A Minecraft user spent over 1,000 hours creating a complex Mediterranean island with a palace, cliffs, and other features.
A dedicated Minecraft player spent over 1,000 hours creating a complex Mediterranean island with distinct structures, cliffs, and a tall warrior statue. Minecraft’s progress hasn’t stopped since it was first released more than ten years ago, thanks to creator Mojang Studios’ continued support for all versions of the sandbox experience.
Caves and Cliffs Part 1 and 2 were two major updates for Minecraft in 2020, which changed the game on a molecular level. In June, Caves and Cliffs Part 1 was released, bringing additional creatures, blocks, goods, and plants. The second wave of features for the upgrade arrived much later in the year, bringing revised terrain generation, new tools, and extensive cave systems. Such radical modifications undoubtedly rejuvenated Minecraft in various ways, particularly for active users who frequent the game. But, of course, some of those regulars were already testing the limits of Minecraft’s built-in capabilities.
Ominous Hippopotamus, a Reddit user, has uploaded several screenshots of their incredible Minecraft Mediterranean island. When asked how much time they spent on the project, the Redditor said they spent roughly 1,000 hours on it, including “brainstorming, practice, failed projects,” and creating the final construct. The island is densely fortified, with a big castle among them. Even the cliffs and shoreline and the colossal warrior statue that stands over the Mediterranean setting received meticulous attention to detail. Take a closer look at the build with the screenshots below:
The Mediterranean oasis of Ominous Hippopotamus appears to have taken at least 1,000 hours of their time. And, in terms of intricate Minecraft creations, this is one of the most stunning displays in recent memory. Given the 2021 updates above, such inventions will likely get even more carefully developed over time.
Fan-made now and then, a Minecraft construct goes viral, with one recent work even managing to turn a massive Elmo statue into nightmare fuel. Members of the Minecraft community have also demonstrated their ability to recreate large-scale conflict scenarios, as evidenced by one person’s Vietnam War diorama depicting mid-fight action. Players of the Mojang Studios masterpiece continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in-game.
Minecraft is now available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, and iOS.
