"I use minecraft, btw" was in the comments of the demo video. Had a giggle.
if a creeper blows up and kills me while using it, does it crash all my running programs?
Usually no but for you specifically it does
Steve Panic!
Please respawn your Steve
Fatal exception in interrupt
"...And then I hit my wood 6 times on the Filemanager which crashes immediately into pieces."
IT-Support: "You, did what?"
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
Oh, it's just a mod? I was hoping they built it with redstone.
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
inb4 someone does this to end up saying minecraft is the perfect sandboxing program there is.
That’s good but, can it run DOOM ?
I'm sure it can though someone should try to play Morrowind inside Fallout 4's Pipboy too.
Put VR on and there you go:
They built Zuck's metaverse but made it more fun and without burning billions of dollars.
And characters come with legs by default.
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.
Like the Futurama episodes when they go into the internet
Gives "now go to the file manager" a whole new meaning.
Doesn't have multiplayer support? Throw it away and make an X11 implementation instead. (/s)
Ssh into the Minecraft server from inside the Minecraft server
Steam Frame just destroyed Apple Vision Pro
Can I craft this in survival?
I think is some kind of mod
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...
That's actually kind of insane
