In the news of amazing things people continue to do with Minecraft comes this one: one player is taking on the challenge to recreate Pokemon Red in vanilla Minecraft. That is, the game of it. Quite a task.
Reddit user Magib1 has been working on their project for a while already and they estimate the rest will take "a few months" to finish. The system works through swapping custom textures into view with each click to simulate the moves made by the player.
"There's a physical representation of the map in spawn chunks in which each block corresponds with a texture," says its creator. "When the player clicks, a reader armor stand moves and clones the row of new textures behind the display. Display armor stands then detect the block type and stick the corresponding texture on their head before moving. The player model is just swapping between a static walking and standing texture."
This isn't the first time this user has done something like this in Minecraft before either, they've already constructed a working Pacman in Minecraft previously with ghost AIs and everything.
