by The world of Minecraft is an opportunity to unleash creativity and sometimes players use the game to show their love for popular streamers.
Minecraft it’s been out for so long that there are some players who practically grew up with it. As a video game that consumes hundreds of hours, the possibilities of what to create are almost endless, and many players continue to show off amazing builds and unique creations. For some, there are even things that can be done in the game that the actual developer might not have thought possible, as one fan recently demonstrated.
Upload a short clip to the Minecraft subreddit, user TheRigbyB has shown that it is possible to create an animated gif in the world of blocks. Using a complex series of functions and numerous blocks of different textures, they were able to create an animation of none other than the popular Twitch streamer xQc, specifically the “despair” gif in which he quickly goes from a jovial smile to a sulky mood, with the background that changes from black.
The fact that TheRigbyB could make an entire gif in Minecraft it’s pretty spectacular. The clip even shows them getting closer to it to get a better look at how the blocks change smoothly and in unison. The image of xQc, which recently broke the Twitch viewership record, is very realistic, not to mention huge, too, and is practically a perfect replica of the original animation. In response to a comment, the creator even said that they actually wanted to make a music video that was even bigger, but the game just couldn’t handle it.
There are a lot of talented teams and individuals in the community creating many amazing and detailed builds within Minecraft, some of which are recreations of real-world buildings and structures. What TheRigbyB has done shows not only that there are an almost endless number of ways players can use the powerful tools and extensive landscape the game offers, but also that projects can be as complex as players want them to be.
Minecraft is one of the highest-grossing video games of all time, and it’s not hard to see why. At over ten years old, it would be understandable for some to think that the appeal of building in a low-res game would eventually fade. That doesn’t seem to be the case though, as the popularity of Mojang’s IP seems to be as strong as ever, especially with all the unique projects players are creating.
Minecraft is available on mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
