Minecraft Player Showcases Innovative Roller Coaster Design

Man, 2025 is shaping up to be quite the year for Minecraft. I stumbled across this wild new roller coaster build some player came up with thanks to the game’s updated leashing mechanics. It’s part of the latest update they named Chase the Skies. No clue who comes up with these names, but it kinda fits. Anyway, this update’s brought some cool stuff like the happy ghast mob. Never thought I’d call a ghast adorable, but here we are. And oh, they even added a player locator thingy. Handy, I guess, especially if you’re like me and always losing your buddies in multiplayer.

So, I was just thinking, Minecraft’s switched things up this past year. They’re ditching those big yearly updates for smaller “game drops.” Makes me wonder if it’s because people just can’t wait anymore or they love keeping us on our toes. Chase the Skies is all about that happy ghast. I mean, you can friend it, raise it, and even fly with it—soaring over your blocky world. Plus, they did this whole overhaul of how leads work. You can connect mobs, attach them to boats or minecarts, which got me wondering—what else can we leash? But wait, I’m getting off track here.

Right, so back to this build. This player, bjtgamingHELP, that’s their name apparently, shared this crazy “suspended roller coaster” thing online. They claim it’s the “world’s first,” and you know what? I kinda believe it. They used leads to hang a boat under a minecart, so you’re like, floating through your world. Might not actually be the first of its kind, but it’s still a neat way to zoom around. Can you imagine just swinging through the skies with your pet mob hitching a ride? Yeah, me neither, until now.

I keep circling back to the small stuff Minecraft introduced. It’s these little touches, like the happy ghast or the lead changes, that really shake things up. You wouldn’t think it’s a big deal, but then someone builds a roller coaster, and you’re like, “Wow, that escalated quickly!” I love how people just take these updates and run with them, dreaming up all kinds of creative chaos—like weaponizing a happy ghast. Who does that? But hey, if you can, why not, right?

And get this, it’s not just the gameplay that’s got a glow-up. They’ve rolled out these Vibrant Visuals on the Bedrock Edition. It’s making the game look, well, vibrant! Fancy new lighting, colors, water reflections—it’s like Minecraft’s having this artsy moment. It’s only on some platforms now, but they’re promising it’s coming to Java Edition too. Can’t wait to see what that’s all about.

Guess I’ve rambled enough, but it’s hard not to when the game’s throwing all these cool changes at us. Makes you wonder what’s next. Or maybe I’m just easily impressed—who knows.
