Summary
- Minecraft's Creative mode allows for greater artistic expression.
- YouTuber Bubbaflubba recreated famous paintings in Minecraft using the World Edit mod.
- More blocks introduced in Minecraft create new possibilities for artistic creations.
Popular Minecraft YouTuber Bubbaflubba has recreated famous paintings like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Edvard Munch's The Scream in the game. Minecraft's Creative mode allows gamers to express themselves artistically, and this YouTuber may have taken this to a new level.
Minecraft was still in its beta phase when Creative mode was added to the game, opening up the potential for more artistic expression. Before this, gamers were stuck to Survival, which was still open to creativity, but within the limitations and physics of the mode. As Minecraft introduced more blocks to the game since it was released, it created new avenues and possibilities for Creative and Survival modes alike. Players have shared impressive builds like an incredibly detailed locomotive, a giant statue of Pokemon's Hisuian Typhlosion, a replica of SpongeBob's Pineapple home, and much more. One Minecraft gamer has decided to use the standard lineup of resources to recreate four incredible paintings.
Minecraft is Releasing Hello Kitty DLC
Minecraft reveals its latest collaboration added to the Marketplace with a trailer revolving around Hello Kitty and its extensive cast of characters.
YouTuber Bubbaflubba recently shared a video highlighting their Minecraft version of several world-famous paintings. The video begins with Bubbaflubba expressing their intent to change the minds of people who think of Minecraft as a video game rather than an art program meant for artistic expression. The Youtuber then goes on to recreate Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, Edvard Munch's The Scream, and Johannes Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring in the game with only the World Edit mod. While creating each painting, Bubbaflubba highlights the various details that go into each one and the methods they used to recreate them.
This is How Four Famous Paintings Would Look in Minecraft
Bubbaflubba's video is like the sped-up Minecraft equivalent of watching Bob Ross paint his landscapes, and he implements a grid method to complete the builds. These paintings are well-known globally, and all but The Scream can be found in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While he's constructing the Mona Lisa painting, Bubbaflubba points out that Minecraft's block pallet is still a bit limited for creating photorealistic builds. The blocks used for the paintings include stripped logs and planks of various wood types, copper of different oxidizations, Terracotta, Stone, Deepslate, and more. Beyond doing the paintings themselves, BubbaFlubba also framed each one, which helped them stand out from the surrounding landscape.
As the only mod that Bubbaflubba used was World Edit, most Minecraft players may be able to recreate these paintings in their worlds. Given that Mojang continues to update Minecraft, more blocks may be introduced to the game, which could open up even more possibilities for paintings like this.

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!
