Recently articles popped up of how someone created a working ALU in Minecraft. For example, this article on ALU in Minecraft. He is quoted in some articles saying he is going to take it a step further and create a real-working computer in Minecraft (a computer in a computer).
If he achieves this, what could be a possible application of a real-working computer inside a video game? Or is this more of a video game simulation of how computers work?

There is no application, any more so than any software virtual machine or emulator has any application. In short, anything that can be done with an ALU built in Minecraft can be done more easily and efficiently without playing Minecraft.
It may however, be less fun. Certainly, there is educational value in something like this, with the right teacher. But that's orthogonal to any sort of practical use.
