0:23Jordan begins in a side-scrolling world, breaks his pickaxe and receives a warning that realism is banned.
1:44A fictional cease-and-desist letter threatens a ban, followed by an attack from in-game Mojang interns.
3:48A demand for real sleep sends Jordan to a mattress in his room.
9:21The Realism Suit upgrade brings a haptic vest that responds when his avatar takes damage.
11:08Jordan puts on a VR headset to aim and throw an Ender Pearl.
18:41The next major transformation arrives as the realism meter reaches its penultimate stage.

"What do you mean real sleep? It is a video game!" EYstreem protests. Then he sets up a mattress in his room and gets under the covers. Apparently, upgrading Minecraft's graphics also means doing the sleeping yourself.

That is the running joke in "Minecraft But It's Only 1 Realistic Block!", which drew nearly half a million views since yesterday. Jordan starts in a flat, side-scrolling world, mining his way towards increasingly realistic surroundings. But each upgrade brings demands that a sharper texture pack cannot solve.

There is a plot trying to stop him, too: a floating Mojang headquarters, an in-game cease-and-desist letter and waves of attacking interns. These are characters and threats within the customised comedy adventure, not an actual intervention by Minecraft's developer.

The most revealing upgrades happen on Jordan's side of the screen. A "Realism Suit" means putting on a haptic vest that delivers feedback when his avatar takes damage. Later, throwing an Ender Pearl requires a VR headset and some physical aiming. The challenge keeps turning ordinary button presses into things he has to do himself.

Eventually, the familiar blocks give way to a Grand Theft Auto-style city, with Minecraft items brought along to cause trouble. Viewers are debating that GTA resemblance in the comments, while another recurring detail is rather more domestic: Jordan really did stop playing to act out bedtime.
