It's been going strong for more than a decade at this point, yet Minecraft does not seem to be showing any signs of letting up, which for millions of fans, can only be a good thing. With the recent Caves & Cliffs part 2 update going live last November, there is always so much to explore and the studio seems keen to keep introducing new assets for longevity's sake. With its open world vastness and LEGO-style building mechanics, it has captured the hearts of young and old gamers across the world, and it seems as though one team has decided to bring the classic Danish blocks into the Mojang universe.
A recent user who goes by the name AlexTestria excitedly uploaded a TikTok video to the Minecraft Subreddit recently, showing off their latest patch from "Brickcraft," a resource pack that, as the name hints at, changess the game's visuals to make it look exactly like a giant, digital LEGO set. The original build of the pack went live a few months ago, but this latest post signals the newest update to the mod.
The graphics, as well as the game's assets such as tress, really do resemble the world-famous toy bricks, which includes the studs and "anti-studs" that are traditionally used to stack bricks on top of each other in reality. A mod that turns Minecraft into LEGO is something that just seems to make sense, given that the former almost certainly takes inspiration from the latter. And even if it doesn't, at least directly, many players understand that both have captured that endless creativity that never seems to age.
Minecraft texture or resource packs are part and parcel of the whole experience, giving the sandbox title a whole new style and look. There's even a version of the game that enables Nvidia's ray-tracing technology, which significantly improves the overall lighting, shadow, and general visual quality of this otherwise blocky game. This is all to increase the potential of this decade-old fan-favorite that has gone down as one of the most successful releases in modern gaming history.
As a game with near-infinite replayability, to see fans, modders, and the studio itself continue to improve on the original format shows just how popular it remains to this day. Those who wish to download "Brickcraft" can do so from the creator's original page. It should, however, be pointed out that only the lowest quality pack can be downloaded for free. Those who wish to try the better quality versions are asked to donate €2, or around $2.56. Though, it will almost certainly be worth it for those who love both Minecraft and LEGO.
Minecraft was released on November 18, 2011, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and many other platforms.
