Since the Minecraft community is huge, several players constantly urge their friends and other acquaintances to play the popular sandbox title. This story is somewhat similar, where a son gradually got his father to play the game. However, the highlight came less than 48 hours ago, when the latter thanked the former by creating a redstone contraption and wishing him a happy birthday.

The father, bearing the Reddit username of u/WarWren158, posted a video where he showcased the redstone contraption and how it worked. In the caption, he mentioned that it was his son's 12th birthday.

The entire circuitry came to life when the player flicked a lever. There was a huge wall of gravel blocks that gradually came down, revealing the configuration of redstone lamps that read "Ben Happy Birthday."

Once the curtain of gravel blocks dropped, loads of fireworks started shooting automatically from two sides and also had the creeper head firework star.
