Reddit recently💛 wrappe🔜d its mural, an annual tradition that allows users to place a single tile on an enormous canvas. After placing that tile, a user gets locked out of the system for a set amount of time, making the whole thing a giant crowdsourced pixel image. Various subreddits often band together to stake a claim in r/place to ensure they’re represented in the final mural.
The end result is . Some images bleed into others, but by and large, it’s a 🥀collection of tiny images that all make up Reddit as a social space.
And now you can explore that social space in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Minecraft thanks to Reddit user NickG365. Using arcane technologies that go far beyond my knowledge, Nick was able to take the r/place data and translate each placed tile into a voxel in Minecraft. It was all done automatically, so ﷽this isn’t just a pet project where Nick watches r/place and slaps down billions of voxels by hand.
There are also two versions of the r/place mural in Minecraft. First, that basically transposes the final mural into Minecraft, and where each placed tile actually builds on the previously placed tile. In this way, you can see which parts of the mural were contested between subꦇreddits. The larger the spike, the more that par🐬t of the mural changed over time.
Nick performed a similar feat five years ago (he’s fine now!). Coming back to the project now, Nick found r/place had become “very diff♊erent from a pro⛎gramming perspective--nothing is the same as before.” And even as he finished typing, r/place added several new colors and doubled its canvas, making the final project all the more difficult.
But Nick eventually succeeded, a𝓰nd you can view the finished product over at play.pickaxis.com.
