Every day on the Minecraft Reddit page, people worldwide post all kinds of content related to the popular sandbox game. The page houses stunning builds, funny videos, and photos. It is a great community for anyone interested in the game or for those who play it extensively.

Recently, a Redditor named 'u/k__z' posted their own photo from 2010, alongside the iconic burning skull painting they created for Minecraft. The artist recently found this photo and decided to post it on the Reddit page.

In the photo, he can be seen standing beside the painting, which looks a lot higher in quality than the game's version. This can be due to the pixelated graphics of the game itself. The painting is of a huge skull burning with small flames around it and a full moon emerging from the sky behind it.
