There are plenty of reasons why theclassic card gameUnohas endured throughout the years. With the simple objective of trying to remove all the cards from one’s hand while trying to force players to pick up more, it’s hectic party game action that’s easy to learn and get into, and now fans of bothUnoandMinecraftcan enjoy that action within the block-based virtual sandbox.
Of course, this is just the latest example of players finding ways to turnMinecraftinto a platform for other games. Many a clever player has managed to recreate all sorts of popular media in the game thanks to the sheer versatility of its built-in creative tools, and modders have been able to take this even further, making it possible to play hits ranging fromDoomtoBeat SaberinsideMinecraft.

And nowUnocan be added to that list, courtesy of Reddit user pr0mers. This weekend, they shared a video showing off the elaborate structure they built that makes it possible for up to four players to gather around a small table and play the game inMinecraft, complete with all 108 ofUno’s distinct cards at their disposal.
The video also describes how the whole thing works. Players start by drawing cards designed with different types of redstones, which are collected from a chest that gives them out at seemingly random upon being activated. This is done through a complex system of shulkers that match up with the values of each card’s redstone and cycle it into the chest. Players can then place cards on the table, and from there a minecart underneath the table takes the older cards and carries them back into the distribution mechanism.
It goes without saying that this took quite a lot of work to put together, and pr0mers started off the video by stating that it took 32 days and over 300 hours to create the whole structure. But the result is yet another impressive creation fromMinecraft’s player base, and better yet, they promised to share a tutorial so others can create their own alternative toUbisoft’s official video game version ofUno.
Even after more than a decade on the market,Minecraftshows no sign of slowing down, and the same can be said of its modding community. Player-made content continues to make its way onto the in-game marketplace in large quantities, and this in turn has resulted in massive profits for publisher Microsoft, which hasmade over $350 million fromMinecraftmodsin recent times.
Minecraftis available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
