[WATCH] We spent 5 YEARS building NEW YORK CITY in Minecraft

This video showcases BuildTheEarth NYC, a monumental five-year project to recreate New York City in Minecraft at a 1:1 scale. Over 50,000 buildings have been meticulously crafted across Lower Manhattan by a dedicated team of builders. The video takes viewers on a tour through various districts, highlighting the evolution of areas like the World Trade Center, Tribeca, Two Bridges, Little Italy, Chinatown, and Civic Center. It emphasizes the intricate detail put into each building and street, even adjusting for real-world elevation. The project also extends to residential areas in boroughs like Queens.
