A Minecraft player and their son built an impressive jungle temple, showcasing the game's potential for stunning structures.
The popularity of Minecraft spans generations, with Reddit users praising the temple and suggesting new updates to enhance the game's architectural possibilities.

Showing how big things can come from a little bit of creativity and cooperation, one talented Minecraft player has shared a picture of the impressive jungle temple they built with their son over the course of a few days. Players have created some truly impressive structures in Mojang Studios’ block-based building title over the years, from this imposing jungle temple to a swashbuckling Minecraft pirate cove complete with ships.

Debuting on PC as one of gaming’s first early access success stories all the way back in 2011, Minecraft has grown over the years to become one of the best-selling video games of all time. Following Microsoft’s acquisition of developer Mojang Studios in 2014 for a whopping $2.5 billion, Minecraft has grown even larger, spawning multiple spin-offs along the way. Now available on practically any device capable of playing games, from consoles to mobile phones, Minecraft’s success shows no signs of slowing. Regularly playing home to cameos appearances from pop culture properties, Mojang recently announced that a new Minecraft and Disney crossover is currently in development.

In a great example of how Minecraft’s popularity now spans across multiple generations, a new post on the game’s subreddit features a picture of an incredible Minecraft jungle temple built by a player and their son. Shared by Reddit user LordBandimer, the post shows a sprawling stone temple reaching skyward from a dense jungle canopy. Covered with winding staircases and topped by an imposing tower, the weathered and run-down temple looks like it’s been sitting in the jungles of Minecraft for centuries. Giving credit to the architectural influences behind its design, LordBandimer said they were going for an Aztec or Mayan theme.

Reddit users responding to the post were wowed by the impressive Minecraft temple, with several replies complimenting LordBandimer and their son on their handiwork. Clearly enjoying the temple’s ruin-like appearance, one excited respondent stated that builds like this “are what I live for in this game.” Another Redditor chimed in to suggest that Mojang should release an architecture update for Minecraft that would populate players’ worlds with similar structures, giving gamers the opportunity to discover some long-lost temples of their own. For now, fans of the temple will have to be content with exterior shots as LordBandimer stated that they’re still working on its interior.

With its weathered appearance making it look like something out of an adventure game, this incredible jungle temple is a great example of the sorts of mind-blowing Minecraft builds players have assembled over the years. The fact that it’s also the result of a collaborative effort between a parent and their child just makes it that much more impressive.
