Have you ever heard of inflation theory in cosmology? It’s the scientific theory that states the atoms that comprise our universe multiply among themselves infinitely, making sure that our world never ends. This means that no matter what we do, we’ll never be able to escape our universe, just like we’ll never escape Minecraft.

When you start playing the iconic indie game and explore its intricate and fascinating randomly generated world, you might ask yourself how far you can go.

How much of this world can you influence, and for how long? The answer is: not much, or at least it was in the older console versions of the game, as the planet eventually hits an invisible wall and prevents you from going further.

However, in the modern versions of Minecraft, the game will go on forever.

Compared to other games, Mojang doesn’t bother to create an illusion of a beyond or some outside world. Instead, they just make sure to keep you in by making it impossible to find an exit.
