Minecraft players attempting to replicate the Earth in-game share first look of Taj Mahal

A YouTuber named PippenFTS started Minecraft's most expansive and largest project to build the Earth 1:1 scale in Minecraft one year ago. Each block in Minecraft is almost equal to one meter in real life, making it theoretically possible to complete this project.

Players from any part of the world can contribute to this project by participating through their official website. In a year, the Build Earth Minecraft community has made cities such as London, Singapore, downtown Buenos Aires, and buildings like the Piano House China, among others.

Vanilla Minecraft (till version 1.17) has a build limit of 256 blocks, roughly equal to 256 meters in real life. But structures like Mount Everest are more than 8800 meters high. To create these structures, builders use mods such as Cubic chunk and Terra 1-to-1 mod.
