In the world of gaming,Minecraftis a shining example of how to make something with such longevity that younger people have practically grown up on it. WithMojang about to release the long awaited The Wild updatesoon, the studio is only too keen to make sure millions continue to make the most of the low-res landscape and create all sorts of structures. Given how huge it all is, it’s not surprising that people are willing to take up as much space as they can to showcase their creative skills.
Take user oberneutnant, for example. On theMinecraftsubreddit, they’ve uploaded a series of photos that show off a rather sizeable project that they’ve been working on, namely a giant maze. According to the title in the post, it measures 601 by 601 squares. Given that one block in the game is one meter in size, that means this maze measures over 600 meters squared. That’s a lot of maze to play around in, and its creator has made it public, so others can download the map and see if they can beat it themselves.

Creating agiant maze inMinecraftis not something that’s too uncommon, but it’s still an impressive build all the same. The blocky nature of the world does lend itself to that very angular style of standard mazes. This specific one has also been designed with a fantasy theme in mind. The construction isn’t just a series of green hedges, either. There are a few buildings dotted around, as well as what looks like a graveyard and a large tree. However, it’s the sheer size of it that’s most impressive, with the download page describing the maze as being “very difficult” to complete. Moreimages can be found on the Reddit thread here.
In general,Minecraftplayers love to create giant builds. With a world that’s many times larger than Earth itself, there is just so much landscape for players to mess around in that building huge structures is an inevitability. They take time, patience, and skill, but what the community often showcases is proof of the creative abilties of the game’s player base.
For that reason, and many more, it’s hardly surprising thatMinecraftisone of the highest grossing video games of all time, selling hundreds of millions of copies. Providing that users like oberneutnant continue to engage in such impressive projects, Mojang’s sandbox IP will continue to be a roaring, global success.
Minecraftis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
