This was posted a while ago on the gaming subreddit.

The creator posted some interesting comments there so I'll link the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/h8ayq8/i_made_a_min....

I feel the reddit post is much better at demonstrating the mod :) Might be nice if the post's URL was updated to the post rather than the curseforge page.

How funny would it be if someone made a realistic non-voxel version of minecraft that is only playable on a VM Computer in minecraft. I imagine inhabitants of a voxel world would create games that are stylistically different from their own world.

That’s neat. But is this useful at all? Does this have any practical purpose in minecraft other than play minecraft inside the game?

Maybe in dystopian China you can get around VPN in a fool proof way?

Virtual world seems like a good place to organize any kind of rebellion too.

I think the CCP knows that.

E.g. Animal Crossing wasn't officially for sale in China, but is now banned: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52269671

It's just running a local copy of virtualbox, minecraft is completely superfluous if that use case was valid

But can it run Crysis?

Slightly ot. But I have been trying unsuccessfully to buy Minecraft Java edition for a friend. This has been extremely frustrating. The password on my old Mojang account was no longer accepted. Password reset uses some insane undocumented password complexity rule that I finally beat after using a 30+ character passphrase with letters caps special characters and numbers (plurals mandatory). Ofc that phasphrase is then not accepted when actually trying to log in. Tried Minecraft.net having the friend make an account there, but their payment gateway is broken.

This is 2020. Ecommerce payments was solved decades ago. What gives?
