Minecraft is one of those games where you can play nightly for two months, creating elaborate castles and communities with your friends, haunting ocean temples and searching for The End, and then there… you haven’t touched it for six months. Until one day, you see someone doing something interesting in Minecraft and you think, “huh… it’s been a while. Maybe I should restart it?” And then you play every night for two months. Rinse and repeat.
I’m currently on a six-month lull with Minecraft, but this incredible project might be enough to draw me back (if I’m not planning on traveling for a month anyway).
Grazzy is a Minecraft-focused Youtuber and his channel is filled with Let’s Plays, tutorials, building and testing new features in updates. But until really Recently, his channel was a hit, taking him from just a thousand subscribers to over 60k in a few months.
What happened? Zelda happened.
Five months ago, Grazzy posted a video called “I’m building ALL Breath of the Wild in Minecraft (#1)“, and while it didn’t work very well at first (especially considering the hours of work he put in), it suddenly blew up and is currently hitting over 1 million views. But Grazzy won’t. posted part two until recently… and it turned out that he had to start all over again. From the beginning. Noisy.
Step one of building Breath of the Wild in Minecraft is importing an elevation map to import the terrain into Minecraft’s blocky world. Easy as pie! Step two is to build… everything else.
In the video at the beginning of this article, Grazzy maps the Great Plateau, Kakariko Village, Dueling Peak, Fort Hateno, and Hateno Village, among other nearby landmarks. Fortunately, a lot of Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule is just plains and jungles, so with the help of World Edit – a third-party software that allows you to make major changes with ease. ease, including built-in copy and paste capabilities. structure – Grazzy has managed to fill up a lot of terrain in a pretty quick way.
Of course, Grazzy has a long, long way to go, and the sequel will be Zora’s Domain and the rest of Faron. The sequel, he says, won’t take five months – “only about two months of which I’m actually working on the project” – and when it’s done, you’ll be able to load all the content into the game. Minecraft on its own.
