I made an automatic intricate bridge builder from r / Minecraft
Minecraft is all about building things. From simple houses to cities and entire monuments to role-playing games and even MMORPGs, the players have already created a lot. Now the users have reached the latest level and no longer build themselves, but let build for you.
The bridge that builds itself
This works with the help of the gigantic construction like that of Reddit user sharfpang: whose machine builds all by itself a bridge over a sea of lava
However, the method is not particularly effective. In the comments, many players assume that the bridge could have been built manually much faster. At the same time, they also explain that this would of course be far less exciting.

How does the self-building bridge work?
The update 20w13a provided the basis for corresponding machines, the self-building bridge from sharfpang. In his patch notes, the decisive change is mentioned casually:
"Basalt is formed when lava flows over the earth next to blue ice."
The basic principle the ilmango explains on YouTube using a simpler design. The construction pushes a block of soul earth, on which an infusible block of blue ice sits, through the lava. This creates a block of basalt that you can safely enter.
Some variations go even further, creating not just a simple path, but a safe, lowered walkway. So you can see the lava lakes in the Nether dimension cross comfortably – without getting your hands dirty.
Minecraft's constructions can not only be exciting or imposing, they can be sometimes even serve an important purpose. For example, the advertising agency DDB Germany created the Uncensored Library, which aims to bring freedom of the press to countries where there is strong censorship.
