This is amazing. I always have this thought experiment of taking this back like 200 years and imaging how people would react to the things we’ve discovered in our world and thinking about how much it would progress the technology of the era.

I would imagine they'd be more surprised about the smartphone in front of their faces.

I just hope after extensive explanation and looking at the showcase they'd eventually ask what a Minecraft world was and why it was both flat and bigger than Earth.
