"Looks like Van Gogh played Minecraft": Incredibly detailed art build leaves community in awe

Minecraft players have never failed to impress the game’s community with their brilliant builds. The game's sandbox nature and procedurally generated algorithm help players build almost anything their creativity allows. One such example was from Redditor IZekiez, who shared an image on the Minecraftbuilds subreddit. This large build looks like a painting of a man sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette.

While the image looks like a painting, it is completely made using different blocks.

Built this for a competition, the theme was Nostalgia byu/IZekiez inMinecraftbuilds

Reacting to this mega build, CountertopPizza commented:

"Hot damn! Looks like Van Gogh played Minecraft"

The original poster (OP) thanked them for the comment. Making artwork using blocks from the game is not easy, let alone a large structure with so much detail. mother_love- said that at this point, it's not just a game, it's art.

DRM-001 said that this build was stunning and they wish they had the talent to make something like this. TheKoolaidKat said for a moment, they thought it was something from the PixelArt subreddit. Metjin asked whether it was map art, to which the original poster replied that it was all built in 3D.

Players have come up with some of the most amazing builds. They have made large cities, towns, and even a large country with proper highway networks. This just goes to show how players have the passion and patience to build their ideas.

Another great example is the Build the Earth project, which aims to create the entire earth inside Minecraft at a 1:1 scale. Recently, a player shared some images on the subreddit showing how they built New York City as a part of the project.
