- jonnathanson 11y agoThe article's actual headline (though not the link title) uses 'Minecraft' in quotation marks. It's saying that the pixelated pattern resembles a series of Minecraft blocks -- not that there is any literal connection to Minecraft.
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoBut minecraft is most definitely based on voxels (3D), not the pixels used in the camo (2D).
- rtkwe 11y agoThey're talking about the textures on the voxels which are blocky and pixelated like the tank textures. The same is true for a lot of games these days with the resurgence of 8-bit graphics but it's the one people will know the most. http://i.imgur.com/yyKp9SC.png http://i.imgur.com/yyKp9SC.png
- seanmcdirmid 11y agomakes sense, thanks for explaining it to me!
- optimuspaul 11y agoit's because the textures on the minecraft blocks look like the camo. has nothing to do with the blocks.
- jonnathanson 11y agoWe're basically splitting hairs at this point. The camo pattern looks like the textures on the Minecraft blocks, or vice versa. It's not that the pattern literally looks like it's made of Minecraft blocks, and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. This is one of the silliest arguments I've ever been involved in on the internet, and that's saying something. :) Can we just say "They used the word 'Minecraft' in the title because the camo kinda sorta looks like Minecraft textures" and move on with our lives?
- thenadamgoes 11y agoYeah. It's just digital camo. Its been used for a long time.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoNope. But this story is all over the internet today because the headline mentions Minecraft. Clickbait works.
