AMinecraftplayer has created a working mirror in the vanilla version of the game, managing to do something that developer Mojang hasn’t incorporated itself. There are so many ways to play the open-world sandbox title that it’s not surprising it’s considered agame with near-infinite replay value. As the years go by, it seems as though there will eventually come a time in which everything that can be done inMinecrafthas been done, but that doesn’t appear to be the case right now.

There are some fans who will createrealistic cities inMinecraft, while others will construct some elaborate redstone contraptions that border on genius. It’s one of the reasons that millions are still playing the game after well over a decade. Its longevity largely comes from the community that continues to showcase some incredible projects, and there are times when players will create something that the original studio maybe didn’t think about.

In a recent post on Reddit, user DiscardableLikeMe has shown that it’s possible to make a functional mirror inMinecraftwithout using mods. In a brief clip, they show a snippet from their gameplay, in which they approach a reflective surface that shows a mirrored image of their avatar. While it doesn’t depict all the motions of the player, such as punching, their reflection follows them around the room just like a real mirror. When asked how they achieved it, DiscardableLikeMe said they made it with a lot of command blocks. Using math, they essentially took the coordinates of the player, stored them in a scoreboard, and applied the figures to an armor stand. It sounds pretty complicated, but the result is something quite impressive.

Command blocks inMinecraftcan be very useful for achieving certain things that regular crafting and building can’t do. Combining commands with the game’s powerful construction mechanics, not to mention all the community mods that are available, it’s easy to see whyMinecrafthas stood the test of time. It may be more than 10 years old at this point, but it’s still selling in droves and has become one of the most successful releases in all of gaming.

For those who have yet to play Mojang’s iconic title, now is as good a time as any, or at the very least, it will make anideal Christmas gift for any gamer. There may come a time when fans will move on fromMinecraft, but for now, it seems as popular as ever, so it’s almost certainly going to be in the limelight for many more years to come.

Minecraftis available on Mobile, PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
