Great Britain ... Minecraft Style

[Mr. Analog]

Minecraft, the highly popular building and monsters video game, can now incorporate accurate Ordnance Survey terrain data of Great Britain in its blockwork virtual world.

The game's 33 million players can build worlds atop of geographically accurate landscapes representing 224,000 sq km (86,000 sq miles) of Britain.

The GB Minecraft world was created in two weeks by intern Joseph Braybrook working with OS's Innovation Labs team.
