Minecrafthas brought joy to millions of people over the last decade or so, and continues to provide a creative outlet to this day. Of course, it’s not all roses, especially with the recent controversy andMojang not backing down on its new reporting systemdespite a backlash from the community. However, in general, the game has enjoyed so much success with the community constantly showing off projects and ideas. Sometimes these are structures, and sometimes these are redstone contraptions that really show the game’s power.
Recently, Reddit user mattbatwings2 uploaded a brief video to show to otherMinecraftplayers. The clip reveals that, after flicking a switch, it’s possible to have an image transmitted from one place to another. In this instance, mattbatwings2 “drew” a Creeper face and, when a lever was activated, a panel to the left was able to recreate it through lit blocks. The user even said they were able to achieve this with just one wire. Whether there is a larger end goal in mind cannot be said, but just the fact that mattbatwings2 was able to do this is impressive in and of itself.

Those in the community may be aware of the name mattbatwings, whose YouTube channel is awash with some complex redstone engineering work. Just recently, they took some ideas from others and actualized them, one of which was to do arecreation ofDance Dance RevolutionwithinMinecraft. It’s obvious that mattbatwings2 has a lot of skill, as redstone can be quite complicated to use.
Even though it’s difficult to master,redstone is very versatile inMinecraftand is used in the creation of many unique builds. For example, people have made vending machines, alarm clocks, and X-ray machines. There have even been instances of fans recreating games likeFlappy Bird,Tetris, and evenWordle. While there have been some incredible builds in the past, sometimes of real-life structures, it’s redstone that really takes creativity to new heights.
As for the game itself, withMinecraftjust releasing itsSpongeBob SquarepantsDLC, there is evidently so much more life left in the open-world IP. It’s easily one of the most successful games in recent history, and it’s not hard to see why. With such a dedicated community of builders and players, not to mention frequent updates from the studio itself, there’s every possibility that people will still be playing the game for many more years to come.
