Minecraft User Creates Scale Model Of Earth
I was going to start off this post by saying that we weren't going to make a habit out of posting every amazing thing that Minecraft users are doing in the game, but it appears that I'm too late. That said, this one is too cool to pass up. Someone has basically created our entire stupid planet in the game.
YouTube user Roddds469 grabbed NASA height-map data and imported it into a 1,000 by 500 block scale model of the planet. He says that he plans on making a larger version now that he's had a chance to experiment with the process. Check it out below.

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.
