gollark: Is a command block *alone* (with a normal generated world, not a grid of armour stands or something) actually Turing-complete?
gollark: It's *pretty* tarpitty.
gollark: Command blocks are mostly just that but higher-level, I guess. They can't really adjust their own rules or whatever. Though what they can do does lead surprisingly often to crazy complex stuff.
