Minecraft Player Creates Impressive Redesign of Classic Mob
A talented Minecraft player creates an impressive redesign of a classic mob, making an old favorite feel fresh all over again.
On Reddit, a user known as Chokoieee21 shared pictures of a gold mine they built in Minecraft. However, this was no ordinary gold mine, as the player revealed they designed it after the gold mines from Warcraft 3. Impressively, they replicated the exterior of the Warcraft 3 location in fine detail. For example, the player included gold blocks off to the side, with a fence surrounding the perimeter of the predominately stone structure.
Minecraft Player's Warcraft 3 Gold Mine Recreation
When sharing the post to Reddit, Chokoieee21 pointed out that this gold mine recreation was made in an older version of Minecraft, meaning they were somewhat limited in what blocks they could use. Nevertheless, many fans were impressed with the results, complementing the builder on bringing two of their favorite games together. So far, the post has gained over 4K upvotes.
It is often exciting to see Minecraft players put their own spin on classic locations from other games, as this gold mine recreation from Warcraft 3 attests. In fact, this is not the first tribute to a Blizzard property made in Mojang’s game. Another gamer previously created a Dark Portal from World of Warcraft in Minecraft. Using old concept art as a reference, the player replicated the iconic appearance of the structure from Burning Crusade.
In addition to the many creations being shared by the community, Mojang is preparing to release its latest game drop, The Garden Awakens, on December 3. This new content update brings The Pale Garden biome to Minecraft along with the spooky Creaking mob. With this biome, new blocks related to The Pale Garden are being added, meaning players will have even more options when creating in the game.

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!
