Playing Minecraft in real life

[@A.Mere.Creator]

never seen Minecraft sponsor anyone, way to go!

[@HomeMadeModern]

they have been pretty great to work with so far and I am in London for a Minecraft event as I write this.

[@MattTester]

A great sponsor for inspiration. Now using this as a base, you could also take the idea of redstone blocks that conduct 'power' in the game and use that with recycled glass, bottles or the glass blocks you've used before to create modular lighting.

[@HomeMadeModern]

yes! I was thinking of trying to mix in a. bunch of metal filing from our metal shop to see if I could make a concrete that conducts electricity or at least rusts red

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I absolutely love this. A rammed earth blocks! My very favorite building system.

[@HomeMadeModern]

thank you!

Holy Smokes Ben!!! First I was like man oh man the green brick is cool, then I was like the wood one is coolest, & then boom shacka lacka the planter & watering brick took the cake!! This was so fun to watch Bud. Hoping you have a Blessed Independence Day, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@russellsmith8609]

The radiant heat from the blocks will create a micro climate for the plants, allowing them to survive the cold nights and extend your growing season into cooler months, cheers.

[@Andrew110]

Now that's just cold..

I truly believe that Microsoft should make a Minecraft based CAD program. Minecraft inspires so many aspiring architects and designers-including myself. It’s a platform we are all familiar with, and comfortable using.

[@Thylamis]

You have some grass around, could try to dabble in some adobe bricks, depending on the clay %

[@DanteYewToob]

Maybe in the future you can make a few more metal molds and mark a line on the inside so you can make more consistent blocks. This is definitely a cool technique and it’s really cool to use your local resources!

[@Chareads]

So many cool experiments! I hope you keep iterating on this.

I have some tempered glass i collected almost two years ago and now i'm wondering if i should mix it with cement and make sparkly glittering pavers for my garden! :o Thanks for the cool idea!

[@dglatinx1]

The block with broken glass is a classic in Mexico

[@HomeMadeModern]

Yes, have seen it all over South America

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. But I thought the block dimensions were 1x1x1 meter. Man, that would be a lot of concrete!

[@lovelifedrawing]

This was fun!

[@tyrelirwin]

This is so chill. Love it!

[@HomeMadeModern]

thank you!

[@metabeard3788]

I think the cubes in Minecraft are supposed to represent 1 cubic meter, but that probably would've been pretty hard to move around, haha

[@mudjonns]

Wow sponsored by Minecraft. Congrats man!

[@kevinlucow2291]

I'm commenting to boost engagement!

[@samsaraAI2025]

Minecraft blocks are 1meter x 1 meter x 1 meter :)

[@HomeMadeModern]

correct but I an not as strong as my Minecraft avatar and they would weigh over 2800lbs

[@samsaraAI2025]

@@HomeMadeModern of course! I was joking ;)

[@doubledarefan]

@@HomeMadeModern Make them 1 decimeter on a side, then they can be stacked together to make 1m cubes, and due to natural color variation, would look just like the blocks in the game. Make 1m x 1dm x 1dm beams to use on the second-to-top course, so the 1m cubes can be left mostly hollow, saving labor and materials.

[@Ebolachicken]

i love this idea

[@TMM6900]

wow, ultra ultra realistic 4k x 4k resource pack

[@MaggieDozer]

Audrey: They didn't use mud, they used sod, Dad. Clark: Right, Audrey, and when they ran out of sod, they used mud. Ellen: Clark, let's just skip the House of Mud.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Super cool. ❤❤❤

[@ddutton0]

Super cool 😊

[@gaffyh1745]

Wait, no one noticed that Ben didn't say Bye at the end of the video, is this a first??

[@HomeMadeModern]

oops!

[@Mikemk_]

8:06 you need a diamond shovel dude. 5 minutes a brick is slow/s

[@MidnightWildspirit]

Bethesda could learn a thing or two by watch Your Videos, No Body likes rusty metal. 😁

[@GJRandom]

Thank you so much

4:18 sorry man, but your wheelbarrow really sucks.

[@lasseheims3117]

How are you acting like this is sustainable when you are taking *steel* to produce these molds that took way more greenhouse gases and resources to produce? Don't get me wrong, I like your channel, and you're super creative, but don't use the "sustainability" narrative when this is clearly not sustainable mi amore

[@doggygaming950]

It's a concept. The steel could be reused to the point its impact is insignificant.

[@schroederb2007]

channeling your inner @primitivetechnology9550

[@HomeMadeModern]

love that channel
