There are a few really neat references to Minecraft pop culture in A Minecraft Movie<\/a>, including a tribute to Technoblade and a couple of DanTDM shoutouts. But there also seems to be quite a few cameos that were cut, including a scene featuring Valkyrae<\/a> and several inventions from Mumbo Jumbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, there were a ton of fun sequences we wanted to do,” director Jared Hess says in an interview with TechRadar<\/a>. “[Popular Minecraft YouTuber] Mumbo Jumbo, who’s a redstone genius, was working on a great scene that we just couldn’t do.<\/p>\n

“We had a sequence that involved a giant Piglin robot, which was a Trojan horse-type thing that worked via redstone. I storyboarded it, we had full animatics of it, and it was a really hilarious scene. But, we just weren’t able to do it.”<\/p>\n

Mumbo Jumbo is a Minecraft YouTuber who specialises in creating redstone builds. Recently, he managed to make mechanical cogs<\/a> and gears in vanilla Minecraft (no mods, just pure redstone) as well as a massive redstone fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These builds are all incredibly impressive. I love playing around with redstone, and have even gone to Mumbo Jumbo for inspiration for builds multiple times, but I could never come up with anything he makes on my own, my brain just isn’t hardwired like that.<\/p>\n
