The virtual version of the city will feature many authentic elements.
The Build The Earth project team recently reminded everyone about the large-scale "New York City" construction, which has been ongoing for 5 years.
Virtual builders are constructing New York City at a 1:1 scale and periodically sharing their progress. The project covers approximately 700 square kilometers.
A team of 50-80 Minecraft players worked on the construction simultaneously. Some areas were rebuilt several times to increase accuracy. According to one of the builders, they added many details:
For example, when a random guy from New York comes in and sees his flower pot on the balcony exactly where it is in real life — that's when you realize everything is perfect. Such reactions are priceless.
