Fans of Minecraft are wasting no time using the game’s newest building material, grimstone, to create some truly awesome (and ominous) new structures ahead of the upcoming Caves and Cliffs update. Only a few days after grimstone popped up in material menus in the latest snapshot for Minecraft’s Java edition, PC players who have been able to try out the newest features before its official launch later this year are posting on Reddit to show off what the new dark blocks can really do — and it’s appropriately sinister, to say the least.

Minecraft’s ever-expanding menu of available building materials was always particularly hefty, and allowed for a pretty broad range of creative freedom for players looking to build or recreate structures in-game, but many felt that the variety was a bit lacking when it came to black or dark materials. So when grimstone was first showed off as an unnamed block at Minecraft Live 2020, players were understandably stoked about the upcoming update. The snapshot of the update, the tenth so far for Java Edition 1.17, debuted on February 17, and brought a few tweaks to world generation (particularly mineral generation), ore textures, beacon visibility, and structure generation for players to test out before the update’s proper launch sometime in the middle of the year. Those who have been taken the time to check out and provide feedback on the new features also got the chance to see how grimstone will look when it’s utilized as a building material, with some posting their work on Reddit.

Redditor nrgmix was one of those players who decided to try out the snapshot, and with a clever mix of the new grimstone and amethyst, a block released in an earlier snapshot, built what they rather aptly describe as a “grim portal” — an imposing, skull-shaped gateway to some mystical, otherworldly realm, flanked with Wither skulls to enhance the build’s already sinister vibe. They posted their creation on Reddit to an enthusiastic response, with prominent Minecraft commentators like xisumatwo on YouTube taking note. Check out the grim portal below:

It’s pretty good feedback for Mojang as to whether or not grimstone would be a popular build material, but it additionally does raise some interesting ideas about how Mojang can utilize it in the future. After all, Minecraft already has End Portals and Nether Portals, so a Grim Portal wouldn’t be too far off the mark. Additionally, nrgmix’s portal makes a great case for amethyst too, which is helping to alleviate the game’s woeful lack of anything purple.

There’s still no release date set for the Caves and Cliffs update beyond the promised “middle of 2021,” so Java edition players are so far the only ones who can check out grimstone for the time being. But from what players like nrgmix have shown, it’ll definitely be worth the wait.
