I coded an impossible maze into Minecraft!
00:03
Speaker A
Starting by generating a few thousand chunks in this super flat world.
00:07
Speaker A
To be able to make the maze fit this entire area, I generated the largest one I could on a maze generator website.
00:11
Speaker A
Then I converted that maze image into blocks, but the problem was it turned out really flat.
00:16
Speaker A
So to make it taller, I copied and pasted it until it was just under the build limit.
00:19
Speaker A
I shaded it into a rough stone texture and added moss spots to make it look really old.
00:23
Speaker A
But I want you to have a little bit of hope while you're playing, so I added a bunch of vines around the moss to let you climb up the walls.
00:29
Speaker A
When you try to escape by going up, I made sure to cut off the vines right before they reach the top.
00:35
Speaker A
In case you try to find the exit on the ground, I set the time to always be night and mutated all the mobs that spawn to make them basically impossible to kill.
00:43
Speaker A
Even if you're the best Minecraft speedrunner and run through the maze on the perfect path, it would still take 10 hours to get through.
00:50
Speaker A
Have fun!

Frequently Asked Questions

How was the impossible maze made to be tall in Minecraft?

The maze was initially generated as a flat image and then converted into blocks. To make it taller, the creator copied and pasted the flat maze until it reached just under the Minecraft build limit.

What features were added to give players a false sense of hope while playing the maze?

The creator added vines around the moss spots on the maze walls, allowing players to climb. However, these vines were intentionally cut off right before reaching the top, preventing escape by climbing.

What challenges were implemented to prevent players from escaping the maze on the ground?

To prevent ground escape, the time was set to always be night, and all spawning mobs were mutated to be nearly impossible to kill. Additionally, even a perfect speedrun through the maze would take 10 hours.
