Minecraft player recreates The Truman Show experiment with villagers

Minecraft is a sandbox game that allows players to create truly astonishing things, from large structures and cities from both fiction and reality to complicated machines and computers that actually work. There is no shortage of brilliant creations in the game and it seems that a new build has been added to the list, albeit it might be a little twisted.

A Minecraft player and Reddit user named ItsJW531 shared a short video clip on the game’s subreddit showing an impressive yet kind of disturbing build. The video shows the player using a secret underground passage that leads to a bunker village that has a fake sky and clouds with many villagers and farm animals living there.

This build looks very similar to the fake world created in the movie The Truman Show where the main character had no idea that his entire world was just a show for other people to watch. In this build, the villagers are the subjects who have no idea about the world that is above them.

Reddit user bruh-moments-lol mentioned how this build reminded them of the Truman Show. The original poster replied saying that it was exactly their new project. User INS345 also doubled on that thought.

A user named Intelligent_Owl7297 had an interesting query. They were curious as to how the bunker was completely illuminated like that. Since the entire build is deep underground, there needs to be a light source such as torches or bulbs like copper bulbs to light up the space.

User DismalRecipe7805 commented that the original poster might be using the Fullbright mod.

For those who do not know, the Fullbright mod changes the gamma settings in specific areas where it's dark to make things look bright. This mod lets players see easily in dark areas without using torches or any light source.

User Skeleton_Gangster_TV commented that they want to do this as well, while user NanoCat0407 commented that the villagers living in this bunker village would only get suspicious about the shape of the clouds as they look different from the normal clouds in Minecraft.

Great builds in Minecraft

This is not the first time someone has created a brilliant build that’s worthy of discussion. Recently, a player built a 1:2 scale replica of Mount Everest in Minecraft. That’s not all, as the build had many of the locations from the real mountain that players can explore.

While most of these builds are done in creative mode and by using third-party services such as WorldEdit mod that allows for large-scale creation easily, it is still impressive how people come up with ideas and make the effort to create such builds.
