While A Minecraft Movie was being filmed, the producers set up a series of private servers for cast and crew to play Minecraft during the shoot. The most dedicated player by far was Jack Black, who clocked up 100 hours of playtime during filming. Originally cast as a talking pig but later promoted to the everyman player character Steve, the actor stayed up late to collect in-game lapis lazuli. “He was just completely manic, hoarding stuff in the mines,” one of the game’s developers told Variety. In his precious free hours outside of long filming days, Black might have wanted a break. But he had been enchanted by the same spell as hundreds of millions of players since the game first officially launched in 2011. Even if the film (which is released in cinemas this week) doesn’t end up pleasing critics, the game’s magic is undeniable. Once you start mining, it’s hard to stop.
在《Minecraft大電影》(A Minecraft Movie)拍攝期間，製片人專門設置了一系列私人伺服器，供演員和工作人員在拍攝期間玩《Minecraft》。最投入的玩家無疑是傑克•布萊克(Jack Black)，他在拍攝期間累計玩了100小時。最初他被選爲一個會說話的豬，但後來被提升爲普通玩家角色史蒂夫。這位演員熬夜收集遊戲中的青金石。「他完全是狂熱的，在礦井裏囤積東西，」遊戲的一位開發者告訴《綜藝》。在漫長的拍攝日之外的寶貴空閒時間裏，布萊克可能想要休息一下。但自從2011年遊戲正式發佈以來，他就被數億玩家所迷住的魔力所吸引。即使這部電影最終未能取悅評論家，遊戲的魔力也是不可否認的。一旦你開始挖礦，就很難停下來。
