A person, Adam, makes a diorama of a Minecraft cave using colored clay. He starts by creating small clay cubes in various colors, which he then assembles into a cube structure. To ensure the cubes are uniform, he creates a custom cutting tool. After baking and gluing the cubes together, he builds a frame to support the structure and adds details like greenery, vines, and a water feature with resin. He also creates small creatures like axolotls and a creeper to inhabit the cave. Finally, he adds finishing touches, including trees and a grassy area, and showcases his completed diorama.

5. He cut a straight line down the center of the sheets to create a flat edge.
6. The clay sheets were then sandwiched between the MDF and cut to create square unbaked clay worms.
7. The worms were baked in the oven to cure.
8. Adam's plan was to create a cube of cubes 16 cubes high and 16 cubes wide.
9. To ensure uniformity, Adam used a next-gen cube cutting prototype provided by friends at NASA.
10. The prototype used a tungsten-reinforced Stanley knife blade to chop down on the exposed cube tube.
11. Adam repeated the process for 14 hours to create enough cubes.
12. He used a frame to keep the blocks in place while gluing them together.
13. Adam added greenery to the project by gluing small blocks of clay in place.
14. He created vines using green clay and brown clay.
15. The vines were baked in the oven and then glued together.
16. Adam added UV resin to the project to create a water effect.
