Mojang Studios Uses Minecraft To Bring Real Historical Castles To Life
Mojang Studios has joined forces with the National Trust's Festival of Archeology to recreate the real-life Corfe Castle of Dorset, England in Minecraft. While Mojang’s blockbuster open-world title is primarily a survival game, players have used Minecraft’s sandbox to build their own creations out of a wide assortment of blocky materials, often recreating settings and characters from other games like Poppy Playtime and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the process.
Talented Minecraft players have also built impressive tributes to real-life locations like France’s Orléans Cathedral and the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, both capturing the locations they were inspired by with a stunning amount of detail. Others have built realistic Minecraft-made cityscapes that could easily be mistaken for actual photographs thanks to modern architecture blending well with Minecraft’s block-based esthetic. Now, Minecraft’s developers are actively working alongside historical organizations to remake actual historical landmarks inside the highly successful sandbox title.
