This ingenious Redstone contraption is a completely randomized maze that changes as the player traverses through it!

As seen in this Reddit post by the creator, mad_hmpf, as players walk through the maze, walls will rise and drop, possibly disorienting them. The most wonderful part about this maze is that it is completely random, meaning no two people will get the same maze!

The weird-looking contraption shown above is actually a conveyor belt for blocks!

If players place a block on top of the Block of Iron, it will rapidly move at a speed of 14 blocks per second to the end of the contraption. 14 blocks per second is insane to think about!

Shown in action here, this incredible machine works by launching Minecarts into the air using slime blocks. Of course, that is incredibly simplified and there is some other magic involved!

Here is a gallery of images of this contraption!

Players should try imagining slowly circling around the house above in a cinematic fashion.

This can be done using command blocks. By setting multiple move points and a block to focus the camera on, the player will slowly move around the house while looking at it, providing a cinematic shot.
