One ambitious Minecraft player is aiming to build a working port of Pokemon Red into the game.

Reddit user Magib1 is using command blocks to build a working port of Pokemon Red, which will be playable on a massive 10×9 block representation of a Game Boy.

Magib1's been working on it for months, but it's such a complex project that it will be a while yet before it's ready.

Apparently there's "a physical representation of the map... in spawn chunks in which each block corresponds with a texture".

"When the player clicks, a reader armour stand moves and clones the row of new textures behind the display," Magib1 continues.

"Display armour stands then detect the block type and stick the corresponding texture on their head before moving. The player model is just swapping between a static walking and standing texture."

It won't be long before people run out of cool stuff to build in Minecraft.

Fortunately, Telltale's Story Mode spinoff should keep us busy while we think of new projects.
