This Minecraft cellphone is almost a real one

Players of the famous game Minecraft keep impressing us with their skills and what they do in the game, but this is by far the most impressive we’ve seen yet.

Meet the first working cellphone that was made inside Minecraft using hundreds of blocks. The in-game “phone” supports video calling as well as texting and MMS, and even comes with a selfie stick. That’s actually a useful tool to have on hand, because the people on the other end of the video call will see your Minecraft avatar, represented just as he or she is in the game.

Developed by Verizon, it uses server-client architecture to translate web pages and streaming video into blocks that can be built into the game automatically and in real time.
