Clever Minecraft Player Shows How To Make Tunnels More Interesting

Building structures in Minecraft not only acts as one of the main draws of the game, but also gives players the opportunity to test out their designing skills for everything from sprawling mansions to humble cottages. However, one player has taken the inspiration for interior design in Minecraft underground to make some interesting looking tunnels that wouldn't normally spawn within the game world.

According to a user on Reddit, MCEdit_Scripts, these tunnels are accomplished through a computer-assisted operation that follows a waveform to place blocks and then clears out the tunnels by plowing a sphere that deletes blocks through the area. Essentially, this means that the player sets up a program to place patterns throughout the Minecraft map in a random order and then bore tunnels out with a giant modded drill of sorts.

The result of all of this level editing and modding is a series of tunnels that have almost spectral patterns to them as the player glides through the long empty halls. Thanks in part to the many colors of blocks that are placed with the waveform, these tunnels have an appearance that can't be found anywhere else in the game. Even locations like Minecraft's new Ancient Cities or the previously updated Nether don't have the type of unreal visual effect that this player's tunnels have.

While the development of these tunnels is currently a work in progress by the player, it could make for a strong inspiration for a future Minecraft mod and even updates down the line. Beyond modding or using this process to build new biomes, fans commenting on the original post also mentioned a particular resemblance in the tunnels to the Time Vortex from Doctor Who. So one
