In a post online, a Minecraft fan has shown off their incredible hand-made nightlight creation. Minecraft continues to be one of the most-played games worldwide, with the game's sandbox providing unlimited potential for creativity.
Since Minecraft's release in 2011, it has become one of the sources of many incredible fan creations. With the game claiming the title of the best-selling video game of all time, its impact on players young and old continues to increase, with fans continuing to pay homage to it in posts online. While some creations such as this nightlight bring Minecraft into players' homes, others pay homage through in-game creations, with one player even recently creating a fully-functional trading card game within Minecraft. There seems to be no limit to the creativity of Minecraft fans, with the community providing a sea of fan creations daily for others to enjoy.
The nightlight was created by Redditor Adventurous_Try3518, who claims it's a gift for their son. The post shows off Minecraft's diamond ore block, with every pixel recreated in detail. It's a great creation that shows the impact Minecraft can have on multiple generations of players. The nightlight isn't the first creation of its ilk, either, with another Minecraft player creating a lamp based on the game's diamond ore.
In the comments, the user goes into more detail about the creation of the nightlight. It is created from frosted plexiglass, backed by color-changing LEDs, meaning that it can be changed to a different ore every night if desired. While the post only shows off diamond ore, the user could change it to iron ore, redstone, emerald ore, or any of the other ores Minecraft has to offer.
There is a lot to look forward to for fans of Minecraft. While news has been quiet on any potential spinoffs like Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Story Mode, the original game is still being updated with huge new features by developer Mojang. Up next is Minecraft's 1.20 update which adds archaeology to the game. The update will provide a whole new dynamic to Minecraft's exploration, and could change the way players experience the game forever. These updates are still arriving to Minecraft at a good pace, showing Mojang's dedication to continuing the legacy of the game. It would have been easy for the company to cash in on a sequel, but instead, it has continued to make the original the very best it can be.
Minecraft is available on PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy devices.
