While many in the Minecraft community are passionate about the gameplay, others delve into the depths of development and coding, designing external modifications for the game like mods, texture packs, resource packs, shaders, maps, and plugins.

Resource packs in particular make many entities in the game look and behave differently, and thus fall under the umbrella of customization and personalization. One popular modification for the game is the MineBricks resource pack.

The MineBricks resource pack essentially turns the game into a Lego-based version of the game. Instead of the usual blocks, the entire in-game world displays the look of a Lego set, and is made up of plastic lego pieces or “bricks”.

While the resource pack is not an official addiction or asset by Mojang, it is quite detailed and contains “Lego” textures for most of the game’s blocks. Players can witness grass blocks as actual lego pieces, along with “plastic” flowers, creepers and even weirdly flowing lava lego pieces.
