You’ve Heard of DOOM In Minecraft—Now There’s Minecraft in DOOM

by

A passionate video game enthusiast has successfully built Minecraft within the iconic first-person shooter (FPS) game, Doom. It’s not uncommon to witness remarkable replicas in Minecraft, as Mojang’s title often stimulates immense creativity in players—but what’s unusual is seeing it done in reverse.

Players’ imagination in Minecraft stretches beyond bounds. Since it burst onto the video game scene, Mojang’s widely acclaimed sandbox game has served as a platform for players to realize their grandest construction dreams. Over time, numerous remarkable structures and modifications have been presented by Minecraft players on social media, with some even managing to get Doom to run within Minecraft. This was accomplished without using any mods at all – an impressive feat that allowed Doom to run at just one-fifth of its usual speed. However, a player has now managed to do the reverse, integrating Minecraft into id Software’s legendary first-person shooter series.

Modder Recreates Minecraft in Classic Doom

On Reddit, a user named how_do_i_type posted a brief video demonstrating an ongoing mod project that merges the feel of Minecraft with the atmosphere of classic Doom. At first glance, it’s hard to distinguish the game as actually Doom, since the graphics resemble those of Minecraft; however, as the player navigates through the level, it becomes evident they are in id Software’s FPS, as they encounter one of Doom’s iconic demons using a sword that is characteristic of Minecraft.

The user confessed that their current work on the game was merely experimentation, unsure if it would ever evolve into a complete Doom mod. They also disclosed that this Minecraft-inspired mod was developed using GZDoom, implying that even upon completion, it wouldn’t be officially released for other platforms. GZDoom simplifies the process of modifying Doom, as it incorporates numerous user-friendly features.

Despite the mod being under development, it has garnered high praise from numerous players, some of whom initially found it hard to believe that it was actually Doom instead of Minecraft. The enduring popularity of Doom has inspired developers to port the game onto a variety of unconventional platforms. Remarkable places where Doom has been played include titles like The Outer Wilds, an iPod Classic, a parking kiosk, and even a microwave. As players continue to innovate using both Minecraft and Doom, their ingenuity and dedication are demonstrated through these two renowned video games.
