Minecraft‘s world allows players to express their unlimited creativity, and some players use the game to show their support for popular streamers.
Minecraft has been around for so long that some players have practically grown up with it. With hundreds of hours of gameplay, the possibilities for what to make are nearly endless, with many players continuing to show off incredible builds and one-of-a-kind creations. As one fan recently demonstrated, there are even things that can be done in the game that the developer may not have thought possible.
User TheRigbyB demonstrated how to make an animated gif in the blocky world by uploading a short clip to the Minecraft subreddit. They were able to create an animation of none other than popular Twitch streamer xQc, specifically the “despair” gif, in which he quickly goes from a jovial smile to a moody sulk, with the background changing black, using a complex series of functions and numerous differently textured blocks.
TheRigbyB’s ability to create an entire gif in Minecraft is truly remarkable. They even move closer to it in the video to get a better look at the blocks changing smoothly and in lockstep.
The image of xQc, who recently set a new Twitch viewership record, is extremely lifelike, not to mention massive, and is a near-perfect replica of the original animation. In response to one comment, the creator even stated that they had intended to make a larger music video, but that the game couldn’t handle it.
Many talented groups and individuals in the Minecraft community create many incredible and detailed builds, some of which are recreations of real-world buildings and structures.
What TheRigbyB has done demonstrates not only that the game’s powerful tools and sprawling landscape can be used in an almost infinite number of ways, but also that projects can be as complex as players want them to be.
It’s easy to see why Minecraft is one of the most popular video games of all time. It’s understandable for some to believe that the appeal of building in a low-resolution game would fade after ten years. That does not appear to be the case, as Mojang’s IP appears to be as popular as ever, especially with all of the unique projects that players are creating.
