, and we find it has a volume of 0.153980446927374ft^3. This is 4360.2407cm^3.

Now, we use the density of copper, 8.933 grams per cubic centimeter, to find just how much a terrarian copper coin weighs.

It's 38950.0301731 grams. That's a pretty heavy coin.

Now, there are 1,000,000 copper coins in a platinum coin, which stack up to 999. The player has 59 inventory slots, including the main inventory (50), coins (4), ammo (4), and trash (1). Coins can fit into all of these. We'll add one more slot, putting it up to 60, since a player can have an item held by their cursor, as well as a full inventory.

So, let's do the math.

1,000,000 (number of copper coins in a platinum coin) x 999 (number of platinum coins per stack) x 60 (number of stacks of 999 platinum coins the player can hold) x 38950.0301731 (weight of a single terrarian copper coin) gives us the mass of all those coins to be...

2,334,664,808,575,614 grams! That's a lot of mass!

Unfortunately, that makes The Player significantly weaker than Steve, who can lift

*ahem*

Kilograms.

And that's just a single block. Multiply that by 64 (max stack size) and inventory size (27 slots + 9 hotbar slots + 4 inventory crafting slots + one cursor carry, so 41 slots total), and add the mass of a full set of golden armor (51,520 KG), and you get...

Conclusion? The Player needs to hit the gym if he wants to get even close to Steve's level.
But that's just a theory... A GAAAME THEORY! Thanks for reading!
 
I'd like to point out that all of this is invalid as neither games have a weight for items and thus the items in-universe don't actually weigh anything.
 
Ahem. I'm pretty sure Steve CAN craft a laser that shoots into space.

A completely harmless flood light made of things dropped from a boss isn't really breathtaking. On the other hand, Terrarians can place platinum and diamond together on an anvil and shoot destructive beams that actually hurt things

Items fall when thrown, and must therefore have weight. We're assuming since those materials exist in the real world, they weigh the same in the game.
 
So... Are you guys going to continue calling him Steve, or are you going to eventually start calling him Adam?

I'd like to point out that Minecraft has weighted pressure plates, which activate when enough items are dropped on them.

And we'd do that because...? I'm pretty sure his name is still Steve. This would make sense if the female skin variant was named Eve, but her name is Alex, so... not really sure where this is coming from.

Whoops, wrong name... I didn't know the Alex template was strictly for girls actually. ._.

Oh, Alex isn't. Nothing in Minecraft has a gender. It's just that Steve was a more masculine looking skin, so they made Alex as a more feminine looking skin.
 
In Minecraft, everything is mostly female.
Or the are all Hermaphrodites.

The devs said that everything is genderless, and has a random collection of memorable pieces from each gender of animal. Cows have both horns and utters, chickens have rooster neck things and lay eggs, etc.
 
Isn't one Minecraft heart 2 health? If so that means Steve has 20 health,while The Player has 500 health. Right?

Numerically yes. Iconically no.

It really depends on whether the assumption bases the comparison on the heart or the number. There's no real way of accurately figuring out what the real conversion is, as both games exist in two different universes.
