Minecraft. You think that there's no way to play Minecraft "wrong", right up until you accidentally fall into the 4-block wide valley that I've cut through the entire map or walk into the liminal space that I've mined out just above bedrock. Fuck cutesy cottages and Minecraft in minecraft- let's just build superstructures that disappear beyond the draw distance of the map. Fuck creative mode- let's do it while we're facing down mobs day and night. Fuck explosives- do that shit with a pick like a goddamn man. You haven't really seen confused rage until your child discovers hundreds of unexplained and unexplainable brutalist towers extending into the distance like the gravestones of alien gods when they thought you were building a farm over the next hill.
. . . I gotta tour one of your worlds someday
Shit like this I have only seen in a Manga once, forgot the name, but basically bunch of robots that humanity made were let loose without humans(they died) and they kept building giant megastructures for no reason without stopping It's just absolutely surreal and I just love it
Sounds like Blame! which is one of my favorite graphic novels
Y E E E E E E E E E E E Blame! is just so good

Oh shit. I need to watch this.
There's a great level of detail mod that can keep distant structures and terrain loaded in. I think it's called Distant Horizons. That and a render performance improvement are the only mods that I play with, makes such a big difference.
On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there's probably something similar for Java
