Verizon managed to make a fully functional smartphone in Minecraft

There’s no shortage of insane creations in Minecraft, but it looks like Verizon might have just made the most insane thing I’ve ever seen in the block building game. Verizon’s engineers managed to build an actual, working smartphone in the game, complete with a web browser and the ability to make video calls to people in the real world. That’s significantly cooler than the wooden huts I usually build in Minecraft.

The creation uses a ton of back-end stuff to actually make things work, so this obviously isn’t something you’d be able to do in a completely unmodified version of the game. But either way, the execution is amazing and Verizon has been kind enough to upload instructions and the entire project is available on github if you want to try it out for yourself. Otherwise, you can see everything in action in the video below.
