Cool thing, but in the end it's nothing more special than Skype being able to call a cell phone.

yes

 

it basicly scales down the image about 90% , and for the color probobly , for example blue, when theres a pixel colored "blue" a certain block has a set value of the color blue value (RGB) and selects it

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Sample Text ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

i dont know, verzion made it.

 

 

EDIT: "In the world of Minecraft, almost everything is made of blocks. We’ve created a web application, Boxel, that translates real web pages and streaming video into blocks so they can be built on a Minecraft server in real time. Our server plugin uses Boxel-client to handle the communication between Minecraft and the real world as translated by the web application."
