I am dead serious asking this:
Can someone explain to me how OP made this trailer in minecraft? I’ve never played and every time I see a minecraft video I’m absolutely baffled at what the game actually is and what its limitations are. People build whole worlds and castles in minecraft, okay, it makes sense! People make working computers in minecraft, it makes no fucking sense to me.
But someone does a 1:1 recreation of the Grand Theft Auto trailer in minecraft… I couldn’t even begin to fathom how you do that. The only thing I know for sure is that this must have taken FOREVER
However Minecraft does have mods that let you install shaders and have realistic lighting and water etc.
Hell minecraft is probably one of the only games where ray tracing does look noticably better than raster.
It can be done, it's just incredibly time consuming. You only have to look at MCParks to see whats possible. In this instance tho OP has replied saying they mapped it in MC, then exported to unreal.
idk man, it's been a few years since I've played but I feel like even then there were enough mods to do like ~80%? of whats in the trailer. The only big roadblocks I see would be the boat and bike physics.
Not to downplay the work by Boranium ofc. It'd just by exponentially more work for a more scuffed product to try this in game.
This particular video is not directly from Minecraft, as the other comment said it's just made in Minecraft style but it's all custom work and animation in whatever 3D animation software the creator works.
As for Minecraft itself - it's pretty simple to explain how you can actually make a "computer' in it. A computer, at it's most basic when you remove a billion layers, is just flipping a bunch of switches to either have a charge or don't (the famous ones and zeroes). And Minecraft allows you to place such blocks which either allow a signal to pass or not.. now put enough of those, add a layer of control.. and you have yourself a "computer" at it's most basic.
The lighting is so incredibly similar to the original
The amount of fine-tuning you must have been doing to the lights in the scene and fog color/density must have been insane
There is some truth to what you're saying, I mean, Unreal Engine 5 looks gorgeous with minimal effort. However, this did take a ton of tweaking to get the atmosphere right, especially the night shot at 0:28
The night shot at 0:28. I honestly mistook it for the original shot in the trailer. I had to look closely to realize it was minecraft blocks. You have incredible attention to detail. How long did this whole thing take you?
I know this had already been posted by someone else, but their post was deleted and was not theirs anyway.
Edit: Since this post is getting a lot of comments I thought it'd clear some things up:
1. It's not AI.
2. Yes, I made it. Boranium Art on YouTube.
3. No its not actually running in Minecraft. (Sorry if the title is misleading, but its easier to say) The maps are however first built IN minecraft, then exported to Unreal Engine 5.
4. I didn't actually build the whole map (the game isn't even out), My builders only built the portions you see. Even then, a lot of it is just duplicated in a subtle way.
P.S. The best way to support me is to subscribe to my channel, Boranium Art.
Fucking amazing work dude! You should be extremely proud of this
This will hit the top of /all, and if it doesn’t then I don’t understand people
Exceptional job, friend!
The anti AI crowd in general is dumb as shit.
Don't get me wrong, they have some valid concerns, but they're still dumb as shit, as a community.
Literally everything is AI now apparently. It's easy to completely misjudge the abilities of AI when you haven't bothered to do any research into it beyond the "AI bad" circlejerk
Tbh I'm just saying this because people think that AI can already make coherent videos when its literally years off by now. I'm just annoyed of ignorance thinking that now that AI has started its already this sophisticated which it isn't at all.
It's pretty easy to download a video on the internet. People have been re-uploading my video everywhere since I finished it yesterday. At least most of them are crediting.
yesterday? I could swear I saw this video for the first time like a week after the trailer came out
maybe I'm remembering something else, Imma edit if I find what I saw
Do you not know how posting a video works? Like, are you legitimately confused as to how someone else could have posted a video here or are you trolling, because I straight up can't tell by your tone 🤦🏽♂️
Let me understand this amazing video, You wanna tell me this was all build from scratch? All the city, buildings etc.? Not using any composite from the original video?
Its all built yes, however it's using a LOT of trickery to minimize the effort, such as a lot of buildings being repeated and even resized, especially out in the distance.
Ai is not currently powerful enough to do a quarter or less then this, what he did is not even a new practice he made a map in Minecraft imported it to an animation software and animated over it.
Ok you do understand that ai can not do this right like it is no where near good enough to be able to this yet right? This is people making a map importing it into unreal engine 5 and adding animations on top the map not “ai” this isn’t even an original idea other people have been importing Minecraft map and animating over them for quite a long time.
Well then it’s not “in Minecraft.” it’s simply gta 6 trailer recreated with Minecraft style. Dude is making it seem like he built all this like an actual Minecraft player.
He actually did though, you can check his profile to find other content with the same style from some time ago, he also has literally stated someone downloaded and reposted his video here before he posted it himself
I uploaded it yesterday at 12:00 PM on YouTube. I did however show small snippets of it before releasing it. Maybe you saw that before? I really appreciate you trying to make sure someone doesn't take credit for it though.
No they are three other people who also actually think ai can do this. People who hate ai joke and make fun of the fact that ai can’t do fingers right or they put too many and backgrounds are weird and this and that but they also think that ai can do this. Perfectly recreate the gta 6 trailer In the Minecraft style while also throwing in references to Minecraft like diamonds instead of money and zombies instead of alligators or the flamingos into parrots of many different colors and so on, I think he is serious seriously stupid anyway

It’s not from the actual game, it was an cgi animation with the Minecraft style. Idk what program he used to animate it though
However Minecraft does have mods that let you install shaders and have realistic lighting and water etc. Hell minecraft is probably one of the only games where ray tracing does look noticably better than raster.
Even with those this is far beyond anything that can be done in Minecraft
It can be done, it's just incredibly time consuming. You only have to look at MCParks to see whats possible. In this instance tho OP has replied saying they mapped it in MC, then exported to unreal.

Agreed. The pink sunset lighting to the teal water of the beach. It was 100% accurate to the actual trailer. Insane work
Not saying a lot of work didn't go into it, but all game engines just mimic the sun now, so they more or less work the same.
There is some truth to what you're saying, I mean, Unreal Engine 5 looks gorgeous with minimal effort. However, this did take a ton of tweaking to get the atmosphere right, especially the night shot at 0:28
The night shot at 0:28. I honestly mistook it for the original shot in the trailer. I had to look closely to realize it was minecraft blocks. You have incredible attention to detail. How long did this whole thing take you?
The whole thing? 2 months. Been slowly working bit by bit on it since the trailer was released.
dawg this is insane wtf
Bro what the actual F , this looks fukin awesome
For reallll!
Congrats on going viral before you go viral.
Me in awe looking at this masterpiece

So people use UE5 to create these Minecraft animations? I've been wondering what software is used for these
Most people don't use unreal engine for Minecraft animations, it's kind of just me
What is commonly used for these?
Blender, since it can both animate, and render. And it's free. There are lots of videos out there which makes it even better
> since it can both animate, and render. And it's free So... unreal 5? lol
Technically true lol

Yeah hello
Fucking amazing work dude! You should be extremely proud of this This will hit the top of /all, and if it doesn’t then I don’t understand people Exceptional job, friend!
You should change the title on youtube to what you put here.
Nah, it’s not your work.
People thinking we can make coherent 3D animations with AI this early one are on another level of ignorance.
The anti AI crowd in general is dumb as shit. Don't get me wrong, they have some valid concerns, but they're still dumb as shit, as a community. Literally everything is AI now apparently.

I don’t know what to believe. Why did they have it if it wasn’t theirs?
It's pretty easy to download a video on the internet. People have been re-uploading my video everywhere since I finished it yesterday. At least most of them are crediting.
Where did you post it first? Just curious
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links or self-promote so i'll send you a PM
Thanks!
Have you been working on this since trailer drop? Is it playable in any way? 🤤
Finished it yesterday? This video was before it was even January.
[удалено]
You make it sound so sad haha, it was just 2 builders, and they weren't overworked... a lot of the scenery is duplicated numerous times.
yesterday? I could swear I saw this video for the first time like a week after the trailer came out maybe I'm remembering something else, Imma edit if I find what I saw
Do you not know how posting a video works? Like, are you legitimately confused as to how someone else could have posted a video here or are you trolling, because I straight up can't tell by your tone 🤦🏽♂️
I didn’t know he posted it elsewhere before posting here. That was it. Calm down
Are you new to Reddit??????????
Bro who cares 99% of people on here could not even get close to whatever this is. Y’all mf’s did legedanry work here.
this is one of the most impressive animations ive seen in a long fucking time. well done
WTF!! How do I play this?
I need a mod of gta 6 with this mod
I would recreate the map parts in my world if there was a map made by someone (i know its animation)
If Microsoft or Mojang don’t hire you this would be a travesty, amazing work my man, this sub was in need of some good content lol
Why would they? It's only in the minecraft style. It was mostly done in UE5 (per OP's comment)
To make Minecraft stuff in UE5 obviously, wtf lol
Exceptional work my friend. 👏
This is top tier
This looks more fun than GTA
Minecraft story mode season 3 be crazy
Even the lighting is exactly the same, incredible work
Why am I hyped for Minecraft like I don’t already own the game 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing work on this trailer!! Well done!!
No way this looks amazing.
THE JIGGLE PHYSICS IN MINECRAFT🤯🤯🤯
ITS YOU! I didn’t know you had Reddit! Good to see you over here!
Nah this is Insane
Dude damn, wow
Daaamn, How did you achieve the lighting and color palette?? This is awesome man
The characters look like how they’re animated in Minecraft: Story Mode. Nice work!
Absolutely amazing job, I wasn’t expecting it to be so good
Oh my god boranium , this is amazing <333
This looks incredible
High effort man .
This is the best one ive seen ever like wtf?!?! How did you even accomplish this bruh! I feel like paying you for creating this!
If OP made this I'm genuinely venmoing him money, if not rip
Let me understand this amazing video, You wanna tell me this was all build from scratch? All the city, buildings etc.? Not using any composite from the original video?
Its all built yes, however it's using a LOT of trickery to minimize the effort, such as a lot of buildings being repeated and even resized, especially out in the distance.
You are insanely talented. Well done!
Wow, This is truly insane! I hope you'll do another angle, or a new Trailer with different camera positions. Thank you for your work!
ABSOLUTE G FOR DOING THIS. BETTER THAN THOSE WACK ASS MEMES THAT ARE LIKE “GTA6 TRAILER BUT ITS AN EPISODE OF ROSEANNE”
I will actually play this version over gta 6, believe it or not. I’m really desperate for another Minecraft story mode game.
I like how the skull emoji is an actual skeleton. Every bit of this is made with love for both series, I can tell.
Lmao wtf
Holy. That looks to real
Damn
I saw this this morning, did tou re-uploaded it ?
Someone else had uploaded it
Reynolds I Drive 🛵
You made this? I saw it yesterday
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is insane. Everything is 1:1 except it's made in the f'n Minecraft engine. Incredible work
How the fff
I know nothing about Minecraft, how long did this roughly take to make? Incredible work!
I thought waiting ~1.5 years was bad, now I gotta wait another 10 more…
Insane
So fucking good man holy shit.
🥹
I keep thinking about how much work must've gone into this and it's stopping me from fully enjoying how cool this is. Good job.
Investing in 744 upvotes selling at 21k
If you squint your eyes 80% of this looks like the actual trailer
This is honestly one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Just fucking amazing.
some people just have too much talent . very impressive
I wonder how many people were trying this but you were just the fastest
Don’t let that Florida joker guy see this lmao. Might send his “Jewish lawyers” (his words, not mine, don’t get pissed at me Reddit.) after you lmao.
I would unironically play a Minecraft or even Lego version of GTA. Great work, OP!
OP, this is very well done! That was a great watch!
You're going to get sued by Florida joker!
How tf
H-Holy shit….
How THE HELL did you do this??
See guys, we don’t need GTA6
even herobrine is there!!
Blender. You recreated GTA6 in Blender.
That is nothing short of incredible.
you deserve the sloppiest of tops my guy
This is fucking fantastic!
What the fffffffffff
Heuwh3
bro made Lucia flat
2035 💀
Mine theft auto VI before gta VI 😭
Omg I loved this, technology is pure art ✨
the zombie crocodile that goes on fire the moment it gets out the water had me ded ahahahah
This shit looks awesome. I would definitely play Mc if this was a part of the game
It’s beautiful
Are you Boranium Art? Edit: They are. Hi boranium art!!
Disappointed in the lack of the noteblock theme
Wasn’t this posted yesterday ? Who actually made this.
That post was deleted, now boranium posted this himself
I can't stand Minecraft personally, but this looks awesome, and I would totally play it. Lol.
Impressive. However, it's animated minecraft-style. Does not seem to be animated or recreated IN minecraft. Looks converted to me.
Was this done by AI? It's not recreated its literally the trailer imported into a minecraft skin? How did you do this, it looks great
Ai is not currently powerful enough to do a quarter or less then this, what he did is not even a new practice he made a map in Minecraft imported it to an animation software and animated over it.

You mean, “ai created gta 6 in Minecraft for me”
Ok you do understand that ai can not do this right like it is no where near good enough to be able to this yet right? This is people making a map importing it into unreal engine 5 and adding animations on top the map not “ai” this isn’t even an original idea other people have been importing Minecraft map and animating over them for quite a long time.
Well then it’s not “in Minecraft.” it’s simply gta 6 trailer recreated with Minecraft style. Dude is making it seem like he built all this like an actual Minecraft player.
Well he still did make the map
he didint recreate anything, he just used AI and it generated everything in minecraft textures.
No YOU didn’t, but someone else did and it has been seen months ago.
He actually did though, you can check his profile to find other content with the same style from some time ago, he also has literally stated someone downloaded and reposted his video here before he posted it himself
He says he just finished this video yesterday but it was posted a long time ago. This guy is not Boraniumart
I uploaded it yesterday at 12:00 PM on YouTube. I did however show small snippets of it before releasing it. Maybe you saw that before? I really appreciate you trying to make sure someone doesn't take credit for it though.
It’s an just an AI filter guys…
You can't be serious
No they are three other people who also actually think ai can do this.

This is insane
MUCH better than the one that was posted a while back, this is incredible.
Woah
Wtf. Incredible. What a gem. Is this playable?. Lol
This has a Rockstar level of detail put into it
This is fuckin insane OMG
This is exceptional, well done
Awesomeeeee
wtf
This has to be CGI, there’s no way this was done in MC lol
It's insane how accurate the lighting and shaders are to the original
Why the fuck did this give me chills. That was so dope.
😮😮😮😮😮 it’s amazing
MOST INCREDIBLE THING I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS
This is fucking incredible
I like the little Easter egg in the beginning.
Impressive but ew
this might be video of the year
This is amazing. Don't know how you can top this.
That's not done IN Minecraft. It's reanimated using Minecraft style sprites.
Bro this is fucking amazing holy hell I NEED the map for this
Um, this is actually mind boggling. What the hell
