In a game where you can build nearly anything, one 18-year-old spent two months building and sharing the whole observable universe.
Christopher Slayton, 18, is a long-time aficionado of Minecraft, a game that allows people to create castles, cliffs and other objects using old-school blocks. But Slayton supersized the effort.
He built black holes, stars and galaxies using his desktop computer and shared the epic results on YouTube and in the Minecraft Reddit community earlier this month, swiftly going viral in the process.
The family-friendly Minecraft is not a traditional space game in any sense, but the mods Slayton implemented and shared on Patreon appear to place it among the best space exploration games out there.
"What am I doing with my life?" Slayton said in the YouTube video, which is now pulling close to a million views. "I've been sitting in this tiny, sweaty room for eight hours trying to build the curve on a black hole."
