I think it’s because building and playing the game is sort of like working with LEGO bricks. So much of the fascination is how much gameplay and design you can get with the most primitive shapes. Now, you can bring some of that same style to your house with these Minecraft-inspired tissue boxes.

Yep, you heard me right. Minecraft and Kleenex. They go together like peanut butter lima beans and chocolate rutabagas. Or something like that. Sure, it doesn’t really make all that much sense. I suppose the fact that the Kleenex box is a cube and Minecraft has cubes makes it somehow work, even if it is pretty much nonsensical.

Snotty Bots is offering these custom-printed canvas cubes in Grass/Dirt, Moss Stone, TNT, Dispenser Cube and Creeper variants for $15 (USD) each.

The box slips over the top of a standard box of tissues, and dispenses them from the cartridge slot.

Amazingly, these are official Nintendo-licensed accessories. They originally sold for about $30 each, but you can now find them for just $9.99 each from MugenToys.
