The overall structure is fairly large (32x48x32), and currently can&#8217;t be rotated. The default load position for the structure block is in the lower north-west corner of the structure, which corresponds to<br \/>\nThe structure names for the three arcade cabinets are: `maze:cabinet`, `snake:cabinet` and `paint:cabinet`. Make sure &#8220;Include Entities&#8221; is selected, or the cabinet won&#8217;t be playable!<\/p>\n<p>Once the cabinet is placed, you&#8217;ll need to turn it on by going inside and toggling the redstone lever.<\/p>\n<p>After that, you can use the buttons on the top of the cabinet to either start a new game or continue an old game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/I7xPXGQjghw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>**MC Paint**:<br \/>\nThis is more a proof of concept than anything, but is a simple arcade cabinet for drawing pictures.<br \/>\nUse movement keys to move the brush, and press jump to change the current pixel. To erase a pixel, press jump again.<br \/>\nPress the sprint key to cycle colors.<\/p>\n<p>**Snake:**<br \/>\nThis is a straightforward snake game. Try to grow longer without running into your own tail!<br \/>\nUse the movement keys to change direction, and the sprint key to restart if you die.<\/p>\n<p>**Pac-Mine:**<br \/>\nThis is a blockier Pac-Man clone. Clear all the tiles in the maze without getting caught by the creepers. Mine a gold block to frighten the creepers for a short time. Once the level is cleared, the game restarts with a faster game speed and shorter power-up time.<br \/>\nUse the movement keys to move. You can hold a key as you approach an intersection to turn as soon as you reach it. Press sprint to restart after you run out of lives.<\/p>\n<p>**Make Your Own:**<br \/>\nThe system is designed to be as straightforward as possible for creating your own arcade cabinet.<br \/>\nThe datapack for each game just needs two functions &#8211; a setup function and a ticking function. Create these from scratch or modify one of the existing ones.<br \/>\nThe datapack includes a handful of helper IO functions for reading player inputs, drawing blocks or items on the screen, and reading data or metadata from the screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Datapack based arcade cabinets in Minecraft!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17880,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"arcade_cabinets","_minecraft_project_id":"SjzbRcDh","_minecraft_author":"dqwertyc.dev","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":58,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"arcade_cabinets.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":105304,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T23:12:04.240248Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-09-28T21:05:26.164974Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2024-09-26T19:26:32.441992Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/arcade_cabinets","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":17880,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-05-31T19:48:20+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"4d663c3c08a752bb5ce25118f5e78f8d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,866],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[68],"class_list":["post-17879","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-minigame","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-24w38a"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
