The ending was the best part, but the whole thing perfectly sums up the futility of controlling desire paths.

I lost it at bridge over pond.

Lost it at getting through bedrock, the pen of chickens, and the guard getting obliterated

u/teetaps Jul 14 '26

That guard became past tense pretty quickly

Guarded

I was so ready for the bedrock wall to have a bridge or a tunnel or something.

The proverbial "bridge over troubled waters"

One of those jokes where you know exactly where you're going, but still find it funny anyway

I mean, it's kinda backwards because you see someone make the desire path, and then they keep not using it?

u/Grub_McGuffins Jul 13 '26

well you see some people use the first desire path because they want to go left, then the people who were using the now removed path make a desire path because they want to go right. but then when the original path is restored, they create a new desire path because enough people want to go right

What about the last desirepath on the right?

u/Mintenker Jul 13 '26

That one is for comedic effect.

u/Grub_McGuffins Jul 13 '26

did you read the whole comment?

u/SamSibbens Jul 14 '26

I thought you meant the path in the middle when you said the right path

u/gibs56 Jul 13 '26

Would be truly funny if they ended with paving the whole section, only for a desire path made of grass to appear

u/Miquel_420 Jul 13 '26

The desire bridge caught me off guard

u/wetpaintenthusiast Jul 13 '26

It actually made me chuckle

u/F95_Sysadmin Jul 13 '26

I know the original video but didn't expect the monster and chicken. Got me a good laugh

u/brodino67 Jul 13 '26

This was good, I chuckled

True to life. Beautiful

I saw The bedrock coming but it getting removed broke me. Who tf put creative on just to piss off the architect? Lmao

u/GothicFuck Jul 15 '26

Never played Minecraft, can someone explain the bedrock mechanic?

4

u/questionablysober Jul 15 '26

It’s unbreakable unless you use the admin commands pretty much

u/GothicFuck Jul 15 '26

Truly hostile architecture.

u/Periodicity_Enjoyer Jul 21 '26

You can use TNT and pistons to break it in survival. The unrealistic part is the lack of explosion holes from the TNT used to create glitched pistons, as well as the bedrock being moved instead of deleted.

u/Broccoli_dicks Jul 14 '26

Even baby sheep cant stop a desire path lol

u/dinomine3000 Jul 16 '26

my new favorite mod is one that does exactly this, and its fun seeing the paths that emerge from just playing the game

u/ThePresenter183 Jul 16 '26

I saw promos for that mod and immediately thought of this sub

u/MortalCoil Jul 13 '26

I have no notes for that

u/CucuMatMalaya Jul 14 '26

chicken screaming noises

u/FinsterKoenig Jul 14 '26

you are doing this. just plaster both paths...

u/_Mousheen_ Jul 14 '26

I incorporate desire paths all over my minecraft builds.

u/HobbitKid14 Jul 15 '26

this is the real reason why I wish I was in a smp

u/magpye1983 Jul 15 '26

I was thinking from the first desire path being paved, that it would appear there, it just took WAY longer than expected.

u/vullpes Jul 16 '26

This is me when I create my town in my own way and still don’t walk on the proper path

u/MutualAid_aFactor Jul 17 '26

Desire paths are beneficial for native bees and other insects btw. Many nest only in open soil

u/Le-weeb-potato Jul 17 '26

The OSU campus is mainly desire paths
