Minecraft: La fantasien løpe løs

Minecraft is the top-selling video game of all time with nearly 230 million copies sold so far. Its appeal stems from the fact that this is a sandbox game, which allows players to unleash their creativity. Minecraft allows you to explore a completely new 3D universe where everything is possible.

And we mean it - this is a universe in which you may create anything from cities the size of Los Angeles to smaller projects like a ship in a bottle.

Unsurprisingly, a large number of Minecraft players have already done so. Their works are incredible and will blow your mind. Keep reading to discover our selections for the most amazing Minecraft creations ever.

Casino Resort

One may argue that it’s not too hard to recreate something that already exists in real life. But what about creating something from scratch? A Minecraft player named Chloriz did exactly that – they created a virtual casino based on their own blueprints.

Not only does the building look impressive with a reception area, bars, and restaurants, but this place also has a vast casino floor. That’s where the characters are meant to play casino games such as roulette and poker.

Westeros (Game of Thrones)

One of the most impressive projects ever conducted by Minecraft players is the construction of Westeros, a fictional world from the Game of Thrones. George R. R. Martin created this world in his fantasy novels and Minecraft players recreated it in the game. A group of GOT-loving Minecraft players met on a server called WesterosCraft, which is where the idea for the in-game version of Westeros was born. They joined forces and created a Minecraft version of the fictional world, the size of which is 59k x 22k blocks. If Minecraft was real-life, the creation would be over 500 square miles in area, which is roughly the same size as Los Angeles.

USS Enterprise (Star Trek)

Minecraft players seem to love recreating iconic items from popular works of fiction. Minecraft Westeros is arguably the most impressive example, but there are many others that deserve praise. The USS Enterprise, for instance, created by a self-professed Trekkie with the username AstralSapphire, is a true piece of art. The iconic starship is just one of many Star Trek builds at Planet Minecraft, a platform where you can find all sorts of similar projects. All Minecraft maps available on that site are free to download.

The Acropolis

Not only are fictional constructions popular among Minecraft geeks. Some of them also like recreating real-life buildings in the virtual universe. One of the most common choices is the iconic Acropolis. Located on a hill above Athens, this historical landmark saw many versions of itself in Minecraft, the most impressive of which – in our opinion – is the one created by a user called Scipio Aemilianus.

The same user created many other maps inspired by ancient buildings, including the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, the Pharos of Alexandria, and many others. You can find all of those maps on Planet Minecraft.

Fruit Machine

Minecraft is a game that really lets your imagination run wild. In this virtual universe, you can recreate real-life buildings or invent a build of your own from scratch. And even that is not the end – you can also create smaller, yet equally complicated objects. A Reddit user called NilsGotSkills did exactly that. Their creation was a slot machine made of Redstone. It works by the same principle as any other slot in the world – you make a wager and hope for a winning pattern to come up.

The only difference between a real-life fruit machine and the one created by NilsGotSkills is that in order to gamble in Minecraft, you’re supposed to wager virtual diamonds rather than real money. The fruit machine looks easy to use, but we bet it was incredibly complicated to create.

A Ship in a Bottle

Everyone knows how hard it is to make a ship in a bottle in real life. Now imagine doing it in Minecraft. Well, you don’t have to imagine anything because one player has already done it.

A gaming Youtuber whose channel is called BlunderCraft has uploaded a video from a couple of years ago which shows the construction of a boat in a bottle in Minecraft. The same channel has a few other interesting videos, such as this tutorial on how to construct a pirate town in Minecraft.

Final Thoughts

Minecraft's creativity is truly amazing. There is no limit to what may be achieved, and it is no surprise that it is the world's best-selling game genre ever. Minecraft is a nonviolent and educational game that is widely considered to be one of the greatest. It teaches users the principles of programming, teamwork, problem-solving, and project management while also encouraging innovation and thinking outside the box.
