The Shire from Lord of the Rings Remade in Minecraft With Stunning Detail

@randybumgardner: No, it looks absolutely awesome.

@duke_cakewalker: It's a minecraft thing :)
If you don't like minecraft, you'll probably only see the blocks and not everything else that's gone into making this

@duke_cakewalker: Agreed, post processor effects over blocks does not change the fact that they are blocks.

My son got me hooked. We spend hours LANning the crap out of Vanilla Minecraft, switching between Survival and Creative modes. We hardly enter the Nether too.

The plus side is that I recognized the redstone part of it as a very basic introduction into how gates work in coding.

@Yams1980: For me it was more like fun for 1-2 years, when it still was pretty new, but mods were also readily available the second year. Later on it was forgotten as friends moved on, and well now I just to wait for No Man's Sky.

@Yams1980: MODS!

@Yams1980 : I have to agree. The game is beautiful, but once you've grasped the concept, even building ''pretty things'' gets boring. You get wood in order to craft tools in order to mine minerals, in order to replace your tools because they break, until you get the diamond tools and weapons.

Yes it's beautiful, the piano ''soundtrack'' is nice, the landscape can make nostalgia resurface and make you feel things. But it does get boring.

@Yams1980: By making the things you see in the article.

@deathwish026: There's already resources in project spark that look like they're from the shire, so it would be perfect.

You could add in all the characters if you used project spark also.

@deathwish026: Project Spark is amazing and hasn't gotten even 1/1000th of the press attention that it deserves.

@whatsazerg: Because then you get tied down by a woman and at that point, there's very little time to pursue hobbies or anything else fun.

@whatsazerg: protip: tons of girls play minecraft, too. And we happen to like guys who share our interests

@whatsazerg: Why do I get the feeling you think putting your penis in a vagina is a great achievement?

@whatsazerg: I think you are projecting your own problems.

@whatsazerg: Only with Hobbitses.
