Assuming there are 12 000 different block states this means that 14 bits are needed per block and hence one monecraft world needs 60 000 000 × 60 000 000 × 385 × 14 = 1.9404 × 10^19 bits or 2.425 billion Gibibytes. Where does all these data get stored?

Others have already covered the generation on demand aspect so I’ll just add: compression:
It will store a range of blocks that are all water, dirt, air, netherack, whatever rather than storing each and every block individually. it’s not that different than how images and video are compressed.
