Fan Builds Minecraft Piston Out Of Lego

Minecraft is a sandbox gaming game that lets you create amazing objects to show off to your friends. Lego is a tangible toy in which you invest enormous amounts of money to make something once, and then display it for a lifetime, cementing your love of whatever it is you built. Ultimately, the two have creativity in common, so it's no surprise that the two worlds frequently meet.

This can lead to a number of amazing things, including this amazing zombie design by Cirelectric on Reddit. The zombies look adorable with their smoothed-out bodies even though they are still hunting brains. This also means that people will go out of their way in real life to create amazing things, like this Minecraft piston from RJMBricks.

YouTuber RJMBricks specializes in Lego builds. He has developed an earthquake simulator as well as a driving sim. They've now built an operational Minecraft piston. The amount of bricks, design, and effort that went into this is staggering. RJMBricks utilizes different colors to match the game version. This makes the textures look right.

It's fascinating to see how it works. RJMBricks had to figure out how to make the piston move. The design challenge caused problems with Lego pieces actually warping due to the sheer weight of the components.

The video has been a hit, too. RJMBricks revealed that they had 38.875 subscribers at the time the video was released on April 24. The video has been seen more than 2.2 million times and the channel has almost doubled in subscribers to 94.8k at the date of writing. It's always satisfying to see hard work rewarded.

If you're more intrigued by things that are being created in Minecraft than the other way around, then you should check out one YouTuber's Pac-Man minigame. It's certainly spooky.
