Lord of the Rings fan salaamtom shared a series of images showcasing their full-scale recreation of Rivendell in Minecraft. Rivendell is one of the Elven cities of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings and can be seen in the Peter Jackson movies. Utilizing a painting based on the representation of Rivendell in the films, salaamtom spent approximately 10 hours recreating the iconic Elven city with the extensive creation tools in Minecraft. Fans of Tolkien have praised the Minecraft creation, particularly appreciating the intricate details, such as the rounded archways, sloped rooftops, and the cascading waterfalls. While there have been a number of games based on The Lord of the Rings, they rarely allow fans to visit Rivendell, leading many to hope that the schematics for this incredible Minecraft build will be shared so that others can enjoy its splendor.

Minecraft Continues To Resonate With Fans Of Beloved Franchises

Fans beyond the realm of gaming often voice their appreciation for the impressive builds of Minecraft players, particularly when those creations are inspired by beloved pop culture franchises. Harry Potter fans have enjoyed incredible recreations of Hogwarts castle in Minecraft, and Nintendo players have shared a number of playable Mario Kart tracks over the years. Thanks to the variety of materials and the breadth of control with creation tools, players have found that almost any structure from reality or fantasy can be recreated in Minecraft. Landmarks like the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower are among the more popular "real world" Minecraft builds, though pop culture icons like Rivendell, Rainbow Road, and more continue to bring together communities across fandoms.

With Minecraft releasing Marketplace Pass, players can now share popular community content and access more creator items, further expanding upon the game's already extensive building tools and creative possibilities. From franchises like The Lord of the Rings to wholly original concepts, fans continue to take advantage of the game's intuitive mechanics to bring their imaginations to life in Minecraft.

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!
