A developer going by "EVVIE" managed to combine the worlds of Linux and Minecraft, to enable you to pull up all sorts of Linux desktop windows directly inside Minecraft. Sure does look cool, a bit like running a desktop inside a VR headset like the draft code for the full VR mode for KDE Plasma written about here before on GamingOnLinux.

They built Zuck's metaverse but made it more fun and without burning billions of dollars.

And characters come with legs by default.

Damn, finally a good demo of what I suggested around 2010 for monitoring multiple displays in 3D - instead of moving 2D windows around all the time and forgetting which part of the screen you put them...

I...I really kind of want this now. Like an honest to bob, turn the comp on and load in to MC running this. I want to walk to browser icon. I want to build a house besides my file explorer. To have a "physical" 3d location for everything in the world and being able to visit your photos, or fly by your games library. Super cool!

That actually sounds amazing. I want that so much.

"do you use KDE or Gnome?"

"Minecraft"

[–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 53 points 1 day ago

"I use minecraft, btw" was in the comments of the demo video. Had a giggle.

"...And then I hit my wood 6 times on the Filemanager which crashes immediately into pieces."

if a creeper blows up and kills me while using it, does it crash all my running programs?

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 day ago

Usually no but for you specifically it does

Ssh into the Minecraft server from inside the Minecraft server

I saw the reddit thread the modder made, they said they ran Minecraft within Minecraft within Minecraft using this. Ingeniously absurd, I'm all for it

Put VR on and there you go:

[–] hendu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, it's just a mod? I was hoping they built it with redstone.

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago

I don't think it would be possible to actually have a wayland compositor actually interface with the kernel and programs without some kind of mod

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

inb4 someone does this to end up saying minecraft is the perfect sandboxing program there is.

[–] M33@piefed.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That’s good but, can it run DOOM ?

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)
[–] M33@piefed.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Aaaah the famous CPU built inside Minecraft 😊

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 16 hours ago

There's it is.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 1 day ago

I'm sure it can though someone should try to play Morrowind inside Fallout 4's Pipboy too.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago

Doesn't have multiplayer support? Throw it away and make an X11 implementation instead. (/s)

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Gives "now go to the file manager" a whole new meaning.

[–] apftwb@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can I craft this in survival?

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I think is some kind of mod

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Steam Frame just destroyed Apple Vision Pro

[–] starblursd@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

That's actually kind of insane
