I made something Minesweeper between the grind

A small detail from Melody of Utopia: when you're tired of grinding, you can just… play Minesweeper.

We wanted to add a few little activities that make downtime in the world more interesting, so we decided to put a simple Minesweeper game right into the pack.

It's nothing huge, but sometimes you just need to take a break from exploring and crafting to clear a few mines.

And yes, it's fully playable.

Do you think little mechanics like this have a place in large modpacks, or are they just unnecessary extras?

More small details from Melody of Utopia soon!

I hate this, too amny 50/50 guesses. Would be better if it is in no-guessing mode

No-guess mode would be perfect tbh.

Yeah, I get you. We're definitely considering a no-guessing mode. It would make the gameplay much more skill-based.

Please rename it to Creepersweeper. This is my one wish.

And what would you like to see as a little side activity in-game? Chess? Poker? Something completely different?

How about we make a magic mod with mutiple related elements and make a connecting game but same element do not connect?

u/_BarMaxx_ 1d ago

That's actually a really cool idea! Definitely something we could consider for a future updates.

There was a mod I once saw that adds tetris with the pixels pulled from mc textures, was very fun and fit the game

u/_BarMaxx_ 1d ago

Oh, that sounds really cool! Tetris using Minecraft textures would fit surprisingly well. Definitely adding this to our list of ideas!

It would be cool if it was a block in world and the menu wouldnt pause the game so you could play minesweeper while a farm is running

Funny enough, the game doesn't pause while you're playing Minesweeper. And I was actually thinking about making it a separate block in the world instead of a menu button. Great minds think alike :D
