6* Confronting and killing an enemy that you previously had to avoid is always a gratifying sign of progression.
7* Ghasts are nuisances at best, and deadly at worst. But if you time it right you can bat their explosive fireball back at them, instantly killing them if it connects. The achievement you get for this feat is gratifying.\
8If you're skilled, you can deflect a Ghast Fireball to deflect another Ghast Fireball fired from the same Ghast to kill it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlDS2JdyJrI Proof here.]]
9* The fact that villagers can repopulate. Night after night, they're attacked by zombies, but still won't give up the village.
10* If you strike an enemy with a trident enchanted with Channeling during a thunderstorm, you call down a bolt of lightning to strike that enemy for extra damage, punctuated with DramaticThunder. You really feel like you're tossing out a BoltOfDivineRetribution.
11* The Enchanted Golden Apple/Notch Apple is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome waiting to happen. Unlike the unenchanted variant, which give you two extra hearts for a few minutes and some considerable regeneration, this will pretty much give you a SuperMode if you eat it. Incredible regen for approximately 30 seconds, resistance so now you can tank even more damage, the same two hearts as the average golden apple (and ''six more''!), and finally fire resistance. Eating one of these when you're about to be overrun or overpowered will turn the tide into your favour, no matter what situation.
12* The 1.7 update is one of the most awesome updates since the Adventure Update. In addition to new biomes and fishing mechanic overhauls, powerful new commands are already making cool things possible in game (without having to exit the game to use a map editor) even with just the preview snapshots. Things such as being able to simply use a command block to detect, place, or remove blocks will likely revolutionize what is possible in maps.
13* Finishing assembly of a Conduit gives you a Conduit Power buff that constantly refills your oxygen and improves your vision underwater while you're near the Conduit. The Conduit also damages any underwater enemies that draw close. With that, swimming around the murky depths becomes far less intimidating, and you can even farm the Guardians of an Ocean Monument this way!
14* The Caves and Cliffs Part 2 update gives us some ''seriously'' breathtaking cave and mountain generation. Not only are there some huge, spacious caves that come with various natural cave structures and the possibility to have cave biomes, they also have certain cave areas that are completely submerged as well. As for mountains, they can grow ''tall'' and stunning, resembling real life mountains a lot more thanks to the new world height limit.
15* The Wandering Traders are ''villagers'' who can survive in the wilderness. How? They have an unlimited amount of invisibility potions so the monsters can never find them.
16* Anytime the player [[VideoGameCaringPotential saves]] the [[AlwaysLawfulGood Villagers]] from attacking Zombies or Illagers. It's especially awesome if the player has end game weapons and armor and can turn the Illagers raid into an epic CurbStompBattle against ''them''.
17** Defeating a raid alone is one thing, but it's also gratifying to build a small army of Iron Golems, then sit back and watch them clobber the raiders into submission.
18* When you go to sleep, cats will slip outside to go prowling for gifts to give you. These gifts can be anything from rabbit pelts, chicken, which one can expect from a cat. However, they can also bring in bits of zombie flesh and a ''phantom membrane''. It's then you'll probably realize our adorable little housecat isn't just finding presents, its hunting monsters wandering around outside your house.
19* The Mace introduced in the 1.20 snapshots. It's a powerful weapon whose damage increases the higher distance you fall, which outright negates the FallDamage if you manage to strike any unlucky mobs and shoves away everyone else with the mighty impact. Players have even managed to OneHitKO the bosses, including the ''[[DamageSpongeBoss Warden]]''. Completely AwesomeButImpractical because of the setup and definite risk of death if you miss? Yes. The fact that it's proven to be possible? [[Main/RuleOfCool Also yes]].

23* Someone is working on recreating Hyrule from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. [[{{Stealthpun}} Link]] [[http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/843010-recreating-zelda-ocarina-of-time/ here.]]
24* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asImTDkPWKA Take a very long straight minecart track, high res textures, music, and time-compressed into a 3-minute music video?]]
25** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPDZPUk1uwI And that might be even longer track.]]
26* Some Eurogamer readers recreated [[http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/eg-readers-build-new-york-minster York Minster Cathedral]], the largest medieval cathedral in the UK. To scale.
27* A bunch of fans got together and recreated the [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Kanto Region]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZG_huoo7CM Yes, really.]]
28** And now they've done the same to the [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Hoenn]] Region. [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Johto]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Sinnoh]] are currently in the works.
29** For anyone interested in visiting, it can be found [[http://tinyurl.com/PokeCraft here.]]
30** And now [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EufPyaiGhG4 we've got Unova too.]]
31* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXTXV-wvZKQ Super Mario Bros Level 1-1 done as a pixel art floor!]]
32* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn2-d5a3r94 Someone constructed the whole framework for the Enterprise.]] It is 1:1 Scale.
33** As a prelude to constructing the entire ship to match the tech specs. It is truly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXUkdrcey-w epic.]]
34* The map Greenfield City: It was first started in 2011 by a British teenager named Oskar. Although he started alone, he recruited friends and opened the server to any anybody else willing to help out. He wanted the players to feel like they are walking around a real city, so he made sure that every detail is designed carefully all down to the smallest alleyway. The city even has a fictional history, so each area has it's own style, with some sections of the city appearing to be abandoned and some are well developed. the city eventually became ''the largest city ever built in Minecraft,'' with many places that stretch on for miles when viewed from the middle.
35* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-MfrT0wvMg A BioWare dev proposes to his girlfriend, also a BioWare dev, on Minecraft.]] Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, with bonus points for it being on Valentine's Day.
36* As if the words "underwater city" weren't cool enough, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c83y8ubU0M this thing shows up...]]
37** Original video is blocked in USA. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2qUkQvMo-o Alternate link here.]]
38** Another work by the same guy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JABnWiPyV7o&feature=relmfu here.]]
39* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mDyjMNdFH4 This huge spaceship]] It was made by one guy.
40** Later, he overtopped by making a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKRLlNdt00Y much bigger ship]].
41* Work on Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt in Minecraft is currently [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0j7p4u33No underway.]]
42* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxPsrOmm4mQ Penn Station]], right down to the train terminals.
43* For the Finnish folk, Bonefoot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74gvbZqUDuo Re-created the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edAjk6L4BZM&feature=related Moominvalley]].
44* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zTtwXQ5PJM Ghibli World]] by OZ Workshop. Complete full-scale reproductions of places from the Studio Ghibli movies, including Laputa Castle In The Sky, Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Porco Rosso and more, all set to Ghibli's beautiful soundtracks.
45* To top the very first: we now have [[https://www.engadget.com/2011-07-23-mind-blowing-middle-earth-manufactured-in-minecraft.html Middle Earth]].
46** The sheer ''scale'' of the server's replication of Middle Earth is incredible. Just to give one an appreciation for how much stuff they did, the field outside of Bree has over ''twenty thousand individual wheat plants.'' When the tour guides on the video say that all the recreations of the Shire and the other villages in Eriador are nothing compared to Rivendell or Moria, they are ''not'' kidding.
47** WebVideo/JesseCox: "You guys are insane, you know that?"
48** In addition, more than half of the entire server's construction was handmade, without any tool assists.
49** One of the halls in Moria is so big that the far end literally sits outside the rendering distance for the game engine.
50** Middle Earth in general is so big that they are actually [[SerialEscalation asking Notch for more room to build stuff in because]] ''they are running out''.
51*** Jeb ''doubling'' the allowable build height from 128 to '''''256'''''. Let's hope this is enough...
52* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s82fW-jtcg&feature=related Four people made the solar system.]]
53* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1iLXNgoiGI Somebody made a giant statue of]] [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 the original Megatron.]] [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Yeeesss...]]
54* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115765-Entire-World-of-Warcraft-Gets-Recreated-in-Minecraft Someone is apparently remaking Azeroth.]]
55** On a different note, someone different is working on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VZZ7SOIxyo remaking Thunder Bluff in Minecraft.]] That video that is linked? That's only ''50% done!''
56* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCCCD1jMP0o&feature=player_embedded Pretty]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4isJyRuKtOI&feature=player_embedded much]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuEezbQ-oyM&feature=player_embedded everything]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmnoM5yoUcw&feature=player_embedded built]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua3UD7dnVN8&feature=player_embedded by]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlu2yNdjpq8&feature=player_embedded the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=colPtAFno_8&feature=player_embedded folks]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXreU595afo&feature=player_embedded at]] [[http://www.fyreuk.com/wiki/timelapses/ FyreUK]].
57* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sy9_A04_I A full scale re-creation of the entire continent of Westros from the A Song of Ice and Fire books]]
58* Someone built [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qmVC5qO014 Hogwarts.]] The attention to detail is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq6KNKdiTwg impressive.]]
59* Two Spanish [=LPers=] built (by hand) a epic monument which consisted of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8uy3us0SyA&t=9m09s a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umOrAdF3bPk massive]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D2PdpIHBfQ antenna]] made of ''villagers'' and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPFheba9hYI colossal-sized clay statue of a villager]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb3rop5hcZ4 wearing headphones and a microphone]]'', surrounded by quartz pillars and a lava pool. Yes, it's as crazy and insane as it sounds. They're now planning to build a massive rollercoaster that connects the monument with a nearby castle.
60* Someone built [[http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/fancreations/72e20iaQ-minecraft-shurima Shurima]] from Videogame/LeagueOfLegends
61* [[http://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/tech/2014/04/24/082734.htm Denmark]](Webpage in Danish) has been OFFICIALLY created in a 1:1 scale. Yes.
62* We now have the entire [[http://vujon.tumblr.com/post/79773398443/shiganshina-district-right-before-mankind-recieved Shiganshina district]] plus the head and hand of the [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Colossal Titan.]]
63* Quite possibly the most ambitious project yet, there is currently an ongoing collaborative effort to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_bW3ab8YAk create the entirety of earth in Minecraft]] on a ''1:1 Scale''.
64* For all of the ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' fans out there, there's an entire build of a realistically scaled ''Aperture Laboratories'' [[https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/entire-aperture-laboratories-semi-accurate-ish-scale/ that you can see here]]. The creator even provides coordinates for some landmarks because of just how large it is making flying, let alone walking, to various parts of it time-consuming.
65* ''[[https://buildmodeone.de/ BuildmodeOne]]'', already experienced with building hotels in Minecraft, is building the entirety of ''the Last Resort'' from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' in the vanilla game, [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3s0xUEafWiauFSKK3IhL3PvcnDRugc7o and it's looking very promising so far]], even if only floor B1, 1 and a bit of 2 is done at the time of this writing.
66* Kelanduo is known for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKJU5w3AoDk absolutely massive]] arrangements of blocks that render as incredibly detailed pieces of art when mapped out, especially renditions of WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} fanart. It gets impressive as he does larger art pieces, needing numerous maps to depict it all. His masterpiece took millions of blocks and uses loads of chunks to depict an enormous mural featuring most of the cast. He passed away in mid-May 2021, succumbing to idiopathic fibrosis, and it's undeniable that he spent his last moments showing his devotion to the things he loved.

70* Anything to do with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FVDisco FVDisco]]
71* Also shown above, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGkkyKZVzug Someone built a 16 bit computer in Minecraft, which will be able to run programs]]. We just have to wait for when people start playing Minecraft in Minecraft. [[http://minecraftforums.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45107 Considering it's already being worked on...]]
72** [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109144-Man-Uses-Kinect-to-Play-Minecraft-in-Minecraft We need to go deeper.]]
73** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgJfVRhotlQ Graphing Calculator]] with buttons and a digital display for both inputs and outputs! It does Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Log, Square, Square Root, Linear and Quadratic equation plotting, and even equation solving!
74*** Topping all this: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaWo68CWWGM The Dual Core CPU.]]
75** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4e7PjRygt0 A BASIC language interpreter.]]
76* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEPVYrltke4 The starting melody to Still Alive using note blocks.]]
77** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG9SPywEGm4 The full song]].
78** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLuqSspTPOk And "Want You Gone"]].
79* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry18oZs6AcM "This is Halloween!"]]
80* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taf2kSXWmwg U.N. Owen Was Her]] was also added. There are probably other ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' songs out there.
81* [[Music/DragonForce It]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNmzripusSc&feature=related had to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=634wERZtu9k&feature=watch_response happen eventually.]]
82* Someone made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS026GwXQ4o Paint]] program using an in-game computer.
83* It's possible to play [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQwpl7SlzvI Pong]] in Minecraft.
84** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20HQOwDCbWs this one.]] With single-player and multiplayer modes.
85* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbz9KoF_xX0 A 96-pixel tv.]]
86** The TV itself is awesome enough, but when you get to see the wiring, you can't help but gape. Seriously, it goes on for so long it's not even all rendered while you watch the TV! Think of how long it took to build that!
87* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1CddzgVW14 The Universe Death Clock.]] A Redstone mechanism designed to open a door when the universe comes to its end. Not the Minecraft universe, but '''the RealLife universe'''.
88* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nViIUfDMJg An actual Atari 2600 emulator]] (though not really playable, unfortunately).
89* It seems insane to think about, but a user named ''MrSquishyYT'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paoEeRG-j8U managed to recreate the entirety of Pokemon Red (not an emulator that runs the game, the game itself) in Vanilla Minecraft]]. That bears repeating: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis POKEMON. RED. IN. VANILLA. MINECRAFT. WITHOUT. EMULATORS.]] Unfortunately, there's no sound due to syncing issues, but it makes things no less impressive. You can download the map [[http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2803888-pokemon-red-fully-recreated-without-mods here.]]
90* [[http://kotaku.com/a-giant-mmo-made-entirely-from-minecraft-1795419945 A fully-function MMO game with maps, quests, bosses and even microtransactions]].
91* Any of the {{Humongous Mecha}}s built by [[https://www.youtube.com/c/cubehamster/featured Cubehamster]] would count, but the coolest among them are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i08J4C3PdQQ Mega Gargantua]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPbE6fnNfSA Colossus]]. Special mention also goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A7qvQSHXCA the video]] where a pair of smaller Atlas mechs blow up a defensive position near a village.
92* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfqaok4ngk0 Space-based Dragon Slayer]], a KillSat that uses very complicated redstone mechanisms and precise timing to kill the Ender Dragon with a single arrow. Aside from the sheer complexity of the build, it is gorgeous too, with the [[TechnologyPorn many elaborate moving parts]] evocative of a Swiss watch.
93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:Other Creations]]
96* Someone managed to create a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p2Gga6dIWY&NR=1 self building house]] that is capable of ''repairing itself'' using the piston mod. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGXQJJUhtY This one uses 1.7 pistons.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ajRpehkXk This luxury version uses the now-defunct piston block duplication glitch.]]
97* Someone did an [[http://vimeo.com/27854932 Indiana Jones inspired adventure map]], with hundreds if not thousands of moving parts and set pieces all with Pistons.
98* Some of the structures and contraptions made for adventure maps are just incredible.
99* Literally hundreds of mods that add new items, new contraptions, and even entire new worlds!
100* A Spanish youtuber (ElRichMC) has developed a very, very expensive Ender Crystal generator, requiring thousands and thousands of redstone blocks, pistons and other blocks. He uses pistons to push endstone into unloaded chunks, which tricks the game into generating new obsidian pillars (with Ender Crystals on top) upon loading those chunks. He then uses the large dark oak tree growth glitch (it can grow downwards from where it is planted, destroying any block under it, including bedrock) to allow him to move the Ender Crystal without it exploding. He finally transports it into the Overworld via the end portal, and at the end he has an Ender Crystal in the Overworld illuminated by pillars of light from beacons below. You can skip to the moment where he checks the result [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1AYgcl1eY&t=49m14s here]].

104* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVFTmqXFLX8 Take Discovery Channel's "The World is Awesome" campaign crossed with Minecraft.]]
105* [[http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/Halloween-minecraft-win-184617451 Cosplay.]]
106* [[http://kotaku.com/5723821/the-illustrated-guide-to-minecraft An illustrated guide to Minecraft done in the feelie style of old school games.]]
107* [[http://youtu.be/v5fS4RF3ht0 This (Fanmade) trailer]]
108** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpa0HtTTcCE&feature=relmfu This]] fanmade trailer for the End, by the same guy who made the Minecraft trailer above.
109* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxcxnKYPOc Would you kindly...]]
110* Turning the WMG of the world being that of a zombie apocalypse into a fan trailer for a fake movie? Okay, that's pretty cool. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uyxVmdaJ-w&feature=player_embedded Making that trailer into a live-action trailer with professional grade CG? Okay, now that's pretty awesome.]]
111* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-0lwkw8kwE Animating the Bad Apple shadow art video using wool and obsidian]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqwBpMTn_l0 recreating all of Gensokyo]] are by far the two most awesome attempts to combine ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' with everything.
112%% Don't replace the Bad Apple link with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4DJoJEtNU, please; that, even though it looks valid, is a well-fabricated fake.
113* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2rDbRUDkds TNT]]. It's just really cool.
114** And now, by the same person, we have "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJUBQd-PNM Revenge]]", which, if you think the fans are right, is the best thing ever.
115*** Then [=CaptainSparklez=] and [=TryHardNinja=] made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-sH53vXP2A "Fallen Kingdom"]].
116*** A fourth one, "Minecraft Style", was ScrewedByTheLawyers: the record labels who owned the original song (PSY's "Gangnam Style") and the video for it claimed "copyright infringement" on it, and as a result the original was blocked from Website/YouTube (''twice'', and the second one may stick for a while). Yes, as if a shot-for-shot ''parody'' done in a ''completely different artistic style'' and featuring ''completely different lyrics'' constitutes infringement and does any actual harm to the original work. (The original maker has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b84Z3IRg3VA re-upped the video]] to his channel; if that doesn't work, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p55jwAwwzw here's a re-up]] by another user.)
117*** There's a new video called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwwl9jiJ1A4 Take back The Night]]. It's a sequel to Fallen Kingdom, and it lives up to the standard made by the previous videos. That's rather impressive, considering the fact that it's an original song, unlike the previous ones which were parodies. (This is due to the makers fearing that their future videos would be subjected to copyright infringement after what happened to Minecraft Style.)
118*** [=CaptainSparklez=] is not done yet. After 18 months of waiting, the third song in the installment, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyu7-Jcyl_8 "Find the Pieces"]] is out, this time including a LOT of foreshadowing for an even greater sequel!
119*** The final video of the Fallen Kingdom videos, again with an original song, has finally been made: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07rtl-zcQhg Dragonhearted]]! Highlights include the FinalBattle: the King who lost his kingdom to Herobrine using a scepter to command the ''[[FinalBoss Ender Dragon]]'' to fight back against an invasion from the Nether. This leads to a BehemothBattle between the Ender Dragon and the Zombie Pigmen's Nether Star powered HumongousMecha while the Prince fights The DragonInChief and kills him by impaling him and [[DisneyVillainDeath sending him plummeting into a bit of flaming rubble]]. After the mecha is crippled, it attempts to fire its Nether Star core as a FantasticNuke, but the Prince jumps on it and leads it back through the Nether Portal to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard kill the Pigman King]] and defeat them, [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own life.]]
120** Other users have started creating Minecraft parodies. Two that have received a lot of accord are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_XGxzMrq04 "Don't Mine at Night"]] by [=BebopVox=] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvpC-pXBIjo "The Miner"]] by Ant Venom (which has already taken the top spot on at least one "Top Minecraft Songs" list).
121*** Don't Mine at Night got its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_TMtgjQuZI parody]] by [[WebAnimation/ButtonsAdventures Jan Anamations]].
122* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kurtjmac?feature=watch#p/c/88E090CABA34B14B Far Lands Or Bust]] itself. For those who don't know, kurtjmac is walking to the Far Lands (he's using Beta 1.7.3 for FLOB, though he has used later versions for other things) without mods [[note]]He does use texture packs, and a fan has made a FLOB texture pack that he uses now.[[/note]] or cheats. The series started in March 2011, and as of March 2021 he has walked over 4,856,980 blocks west[[note]]Actually south, since that's where the Sun sets in the betas, but as far as he's concerned, it's west[[/note]] in 816 episodes, counting multiple marathon livestreams. It also doubles as heartwarming once you consider he's doing it for charity.
123** It's not the MOST popular series, but even reaching Cult classic status with something that literally consists of him walking in a straight line is pretty awesome.
124* To celebrate a page view milestone of Blog/EquestriaDaily, somebody created [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Subwolfers#p/a/u/0/90P2SiBoEF0 this]].
125* To fans of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', a bunch of people apparently threw a Hunger Games style tournament.
126** There are actually around 20 Hunger Games servers.
127* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si_5mY8akr0 The Mob Rap.]] Basically, a bunch of mobs get together to rap.
128** And now we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iJX21-GJnE the sequel]]. Among the new guys are the Enderdragon (who has an Irish accent), the Blaze, the Iron Golem, and Herobrine, who sings his verse.
129** There's ''five'' altogether now. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44yNM4R0qVg Here's a compilation video of all of them.]]
130** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsW-K5H5hbg The sixth one is confirmed to be the finale]], but what a finale it is! ''The Ghast finally gets his own verse.'' And when the others try to cut him off by stopping the music, ''he keeps rapping a capella.'' It took six videos for him to get the opportunity, but seeing him thoroughly shut down every mob that dissed him in previous videos makes it worth the wait.
131* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDcYnAzwV0E A massive TNT cannon]] made as a send-off to 1.2.5.
132* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK9W0BjdB38&feature=g-all-lgv Minecraft is just awesome.]]
133* The new Wither boss is a three-headed, flying, skeletal abomination that sucks life from any living being and breaks any block it comes into contact with.
