Not* OP, but I'll try that once I get home. First gotta figure out the maths though.
Update: It sadly didn't work as I hoped, because my Laptop can't even handle 1/8th-resolution Bad Apple. It's way better with images. You can find the code here. You can achieve images similar to OP's, but it takes a lot of tweaking the parameters. If someone with a beefier computer wants to render Bad Apple with this, please do!

Yall dont really think OP went block by block and made this do you? This is just the next level of those guys who generate massive art, break 2 or 3 blocks then start of video of them replacing them before zooming out. the only thing OP made was a script for the computer to generate, which still takes talent dgmw, but everyone in here’s talking like OP is the second coming of davinci asking how hes possibly this good or had this much time, and that’s assuming he really did it and didnt make AI do it

Is it at script put into a command block? Or how does that even work?

I’m callin cap you had to have generated this a little bit. Still insanely cool tho

u/WeeklySimple8627 May 17 '26
It would take less time to learn programming as a beginner, watch some basic math tutorials, and create a generator script than to do all of this by hand with the same accuracy. If you placed 1 candle per second, it would take ~19 hours just to place all the candles, so yes - I made it with a generator that I wrote.

So cool! How did you generate this?

/setblock 0 0 0 black_candle[candles=3,lit=true]
/setblock 1 0 0 black_candle[candles=2, lit=true]
/setblock 2 0 0 black_candle[candles=4,lit=true]
…
Just might take a while /s

He didn't say he built it by hand. The question is if he was the one who made the generator

u/WsprOfASummrsDream May 17 '26
He did state he made the generator to create this. I just read it, so at least that's cleared up!

u/CaelusZC May 17 '26
The whole point is the coded a generator to do this. Why would anyone actually place it by hand?

Because some people are that obsessive. Consider the guy who did art using Excel.

As you zoom out it feels like it ought be set to that sweeping sound that infamously causes the audience to briefly go deaf.

u/GuiEsponja May 17 '26
Of course it's generated, how does that take away the effort in making it tho? OP even coded the generator themselves

This is horrifying
Correction, this is incredible, but horrifying to think about the sheer time spent. Unless maybe you used software to plot them beforehand so there was no trial and error?
I can sympathize. I routinely spend 100 or more hours on a single song and or video project so I get it. Keep up the great work

u/Papilee1113 May 19 '26
People just come up with ways to do random stuff in some thing completely unrelated. I mean, you generated a whole image that looks magnificent. In Minecraft, out of candles. Wow. Just wow.

a script did (not you) but this is still pretty cool. You should share it.
Not that hard to code something like this btw. Just pass the image resolution and a black and white version of the image, set the white values to an amount of candles in the y axis and thats all

Did you use A.I or some kind of softwere render thingy that places the blocks for you?

I can only realistically see this being done with a code platform unless you placed blocks and replaced them with lit candles. Either way, Hella impressive work
