(my numbers AND my English aren't perfect ok?)

This is my first blog in Planet Minecraft, i'm writing this article about the gravity in the Minecraft planet.

Remember the scientific method, i first questioned myself, how much gravity does the Minecraft planet have? So i started building a "laboratory", for the testing of velocity, i tested with items, then players.

I built a redstone clock with a margin of error of 0.19 sec, then connected it with some switchable connections to tripwire hooks.

In my experiments, the item started with ~7.1428 m/s and ended with 62.5 m/s in 4.6 sec, so i used the acceleration formula:


a = Δv/Δt = 62.5-~7.1428/4.6 = ~12.0341 m/s²


That is about 120% the Earth's gravity, but hey, this is the test with items, there is another, so i tested with players. In the player test, the player started with 10 m/s and ended with ~83.33 m/s in a period of 3.2 s, formula again:


a = Δv/Δt = ~83.33-10/3.2 = ~22.9156 m/s²


And that is impressively about 215% of the Earth's gravitational pull.

After this research i concluded that, that numbers about the Minecraft planet be big, make some gravitational sense, and that the player is A LOT more aerodynamic than the items.

(i corrected some timings in the day after i posted post)
