I really hope they don't render a block with 16 triangles.
and there could be thousands of blocks on screen. You're easily
looking at 200,000 triangles on "far" render mode.
Look up triangles/sec on modern video cards, you'll be surprised.
Then you have folks who use 512x512 mapped images per block, so
now you have a HUGE textel density.
People need to get their facts straight. I don't like
Minecraft, but by no means in Minecraft some amateur game from
1990s running terribly on a computer.
Compared to real games, it is.
