Building in Minecraft is an art with no limits. This gallery collects builds that set the standard: from monumental castles and cities with millions of blocks, through hypnotic pixel art that recreates masterpieces of painting, to brilliant redstone machines that run games inside the game.

Every build has a detailed description, information about the builder, stats (block count, build time, difficulty level) and a list of its most interesting features. Looking for inspiration for your next build? Browse by category and check the difficulty level on each card.

The gallery covers creative projects (Creative mode, WorldEdit) as well as survival builds, placed block by block with no shortcuts. You will find legendary projects like WesterosCraft and Greenfield, Ph1LzA's base from a five-year hardcore world, redstone computers that run Minecraft inside Minecraft, and a few landmarks from Poland, such as the Malbork Castle replica from BTE Poland and the Palace of Culture and Science.
