Minecraft fan builds terrifying Pac-Man minigame

Minecraft is a versatile game, and that’s why it’s home to things like working versions of Minesweeper and Wordle. Basically, anything is possible in this sandbox game thanks to the community’s creativity. Today, though, we’re bringing you another classic game in Minecraft, but this one has a fairly big twist.

In less haunting news, a Redditor is working on a plugin to bring spellcasting into Minecraft, and the demonstrations will blow your socks off – and also blow up a huge chunk of the
