Minecraft Player Creates Playable In-Game Minesweeper Using Redstone

Minecraft modder built a playable in-game Minesweeper using only Redstone. Several players have been building playable versions of popular games like Geometry Dash, Tetris, and Wordle.

Minesweeper on Minecraft Made Possibly by Redstone

Minesweeper is one of the popular built-in games created by Microsoft for the Windows Entertainment Pack. The game was first released in 1990 and has been part of the operating systems until Windows 8.

Although the game was removed, it was then published for free on the Microsoft Store wherein PC users can just install it on their own. The game has been challenging human minds for decades.

Now available on Minecraft, the game was made possible by Reddit user mattbatwings2. The OP uploaded a video detailing how he created the game.

The OP started with redstone lamp displays with numbers and other signs for suspicious tiles. He also made a redstone circuit with sending commands and solutions for players to interact with the tiles.

Popular Games on Minecraft World

Rebuilding popular games is one of the most challenging ways to create on Minecraft. As for mattbatwings2, he already has a reputation for creating playable builds such as Snake, Flappy Bird, Atari's Breakout, and even MS Paint.

The OP's building skill is not only limited to designing the games but also having a knack for programming. The modder created a Python script to convert the board from the Minesweeper Online website into Minecraft.

It seems that Minecraft will continue to be popular, so long as modders are challenged and allowed to do impressive things on the platform. Other gamers could either be inspired or be encouraged to play the game due to these mods.
