Strange Minecraft Bug is Turning Worlds Into Barbie Land

A Minecraft player online has shared strange footage of a glitch that appears to periodically turn their world into a Barbie land. Short of an official Barbie crossover for Minecraft, this bug is the next best thing at the moment.

Some people have even used the robust Minecraft sandbox to create the Barbie Dreamhouse. While these types of creations are all amazing, there's something special about a glitch being able to mimic this kind of effect.

Over twelve years after the game was first released, Mojang continues to
