In a post shared on r/Minecraft, user Java-Jumper posted pictures of the incredible fox statue that they built inMinecraft. Inspired by a LEGOMinecraftset with a similar appearance, the massive structure dwarfs Java-Jumper’s avatar as it stands barely visible atop the fox’s curled-up tail. Above the entrance to the interior of the massive fox the word “Foxtrot” is spelled out, a homage to a popular Ukrainian electronics store chain. A pair of oversized sunglasses mirroring those worn by the creator’s avatar provide the finishing touch on this adorable creation.
