Minecraft fan creates fascinating animation of a walking redstone T-Rex

Minecraft fans are stunned by u/MythicalPingu’s new redstone T-Rex animation. The game’s community is known to have many animators who create impressive pieces of art, and this recent post is another such instance. The Minecraft video posted on the game's subreddit is 1:20 minutes long, and features a T-Rex built entirely using redstone components and a few other blocks.

What breathes further life into this creation is that the T-Rex not only walks but also dispenses TNT, as it moves.

The responses to this comment took a humorous turn, with another user suggesting they start by opening Blender, a 3D animation software. Following it was a bunch of increasingly funny steps, including “Step 2: delete default cube”, “Step 3: Donut”, “Step 4:???” and so on.

User u/JuhpPug commented that the T-Rex reminded them of the Thunderjaw from the game Horizon Zero Dawn. The Thunderjaw is an iconic robotic dinosaur from the Horizon franchise, known for its intricate design and menacing presence. That said, the OP replied that they hadn't heard of the game before.
