You think you've seen it all and then there's a Wayland Compositor inside Minecraft on Linux (www.gamingonlinux.com)

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.

Can I craft this in survival?

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 2 points 40 minutes ago

I think is some kind of mod

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

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

IT-Support: "You, did what?"

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

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

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 4 hours ago

Usually no but for you specifically it does

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

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

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

Oh, it's just a mod? I was hoping they built it with redstone. Still very cool, just not as impressive.

"do you use KDE or Gnome?"

"Minecraft"

[–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 41 points 5 hours ago

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

That’s good but, can it run DOOM ?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 21 minutes ago

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