One of the most common phenomena found in computer games is the supernatural ability of the player. Seriously - practically EVERY single game out there has it, as long as it involves action or combat. And so, below are a few incredible abilities the player possesses in the game that are considered superhuman in real life.

1) Super-strength

An astounding fact about the player's inventory is that the player's full 37 inventory slots can hold up to 4,096 items without overfilling. Holding 4,096 feathers at a time is probably not THAT much of a tough feat in reality, but 4,096 solid one-meter-cubes of diamond - that's downright INSANE. As a single diamond block would weigh something like 3,500 kg - which is equal to the weigh of a small car - 4,096 blocks would weigh something like 14.3 million kg(15,564 TONS). Even the Hulk would be impressed.

2) Superhuman resistance

Another amazing thing about the player is his paranormally tough resistance. For starters, the player can withstand falls of up to 3 meters without taking damage (which is already pretty crazy) and, most astounding of all, survive a fall of up to 19 meters - in other words, living to tell the tale after jumping off a ten-story-building. The player also has a jaw-dropping resistance to heat as well - without armor, the player can survive to up to 19 second aflame, and can survive up to 13 seconds submerged in blazingly hot magma when donning armor.

3) Super-speed

Most people probably don't know about this one, but when flying at full speed in creative mode the player can fly at speeds of up to 39 km/h - about the speed of a car traveling down a road. Even though that doesn't really count as a superpower (I mean, it's CREATIVE MODE) I still kinda wanted to point that out.

Have an opinion about the player's incredible abilities? Leave it in the comments section below! Liked this post? If so, leave a diamond and also consider subscribing for more material. Thanks for reading!

4,096 diamond blocks may be impressive, but whats even more impressive is carrying 4,096 super golden apples! Each one takes eight gold blocks to craft, meaning you are carrying the equivalent of 32,768 gold blocks!

Those kind of analyzing posts are definetely curious, but most of the time I think following thought about those kind of posts/videos (including game theory videos): "Man, you're over analyzing it! Steve is just a ~8kb of memory in RAM which persisted to the disk every 30 seconds, and consists out of 72 (6 * 6 * 2) triangles!"

P.S.: 8kb is a made up number which might pretty close to the actual amount of memory used to store Steve

Carry weight is pretty accurate. I'm just assuming that some kind of celestial being has blessed you with a very, very, very strong back. And also told you that you're not allowed to carry more than 4,096 feathers.

A 19 meter fall would definitely kill you but it's not too much of a stretch. 12 meters is close to the mark where you're almost definitely going to die, and below that you may, but injuries may remain permanent or very long-lasting. NASA has some pretty detailed studies on the topic if that interests you. For the purpose of gameplay, it's only a slight logical stretch. If the gravitational force of the planet was slightly different from ours, for example, it'd be possible to survive such a fall.

19 seconds on fire is also pretty reasonable. It's actually quite a low survival time for a fire of moderate intensity. Long-lasting or permanent and severe burns would likely occur but it wouldn't completely kill you by then. Additionally, you aren't always immobile, in an enclosed area, or trapped somewhere with large amounts of fire burning around you. In such a situation oxygen deprivation would probably make you go unconscious before the fire killed you. Lava is definitely pretty crazy though. You'd be dead before you got close enough to actually touch it I'm pretty sure.

Actually, moderately intense fires can cause severe injuries within a matter of moments, and 19 seconds spent on fire will almost DEFINITELY kill you. I mean, it doesn't really take that long for fire to burn away organic material. 19 seconds can reduce a leg of chicken to ashes.

Steve really is a literal man of steel xD

I'm almost entirely certain it'd take longer than 19 seconds for a fire caused by the most often sources in the game to kill someone. I should have clarified that, as it's hard to say much about burning death without knowing exactly what's causing the burning. In the game it's generally a mundane fire started with flint and steel which burns flammable materials. Such a fire isn't particularly strong or large in most cases. It's one of the better scenarios possible when it comes to being on fire.

You focus on how long it takes to burn away organic material, and you would certainly not die from trauma that quickly unless the fire was absolutely massive. Even then, that might not even kill you first. In most cases, death is caused due to asphyxiation because of the smoke's damage to the lungs. It takes longer for the fire itself to burn your body away. In the game, you're often in a fairly open area. As such, there's more room to escape the smoke which is the primary killer in the short-term.

That being said, 19 seconds is more than enough to allow for infection, loss of fluids, or trauma to kill you in a few hours or days without (or even with, depending on the severity) medical attention. I'm assuming porkchops act as some kind of arcane form of healing haha

Yeah I suppose you're right xD I almost forgot about how the smoke is the actual killing factor
