One of the most intriguing things about Minecraft is not just its sheer size, but its roster of building mechanics that allow for endless possibilities. As avideo game with near infinite replay value, it doesn't seem to matter how long Minecraft has been out because fans will always find new things to construct, whether it's an intricately designed building or a complex Redstone system that boggles the mind. Not only that, but there are also opportunities for players to create a different game entirely inside the blocky world, and that's exactly what one person has done.
As spotted by PCGamesN, YouTuber CraftyMasterman uploaded a video which showcases them creating something in Minecraft that's not only fairly complex, but huge as well. In this case, they took part in a building contest and decided that their project would be a massively upscaled version of the classic Windows game Minesweeper. The video shows the thought process that needed to go into the build. And while CraftyMasterman didn't win the competition, they did power through to the end to create not one but two versions of the long-running puzzle game. They also managed to create a map that shows the Minesweeper board in the player's hand, which is a pretty genius move.

The task in question was to create something using only Minecraft's Redstone element which is the equivalent of circuitry in the game and is used to make all sorts of interesting contraptions. In order to get a fully working version of Minesweeper, CraftyMasterman had to work out a way for the game to signpost whether any adjacent squares contained any mines and also place flags like in the original game. It took many weeks, but they were able
