Customizing Minecraft with mods is a large part of the charm of Mojang's game, and there's no shortage of mod options, such as those that add backpacks, jetpacks, or even weapons used by Marvel heroes. Players can find a range of mods turning Minecraft into a totally different game, be it an RPG, a sports game, or a tense horror title. Recently, a Minecraft player presented one of these mods that significantly changes the game and is ideal for players who like heart-pounding action.

Reddit user AjCyrillDy shared a video showing the mod that turns Minecraft into a World War 2 game. Known as BlockFront, the video shows parts of combat with many explosions and environmental destruction. The video also features combat with numerous firearms and even a katana, a war atmosphere with planes flying, and clashes between players in tanks. Another aspect highlighted in the video is the mod's sound design, which deepens the experience even further with NPCs shouting in German and impressive explosions caused by bombs and gunfire. The result is a mod that adds frantic action and gameplay to Minecraft, capable of impressing fans of Mojang's game and players of other games set in World War 2.

In BlockFront, players will find a variety of maps, like Stalingrad, Normandy, and Berlin. According to the developers, the goal is to offer an engaging experience with realistic terrain and buildings. To achieve this, the mod features a variety of vehicles and weapons from World War 2, such as rifles and submachine guns. Each weapon has its own status and effects, and Minecraft players can set up their loadout as they wish. In the comments of the video, several players recognized the mod and commented with praise for it. One of the Redditors noted that the mod resembles old Call of Duty games, to which a second comment explained that according to the mod's developer, this is the idea.

BlockFront is a mod that impresses because it creates an atmosphere similar to shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield while keeping Minecraft's friendly aesthetic. With work dedicated to reproducing iconic locations from the Second World War, combined with distinctive sound design, BlockFront is a good option for Minecraft players looking for a highly unique game adaptation of World War 2.

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!
