MineCraft Player Destroys Giant Monster With Lava and Chickens
Rube Goldberg meets MineCraft, and all in the service of a very big boom.
Plenty of videogames have explosions, but after the twentieth grenade detonation or hundredth barrel conflagration, things can start to get a little stale.
A MineCraft player has gotten around this problem, however, by building not only a colossal explosion, but a wonderfully elaborate trigger mechanism to give the whole thing that extra bit of spice.
YouTube user, "danielplaysminecraft [http://www.youtube.com/user/danielplaysminecraft]" built a replica of a Creeper - one of the game's roving monsters - and then built the means to destroy it in a Rube Goldberg style. First, Daniel hits a switch, which releases a torrent of water, which flows through the glass pipes. The water then moves the rowboat which trips a row of switches and activates the lava, and so on and so on. It's much easier to watch than it is to describe, and it features a TNT catapult and several chickens.
It's impressive enough to watch for the layperson, but I imagine that it's even more interesting for expert MineCraft players who know what's going on and how everything works. Daniel is also offering the save file for the machine here [http://www.mediafire.com/?2tp1dl6vvzdrw2a], so people can explore and tinker with the machine.
