This is what progress on a Minecraft survival map looks like. The GIF was made by redditor plexigras who, along with several other redditors, is playing on a map called FinalNewWorld (named after the seed used to generate it). Read more

Manhattan's Sony Tower, slightly modified, in Minecraft form. Built by Tiresh of Planet Minecraft, it's part of a larger, unreleased city map called The Capitol, which should look damn great when it's done, judging by Tiresh's other builds. Hi-res shots, interior shots, and ingame shots below, map download here. Read more

This is what happens when a talented Minecraft player Google image searches "modern house" and rebuilds what he finds in-game. I'd say redditor ELWORRIER did a darn good job. Look below for the full comparison pic, and an imgur album filled with more exterior and interior shots. Read more

Gotta love me some meta pixel art. Redditor jiraph52 "made a giant Hotbar" in Minecraft. Not much else to say, is there? You can find more closeups in the embedded Imgur album below. Read more

A metaphor for the struggle of the common man, or perhaps a reference to the mythical tale of Sisyphus? Nah. YouTuber BetaTheData's machine is merely a tribute to a skit found in the 2012 clip Bite-Sized Minecraft, itself likely a variation on your average Useless Box. 15-second video with a humorous ending below.

Here's a team of astronauts, busy building the Endurance from Interstellar in blocky Minecraft form. The vessel was recreated in-game by the Korea-based Team Lopac, who also shot a timelapse video of the construction for the project's Planet Minecraft page. You can find the clip below.

This is the Dungeon Heart and the treasury from a Minecraft recreation of a whole Dungeon Keeper 2 map. It was built by YouTuber spumwack in survival mode, which means he gathered all the materials by hand. Nicely done! There's many more (annotated) shots in the Imgur album below, showing off the various rooms. Read more

This Minecraft build wasn't inspired by a real hotel, which is a shame 'cause I'd love to go there. It actually reminds me a bit of the Panau Falls Casino from Just Cause 2. In any case, the build is called the Twin Palms Hotel and it was submitted to Planet Minecraft by Jaden024. Look below for more screenshots. Read more
