Summary
- Reddit user IzElzzie built an impressive and spooky city called "Gravestone" using Minecraft's creative mode.
- The positive response to IzElzzie's creation has inspired them to possibly make their spooky city accessible for others to explore in the future.
A creative Minecraft player has built an impressive, spooky city in their in-game world, and the result is mind-blowing. Minecraft's building mechanisms allow players to easily create personalized worlds beyond human imagination. As one of the biggest games in regards to map size, Minecraft gives players a sprawling space to build all sorts of creative worlds and cities with near-infinite possibilities.
Minecraft has one of the best level creators in video games, allowing players to step into the shoes of game designers and create their own custom maps through the creative mode. The creative freedom of Minecraft has led to players building interesting projects, from public transportation to entire beach houses. Over the years, Minecraft fans have taken to social media to show off unique builds and designs that took weeks, months, and even years to complete. For instance, at the beginning of the year, a player built an impressive snowy mountain in Minecraft. Some unique projects have even gone as far as to make functioning trains complete with carriages.
Minecraft Player Builds Incredible Recreation of the Solar System
The solar system is recreated in Minecraft due to the talents of one player, showing what the planets and the Sun look like in the game.
Inspirations from video games, movies, history, culture, and religion are not uncommon in Minecraft, with one dedicated player creating a mind-bending Minecraft city inspired by Inception. Another fan, Reddit user IzElzzie, shared their incredible spooky city with the Minecraft community, which they have named “Gravestone, the city of purgatory.” The city has an eerie and dark atmosphere and is designed like an underworld, featuring a streetway in the middle and buildings on either side. According to IzElzzie, the city is a graveyard where everyone goes when they die, hence the narrow, dark streets for the dead to roam. IzElzzie also shared the inspiration and story behind the build in a comment, stating that the city of purgatory was created by a God (Emos) as a threshold between the living and dead.
Fans Ask to Explore Spooky City
Minecraft fans were utterly impressed by this build, with many asking IzElzzie to make the world accessible for exploration. The screenshots show a clear distinction between the world of the living and the dead. The living have sufficient sunlight and plenty of greenery, while those in the graveyard have no greenery and are surrounded by darkness and a sinister vibe and atmosphere. This isn't the first spooky creation in Minecraft, as another player built a spooky Halloween Castle in Minecraft last year.
According to comments from the Reddit post, IzElzzie plans to make "Graveyard, the city of purgatory" a creative map other players can access and explore. Astonished by the positive response, IzElzzie plans to upload the build on Minecraft's Java edition, which is quite popular among PC players.
Minecraft
- Released
- November 18, 2011
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!
