A talented Minecraft player has created a castle that has left the community wondering if it is a real-life location. Since the beta version was 15 years ago, Minecraft has become the biggest-selling video game of all time, moving approximately 300 million copies across all its iterations.
Despite the full version releasing in 2011, Mojang’s sandbox game is still receiving regular updates. The Minecraft Tricky Trails update is set for release on June 13 and will give players even more tools to create almost anything they want. Even without the new textures from this update, one player has been busy creating a build that has garnered a lot of praise from the community.

A Minecraft player brings a chunk of the Nether to the Overworld, impressing fans with their creative reproduction of the dangerous dimension.
A user that goes by the name of VinceDC36 on Reddit has posted their latest Minecraft creation, which looks more like a photo than an in-game capture. The player has created a castle complete with a large water fountain, stately grounds, and a side building with a level of detail that has fans questioning if the castle is real. The creation has sparked some debate regarding whether the building is more of a manor or chateau, but the consensus from the community is that VinceDC36’s work is rather stunning.
Minecraft Player Creates Stunning Castle In-Game
With the post featuring an incredible amount of detail, players have been praising how much care was taken with the structure. Some replies say that they had to zoom in to make sure it was from Minecraft rather than a photo of a real location, while others compared the building to the Bergenhus Fortress in Norway. A few comments have asked how VinceDC36 managed to make the detailed building, with the OP responding that it was a mixture of in-game blocks mixed with some custom texture packs that are freely available for Minecraft.
As VinceDC36 is keen to show off a castle that looks like it has been pulled straight from the real world, others choose to showcase their builds in different ways. One fan has recently produced a cyberpunk-themed casino in Minecraft in an impressive build that shows just how diverse Mojang’s title can be.
Fans aren’t the only ones looking to blur the lines between Mojang’s influential sandbox title and the real world. It was recently announced that Minecraft is teaming up with LEGO to release a real-life Minecraft Crafting Table to celebrate the game’s milestone anniversary. The set is scheduled for release on August 1 and encourages fans to build their own miniature Minecraft worlds from the 1195 pieces included in the box.
