The official Minecraft Reddit page is a bustling place where millions of players socialize. From stunning builds to in-depth debates about the game, all kinds of content are posted on this page.

Recently, a Minecraft Redditor with the username 'u/Setryyk' showcased a replica of the Windows XP OS's "Bliss" wallpaper that they recreated in the game. They made the frame look exactly like the iconic wallpaper by using grass blocks to create a custom plains biome with a very slightly hilly area on the left.

The player also chose the time of day and weather in such a way that there was a blue sky with no sun and very few clouds.

The Redditor then used some tweaks and shaders to enhance the look of the world and make the grass blocks completely green so that no brown part of the dirt is visible.

Even though the picture cannot be accurately recreated due to the blocks available in the game, u/Setryyk tried their best and came up with a close replica.
