A Minecraft player has created an impressive arch in their Hardcore world that features a neat twist: it includes many of the game's biomes. This unusual project has caught the attention of numerous gamers in the Minecraft community, with many commenting on the novelty of the design.
One of the appeals of Minecraft is its varied landscapes that players can explore and build in while playing the game. While the number of biomes early on was somewhat limited, the game now boasts an array of environments for adventurous players to check out. For example, the developer recently added the Cherry Grove biome in the Trails and Tales update, bringing the vibrant cherry blossom trees to the game. Recently, one player decided to showcase the variety of terrain the game has to offer all in one place.
Using the shape of an arch, a Reddit user known as Colbrow created a build that featured many of the game's biomes. They then shared a brief video on Reddit that showcased the structure, gaining thousands of upvotes in only a few hours. This impressive clip was made using the Replay mod and gave a closer look at the stunning design. Impressively, the creator included a large variety of biomes, such as the new Cherry Grove, along with classics like Desert and Forest biomes. Furthermore, the arch featured Nether biomes and even the Deep Dark.
In addition to showcasing the build in a brief clip on Reddit, Colbrow made a comprehensive YouTube video that detailed the creation process. According to the creator, the impressive structure was made in a Minecraft Hardcore world, adding to the difficulty of the project. One challenge the builder faced included needing to use fireworks and scaffolding to reach the required areas of the structure to create the environments. They also had to search out the various biomes featured in the piece in order to collect resources to use in the build. When it was finally completed, Colbrow noted the project had taken them around 50 hours.
In the Reddit comments, users referenced the similarities to the ring-shaped artificial worlds seen in the Halo series, which Colbrow confirmed were a significant source of inspiration. The creation was widely praised by the community, with some prodding the creator to take the next step and build a floating ring, fully embracing the Halo theme.
As this latest creation from Colbrow showcases, the variety of environments in Minecraft is immense. In addition, it raises the question of which biome Mojang will choose to introduce next to the game. While the developer recently hosted Minecraft Live, which revealed some new content coming in 2024, the next biome remains largely a mystery. Time will tell what the developers decide to add to the game in the inevitable updates to come.
