I suppose I&#8217;d call it the most impressive thing I&#8217;ve ever seen in Minecraft.  It&#8217;s a work of careful artistry, done on a massive scale. Working on a project like this is like a three-dimensional version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinspirationblog.net\/showcases\/the-wonderful-world-of-8-bit-art\/\">8-bit pixel art<\/a>, where the artist has to work on individual pixels while still being aware of how it will all look on the macro scale.  I&#8217;ve tried and failed many times to create this sort of architecture, so my appreciation might be borne of envy. I don&#8217;t know. Your mileage my vary. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s a lot of other impressive work going on.  I know that some of this stuff was not built by hand. There are some macro tools and some copy \/ paste commands available to some people, although I don&#8217;t know what those are or how they work.  Still, these structures are impressive no matter what tools were used to make them.  A painting is not artistically diminished if the painter used advanced brushes to make the task easier. It still takes talent to put your vision on the canvas. <\/p>\n<p>My own humble house makes an appearance at the seven-minute mark.  I was proud of it when it was built, but it&#8217;s kind of small and embarrassing compared to the ambitious projects that others have undertaken. <\/p>\n<p>Nice work to everyone who put so much work into the place. Slow clap. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a tour of things people have built on the Twentymine Minecraft Server.
