To solve these issues, PippenFTS has started a collective project called "Build The Earth" to get other Minecraft players to decorate the Earth with man-made structures, and also create an edge for the borders, fulfilling the centuries-old myth of being able to sail off the edge of the Earth. And at the South Pole, the world border merely shows an endless snowy wasteland - as the Minecraft model of Earth doesn't exactly curve.
Similarly, the peaks of some mountains which should have snow are currently bare, while glaciers which should contain ice register as just snowy terrain.
The problem is that this is only the first step to creating a fully-accurate world: human-generated structures are rebuilt by the mod as part of the landscape, so Egypt's pyramids just become. The video shows a number of vast landmarks realised in Minecraft, such as Mount Everest, the Grand Canyon, and Half Dome from Yosemite National Park in the US. The next stage is applying the Terra 1-1 mod, which takes information from geographical data archives (such as Google Maps) and converts it into Minecraft blocks. "With the Cubic Chunks mod breaking Minecraft's vertical limitations, we can now experience the Earth in Minecraft, just as it is, with no downscaling of any kind." Using Cubic Chunks "changes the shape of Minecraft chunks to 16x16x16 cube, giving you infinite build depth in both vertical directions". As explained by PippenFTS, Minecraft normally has a height limit of 255m, which would have made full-scale Earth terrain impossible. It's been made possible through the use of two mods, Terra 1-to-1 and Cubic Chunks. Seeing as nobody's going outside at the moment, it would be pretty great to have an entire version of Earth to explore in a video game, right?Įnter PippenFTS, a YouTuber who claims to have made a 1:1 scale version of the Earth in Minecraft for the very first time.
