On Reddit, a user going by Jesus_Keanu has shared pictures of the castle they designed in Minecraft, and their fellow Redditors and Minecraft fans were blown away. The castle sits on a raised piece of land that has been rounded off to create a platform with a stone staircase leading up to the building. The castle itself is at least a dozen stories, featuring multiple balconies, several towers, and lots of trees and other vegetation to keep everything cozy and pretty.

On Reddit, fans were heaping praise on the design and the dedication that it took to create it. It also got more than a few gamers talking about their own projects and styles. It seems that this castle may inspire plenty of players to jump back into the game and try a new build. Minecraft tops the list of games with incredible replayability, and designs like this and the community response to it show just why that is.

This castle stretching to the clouds certainly represents a remarkable achievement in terms of beauty. Of course, part of what makes Mojang's game so amazing is that its mechanics also allow for designs that are feats of engineering and in-game physics, rather than solely design and architecture. Recently, for example, a Minecraft player built a working version of Minesweeper in the game.

Even those without design or engineering skills can enjoy Minecraft by simply exploring and trying to survive. Indeed, Minecraft ranks among the best survival games ever for the way it forces players to quickly build shelter to survive against the monsters that come lurking at night. However one plays the game and whatever skills they possess, all fans can enjoy seeing the great work of others.

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!

Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations. 

Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
