This is not opinion — it follows directly from how Minecraft defines space, state, and combinations.

==== This alone makes the task count infinite. ====

===== - The Overworld, Nether, and End are all effectively infinite grids. =====
* Coordinates are unbounded integers (within engine limits, but still astronomically large).
* You require: >

===== - Let coordinates be points on ℤ³. =====
* The number of coordinate pairs is infinite.
* Between any two points, the number of distinct paths is infinite: - You can detour arbitrarily. - You can loop. - You can zigzag in unlimited ways.

Even if you restrict to simple paths with no revisits, there are still infinitely many.

📌 Conclusion:
Just this one requirement ⇒ ∞ tasks.

==== Still infinite, even before status effects. ====

===== - Slimes: size varies continuously across splits =====
* Zombies: - Baby / adult - Armor combinations - Item pickup states - Reinforcement calls
* Villagers: - Profession × level × biome × trades × discounts

These combinations are combinatorial, not enumerated lists.

📌 Finite? No — variants are not capped.

==== This pushes the infinity into a higher order. ====

===== - ~30+ effects =====
* Each has: - Duration (integer ticks → unbounded) - Amplifier (unbounded via commands, but even in survival many exceed practical caps) - Multiple simultaneous effects

The number of subsets of effects alone is:

230≈1,073,741,8242^{30} \approx 1,073,741,824230≈1,073,741,824
Then multiply by:
* Durations
* Amplifier levels
* Order of application
* Overlapping timing

📌 This is not just infinite — it’s combinatorially infinite.

==== Death messages are parameterized, not enumerated. ====

Examples:
* %1$s was shot by %2$s
* %1$s was slain by %2$s using %3$s

Where:
* %2$s = any entity name (custom named mobs → infinite)
* %3$s = any item with any name, lore, enchantments

You can create new death messages forever by renaming items.

📌 Infinite unique death messages.

==== Even this is not finite in your ruleset. ====

Why:
* Blocks can exist in: - Every orientation - Every waterlogged state - Every growth stage - Every NBT state
* Some blocks regenerate (stone, deepslate, end stone via world mechanics)

Also:
* You included obtaining, not just touching — durability, metadata, and container state matter.

📌 Not finitely enumerable.

==== Banners are finite: ====
* 16 colors
* 6 pattern layers
* Pattern ordering matters

Total banner designs:

 2.3×1016\text{~}2.3 \times 10^{16} 2.3×1016
That’s:
* Finite ✔
* Still physically impossible ✔

But even completing this does not counteract the infinite tasks above.

==== Some mobs: ====
* Breed with random genetics
* Produce inheritable attributes
* Can be named, modified, or affected mid-process

Even if breeding pairs were finite (they aren’t), stateful outcomes are not.

📌 Unbounded outcome space.

==== Fixing the seed removes structural randomness, but not: ====
* Coordinate infinity
* Path infinity
* Time-based variance
* State combinations
* Player-driven naming and ordering

The seed only fixes terrain, not possibility space.
