I encourage you all to investigate Vechs' "Race for the Wool" maps. Imagine two long islands floating in the middle of nothingness, each a mirror of each other. There's a channel between them about a chunk wide, and Vechs has built redstone contraptions between the lanes designed to fuck with the other side. You're not allowed to enter the void between the two lanes, but you can shoot arrows and built TNT cannons. The idea is to complete the puzzles within your lane to retrieve the wool blocks while simultaneously taking effort to hamper the other side's efforts to do the same. If you subscribe to Coestar's youtube channel, you already know what I'm talking about, but if you're not, check it out. It's pretty wacky.
What am I getting to in all this? I really don't think that we as the Internet have scratched the surface of what Minecraft is capable of.
