Imagine constructing a vast mansion in Minecraft Pocket Edition, inspired by the precise architecture of Savoy and the high-tech abode of Iron Man (Tony Stark). What would you name it? Coming up with a title that is both grand and fitting for such an expansive and impressive residence can be quite challenging.
A team of eight French builders from Cr3Art opted for a straightforward approach, naming their creation “Functional Modern House.” They dedicated 300 hours over three months to this project in Minecraft, resulting in something far more intricate and remarkable than just a functional modern home.
The mansion, as depicted in the image at the top of the article, is beautifully situated along a scenic coastline, perched on a long cliff and adorned with towering palm trees. A stroll across the bridge leading to the mansion reveals stunning views of ships and provides an excellent swimming spot.
If swimming in a pool isn’t your preference, you might consider taking a dip in the ocean; however, climbing back up the cliffs could prove to be quite a challenge in Minecraft PE. Perhaps a helicopter ride could assist you? There are certainly suitable landing spots available!
Additionally, the house features a bowling alley! It’s impressive how any MCPE building team recognizes that spheres don’t exist in Minecraft, yet still manages to create a bowling lane. Bravo!
Rather than boasting a dramatic title, the Cr3Art team aimed to highlight the “features” of their functional modern house. Notably, the home includes over 30 operational mechanisms, such as elevators, televisions, and even a piano!
The team believes that “the best part of the house is the kitchen,” which boasts five working mechanisms in total. This includes the piano, which they refer to as the “most entertaining” feature of the house. You can play it because each key conceals an invisible villager, and playing the piano essentially means “activating” them. Each villager has been specially modified to produce various sounds from Minecraft PE, creating a fully playable piano.
Clever—though perhaps a bit cruel for the imprisoned villagers!
However, not all of their creative quirks are high-tech. The Cr3Art team expressed pride in their expansive outdoor tennis courts and attention to detail in the underground basketball courts featuring spider web nets. This showcases what makes a functional modern house truly exceptional; all innovations and designs seamlessly fit within the standard aesthetic of Minecraft.
The Functional Modern House conceals numerous fascinating details, such as how the televisions operate: “It’s simply two frames with maps inside, specifically designed for the TV. We quickly switch the map in frame position—like a GIF—creating the illusion of a real television show.” Plus, of course, the remote changes the channel!
With so many clever applications of redstone, command blocks, and armored stands, it’s astonishing that these eight builders managed to complete the house in just three months. They were careful to ensure that each system activates only when you’re nearby, making the map accessible in Minecraft Pocket Edition across a wide range of devices.
“Every project is a new way to push the boundaries of the game.” As you might guess from the quality of this build, it’s not the team’s first endeavor. Over the past three years of collaboration, they have created more than 20 maps.
“Each map we’ve built has been a true source of pride for us,” the team shares. “Every project is a new opportunity to expand the limits of the game and showcase what’s possible with the amazing tool that is Minecraft.” Take a look at the gallery above—they certainly have reason to be proud!
So, what’s next for the team? Well, they’re already hard at work on four projects! Expect to see two more maps, a server, and a new command block-themed pirate project. And if you’re interested in joining the Cr3Art team, they’re on the lookout for talented and passionate players ready to come aboard.
In the meantime, you can visit the Functional Modern House to experience luxury living—just try not to think too much about all those invisible villagers trapped in the piano.
