Minecraft One Block thumbnails
OneBlock is the most recognisable setting in Minecraft: one block floating in the void. That makes the thumbnail easy to read and easy to get wrong — the block, the player and the empty space around them are the whole composition.

Let the void breathe

OneBlock plus lucky blocks, plus a mod, plus a challenge: put the second idea on the block itself.
