Back in December a couple of friends decided they wanted to dedicate a minecraft server to Game of Thrones. They would get help from a large number of people and over the next 8 months they created some of the world’s greatest cities. This week they decided to release a bunch of the finished cities as pictures online.
Like for instance this photo of Pyke, a place also known as the Iron Islands. If you would like to see all 17 images you can go here:
Now here’s something even cooler, many know I am a minecraft addict, and so when I saw these photos it wasn’t enough for me, I wanted to see them up close. I did some digging and found that these guys have their server open to the public. If you have minecraft you can enter the website “mc.westeroscraft.com” into a multiplayer server and you too can go exploring through Westeros. My personal favorite place was Harrenhall, the castle which was ravaged by dragons. What is also cool is that this is still a work in progress, some places like The Wall are done, but other places such as Qarth haven’t even been started yet. And as you might imagine, when you have a giant amount of people all working towards a common goal there may be some fun easter eggs too, such as in the town of Lannisport there is a Gong Shop with some funny things inside. For Community fans if you’re lucky you might find deep inside the earth The “Dreamatorium.” And for those who have time and are willing to search they have a really fun treasure hunt. I made it to the sixth clue before stopping for the day. The first clue is located in the building you spawn in.
Minecraft is like playing a giant game of legos with a bunch of friends, and this group decided to play legos to a massive extent. I recommend if you have minecraft you spend some time on their server.
