I'm completely remaking Portal in Minecraft with the Portal gun mod. Also using the piston mod, speaker mod (for GLaDOS and other sound effects/music) vertical redstone, and probably a few others I'm forgetting. I'm planning on releasing it once it's finished. This video has the last two chambers, but I've made every test except for chambers 2, 18, and 19. You can see more on my YouTube channel if you want.

I've been working on it for a little over two months.

Added a video of the first six chambers!

This is the best summary of Minecraft I've ever seen.

I've got the whole game up until this point done. I've been working on it for two months.

My guilty pleasure is playing Minecraft. However, I'm still using an alpha client because I'm too cheap to pay for the beta.

It is somewhat fun though.

**looks down in shame**

That being said, this is pretty neat work, sure looks like you've paid attention to detail (you have a specific block with a scrawling on it?!).

Now with 100% more inline comments!

Most things on the wall are paintings, even the handprint and Rattman's help. You can even go inside the Rattman den, where you can find The Cake is a Lie written there. And more posters actually from Portal.

I have a specific block with the red X on it for the turret chamber, because you can't put paintings on the ceiling. Also I have a high quality texture pack (128x128) that looks really good too.

Here's a picture of the redstone outside of the companion cube chamber.

full size:

I can't fit it all on one screen! Plus there's lots more buried underground activated by pressure plates. And some more on the other side of the building.

also I made a logo
