Awesome Minecraft

If you’ve played Minecraft, you know to steer clear of Creepers. These bespeckled hostile mobs will blow you to smithereens.

After a small test, they got a much bigger boom from a charged Creeper.

DoodleChaos imagines what it might be like if Minecraft was a rhythm-matching game like Beat Saber or Guitar Hero.

The track is Fly Away by TheFatRat f/Anjulie.

Beat Saber is one of the most fun and addictive VR games we’ve played, but it requires a head-mounted display and VR controllers to play.
