10 Biggest Minecraft Builds Ever (2024)

Minecraft is the perfect game for people to test out their creativity and building skills, and we have seen a lot of great examples of it over the years. Some players have spent several months and even years dedicating themselves to creating full-blown cities in the game, and have made them as accurate and realistic as possible.

This article will go through some of the biggest Minecraft builds we have ever seen. Rather than just focusing on the builds that don't have too much detailing to them, we are going to try and give preference to the biggest as well as the coolest and most in-depth builds we come across.

11 Lucastro

Lucastro is one of the few Minecraft builds that you can't explore as of now. This is because it is a huge project completely being made in survival mode by a large team of creators. Making a huge build such as this in survival mode is a big achievement as it is extremely tough and requires a lot of coordination and effort.

This build consists of a large, colorful city with medieval architecture, with some of its most stand-out elements being a huge castle, a cathedral with beautiful interiors, and a university as well.

10 Newisle

Made over the course of 13 years, Newisle is a modern city that was completely built by a solo creator. What makes this build so impressive is that every building in the city is intricately designed, with a special focus on its interiors, to make it feel like a real, livable place.

There are more than ten towns and cities to explore on this map, with all of them being connected by functioning railway lines. From offices and schools to shops and cafés, Newisle has everything that you would expect from a real city, making it a great choice for roleplay or survival servers with friends.

The City of Hythe is a fantasy city created by VarunaMC with over 3000 buildings, many of them having complete interiors. The circular design of this build, along with its division into four different sections makes it stand out from other fantasy cities.

These four sections divide this map into the slums, the middle class, the upper class, and the Royalty, with the Royalty having some of the most amazing builds, such as a huge castle and a giant eagle-shaped dome.

8 Sea Diary

Sea Diary may not be the largest Minecraft build, but it might be the most visually impressive map we have ever seen. Built completely underwater, this build consists of many creative structures and buildings as well as crafted terrain that looks like it belongs in a movie.

If you want to take this build to the next level, you can try it out with shaders, which make it look even better and give you the feeling of playing a completely different game to Minecraft.

7 Nerima Kingdom

Nerima Kingdom is another amazing build made completely by a solo creator. This kingdom consists of a Medieval Japanese setting with beautiful temples, castles, and houses, many of which feel true to Japanese culture and many which are fantasy creations but look amazing regardless.

The entrance to the Kingdom is one of the most beautiful parts of the map and consists of a variety of beautiful statues and towers alongside a river. The attention to detail is visible in the design of every single building and the fact that it was built by a single person is hard to believe.

6 Sayama City

Sayama City is one of the best recreations of a modern city in Minecraft. This is a massive build, featuring many popular real-life Japanese structures, such as many of the high-rises seen in Tokyo, and other different buildings, such as the National Stadium and the Ferris Wheels found throughout Japan.

Apart from the large buildings, many of the smaller houses, suburban areas, and forests have also been beautifully made, which makes this city worth checking out, even if its interiors may not be as well-designed as its exteriors.

5 Greenfield

4 Greenfield is undoubtedly the biggest and most in-depth singular city created in Minecraft. Set in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles, this map consists of many buildings replicating the LA skyline, along with the freeways, the airport, the ghetto areas, and a lot more.

There are thousands of places to explore in Greenfield and a lot of Easter Eggs to find. The amount of content this map provides, along with its massive size make it by far the most accurate and realistic build we have ever seen in Minecraft.

Westeros is the main continent in Game of Thrones, and it has been almost perfectly rebuilt in Minecraft. Featuring iconic cities from the show and books, such as King's Landing and Winterfell, any Game of Thrones fan is bound to love exploring this large creation.

Almost all the locations on this server are accurate to the book, and there are also constant updates with new sites being built and older ones being rebuilt to be even more accurate. Even if you don't know too much about the show or the books, you will enjoy this build anyway due to its impressive medieval architecture and the large scale of the world.

2 Middle Earth

Another beautiful, fictional build that you can explore in Minecraft is Middle-earth, which is the world where The Lord of the Rings takes place. Starting off in Bag End, the home of the hobbits, you can go on to explore all the famous locations, such as the Mines of Moria and the beautifully reconstructed Minas Tirith.

Even certain locations such as Dol Amroth, which weren't depicted in the movies, have been recreated for this build. This server isn't just limited to exploring these locations, as it also lets you take part in tours and community activities such as themed builds.

1 Earth

• Creator: PippenFTS

Undoubtedly, the biggest Minecraft build of all time is this effort by PippenFTS to recreate the entirety of the Earth. This is an ongoing build that a lot of teams are constantly working on, to recreate as many cities and countries as accurately as possible.

Countries such as the United States of America, France, and Japan have already been built, and many others are being worked on simultaneously. This is by far the biggest project we have ever seen in Minecraft and the end result may take years, but it will be worth the wait.
