♪ [hip hop] Robert Finbow: Building the Earth. it’s never been done before. It’s going to be talked about for ages. It’s a huge feat in not only Minecraft history, but gaming history. ♪ ♪ This is the Build The Earth project, and the goal is build a perfect one to one real life scale replica of the whole Earth in Minecraft. ♪ ♪ So right now, we’re sitting in a coffee shop inside of the Halifax Central Library in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was built by certainly our best builder here who’s done a lot of the work. His name’s Liam McDonald. And oh, my God, this is Liam. There he is. [laughter] ♪ ♪ This was started by PippenFTS and he’s a YouTuber. He released a video where he proposed this idea and the video went totally viral. It’s currently got over 11 million views on YouTube. And so he stumbled upon this mod, Terra 1-to-1. Video: The Terra 1-to-1 mod takes the information from Google Maps and other geographical data archives and compiles it to create the one to one scale of the Earth in Minecraft terrain generation. But I don’t want to stand alone in this project. That’s why I’m calling for all Minecrafters around the world, skilled builders, and organizations to join in on this effort. ♪ ♪ Robert: I joined the Canada team, which was a team specifically devoted to making the country Canada, and I worked my way up and I’m now one of the owners of the team. And I own the Halifax area. I should make it clear there’s definitely no global server right now. A lot of people seem to think that, but no, it’s divided by teams and stuff. The end goal is basically to have all these teams that are building on their own servers take their world files, their finished files of the worlds, and to stitch them all together into one giant world file and then hopefully make that a public server so that people can join. ♪ ♪ Honestly, it’s huge. I think the cities that have the most progress are probably Montreal and Ottawa and Yellowknife. And it’s really impressive some of this stuff. Definitely nothing like this has ever been attempted. Perfect scale, whole Earth, completely accurate. Never been done before. ♪ ♪ Video Information
