Building The Enterprise-D, One Block At A Time
Coming through the far end of madness into a kind of benevolent stupor, some dude built a 1:1 scale model of Star Trek: The Next Generation's U.S.S. Enterprise-D in Minecraft. Each block in the game is intended to be a meter on each side, and this guy took that information and ran with it. This thing is freaking enormous.
Why? Why not! Minecraft is a 10-Euro indie game that is still in its alpha stage, but developer Mojang Specifications has banked more than 600,000 Euros through sales already. The official site (and semi-official forums) has much more, but the short version is that Minecraft is a multiplayer-enabled, real-time, infinite, 3D box of LEGOs. With zombies. In which you can build a full-scale model of the starship Enterprise, if you're insane enough.
And who are we kidding? This is the Internet. Someone is always insane enough.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
