Yesterday, we turned the spotlight on Sean Cantrell and his magnificent Mortal Kombat Lego. His blocky, toy inspired renders showed what might be if the world of Mortal Kombat were mere bricks and blocks. It was a wonderful proof of concept -- but what if you want to actually play with your toys?

Del Cottonwood is another industrious fan who has adapted the brutal world of Mortal Kombat into a simpler, blockier realm. Like Cantrell, he's adapted vast swaths of the Kombat cast, but in this case, they're downloadable skins for free-to-play sandbox sensation: Minecraft!

You would've had to have been lost in a pixelated underground cavern for the past few years to not know what Minecraft is. Launched in 2011; the stylized pixelated sandbox gives you a world of sky, water and earth to do with as you please. Its success has taken it to home consoles and driven an empire of paid alternatives, but the principle remains the same. Check out some of our favourites Minecraft Kombatants below:

That's right. Those are just some of our favourites. The Planet Minecraft mod maker has created & shared many more characters, including (but not limited to): Kano, Scorpion, Nightwolf, Shao Kahn. There are also multiple versions of characters -- including a couple inspired by Mortal Kombat: Legacy.

Del Cottonwood has also ventured into less official territory with characters taken from Defenders of the Realm, Malibu Comics & popular modding fan-fiction. While most are probably best left where they began, we couldn't pass up a couple of the ol' favourites:

You can find more download information by clicking on any of the characters pictured above, or by visiting Del Cottonwood's profile page. There's a massive library of character skins based on many other series, as well. Why not share your favourites on the forums?
