Minecraft Player Builds Functional AI Chatbot Using Redstone Logic

A Minecraft enthusiast has achieved a remarkable technical feat by constructing a working AI chatbot entirely within the game using its redstone logic system. The project, spanning hundreds of millions of blocks, encodes a 5-million-parameter language model—akin to early GPT architectures—without mods or command blocks.

Redstone, Minecraft's in-game equivalent of electrical circuitry, enables digital logic through blocks acting as power sources, repeaters, and logic gates. While functional, the system operates at an glacial pace: generating responses can take hours even with optimization. The build serves as both a technical art piece and a conceptual demonstration of computation's substrate-agnostic nature.

This follows a tradition of redstone engineering that previously produced calculators and CPUs within Minecraft's block universe. The chatbot's implementation pushes these boundaries further, albeit as a proof-of-concept rather than a practical tool.
