St Peter’s Basilica – Minecraft Timelapse

Hello everybody welcome back to another episode of uh building on my channel not really an episode here but we’re just doing a one-time video for this build uh you guys saw in the thumbnail you guys saw on the title you saw in the intro we’re building something a little bit

Crazy here today we’re not building disneyland we’re not building las vegas or disney world even we are building saint peter’s basilica today and if you don’t know what a basilica is uh that’s all right because i still don’t know what it is after building the freaking thing um

But we’re building this giant um it’s essentially i think it’s just like a cathedral um but it’s in the vatican city which is inside of rome italy it’s its own little country i think it’s the smallest country in the world the vatican city um but this is a pretty cool building

Inside of that city and we are building it today right here as you can see this thing is massive this took me very long to build probably about 14 or 15 hours to build and you’re seeing it right now in 12 minutes and that’s pretty crazy i don’t know what

The time conversion is uh how many how many hours you’re watching uh per minute here but um yeah it’s pretty crazy um you you can see all the detail that we’re getting in here this is a one-to-one scale build uh from real life look at this thing it’s so beautiful and

Also a little disclaimer um for for for the religious for the religious thing because this is a religious building you know i don’t wanna i don’t wanna make anybody upset or anything this is just a minecraft build i’m doing it for the architecture i’m not trying to be uh accurate to the

Religion i know inside of this building in real life there are like some religious things there are religious paintings and stuff in there um i didn’t build those i just built the building itself and the interior architecture so uh getting that out of the way not trying to not trying to make anyone

Angry here just building the thing and uh we’re having a good time here guys we’re having fun we’re gonna have fun this episode and as you can see right now we’re getting a lot of detail in this building as i was rambling there um you saw the front facade of the building

Go up and um the front facade is like a bunch of sandstone and stuff as you saw there but the back of the building which i’m building right now is actually a lot of quartz pretty much all quartz it’s all white um i don’t know it might be at quartz in

Real life um or just i don’t know a bunch of marble or something uh this is this is a very important building uh so i wouldn’t be surprised if this whole thing was just made of pure marble pure gold or something like that um but yeah

So you can see me coming around the side adding all these windows and all these intricate details here this is also probably one of my most detailed if not my most detailed builds that i’ve ever made and this was this is a real real big challenge for me because i’m used to

Building um smaller scale things or things that don’t have as much detail as this i don’t really build uh giant cathedrals or temples or stuff like this normally you guys just see me building casino resorts and amusement park rides so this is definitely not something i’m used to

So it was really fun to get out of my comfort zone and see what i’m capable of and now after this video i’m i’m i think i’m a lot more confident in building these giant things uh like we have right here and it was also kind of a little

Bit easier than i thought it would be it definitely did not take as long to build as i thought it would just because it’s so symmetrical so i really wanted to build like half of the building and then i could flip it over this entire back half is just completely

Symmetrical um back there so i only need to build really a quarter of that and then i could just use world edit to flip it over and now we have the entire uh basic structure of the building done and all that detail just zoomed by while i

Was talking uh like i said you know hours this is probably what four hours already watched right now four hours of work um down in about three minutes but now we’re coming onto the roof and uh the roof has just as much detail as the as

The sides here uh you can see all these little things going up these little pillars or whatever they are um they’re kind of interesting and what they actually are is inside the building they’re like little domes in the ceiling right there and uh those are kind of

What protrudes out of the building up top so that’s pretty cool that looks very nice you got that hole right there uh that exists for some reason so you know i built it i built it it’s in real life so i built it in minecraft um

And now right here we’re working on one of these smaller domes um if you look at a picture of this uh of this uh basilica in real life you’ll see the giant dome uh which is the most most notable part of the building arguably uh these domes

Are not it these are the tiny versions the little baby brothers of the big dome we’re gonna get the big dome in here in just a few moments um and you know the big dome really brings this whole thing together i think it really adds a final finishing touch to the exterior of

The building and i was really excited to build the dome because that is really kind of the finishing touch like the the the cherry on top of this building um it’s really it really doesn’t look complete until you get this dome in which we’re building right now

Uh we’re doing the platform for the dome right now um if you if you don’t pay attention to the dome um you you won’t notice that the dome is sitting kind of like on this big pedestal and this kind of tower the dome is like a building in itself and uh you

Can see right now like i haven’t even started the actual dome top part but we’re already super high above the building uh with this giant window area right here and then some even more detail it just keeps going up and up and up and you know it’s keeping taller and it’s great

It’s beautiful it’s gorgeous and now we’re starting with the actual dome part here which um i used a um a circle like a sphere generator i think it’s called like the plots modeler on the internet because um i i ca i’m not i’m not a god

At building so you know i just wanted to make it easier for myself so i didn’t have to make my own sphere so i went on the internet and it generated a sphere for me and it was pretty easy i just had a copy of the details and stuff but

Now we have that all finished we’re coming up above it and there’s like a cool little viewing platform up here which i did not know existed um but that’s cool and then we get the finishing touches up there with the final details and we’re flying out already so that was pretty much the

Building uh already done already down the drain already gone we already finished it um and now we’re coming out with this giant massive square out here um i’m gonna build and uh when i started this build i did not think i was going to be creating

This square out here but i really didn’t think that uh this this whole build would be complete without this square because they kind of tie each other together um you know they complement each other and it looks really good for screenshots and stuff too so this giant

Square here is pretty cool there’s like this big um monument thing in the center there kind of looks like the washington monument um from washington dc but i don’t know what its purpose is i don’t know what it represents um like i said i’m just building it for for the heck of it

Because it looks cool and now we’re coming around the side of this uh of this big square here and we are um it’s kind we’re making like these kind of uh greek style uh arches here kind of looks like the pantheon or something like that but it’s a very greek style uh

Sort of uh archway going all the way around this square here and now that i think about it i don’t know why this is called a square because it’s clearly not a square it’s a circle um i don’t know who i don’t know who decided that for uh for

The name of these things but um that’s all right we’re gonna come back into the building now once we finish this um in one moment and this is also symmetrical so i could just flip it over in world that add a little bit of detail there on the ground and now we’re going

To connect it up with the building right here real quickly with some walls and some some windows there it looks very nice but uh just like that we are pretty much done with the outside of this building and we’re gonna go on to the inside and the inside

Is arguably even more beautiful than uh than the outside so here we are right on the inside interior this building is coming up and like i said this uh interior is arguably just as beautiful as the outside there is probably even more detail now there’s definitely without a

Doubt even more detail on the inside than there is on the outside the detail on this thing is crazy like everywhere you look in this building is just chocked full of detail the ceiling is crazy detailed the floor is crazy detailed and we’re gonna build it all here um

In this video right here um and in the cinematics these cinematics are gonna be crazy guys i’ve never seen uh i’ve never seen a build quite like this in minecraft i’m just gonna say i’ve never seen a build quite like this um i think i’m i’m giving myself a huge pat on the

Back here because i’m really proud of this build that i’ve made here and uh you can see all the detail that’s already coming in here we got these nice little arches and stuff and the ceiling like i said super detailed with these like um in real life

They’re just a bunch of uh intricate little designs and stuff on the ceiling and in minecraft i use trapdoors and buttons and i also use some um some uh uh sea lanterns to light up everything because as you can see it’s pretty dark um in real life it’s not this dark because the

The windows let everything in but uh they let all the light in but in minecraft uh the lighting engine does not work like that i wish they’d change it i wish they would let light shine in through holes uh in the walls a lot better than they do but you know you got

To do what you got to do um now we’re coming over to the side of of of the building with these little like outcroppings um and there’s like these little miniature domes in here and these are the domes that i was talking about earlier that

Come out to the top um with those three little uh you know spire things uh on the roof but those are like the little outcroppings and they are pretty much uh all the same uh all around the building so i just showed me making one um just so this

Video doesn’t drag on all day long i already spent about 14 hours building this thing so just to make a little bit easier for you guys but now we’re coming to the center here and we’re building the inside of the dome which is just as pretty as the

Outside and i had a lot of fun making this because just like the rest of the building it’s really symmetrical so i really wanted to make a quarter of the building here and as i go up you can just see all the details pouring in pouring and pouring

In and now we’re going to get to the dome part right here which has all the cool bits and bobs oh bits and bobs here um we got a lot of a lot of uh intricate stuff kind of similar to the ceiling down below that we just built but it’s a

Little bit different and i am once again very happy with how this turned out and then you’re going to see me world at it all the other sides there and we’re lighting it up there we go beautiful stuff right there and now we are almost

To the end of this video we’re going to get this little back section of the building completed right here um and then after this little area we’re going to finish off with the floor of the building which the floor really finishes off like i’ve been saying uh you know everything here and there

Really makes the building look great but the floor i gotta be honest the floor really makes the building look very fantastic but that’s gonna do it for this video i really hope you guys enjoyed it i had tons of fun building this go ahead and description join my
