Katamari Damacy Rolls Up Minecraft

The Prince of All Cosmos could totally take on a Creeper.

playing Minecraft while they Minecraft [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/tag/minecraft?from_search=1].

One such mod, "Kataminey Damacraft [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/403141-166-kataminey-damacraft-more-destructive-than-mads/]," turns the dig-craft-build world of Minecraft into the roll-up-everything-into-a-ball world of Katamari Damacy. It's obviously just a hack, but there's still something strangely therapeutic about creating a giant ball made from the scenery around you.

While it's undeniably a fun-looking mod, I can't help but feel that it almost feels a bit pointless in Minecraft. Part of the fun of Katamari is getting big enough to roll up objects that were previously complete obstacles, and wobbling lopsidedly through the scenery. In Minecraft, every cube is the same size, so there's not as much a sense of progression from "rolling up paperclips" to "rolling up skyscrapers."

Ah well, it's still pretty neat, all quibbling aside.

here [http://www.batcountryentertainment.com/] showing off several of the improvements they've made since the first video (seen here). I would have embedded that video instead, except it doesn't use the "Katamari on the Rocks" main theme, so it can bite me.

Pick up Kataminey Damacraft here [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/403141-166-kataminey-damacraft-more-destructive-than-mads/].

(Thanks for the tip, Bitter_one13!)

My god this seems awesome, just to build a big town then harass it with ma ball. Got to try it!

The hit detection still seems a bit clunky but I guess that is something to be fix in the future.
