A Minecraft player has shared a jaw-dropping in-game build with the sandbox community, highlighting an impressive redstone Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it’s also been animated to perfection. There’s an endless list of mind-blowing structures being crafted in Minecraft every day by talented gamers and architects alike, and it takes a dedicated player to go the extra mile and bring their builds to life through animation.
Minecraft has been out in the wild since 2011, and the blocky, three-dimensional world celebrated its 15th anniversary this year. The sandbox is still one of the most played games in the world, spanning multiple platforms, and the developer unleashed a host of updates to keep gameplay fresh, including Armored Paws, Tricky Trials, The Garden Awakens, and Bundles of Bravery. Mojang recently unveiled the impressive stats Minecraft players achieved in 2024, including 347 billion blocks broken, and 44 million Armadillo scutes picked up, and it was also noted that 53 million eyeblossoms were collected.
Posted on Reddit by MythicalPingu, a 1-minute video clip was shared on the Minecraft subreddit, showcasing a blocky T-Rex walking down a river bank next to a row of houses. The dinosaur’s structure is fantastic, similar to another Minecraft player’s T-Rex head sculpt from a few years ago, but the real draw to this creation is the animated work that went into making it walk. The creator noted they had built the creature using redstone, and they decided to animate it to make it more “dynamic.” The amount of movement packed into the animation is commendable, right down to the tail swish.
Minecraft Player Shares Ambitious Animated Redstone T-Rex
There are several useful redstone contraptions in Minecraft, such as the Block Swapper and Bubble Elevator, and this T-Rex build certainly won the approval of the sandbox community. Redditors were in awe of the craftsmanship and immediately wanted a live wallpaper version of the dinosaur. Others raised a friendly demand for the creator’s Goat build for YouTuber Docm77 to go head-to-head in a new animation with MumboJumbo’s Bot-A-Cup.
Minecraft is one of the most anticipated 2025 video game adaptations, joining HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2, and live-action movies like Until Dawn, Mortal Kombat 2, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The trailer for A Minecraft Movie received a frosty reception after its bizarre trailer debuted, ahead of its April 2025 release, and the fantastical film will star Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, with Jack Black playing the popular character Steve.

WHERE TO PLAY
Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
