Minecraft Minesweeper officially released as Realm minigame

4.6

This wasn't what I was expecting the Mojang-Microsoft relationship to produce, but here we are. A 3D but otherwise recognisable version of Minesweeper is now a minigame in Minecraft Realms, the official online subscription service for the obscenely popular sandbox game. It turns out taking a 2D concept and stretching it to cover an entire room makes it a little disturbing.

The minigame was first announced through Marc Watson's Twitter, who is the community manager for Minecraft Realms:

New to Realms, it's Minesweeper... IN 3D! You can try this singleplayer game by clicking Minigames on your Realm. pic.twitter.com/GOgBxmY9Ih

Don't look like something I would like at all.

For the people saying no one will play it...people will. There are some people that actually enjoy Minesweeper. I do. The fact that it is 3D game now makes it ever more challenging that it was and a new playing field. Yes it might be a gimmick, but it isn't a stupid one. They bought mine craft for so much money, glad they're trying new things with it.

Pretty cool Idea, I'm sure this was a mod a while back though
