Flappy Bird, the indie game that has suddenly become popular and has topped charts, has now reached another popular indie game from Mojang Studios, Minecraft.
Flappy Bird has been recreated in Minecraft by a new mode that shows pipes and players. It can set the difficulty level with randomized stages in 3D style of the block-builder game. The video was spotted by Kotaku. The Flappy Bird mod has been created by Minecraft expert, CodeCrafted.
"The unexplainable popular mobile game, Flappy Bird, recreated in Minecraft. I find it less frustrating to play than the mobile version. Game play is slightly different. Instead of tapping a screen you can tap your jump key until it breaks," said CodeCrafted. The mod can be downloaded at Planet Minecraft.
