I can't wait to have windowing bugs and UI issues but in Minecraft!

Jokes aside, I've grown to love "XYZ in Minecraft". It's like a newer (still 2011 was a long time ago!) version of "Doom on XYZ".

This is amazing. And it's all done in 8 KLOC – half of it Java, half of it Rust.

Minecraft is becoming DOOM in terms of crazy technical feats.

I love it.

Is Minecraft dethroning Emacs as the new weird OS that can do everything but probably shouldn't? Can I check my email in minecraft yet?

I wonder how this would pair with a VR mod. It doesn't seem like Vivecraft supports the version this was posted for at the moment, but if they had the ability to play nice that seems like it would would be a fun way to experience software.

A friend sent this to me yesterday - I was very disappointed that the video didn't show off Minecraft in Minecraft.
