Think about ambitious Minecraft projects and the first things that likely spring to mind are enormous palaces or complex machines. It’s a safe assumption that most new players dream of sitting atop some imposing architectural fortress, looking down at the tamed landscape below them – little megalomaniacs and narcissists that we humans are (yes you are, admit it).
Still, the first thing you see when you start a new game of Minecraft is landscape, lots of it, more than you could ever hope to handle. So it’s perhaps unsurprising that some enterprising creators have it taken upon themselves not to take landscapes apart, but instead to create them from scratch.
Killerack’s career as an architect wasn’t very long-lived: “At first, I tried to build some cobblestone houses but never managed to make a good one, so I stopped," he tells me. "A few days later, I had an idea to create my home in a cave. I used lots of TNT and a diamond pickaxe to carve out a nice spot to put my chests, fields and furnaces.” That modest cave contained the seed of his future projects: “It was my first terraforming project.”
