    They definitely paid a dude to recreate this in survival over three months.

    It’s just a mapping of the height data from their scan into block height in a Minecraft world. It’s cool and all but nothing new technically. Wouldn’t have taken much time I don’t think.

      I feel like it was a mukō shokumu situation that no one checked in on.

      2026: All done boss!
