Minecraft is 16 years old

5 days in real life are pretty much equivalent to a minecraft year

16 years multiplied by 365 days PER year gives you 5840 days. Divide it by 5 to get how many years have passed since minecraft was created

The answer is 1,168 years

Thats how long has passed. That dog you left behind in your abandoned world? To you, you've probably been gone a couple years. For the dog, it has been decades. Maybe even centuries.

Let that sink in.
