Summary
- A Minecraft player recreates Destiny 2's Tormentor enemy, with the foe being fully functional and able to be fought in the Mojang title.
- The player used plugins and Resource Packs to customize their creation, with no mods needed for the design.
With a little tweaking, a Minecraft player has recreated the Tormentor from Destiny 2 in the game. Every day, the Minecraft community shows off its creativity with creative, curious, and elaborate projects. These projects can be recreations of their favorite locations from other games and real-life places, or a range of new features added to the game.
The Tormentors were first introduced in Destiny 2: Lightfall, and are among the most difficult enemies in the game. These powerful, robust, and vaguely humanoid creatures created by the Witness hit hard, as they're fast and can close the distance instantly. Battling a Tormentor is a two-stage fight, as players must first destroy its initial weak points before the weak point moves and they can defeat it for good, though the back half of the fight is marked by even more dangerous attacks. With the Tormentor being such a notable enemy in Destiny 2, it makes sense that one Minecraft player decided to make their own version of it in Mojang's game.
Minecraft Fan Has Great Idea to Make One Block Much Better
A Minecraft player makes a great suggestion for improving one of the blocks in the game and shares their inventive idea with the community.
Reddit user tinyrottedpig created a fully functional Destiny 2 Tormentor on their Minecraft server. The video, shared with the Destiny 2 community, shows the Tormentor jumping and launching a wave of attacks with its scythe, sometimes grabbing the player and throwing them away. According to them, the Tormentor was created using several plugins that converted a customized model into a Resource Pack. As a result, players who access their Minecraft server will find the Tormentor and a semi-faithful recreation of Destiny 2's Red War locations, which has over 180 pieces of equipment to collect, as well as functional weapons.
Creative Minecraft Player Reproduces Iconic Destiny 2 Enemy in Game
While Mod Packs are the most popular way for Minecraft players to add new features to the game, there are other ways to spice up gameplay, such as using Resource Packs. Formerly known as Texture Packs, Minecraft players use Resource Packs to add resources to the game without having to know how to program. In the case of the OP's Destiny 2 server, by using Resource Packs instead of Mod Packs, they allow players to join the server easily, without needing any additional downloads.
Tinyrottedpig's recreation of Destiny 2's Tormentor is impressive, but curiously, this isn't the first time the player has gone viral with their projects. The player previously made headlines by sharing the progress of their Destiny 2 server in Minecraft. This also isn't the first time players have brought Bungie's shooter to Minecraft, with previous projects including a complete recreation of Destiny 2, and locations such as Savathun's Throne World and the Last Wish raid.

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!
Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations.
Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
