Minecrafter Builds a Giant Halo ring that actually Spins

You'll need to alter it however, you can download it and explore it.

A world built of cubes can't do circles. However, Minecraft players are not in any way afraid to defy logic and construct amazing round structures. One brave builder went further and broke every rule to build an elongated ring that rotates. A complete, moving Halo ring that includes beam emitters, biomes, and even a crashed Pelican. The best part is that you can download and play with the thing yourself.

The Minecraft YouTuber named Reach says that his Halo ring was initially inspired by a model shared by another creator. Although this smaller world of rings is impressive however, the comments on the post suggested that it could be even more awesome If it actually worked. Reach was up to the challenge by using WorldEdit and Create to design and create an actual ring that moves.

It was a massive undertaking. He made use of the Clockwork Bearing blocks in the Create mod to control the ring's movement. A single clockwork bearing that was attached to the ring's edge couldn't complete the task, it was discovered. "The first time I tried to move it and it didn't render because the entity created being too big for Minecraft to handle," he explains. Minecraft server list

So Reach opted to split it into four sections, each of which had a rotating bearing and an arm. However, if that did not work, he ended up with eight bearings all attached to sections of the ring as spokes. "I did think that it wouldn't work," he tells me, "but my stubbornness and wanting to make something unique for YouTube and my audience was enough for me to pull through." After all that? Holy crap, the thing is moving.

Planet Minecraft has the project that you can download if want to experience the wonder of an ethereal world-like ring. It's required to run on Minecraft version 1.16 and a few other mods such as Forge and Create, Flywheel, and some custom Halo textures if you like. Once inside, you'll manually start up the bearings to get the thing running, but once you're on the ground it will keep ticking.

It doesn't rotate in a continuous manner so you won't have to keep up with a forever moving hamster wheel. The whole ring turns in increments of about 30 seconds. All the better, because I found myself a bit disoriented and motion sick while exploring the ring in its current state. It'll take me a while to establish my space legs. Reach also had to lock each block in order to ensure that the ring rotates in the way it was intended, so you won't be able build or use mine here. It's a diorama, more than a playable world but still very cool.

You can hear some more of Reach's process in the video on YouTube below, where he discusses the challenges of engineering the ring, as well as the various decorative choices he made while building to give the entire thing a Halo feel.

God bless the Minecraft builders. They never quit.
