A dedicatedMinecraftplayer has built an impressive and realistic tank based on a German Tiger 1 from World War 2 with the help of mods and skin that’s period appropriate. Since even before the full version ofMinecraftwas released back in 2011, plenty of players crafted incredible creations using the many blocks available in the early version of the game, and the addition of mods and more blocks over time just made this Reddit user’s tank more possible.
Reddit user Zmilkirill recently shared their ownMinecraftTiger 1 tank created using the Chisels and Bits and Little Blocks mods to accurately reflect the antique war machine. Little Blocks is among theimmersiveMinecraftmodsthat allow players who install it more flexibility in the customization by making the materials used in creative mode a lot smaller than the traditional blocks that they’re used to seeing in the game. Chisels and Bits combines with Little Blocks to make it easier to turn the bigger blocks into specific designs like this Tiger 1 tank created by Zmilkirill.

Zmilkirill’sMinecraftscreenshots show the player in a skin that resembles a soldier from the time missing a helmet that’s standing atop the large dark brown tank, with another one exclusively focusing on the Tiger 1. The image shows two scenes with a dark and gritty background and a cloudy sky which may be an additional mod providing more of the World War 2 aesthetic, contrasting theCold War look of anotherMinecraftcreation. The topMinecraftscreenshot in the image shows the Tiger 1 from an angle that emphasizes Zmilkirill’s attention to detail, while the bottom one is a glimpse at the finer points around the cannon.
The Tiger 1 created by Zmilkirill utilizes the help of the aforementioned mods to effectively detail the World War 2 tank, sparing no expense by including each nut and bolt that would be expected to keep the old vehicle together. Given how little of the Tiger 1’s surface theMinecraftcharacter model takes up, theMinecraftcreation is seemingly built larger than its real-life counterpart which may be due to how many blocks are required to mimic the tank. Though this isn’t the first time that Zmilkirill’s Tiger 1 has been shared amongtheMinecraftcommunity, it has garnered the attention of many fans once again.
Although Zmilkirill has confirmed that the tank theirMinecraftcreation is based on is the Tiger 1, others have stated that it also resembles an Abrams, a Baneblade fromWarhammer, or a tank inArma. SeveralMinecraftfans have expressed their appreciation for the World War 2 tank design from Zmilkirill, while one inquired about the gray skies in the background which are uncommon inthe Mojang game.
