There is so much that can be done inMinecraftthat it feels as though its legacy will continue forever. Despite the fact that it first made an appearance in 2009, with a full release in 2011, it has still beenone of the most played video games of this year. This longevity can be attributed to the millions of players that do so many creative things in a variety of ways. Often, such projects seek to bring in aspects from other gaming franchises, even if the result is a bit creepy.
That’s precisely what YouTuber halvetone has done. In a recent video, they’ve managed to turn the mobs ofMinecraftinto the characters from the horror gamePoppy Playtime. Over the course of eight minutes and through a rapid succession of jump cuts, viewers get to see them taking the animals and other creatures from Mojang’s IP and turning them into some of the nightmarish, but also adorable, characters from the spooky indie title. Daddy Long Legs, Cat Bee, Kissy Missy and, of course, Huggy Wuggy are all featured, with the latter taking the place of the Iron Golem. It should be noted that these are technically remakes of transformations that halvetone has already done. This newest version is forMinecraft’s recent 1.19 update.
