A Minecraft player has flexed their creative muscles, using the cuboid construction system to replicate the most expensive yacht from Grant Theft Auto Online. It wasn't too long ago when another player recreated Raya Lucaria Academy from Elden Ring.
Since its 2011 debut, Minecraft has become a household name among gamers, being available on every relevant platform and spawning several iterations of its main game and plenty of crossover content. That still won't stop players from making their own crossovers, recreating iconic locales or even modding the game to more accurately replicate the experience of the game they're paying tribute to. Known for its comically simplistic art style and sandbox gameplay with plenty of room for construction and world manipulation, this really is the perfect game for the creative mind.
Reddit user Home1ander1 posted a picture of their latest Minecraft project, being a cuboid replica of the Aquarius Galaxy Super Yacht from Grand Theft Auto Online. It's one of many yachts from that game and the most extravagant. The post shows three screenshots of the process, ending with the completed yacht sitting by a pier in the ocean. An aircraft carrier was also built in the background, further replicating the detail from the original location. The ship itself also contains a hot tub on one of its decks, which according to the user, is always a dead giveaway as to which ship it's supposed to be.
The user further elaborated that they're still working on the yacht's interior, joking that they're still missing the alcoholic French woman from the original game. Nonetheless, the exterior took close to a week to finish, and many in the comments appeared impressed by their efforts. Some fellow Redditors even admitted that they'd attempted a similar feat. It should be interesting to see this person's completed map.
Seeing what the most ardent and gifted Minecraft players can come up with will never get old, whether it be replications of single levels or maps, or even mods that completely alter the genre. There seems to be very little that one cannot do in this sandbox survival masterpiece. Combined with the constant new updates for the past twelve years, creative minds like these are what keep the game profitable and within the cultural zeitgeist, and that can only be a good thing.
Minecraft is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
