Jack Black’s "addiction" to Minecraft while filming gets revealed—fans say 100 hours is rookie numbers

In the most recent (and most real) news, Jack Black admitted he became seriously hooked on playing Minecraft on set, racking up more than 100 hours of gameplay on set. The Minecraft movie is set to drop soon and is already building headlines brick by brick- literally.

As the Minecraft cast piles on the talent and Jack digs himself into full-gamer mode, it's guaranteed this film is going to be anything but bare bones. Mojang’s senior director, Torfi Frans Ólafsson said:

"He was just completely manic, hoarding stuff in the mines, searching for lapis lazuli because he liked the way it sounds. He kept saying it: 'Can I talk about lapis lazuli in the movie?' "

As soon as the news came out someone took to his X account and commented:

" "100 hours" addicted lmao."

The Minecraft movie is building buzz one block - and one meme - at a time, thanks to Jack Black, who confessed he got "seriously addicted" to playing Minecraft on set, clocking in over 100 hours of playtime.

Jack and the Minecraft movie is already providing us with comedy gold, and the movie isn't even released yet- seriously, peak blockbuster energy.

The moment Jack Black's 100-hour Minecraft grind made it online, fans picked up their pickaxes and jumped headfirst into the comment mines - because when it comes to the Minecraft movie, nothing is too insignificant to meme.

From jokes about Jack Black's ingame abode to arguments over whether 100 hours constitutes addiction or merely "dedication," the fan responses were as wild and imaginative as a Creeper in a Redstone lab. Let's have a look at the most humorous gems the internet has created.
