There are few games that allow the freedom to make one’s ideas into reality to the extent thatMinecraftdoes. This quaint and charming sandbox may seem simple at first glance, but the strong gameplay foundation that the voxel giant was created on has allowedMinecraft’slongevityto turn it into one of the top-selling video games of all time.
The randomly generated worlds ofMinecraftare fraught with danger, and though the game has a less varied bestiary compared toTerraria, almost every single one ofMinecraft’shostile enemies, from the creepers to the Ender Dragon, are iconic. While keeping domesticated creatures as pets near one’s house inMinecraftis supported by the game, keeping the monsters that plague the wilderness has generally been considered an unfeasible or ill-advised notion until now.

Thanks to the ingenuity of a cleverMinecraftplayer, there is an easy method to keep a vast menagerie ofMinecraft’senemies on display and safely locked behind glass. The player named manimanito100 shared how to create this simple creature display withMinecraft’sReddit community, and the design’s true strength is how utilitarian it is without losing a dash of style.
With some spruce stairs, spruce slabs, and a wall of glass applied through Redstone, players can keepMinecraft’screeperswithin the confines of their home without worry that the house might get blown up in an unfortunate accident. The genius of using glass walls is that they don’t count as a full block, so the enemies trapped inside cannot die from suffocation damage.
Apart from using glass for the front wall, the display can be decorated in any way – such as the cyan carpets shown in the example video. For players who want to add a bit of a personal touch to the design, they can swap out spruce for any other type of wood such as the beautiful acacia trees found inMinecraft’ssavannah biomes.
For those not satisfied with the default blocks and want something more elaborate, oneMinecraftmodder is adding over a thousand blocksto the game, which will considerably help beginner players and veterans alike in decorating the interiors of their home. With the way Mojang is expanding upon the game in recent years through Caves and Cliffs or The Wild (releasing on June 7th), one has to wonder if an officialMinecraftupdate centered around furniture and housing is coming in the near future.
Minecraftis available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
