Yes, it does need a cpu but as I said you don't need a modern cpu instruction set. With a small set you can a lot which can help keep the instruction size down so that it takes less space to make the cpu because you don't need as much bits going around in the cpu.
I just watch a video of stone working in SMP, time to start our Super Computer Empire everyone! This Computer will be able to modify the Client to Satisfy our wants of Minecraft!
You know what would be epic? If we created a computer in Miencraft that can play Minecraft, and then in that Minecraft we create another computer that plays Minecraft. So then there will be Minecraft in Minecraft in Minecraft. LOL xD

Watch MLP: FiM. It's awesome.

High-fives are a renewable resource, so there shall definitely be more.
That would not be cool. I think the limit of the coolness would be when we can hack Minecraft with a computer in Minecraft. Playing Minecraft in Minecraft just encourages a bad meme.
What if Minecraft is not real, but is instead some kind of virtual reality simulation to keep us deceived about the real nature of the world? I mean, I feel like I'm typing on my redstone computer right now, but what if my computer is just a simulation on a vastly more complex redstone computer? What if that computer doesn't even use redstone at all, but some kind of entirely different physics? What if

STORY?
once upon a time, scientist smartass was messing with atoms until one day HE MADE THE WHOLE WORLD INTO BLOCKS!. Now individually u must survive giant exploding green dicks at night in ur dirt house
Pong is going slow as I'm not putting 100% effort into the wiring schematic development. I've been playing Mass Effect, Halo Wars and working on my story. If anyone wants to help, PM me for an MSN and I can get my materials to you and we can co-develop this. I've got the high-order architecture mostly figured out, I just have to get into the nitty gritty details of how to make it actually function.

Can I ask how you are implementing Pong? Of course you aren't trying to build an entire computer with enough bits to run pong, but are you trying to replace commands in programming with logic gate sections and hooking those modules together, are you using fields of flip-flops to store the ball and paddle positions, how are you dealing with the physics of the ball hitting the paddle and bouncing at different angles, the walls, etc.
Alright, here's a very basic rundown of the architecture. There's the display, controls, paddle processor and physics processor. I've only put much thought into the last of these. The physics processor runs on a 10+2 bit memory core to store the position of the ball in terms of an x and y position, both in 3 bits, an angle in 2 bits and another bit for x and y direction. The remaining two bits are used in processing the angle for motion. And a clock system to power all the calculations in a consistent manner.
The processor is just a 3 bit adder and a 3 bit subtractor pair to each position matrix. The direction bit switches the clock signal to either the the subtractor or the adder. It checks for an event where the position is 000 or 111 as that would be a collision with the edge of the play area. In states such as these, the direction bit flips and then it runs as normal, going the other direction. For x collisions, it runs a check with the paddle system to see if it's there. The hold up for now is how to handle the angle.

Before anyone goes a long way to make a super complicated device so that they can say they have a computer, Slow down, and listen. By definition, a computer, well, Computes. Its takes an input, and changes it in some, pre-programmed way. To make a computer in minecraft, you do not need to make a 12 bit ram device with a kilobyte hard drive. to call something a computer, all it must do is compute. You can even technically call a simple inverter A computer, Just because it takes a 1 and makes it a 0, and vice versa. But thats a bit of stretch. A computer would be say, A calculator, in one of its somewhat more basic forms. But even then, it is very complicated. And if a single person here doubts what i'm saying, believe me, i know what i am saying. I have designed a simple, 2 input, 2 output, computer, called a half adder, from scratch. Google it. And not even in these simple dusty red wires you dare to call complicated, but in real. freaking. life. aside from the switches, LED's, Transistors, diodes, Wires and Batteries, It is all designed by Moi. I have the technical Schematics to prove it.
Oh, and did i mention my age? nope. 12. I designed that darned beast a year ago.
Edit: Sorry... Its late here, and after reading trough the thread, i was a bit annoyed to the fact that everyone thinks a computer uses a screen, a Os, and ram. It can, but thats not what defines a computer as a computer.

Yea, you totally need to mention your age to seem like you're a prodigy. I'd be more impressed if you actually continue learning more computer science stuff.
Egoism aside, although a definition of a computer is something that computes, most electronics/computer science enthusiasts refer to PROGRAMMABLE computers, because that's where the real fun (programming software) comes in.
Also, just to beat your nerdiness, I made, in a 2d physics sandbox, a mechanical digital 7 segment display, mechanical analog ballistic computer, mechanical programmable robot arm, mechanical conway's game of life, and, in Minecraft, a somewhat functional Turing machine. I had to design every single component and connections from scratch (there's no diagrams I can follow on the internet for this stuff), whereas you can simply follow step by step directions from the internet (no real way to prove you figured it out yourself). It takes real skill and autism to turn any medium into a computing one. And I never took a course in digital electronics nor computer science.
Because showing off your intelligence is the point of this thread.

YOU'RE TWELVE!? And damn, you know this much...
In any case, I think everyone knows that by definition a computer is something that computes. However, with modern terminology a computer can refer to the very device we are so familiar with this day and age
First, I'll take that as a compliment.
Second, in the most recent edit of the post, i mentioned at the end that, while "computer" can be used to refer to what i'm typing at now, Thats not the only kind of computer there is.
Third, im thinking about whether or not i should Sig what you said there at the beginning. :3

i builded a simple game where you was a red stick jumping over red torches comming after you
it isnt very long untill someone makes minecraft in minecraft, so we can mine blocks while mining blocks! :biggrin.gif:
though then notch needs to make more colourful torches then red---
this is also realtive
though i image it would be lot bigger, but you can fit probably everything under ground...
