Active camouflage in Minecraft in only 148144 commands

YouTuber slicedlime made this bonkers command block machine as a thank you for 1000 YouTube subscribers.

It has 148144 command blocks totaling more than 27 million characters that sample the blocks around the player who wears the predator armor, calculates the average color and gives the appropriate dyed armor. Lots of command blocks, yet it still runs pretty smoothly assuming that you give Java a decent amount of memory and that you don't stand among the commands blocks.

You can see the video here, or if you'd rather toy with it for yourself you can download the world file here or on the Planet Minecraft page.

If you try it out, give it a while when you first log in to the world - it lags terribly for a little bit since you end up among the command blocks in the spawn chunks, but you'll be moved out to a better spawn and get back to normal framerates.
