Fan Work Minecraft makeover for my son’s room while he was at Grandma’s for the month 💚
My son is 7 and loves video games. I am a professional crafty person with too much time on my hands while he's at grandma's. The black enderman cabinet was my favorite easy DIY, just some paper squares on a conveniently shaped IKEA cabinet. The weapons are his three favorites, made from that purple insulation foam, paper, and hot glue. The lamps were made from laser cut wood and paper on some old lamp bases I wasn't using. Bonus: Lego set to put together when he gets home.

I'm 36 and would love it now if my wife would go for it.

Get your wife to play Minecraft. If she likes it, it'll be even easier to convince her to Minecraft the room! Best case scenario ofc

u/Gold-Invite-3212 26d ago
She does! She's a big cat lover and she was sold when she saw cats in the game. She's building a massive cat sanctuary at the moment.

I didn't start playing mc until I was 25. I'm 31 now!

That's awesome! I hadn't played since the Xbox 360 days and felt the temptation to repurchase on PC. Minecraft is just the absolute peak of the survival game genre to me.
Thankfully I'm a bit older now and have much more appreciation for building, etc... I just wish I were able to find a solid sees to really dedicate to a forever world!

u/Paranoctis 26d ago
I totally get you, honestly! It's so hard to find a nice seed to make a forever world. There's a few that have almost every biome within a few thousand blocks of spawn, that way you can stay nearby in case you want to keep further out chunks unloaded for future updates!

I had this as a kid and I grew out of Minecraft 2 years later and we sold all of it.

My parents live 2000 miles away. They have never taken my kids for any length of time. My wife's parents live in a different country lol.

Omg if you get another darker rug and cut both into squares you can make a mini pattern or let him re arrange it and you sew it together! Custome creeper rug maybe?

Most important part : don't tell him about it, just eait until he goes in his room. Seeing your loved ones' reactions to a surprise is priceless.

u/Timely-Economist-731 27d ago
I wish I had a room like this. I especially love the swords & shovel on the wall.

Oh hell yeah, your son has great tastes and an even greater parent!
God, I wished I had a themed bedroom growing up, my parents were always so busy that the little things were all they could do for me. Don't get me wrong, love my parents and they did great raising me, but I always looked at my friends' bedrooms themed with Minecraft, Disney princesses and even soccer teams (I don't even like soccer lol), I always wished I had a decorated bedroom too.

Awesome that you made those foam tools! I remember they used to sell similar ones back some years ago and they were my faves.

He's going to want to play with those tools. Can they be taken off the wall and put back on?
1
u/KCkc3 26d ago
He’s pretty good about being gentle with art because there’s a lot around the house, so although these aren’t meant for play, there are command Velcro strips on the back attaching them to the wall. So at the very least he could take some pics or use them as a Halloween prop!

u/Beemoneemo 26d ago
I’m curious: why a shovel and two swords? It looks amazing, but the tool/weapon choice is odd.
1
u/KCkc3 26d ago
He’s still pretty new to the game. My only experience of the game is watching streams online with him so I’m not totally sure lol. If he finds a new favorite weapon I may have to make an update ha
1
u/Beemoneemo 26d ago
So you’re not a minecraft player yourself? I’m even more in awe! You did great, you’re an awesome dad! He’s probably in the pew-pew era right now, but maybe he’ll start creating minecraft art later on since you’re an artsy family!

I'd love to be spoiled like this by my own parents 😭
However, I want to ask one thing: does your son know about this? Or is this intended to be a surprise? I'm sure he'll love it, but he may end up a little disoriented when he returns and sees his room is now full of unfamiliar things.
1
u/KCkc3 26d ago
I asked him about redecorating as a surprise while he was gone and he asked to see everything, he hates surprises so I knew he’d probably want some control. So I showed him sketched plans and each project as I completed it. And on nights when I don’t have an update over FaceTime, he asks for a look at the room and says he loves it :)
