Play Zedd's New Interactive Minecraft Rhythm Game, Courtesy of DoodleChaos

Zedd's passion for gaming has been manifested in this EDM and Minecraft crossover.

Following the release of their collaborative single "Funny," Zedd and Jasmine Thompson joined forces with DoodleChaos, a YouTube creator who synchronizes his immersive content to popular music, for an interactive Minecraft rhythm game set to the beat of the radio hit.

According to DoodleChaos, he spent a whopping 131 hours developing the project and fleshing out the unique collaboration with the Grammy Award-winning producer. After playing Beat Saber in VR, he set out to create a similar rhythm game in Minecraft "by hitting flowers with corresponding color swords."

Zedd urged fans to record themselves playing the game and use a dedicated hashtag, sharing a video of it in action. Watch that clip below. DoodleChaos also posted instructions on how to play his custom Minecraft map, which you can find beneath the video.
