Seven Spectacular Minecraft Creations
Seven amazing Minecraft creations by Joe Miller Technology reporter
Many of us will recall being first introduced to Minecraft by Microsoft when it announced it would pay $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) for the company that developed the most-popular video game.
For many years, a dedicated community has been working on intricate cyberspace wonders in Minecraft for a long time.
Here are seven of the top:
Game of Thrones
Mapmakers WesterosCraft is on a mission: to recreate the world George RR Martin created in the Game of Thrones books. The goal is to create an environment for role-playing in the fantasy world.
A working 16-bit computer
A Minecraft gamer who goes by the username ohmganesha built a functioning 16-bit computer in only two weeks. The virtual machine includes 32 bytes of RAM (random-access memory) and an ROM of 256 bytes (read-only memory).
This Cathedral
Patrix the architect of the structure claimed that it took him only a few nights to build. He added that he had never been to a cathedral in real life. Bankadda
A hard drive that is functional
Cody Littley's drive can store just a single kilobyte information, which could seem unimpressive when compared with normal discs, until you consider that Mr. Littley is a computer science PhD student in Texas built it piece-by piece.
An entire city
The Aurora City Project artists admit that the project may never be finished. However, the intricate cityscapes show why. Here are a few photos.
All of Denmark
The Danish government's attempt to get the entire country mapped on Minecraft was initiated to educate children. The project was later vandalized and a portion of the landscape were destroyed with virtual "dynamite".
A playable guitar
