Summary
AMinecraftplayer has created an incredible city inspired by historical Greek locations using the many materials available in the game. Since the game was released,Minecraftfans have shared their unique locations, but this may be among the most memorable.
Minecraftwas released many years ago, but it continues to be updated to this day. As Mojang expands on the foundations of the game, new resources are added and expand upon the available building blocks. Using the materials, players have built impressive things likea Separatist Starship fromStar Wars,Lord of the Rings' Rivendell, and a recreation of the solar system. Redstone further enables players to create automated farms, mini-games, and fast transportation. One gamer has used the available resources to replicate an impressive ancient Greek city.
Reddit user ThaMango recently shared an aerial screenshot of theirMinecraftGreek city. Unlike modern Greek cities, this one is notably based on ancient Greek locations which is emphasized by the red roofs. Like the island of Greece, this location is also surrounded by ships that are likely leaving or returning to the port. The island is cluttered with hundreds of smaller buildings, and the city includes key locations like the Colosseum, an amphitheater, multiple docks, a temple, and a massive statue dedicated to one ofthe Greek Gods. Half of the island features a fortified wall, with large braziers on one side and small towers on the other.
How Was This Greek City Built?
The bright colors of this Greek city make it resemble anAge of Mythologylocation. Beyond this creation,Minecraftalso features a Greek texture pack which includes similar locations, massive statues, Mount Olympus, and character skins. According to ThaMango, this Greek city was built without the texture pack, and they used Creative mode and tools like WorldEdit instead. While it’s possible to make such an area inMinecraftSurvival, the massive material requirements would result in a lot of resource gathering. Without having used the Greek Mythology texture pack in this build, the gamer highlights what’s possible with basic materials.
While ThaMango has admitted to using WorldEdit, they haven’t specified the use of any texture packs. Although the vibrant colors of the Greek city could be possible with basic resources, the clouds in the foreground suggest that something is being used to make it look more realistic. With how many texture packs are available intheMinecraftMarketplace, the gamer wouldn’t need the Greek Mythology one to capture the same aesthetic.
