Minecraft Plays on Unlikely Device Sparks Controversy

24 Nov 2025

A YouTuber known as smill has garnered attention by playing Minecraft at an incredibly slow 0.5 frames per second on a highly unusual device—a receipt printer. This peculiar setup involves the printer outputting a screenshot every two seconds, resulting in blurry images where important game elements are barely legible.

Unusual Gaming Setup

Smill's innovative use of a receipt printer for gaming has captivated his 50,000 YouTube subscribers, who have followed his unconventional gaming challenges in the past. The stunt's allure comes largely from the unexpected nature of the device chosen for the game—far from the typical gaming console or PC setup.

Environmental Concerns Emerge

While the creative feat has increased smill's visibility online, with the video going viral, it also sparked criticism over environmental issues. Critics point out the wasteful use of receipt paper, which is not recyclable due to chemical treatments. Many viewers have expressed concerns about the environmental impact of the stunt.

In response to the backlash, smill offered a lighthearted remark, replying "funny" and playfully commenting "I just love deforestation." Despite this, followers continue to applaud his dedication to quirky, albeit pricey, gaming endeavors that challenge traditional practices.
