We’ve already seen Minecraft being played in Minecraft (opens in new tab), but now there’s a new game in town – DOOM.
A new post (opens in new tab) shows how Redditor uDrunkMate used the VM Computers mod to run DOOM from within their Minecraft game.

In related news, Minecraft fans have finally discovered the world seed for Minecraft’s most iconic world (opens in new tab) – the map that displays in the background behind the game’s title screen.

After the project lead, Tomlacko, learned “as much as [they] could about the panorama and it’s world (the version, world axis and the exact Z coordinate using clouds)”, they shared their findings on the Discord server of Minecraft@Home and just a month later, the seed was discovered.
