'Sweet Liberty, the automatons are invading Minecraft!' Helldivers 2 player commemorates the game's most famous battle by recreating it in Mojang's survival game

Helldivers 2's Malevelon Creek recreated in Minecraft. A blocky Helldiver runs throug an automaton base, with glowing red dropships hovering overhead.

This week, Helldivers 2 celebrated the first anniversary of Malevelon Creek, the game's most famous battle that saw participants holding the line on the jungle planet against a massive automaton incursion. A new robot offensive to take the Creek is currently ongoing. But despite having a war to fight, one errant helldiver chose to commemorate the battle outside of the game entirely, recreating Malevelon Creek in Minecraft.

That player is Helldivers 2 YouTuber Red Monster Thing, who posted a video of his bespoke Malevelon Creek map earlier this week (via Reddit). And I have to say, it's an impressive creation. The map features detailed recreations of automaton factories, complete with buildings like laser gun turrets, signal disrupters, and the eye of Sauron-style detector towers.
