Doomfist has arrived in Minecraft before he's even made it to Overwatch.

YouTuber and Minecraft wizard McMakistein recreated the Overwatch hero Doomfist in Minecraft, abilities and all, without using any mods. McMakistein explained on Reddit that he used over 400 command blocks (special blocks that allow you to execute a line of code in the game) to turn his player character into the gauntlet-wielding hero. All of Doomfist's punching powers work pretty well against the denizens of Minecraft.

Doomfist, revealed earlier this month, is still only playable in the PC-only public test region, and will be coming out on all platforms July 27.
