THE HOUSECAN

The Housecan has many of the structures and aesthetics of a typical Minecraft house, but none of the cohesion of them. It is still nonetheless cohesive, just not in the way you typically think of the word. It uses a strict block palette of 28 total blocks, excluding air. There are no softlocks, every location is accessible from every other. There is no wasted space in the Houescan, all of its rooms weave through each other incredibly delicately. None of the Housecan was automated, with AI or even Worldedit, each and every block was maticulously and intentionally placed by a human being, with over 100,000 in total. The intended experience is one in which you do not interact with the Housecan in any way beyond exploring it; this means no breaking or placing blocks, no flipping of doors or trapdoors, no use of items like elytras ender pearls and fire, and no external help. The ideal experience is in a group of as many people as possible, all of whom are exploring the Housecan for the first time. Though there is a clear line of progression in the Housecan, it is not recommended to have your only goal be to "get out", but rather to try and explore as much of the space as possible.
