Do you lot like playing this game in the bath or something? Because it seems every time I dunk my head into the Minecraft oceans, I see another 549,661,921 million beautiful underwater builds. It's enough to make me gasp with delight! Then choke a lot. Don't gasp when your head's underwater.
Coming up for air, I spoke to Haru, the Korean builder behind the underwater wonder that is Pirios. A grand structure buried deep down in the heart of the ocean, home to dolphins, clownfish and even mermaids. Pirios protrudes through the sealife that has gradually come to outgrow it; columns and towers peeking out between the vegetation and fish. Even the poor whale is overgrown with seaweed!
“It was really easy to create the building that I imagined, because I’ve watched [a lot of] fantasy movies,” Haru tells me, when I ask about his oceanic odyssey. But he believes pulling off builds like this requires a lot of self-reflection too. “You need to create steady works and study your own style.”
