    Build Challenge: Chunk

    Often times, the finer details get lost in the shuffle. It’s a shame because those small, subtle details can really be what make builds special.

    This theme asked participants to think small and build whatever they could imagine, as long as it fit into the space of a regular Minecraft chunk (16x16 block area). Participants had to work alone this time, and smaller modded blocks weren’t allowed.

    So, which submissions blew us away? Read on to find out!

    1st place: M.Yoda

    Kicking things off is M.Yoda with their recreation of Saturn V, originally developed by NASA and part of the Apollo program for human exploration of our moon. With the chunk size guidelines, they found it was a perfect fit for a rocket.

    2nd place: sander

    Running with focusing on the finer details, sander went all in and built something really cozy. With floors and floors of rooms for reading, sleeping, and storage, this tower seems never-ending.

    3rd place: destructor

    Finally, we have destructor’s One Chunk Neon House, which is a “futuristic house with lots of neon lights.” There is even a complete interior designed as well, with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. What a destination, am I right?
