I can't wait to have windowing bugs and UI issues but in Minecraft!

Jokes aside, I've grown to love "XYZ in Minecraft". It's like a newer (still 2011 was a long time ago!) version of "Doom on XYZ".

This is amazing. And it's all done in 8 KLOC – half of it Java, half of it Rust.

Minecraft is becoming DOOM in terms of crazy technical feats.

I love it.

Becoming? crazy stuff has been done in Minecraft for the longest time. Someone built a functional CPU and computer in Minecraft in 2010.

I agree: running simulated computers inside of Minecraft is a significantly more impressive technical feat than bolting on display surfaces to planes with a mod.

There's a big difference between something being compiled to run inside of Minecraft, versus running a sidecar that streams back a display. It's the difference between compiling and running on your machine, and streaming back a cloud machine using RDP.

Not like this makes a difference to users, who don't know how any of this works. But we are on Hacker News...

Just because someone has done a more impressive project in Minecraft doesn't mean this one isn't interesting

Finally, I can escape to paradise and work remote.

If its not written with blocks its not real.

"In Minecraft" doesn't mean what it used to. When somebody wrote an 8-bit CPU literally "in Minecraft" it used to be badass. Now it's just a game addon.

There are multiple ways that something can be "in minecraft"

It was more fun when people implemented gates. :)

You speak as if this isn't neat in its own way.

Is Minecraft dethroning Emacs as the new weird OS that can do everything but probably shouldn't? Can I check my email in minecraft yet?

arikrahman•34 minutes ago

Emacs can do everything and probably should though

With this compositor I’d think it could do anything at this point.

For the real emacs experience you could use this mod to render an IDE in Minecraft editing the mod that renders the IDE.

I wonder how this would pair with a VR mod. It doesn't seem like Vivecraft supports the version this was posted for at the moment, but if they had the ability to play nice that seems like it would would be a fun way to experience software.

avaer•about 2 hours ago

There are already VR overlay applications that do this on top of any game, not just Minecraft.

Philpax•about 2 hours ago

Yes, but part of the fun is doing it in Minecraft and using Minecraft's language for it (e.g. putting windows in your inventory, pulling them out of chests, etc)

A friend sent this to me yesterday - I was very disappointed that the video didn't show off Minecraft in Minecraft.
