Since Minecraft is a sandbox game, it allows players to let their imagination fly and create or re-create anything they want. With thousands of mods and software that enhance the game's capabilities even further, individuals have forged some of the most stunning creations.
Recently, a Redditor named 'u/asdx09' posted a breathtaking picture of two fighter jets fighting each other while flying past a massive snowy mountain. The image was inspired by the 2022 movie 'Top Gun: Maverick,' which featured a thrilling dogfight scene.
The sheer size of the mountain was mesmerizing, and the fight between the two jets was extremely accurate. Even the missile that was heading towards the jet had a red streak and smoke trail. This shows how much effort the original poster put into re-creating the shot. Even though the Redditor made it with Blender and WorldPainter, the level of skill required to create this scene was highly commended by fans.

The original poster mentioned that they made the recreation with the help of Blender and a tool called WorldPainter. This sparked a massive debate among Redditors on whether it could be considered a Minecraft creation or not.
Many called the original poster a cheater for using third-party tools to create the scene, while others countered and explained how difficult it is to operate WorldPainter and Blender at such a high level. Even though the final result was technically made with the help of the sandbox game, the debate continued on the thread.
