Recently, a player known as Loafboyrye on Reddit shared a photo of a duck he took in-game. Although the design was relatively simple, it looked remarkably similar to the real-world animal. Based on the image, the player used several common blocks in Minecraft to build their version of the duck. Specifically, the design had cobblestone, wood, grass, and what appeared to be calcined. The Reddit user also chose a combination of planks, ladders, and regular blocks to make the duck shape. They also used buttons for the bird's eyes. Beyond reproducing the shape of a duck, Loafboyrye showed what it might look like embedded in a game world: their duck was placed in a body of water next to a lily.
