Dev debunks viral Minecraft bitflip video: palette compression makes it a blatant fake

User mike64t posted a detailed technical debunk of @AtomicFrontiers' viral Minecraft "bitflip" video, calling it blatant fake or at least deceptive. Key argument: Minecraft's palette compression indexes distinct blocks per chunk and stores local pseudo-IDs, so a bit flip can only produce blocks already present in that chunk — a stone-and-air chunk would only ever alternate between the two. The video's nucleotide state-transition table doesn't match how the game actually works, and an end portal via radiation is practically impossible even in pre-flattening 1.12.
