Map of Hawaii Recreated in Minecraft

Reddit user FrankCesco, known as fra 267 on YouTube, recreated a 1:45 scale map of Hawaii in Minecraft using satellite maps of the archipelago from NASA, among others. It took him three weeks of work.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. One player has recreated a 1:45 scale map of Hawaii in Minecraft;
  2. It has dimensions of 16,663 by 10,567 blocks;
  3. It has been made available for download.

Minecraft players are known for the fact that they can create absolutely unusual and often impressive things in Mojang AB's game. Some time ago, a Reddit user from Italy, FrankCesco, created a playable map of Europe on a scale of 1:230. His latest project is equally impressive. He recreated the whole of Hawaii at a scale of 1:45, which means that one square meter block in the game corresponds to 45 square meters in real life (the Y axis looks a bit different, it was made at a scale of 1:22, to make exploring a bit more fun). You can admire the final result in the video below and on the screenshots posted in this message.

FrankCesco spent three weeks mapping Hawaii in Minecraft. He used satellite images taken by NASA among others. The map measures 16,663 by 10,567 blocks. On this surface area we'll find, among other things, mountains and hills, landmarks, three types of biomes (normal forests, jungles and savannas), and, of course, a beautiful ocean.

Unfortunately, the virtual Hawaii recreated by FrankCesco lacks buildings. However, you can change this state of affairs. The map has been made available for download by the author himself. You can find a link to it below. When unpacking the archive you must enter the password fra267youtube, and then copy the contents to the ".minecraft/saves" folder located in "%apdata%". Note: Version 1.12.2 (or earlier) of the game is required.

Finally, we remind you that Minecraft received a new Snapshot this week. It presents another portion of elements that will appear in the game with the big Caves & Cliffs update, namely goats and glowing blocks, among other things. More details can be found here.
