While this recreation of Savathun’s Throne World lacks the graphical depth ofDestiny 2, the attention to small details makes up for that in spades.
Patrol Zones are a staple feature ofDestiny 2expansionsthat serve as semi-open-world, explorable zones where players can embark on short patrol quests, radiant world events, hunt for secrets, and much more. Savathun’s Throne World is one such location that was introduced withThe Witch Queenexpansion, created by Savathun herself when she and her Lucent Brood received their Light-based powers from The Traveler. Savathun’s Throne World is quite beautiful to behold, with the many spires and the Wellspring piercing the heaven, the blinding white colored buildings sharply contrasted by the skybox shaded in dark green and black, and a Pyramid Ship in the distance representing Savathun’s duplicitous allegiances.

The level of detail in Savathun’s Throne World is unmatched. However, aMinecraftplayer has come close, as evidenced by a post on theDestiny 2subreddit. Accompanied by a string of 16 screenshots, aDestiny 2player named Jokow_ has posted the works of their friend xXlolboyX, showcasing a recreation of the Throne World inMinecraftin painstaking detail. The screenshots demonstrate various locations inside the Queen’s Bailey, complete with light fixtures and flora, in a nighttime setting. xXlolboyX elaborates that the two-month-long project began with a handmade island as the foundation for the Throne World. The screenshots feature an appearance fromMinecraft’s iconic Ender Dragon, which isn’t exactly lore-accurate but contributes to the overall presentation.
Unsurprisingly, the post has garnered over 2,200 upvotes, with fans of both titles showering the project with praise and admiration, and one player even proclaimed xXlolboyX’s craftsmanship comparable to Savathun herself. Several players have mentioned the small details, such as the accurate placement of trees and fire cauldrons, the light fixtures illuminating the caverns, and even the Shriekers that add to the wonder of the Throne World. The showcase has spurred many players to realize thatDestiny 2could benefit from a day-night cycle and howMinecraftcan equally benefit from customizable skyboxes.
