YouTuber's PippenFTS plays the role of the flag of 'Build The Earth', a magnificent project that creates the earth with Minecraft . It is already in shape to some extent, and when you play the following movie posted by PippenFTS, you can see that Everest, Grand Canyon, plains in Japan, etc. are made with Minecraft.

The following is a scene of climbing Everest reproduced in 'Build The Earth'. You can see that the snowy mountains are formed by Minecraft blocks.

Of course, manually stacking blocks one by one can take a tremendous amount of time. Active in that, the

MOD `` Terra 1 to 1 '' that creates a map in real time from the altitude data of the earth provided online and the ` ` OpenCubicChunks '' MOD that lifts the height limit in the game .

This makes it possible to express almost infinite height.

Everest, which can reach an altitude of 8848m, can now be spawned in the world of Minecraft, where

normally only 255 layers can be stacked .

In addition, Grand Canyon and ...

Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, USA

Japanese plains facing the sea

Iceland Plateau

Road to Hana on Maui, Hawaii

It has been reproduced in Minecraft up to Antarctica.

However, the whole earth is not perfect. For example, the following is an Egyptian pyramid, but it is just a pile of clay that does not look like the real thing.

In addition, the weather information is not sufficiently reproduced, such as

Mt. Rainier, which is supposed to be closed by snow, is covered with green on one side.

Since the world of Minecraft is flat, it is impossible to make a spherical earth. Beyond the North Pole, which is the edge of the map, a mere snowfield continues.

Therefore, PippenFTS worked on the uniqueness of the virtual world, making the end of the world a majestic cliff.

Another problem is that buildings and other artifacts are not represented, and cities are just grasslands.

Therefore, many friends gather under Mr. PippenFTS and try to reproduce cities around the world. There have already been

reports of the building of ' The Capitol Hill in Washington, DC ' and the ' Sagrada Familia ' in the subredit ' BuildTheEarth ' launched on the online bulletin board Reddit.

In addition, in order to maintain huge server costs, crowdfunding platform Patreon is looking for investment from $ 2 (about 210 yen) to $ 50 (about 5300 yen) per month, and depending on the amount invested, go to a special channel Benefits such as access to your account and adding a name to your credits.
