Minecraft Creator Unveils Working Redstone GPT Chatbot Spanning 439 Million Blocks

The build runs a 5 million parameter model in pure redstone with replies that can take hours even on an accelerated server.

Overview

  • Builder sammyuri released CraftGPT with a video and GitHub repo, training the model externally on the TinyChat dataset before mapping inference to redstone inside Minecraft.
  • The in-game computer occupies roughly 1,020 by 260 by 1,656 blocks in volume, uses no command blocks or datapacks, and required the Distant Horizons mod to film its full scale.
  • Model details include 5,087,280 parameters, 240-dimensional embeddings, a vocabulary of about 1,920 tokens, six layers, and a 64-token context window with mostly 8-bit quantized weights.
  • Responses take around two hours per prompt even at roughly 40,000× tick rate on the MCHPRS server, with estimates of more than nine years at standard game speed.
  • The downloadable world is available on GitHub, requires at least 32GB of RAM to load, and the creator cautions that outputs can be off-topic or ungrammatical as the project serves as a proof of concept.
