After 12 Years Of Building In Minecraft… It’s Finally Complete.

Okay i’ve got a question for you do animals ever think about the past they have mechanisms that allow them to learn from their experiences but it doesn’t seem like they actively ruminate about their past experiences that it just instinctively influences their behavior in the present moment and i don’t think

That they understand the concept of the future at all this is all of course speculative as we don’t have the technology to get a live feed of exactly what’s going on in a pig’s brain yet though i hear elon musk’s working on in light of that it seems that we might be

The only species on earth that thinks in these two temporal dimensional directions regarding time in an intentional way and both directions have this magical effect memories seem hazy and mysterious particularly memories or things that you remember from when your brain was primarily forming and maturing like right here i conjured forth an

Image from your dreams and memories this video was uploaded in 2010 some of you hadn’t even been born yet for context as to how early in minecraft history this is this guy built this in a version of creative mode where you couldn’t even fly yet he used block scaffolding to

Manually place all of this many of you have to understand that seeing a video like this is a pivotal moment for me the idea of building larger than life things in a game infinitely larger than your character’s own pixelated body called to my soul this video is one of the seeds

Of genesis that inspired my way of thinking in minecraft that would eventually lead to ideas like building the entire earth one to one scale but where are they now what happened to this grandiose almost sexually appealing cobblestone outline from what i remember shortly after seeing that video i

Checked them out and they had made the exterior and were working on real fully detailed interiors for like ever and then we never heard from them again it’s been over 10 years did they finish what other sort of psycho minecraft concoctions from the secret cabal of minecraft sci-fi occultist magicians

Conjured in such a large span of time well i’m here to tell you that after years of blood sweat and tears they finally accomplished their mission star trek’s enterprise d one to one scale with fully furnished interiors i would know i went in and you could wander the

Ship for hours the interior was done as accurately as possible andrew probert designed the interior of the enterprise d and this ship is based on those plans but star trek rehired and improved the interior designs of the enterprise d which left the team with a little problem their ship was outdated so what

Do we do it leads to another round of years of blood sweat and tears culminating in a second one to one scale even more accurate enterprise d with fully furnished interiors based on star trek’s upgraded designs this is blowing my mind right now it would be like it filled the earth

Finished the entire planet and then wanted to do it again and that’s exactly why the team at trekcraft decided to build a third one to one scale fully finished enterprise d with even better accuracy shape and aesthetics with fully furnished interiors i can’t even believe this but there was a good reason for

This third version you see that black line on the underbelly of the ship the ship can actually separate there in the show it becomes two different ships that usually separate civilians from military personnel or whatever you call it this cinematic sequence in the show was so

Expensive it was done like 3.7 times as many times as they built it in minecraft but this third version isn’t complete and the server’s moved from minecraft version 1.12.2 to 1.16.5 has gutted the poor ship’s interiors and set them back somewhat they estimate the time of completion for the third version of the

Enterprise d in two months i think or maybe it was two decades i wasn’t paying attention it’s definitely somewhere within those two time spans one other really cool thing you can do with these ships in regards to splitting them up is exposing full views of the interiors you get glimpses of this when

You’re loading the entire ship up and it exposes the inside for a second let’s remove part of the ship with world edit and get a better look at this it’s hard to describe this with words it’s so visually appealing to see this i move to

Say that the ship feels like cake and is making me hungry i don’t watch star trek i’m not a star trek fan but suddenly now i want an enterprise d cake for my birthday i wonder what this effect would look like if we use tnt no i’m just

Kidding we’re not gonna defile the ships like that but where have these ships been i’m gonna outsource that research to our head of hr department parzival thank you pippin so after the destruction of the original enterprise model ncc 1701 in star trek to the wrath of khan the united federation of planets

Immediately began work Football so that original video that we’ve all seen of this hulking monster was amazing no doubt but i bet you didn’t know that they had fully finished it with accurate interiors and i bet you didn’t know that they decided to build it two more times again for fun each one better than the

Previous iteration sober expectations estimate for people to give up on such a titanic and massive undertaking but these guys defy the odds and human nature with the force of their willpower their creative process is insane at build the earth we have this wonderful little tool called tpl it’s how

Literally everything is made copy the coordinates at a point tpl in game and put the block there do that again then make a line between the two the trek craft builders have no such thing they have to look at these musty dusty cool architectural designs they found deep

Into the internet take the written dimensions for the shapes and make world edit shapes for them if they’re fortunate but if they’re not have to do some really complicated math to get it accurate the same process takes place for the interiors which is why these things take

Years not just one but three different versions of the enterprise d over the 13 years since they started is a legacy to be proud of but that’s not where it stops in case you thought that these three monolith spaceships weren’t enough they’ve built even more the nx class and the columbia class enterprise

Constitution class enterprise from multiple eras construction refit and excelsior refit class the probert ambassador class galaxy class and sovereign class all full one-to-one scale recreations of the gigantic starships from star trek combining into a massive fleet of warships in minecraft space capable of challenging notch himself all in all the team has started

54 different spaceships from star trek and have fully completed a large portion of them and it doesn’t end with the trek universe trek craft has begun flirting with a long time ago in a galaxy far far away building two different versions of the millennium falcon since they couldn’t keep it consistent across the

Franchise consular class cruiser from episode 1 ghost from rebels firefly several ships from the mandalorian all one one-to-one scale seeing all of these ships puts a lot of things in perspective for me and how awkward our generation is we were born too late to be real pirates and too early to be

Space pirates while it’s true that our generation our children and maybe even our children’s children might not make it to the point of being able to fully explore the vastness of the infinite realm beyond our atmosphere things like an infinitely explorable space dimension within minecraft enhance for realism or

Something resembling that can and will be achieved during our lifetime sometime during our life you and i will be able to cascade through virtual dust clouds gigantic bodies that embody the prequel phase to the formation of a star we can witness supernovas alien civilizations the vastness of galaxies and we can do

It within these ships as they soar through the infinite myriad of galaxies with untold possibilities planetary formations primitive civilizations and things that you and i cannot even imagine or fathom just because it’s so outside our scope of macro experience in this reality that’s around the corner for us and these guys building their

Fleets of starships are bringing us one step closer to that unbelievable journey and as amazing as it would be to do it for real i [ __ ] love video games and absolutely want to live long enough to see the creative envelope and frontier of possibility pushed this far merging

Build the earth and build the universe into one shared reality fully explorable and swimmable to any gas giant white dwarf or fully civilized galaxy far far away when i think about the things that matter in my life and what keeps me getting up every morning it’s things

Like that the bright future that we have ahead of us as a species and while i think that we could probably be moving faster in terms of capability on the actual final frontier doing it in the virtual world makes me just as hopeful and excited and if marvel is right about

Dreaming being quantum connections between consciousnesses across the multiverse and infinite possibilities then i’m hoping that the future i dream about is ours just around the riverbend dozens and dozens of hours went into the cinematics you saw in this video a majority of those hours ending up producing failed results because this

Was such a hard and complex project to cover a huge thanks to our top patrons megan leckie almighty svet walker army fibbin randolph echolese xi yang pixiegum and cocopingus98 for supporting my endeavors and exploring the minecraft universe if you want to hear me say your amazing and

Beautiful name at the end of every video consider becoming a tier 5 patron on the build the earth or pippin mc patreon And too early to be space pirates while it’s true we butt pirates
