How to Crash Minecraft

[steve09]

Ok so everyone that plays Minecraft knows that if you plant enough TNT then it will ultimately crash Minecraft. So I decided to test this theory. I used an online inventory editor before the 1.3 update, to give myself about 3 stacks of TNT and blew myself a nice big crater. Then I went crazy and filled said crater with TNT, I would say about 35 stacks, which would be about 2240. I gave Minecraft 12Gb of RAM to use since I have a total of 16Gb, and another 4Gb from a USB Memory Stick.
So here are some screenshots from before and after:

The crater I blasted out first

The crater filled with TNT with about 4 layers of stone on the top with a single column of TNT joining the surface to the rest of the TNT.

This shows how deep it is, not far away from bedrock.

The final part showing the crater from above.

I might think about filling in this crater with TNT, and seeing how much TNT I can explode and trying different layouts to try and explode as much TNT as I can without it lagging completely. If anyone has any good free screen capturing programs that won't leave a watermark on the final video then please let me know, as I know the free version of fraps leaves a watermark.

Minecraft is pretty.

Yes it is. Even prettier when you don't blow it up with TNT but everything is replaceable so it makes no difference.
