      Apparently so but it that’s the case how does Minecraft fit into a computer?

      Minecraft as in the game? The radius of Neptune is 15,299 miles. According to google, a Minecraft world grows in size as you explore it with a maximum size of x:±3000000, y:256 and z:±3000000. I couldn’t find the unit of measurement for how big Minecraft is so its hard to compare.

      I did some research and found that Neptune has a radius of 24,622 km, and the Minecraft world is 60,000 kilometers by 60,000 kilometers. Meaning that, yes, it’s actually bigger than Neptune!

      Well having had a look at this it seems that the Minecraft world is possibly infinite! If that is the case then it is bigger than Neptune, Our Solar System the Milkyway and if our current model of the universe is correct then actually bigger than the Universe itself.
      I am not sure my brain can cope with something bigger being inside a smaller thing. These are brilliant questions as they raise all sorts of interesting ideas about multiple universes, the definition of infinity and how do you get to the end https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/The_End
