Minecraft Build Recreates New York City On A One To One Scale

A talented group of Minecraft players just built New York City on a one-to-one scale. Many Minecraft fans are extremely talented and have built very impressive cityscapes and buildings over the years. One player even built the entire Big Ben clock tower in Minecraft‘s survival mode.

There are many different ways that players can build in Minecraft. Some choose to build simplistic yet beautiful gardens and aquariums, while others build on a much larger scale and construct massive cities. Regardless, these builds are impressive given the attention to detail that the players have. Some players use different shaders and Minecraft mods to make their blocks look more lifelike and give the city that photorealistic look to it. Players have used these to recreate buildings around the world, like the Minecraft version of Vietnam’s tallest building that looks almost like a photo.

altmorty shared this one-to-one scale version of New York City in the Minecraft subreddit. The scale used means that one block equates to one meter, or roughly three feet, in the real world. This to-scale model is a perfect representation of the city and is available for players to explore and walk around in. Looking at the image feels as though one is looking at an actual picture of New York, except for some of the obvious blocks in the image. The group involved built streets, bridges, high rises, and train tracks. The attention to detail and the impressive scale of the build make this a truly remarkable build.

This build is part of a much bigger project happening in the Minecraft world called “Build The Earth.” This project’s goal is to build the entire world on a one-to-one scale and make sure that the detail is as close to real-life as possible. They are recruiting people to build different areas they are familiar with while also allowing people to walk around different areas that are currently built. The project has currently built about 6700 square kilometers, or about 2500 square miles, and there are nearly 4500 builds currently in progress.

This project is an extremely huge undertaking, which is currently recruiting people from all across the world to help out. It also encourages people to build areas they are familiar with and collaborate with other builders in their area. It will be exciting to see how long this project takes and whether or not it can be completed, of course, there will be areas that are not built, but hopefully, with the impressive skills of the Minecraft community, most of the world will be explorable.
