Highlights
- A Minecraft player dedicates 10 years to creating an awe-inspiring world with 7 unique cities.
- They used creative mode and a third-party program for mountain creation, with additional detailing.
- The creator has plans to add more content and create new Minecraft worlds.
One clearly dedicated Minecraft player has recently shown off a world they've spent the last decade working on, and the reactions they're getting are filled with astonishment and wonder. Minecraft has grown into one of the most popular world-building games out there since its introduction in 2011, and players have put forth some truly awe-inspiring builds.
Minecraft supports a creative mode that gives players an infinite amount of resources to build nearly whatever they can imagine, which is how this player managed to pull off their impressive feat. Still, even with unlimited resources at hand, not all players can dream this big, nor do they have the amount of dedication required to devote ten years to building a single world.
This labor of love, shared on Reddit by user octavian_world, is massive in its scope, containing seven distinct cities with their own personalities, all spread across a landscape filled with tree-covered mountains in a variety of climates that reflect some of the biomes featured in Minecraft. The Appalachian imagery of sprawling green hills shared by this creator is a work of art that has fooled at least one mountain-dwelling resident, who stated in the comments that they thought they were looking at a real picture at first glance. The creator said they use a third-party program to help create the mountains, but they still terraform, landscape, and detail the verdant hills after the program generates them: a process that's taken since July 2023 to complete.
Minecraft Player's Incredible 10-Year-Old Creative World
As for the cities, each has a unique aesthetic, from a neon-drenched, futuristic cyber city to a foggy riverside burgh made distinct by its rustic steel suspension bridge. Some familiar real-world landmarks have been included in the worlds as well, such as the towering Space Needle from Seattle and a version of Cinderella's Castle that would fit perfectly into Disney World or Disney's Dreamlight Valley if it weren't for Minecraft's distinct, intentionally blocky art style. The world even has a functional system of mass transportation, sporting a unique railroad system that will help players venture out across its expansive swamplands, canyons, and other natural features, as well as its urban centers.
Anyone wanting to gallivant about in this world can find it, although it's locked behind the creator's Patreon (which can be found in their Reddit bio). This creator is currently taking a break from building, but even with the size of this world, they said they're planning to return and add more to it, as well as creating more Minecraft worlds.
