  • Playing Minecraft in real life is something i have been thinking about for a while and when @minecraft reached out for a collaboration I started thinking about how to implement ideas in the game into my physical reality. This project involves exploring my land in Joshua Tree and harvesting resources, using and making tools to create an inventory of building materials and then using those materials to make creative projects. I started with raw desert land and dug up some ground to turn into rammed earth blocks. There was a lot of experimentation with the mixes of soil and cement and i also tried using the same techniques to recycle materials like cardboard, glass and plastics. I used the blocks to make a garden that is based on the garden i built in game! #MinecraftPartner

    A great sponsor for inspiration. Now using this as a base, you could also take the idea of redstone blocks that conduct 'power' in the game and use that with recycled glass, bottles or the glass blocks you've used before to create modular lighting.

      yes! I was thinking of trying to mix in a. bunch of metal filing from our metal shop to see if I could make a concrete that conducts electricity or at least rusts red

    The radiant heat from the blocks will create a micro climate for the plants, allowing them to survive the cold nights and extend your growing season into cooler months, cheers.

    You have some grass around, could try to dabble in some adobe bricks, depending on the clay %

    Maybe in the future you can make a few more metal molds and mark a line on the inside so you can make more consistent blocks.
    This is definitely a cool technique and it’s really cool to use your local resources!

    I truly believe that Microsoft should make a Minecraft based CAD program.
    Minecraft inspires so many aspiring architects and designers-including myself. It’s a platform we are all familiar with, and comfortable using.

    I think the cubes in Minecraft are supposed to represent 1 cubic meter, but that probably would've been pretty hard to move around, haha

  • @bigonprivacy2708

    Any rammed earth needs to be mixed very well dry before adding water, which should ideally be no more than 10% by weight. Also bricks get stronger when you have aggregate in there (not bigger than 3/4) but will huge improvement in strength. But I love the iteration!!!

      Make them 1 decimeter on a side, then they can be stacked together to make 1m cubes, and due to natural color variation, would look just like the blocks in the game. Make 1m x 1dm x 1dm beams to use on the second-to-top course, so the 1m cubes can be left mostly hollow, saving labor and materials.

    How are you acting like this is sustainable when you are taking *steel* to produce these molds that took way more greenhouse gases and resources to produce? Don't get me wrong, I like your channel, and you're super creative, but don't use the "sustainability" narrative when this is clearly not sustainable mi amore

    • @doggygaming950

      It's a concept. The steel could be reused to the point its impact is insignificant.
