Even though it has a very blocky and unrealistic look, and the rules of gravity don’t quite apply to the world,Minecraftis not what one would call a “trippy” title. There are some prettyweird or mind-bending video gamesout there which make Mojang’s open-world sandbox IP look positively down-to-earth by comparison. That being said, the near-infinite number of things that can be created in the game means that it is entirely possible for someone to come along and really blow people’s minds.
Reddit user FoxCuddles is an example of aMinecraftplayer who has the potential to mess with the perception of reality. In a recent clip, they can be seen moving about a small, bland room that contains some greenery in the corner. However, things soon change and the room suddenly becomes this vast space which seems to stretch on for all eternity. Essentially, what the player has done is turn this small and empty room into a hall of infinite mirrors, and it’s quite a sight to behold. When they go into third-person view, their avatar can be seen repeated forever in this deceptive cube.

Moving out of the room, it can be seen that it was a finite interior, and the infinite mirror look is just an illusion. They were able to accomplish this by usingMinecraftwith ray tracing capabilities. Using an RTX graphics card, in FoxCuddles case a 3070, the lighting is vastly improved in the game, putting it almost in the same league as more realistic AAA games. It’s also quite impressive that the user was able to capture this footage without a loss in performance or framerates.
Many in the comments have said that it reminds them of theindie horror gameThe Backrooms. For those who don’t know,The Backroomsis based off a Creepypasta, and takes place inside a series of yellow rooms and corridors. Encompassing a seemingly infinite amount of space, it tasks players with trying to make as much progress as they can while potentially running into a mysterious being. TheMinecraftmirror room does have that infinity look to it, but some may see it more like a carnival mirror instead. Whatever the case, it’s pretty mind-bending.
There are so many things to do inMinecraftin general. It’s pretty much the perfectgame for lovers of architecture, and the community is awash with talented individuals who can make all sorts of fascinating redstone contraptions. Seldom is the game used to create something almost psychedelic, but it really emphasizes just what can be done in Mojang’s astoundingly successful release.
Minecraftis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
