Minecraft House Contains Itself Infinitely Thanks To Weird Mods

Thanks to the popular Immersive Portals mod, an inventive Minecraft player managed to build a house which contains itself infinitely and allows players to visit each replica in an endless journey. To make the house a real home, some video game fans might want to include an arcade cabinet, which is actually possible thanks to a different mod.

A dedicated Minecraft fan managed to build a fully interactive arcade cabinet with a playable custom game called Billy on it. Such an enthusiastic task required some additional modeling, which was performed in a special 3D voxel editor to create an authentic blocky prop of an arcade machine for Minecraft. The game which can be launched on the cabinet is disarmingly simple. The character must collect coins while trying to avoid obstacles by jumping and ducking. Still, the very fact that it is possible to execute such a construct within Minecraft is just amazing.

Non-Euclidean geometry in Minecraft has become quite popular recently thanks to a host of sophisticated mods that allow the player to do some truly bizarre things which break the rules of classic Euclidian geometry in the game. As demonstrated by LennyTheSniper on Reddit, one of the latest examples of this building philosophy is a house which contains itself infinitely, as there’s always a small, interactive replica of it in the living room. This replica contains the same room with yet another tiny model of the building, making the journey across cloned houses an endless one. All that’s needed is to either shrink or enlarge the character model so that the replicas can be accessed easily. According to the author, there’s actually not one mod but rather a mix involved. To be more specific, the Immersive Portals and Pekhui mods were used on the Fabric launcher to achieve this impressive result. Basically, it’s always the same house as the player is just being teleported between smaller and larger realms.

There’s another promising Minecraft mod currently in development, which can come in handy when terraforming the landscape to fit one’s creative needs. Called Smart Hole Filler, the mod can automatically fill any existing gaps by patching the spaces according to the surrounding types of blocks. Interestingly, it all happens in real-time. A player throws a small sphere in the hole, which is then swiftly filled in with perfectly matching materials.

This latest example of non-Euclidean geometry in Minecraft is changing fans’ perception of in-game reality, which is quite an impressive feat on its own. To develop the idea even further, enterprising players can design proper adventure maps based on non-Euclidean builds. Basically, the surreal gameplay of Antichamber or The Stanley Parable can hypothetically be simulated in Minecraft thanks to the ingenuity of the modding community.

Minecraft is available on all platforms.
