Minecraft players on Discord is building Australia in a one-to-one ratio recreation of the planet.
Build The Earth is a global initiative by diehard Minecraft fans to build the planet one block city and country at a time. As they explain on their website: “One block in
Minecraft equates roughly to one metre in the real world, meaning that this project will fully recreate the size of our planet.”
It’s a pretty impressive project with an extensive network and logistical framework. Each country (and in some cases city) has its own build team, and they’re made up of local players that help make each recreated environment feel the most life-like and real.
