World’s Biggest Rubik’s Cube — Transcript

Nooba builds the world's largest Rubik's Cube in Minecraft, overcoming challenges with command blocks and mods to make it functional.

Key Takeaways

  • Scaling up a design requires creative use of tools like World Edit.
  • Minecraft command blocks have limitations for complex rotations.
  • Mods can extend Minecraft’s functionality to achieve custom mechanics.
  • Combining building and coding can create impressive interactive projects.
  • Persistence and problem-solving are key in complex Minecraft builds.

Summary

  • Nooba created the world's largest Rubik's Cube starting from a hand-made regular-sized one.
  • He scaled up the cube using World Edit to create a massive floating colored cube.
  • Added a podium with particles to simulate hovering and rounded the colored parts for aesthetics.
  • Included the Rubik's logo in the center to enhance the design.
  • Initial attempts to rotate sections using command blocks failed due to rotation limitations.
  • Installed a special mod that allows using World Edit commands in command blocks.
  • This mod enabled rotating sections of the cube when buttons are pressed, making it functional.
  • The project combined creative building, coding, and modding within Minecraft.
  • Demonstrates problem-solving when default game mechanics are insufficient.

I made the world's largest Rubik's Cube.
00:02
Speaker A
And it worked, but it was way harder than it looks to make.
00:05
Speaker A
I started with making a regular sized one by hand, then scaling it up with world edit to be massive, which turned into this floating colored cube thing.

Speaker A
So to make it look better, I put it on a podium under it with particles on top that make it look like it's hovering, then rounded all the colored parts and added the Rubik's logo in the middle, which is really cool.
00:22
Speaker A
But it doesn't actually work.
00:24
Speaker A
At first, I tried using command blocks to code it, and I mean, you can move sections around with them, but it turns out you can't actually rotate anything.
00:32
Speaker A
See the problem there?
00:33
Speaker A
So to be able to rotate sections like a Rubik's Cube, I installed this special mod that lets you use World Edit in command blocks for each section that rotates it when you hit the button.
00:42
Speaker A
Voila.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did Nooba make the Rubik's Cube hover?

Nooba placed the cube on a podium and added particles on top to create the effect of hovering.

Why couldn't Nooba rotate the cube sections using command blocks alone?

Command blocks allow moving sections but cannot perform the necessary rotations for a Rubik's Cube, so rotation wasn't possible without a mod.

What solution did Nooba use to enable rotating the cube sections?

Nooba installed a special mod that lets World Edit commands be used inside command blocks, enabling rotation of each section when buttons are pressed.
