Summary
A talentedAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayer managed to create an entireMinecraft-themed house, complete with diamonds and a Steve-inspired character design. The ability to customize just about everything is one of the biggest draws ofNew Horizons, and it’s been a source of creativity for players long after the game’s release. Some have taken it as an opportunity to pay tribute to some of their other favorite games, letting fans get a taste of the crossovers of their dreams.
Players have wanted these titles to come together for some time. Some users say the Super Mario Mash-Up DLC shows howAnimal CrossingandMinecraftare a great match, and it doesn’t take much imagination to draw some similarities between the two. While there’s no word on if an official crossover will ever happen, oneNew Horizonsplayer has taken it into their own hands.
Reddit user Klarks2Cents revealed theirMinecraft-themed house on theAnimal Crossingsubreddit, showing off four unique rooms and a character that looks suspiciously like Steve. The remarkably faithful environments include a diamond mine, a wooden house, and the Nether, all of which were possible through the game’s custom design pattern feature. Others have used these customization options tomake realistic Amazon packages inNew Horizonsor recreate iconic movie scenes, but it seems people are still finding new possibilities to explore, despite the game being several years old at this point.

Right now, custom designs are the only way to bringMinecraftintoAnimal Crossing, but fans could see elements from each game grow closer together in a different title. Ubisoft is reportedlyworking on anAnimal CrossingandMinecrafthybridcalledAlterra. While the title wouldn’t be an officialMinecraftorAnimal Crossinggame, it could incorporate gameplay features from each. Current rumors suggest it will let players interact with the world and build things like the former while giving them the chance to interact with friendly creatures like the latter.
Nintendo could also take some inspiration from Mojang. Some fans say thenextAnimal Crossinggame should useMinecraft’s mob votefeature, letting players vote on new villagers to introduce into the world. Another NintendoMinecraftDLC pack could also be interesting, potentially bringingAnimal Crossing-inspired textures into the game. However, it’s unclear if the studios will collaborate in the future. For now, though, fans will have to stick to the unofficial options, but as Klarks2Cents has shown, these can still look stellar.
