Minecraft Cathedral

Description

Finally, the finished thing!

I used the floorplan and dimensions of Amiens Cathedral for the initial design, and it's approximately the same size (with one Minecraft block being one meter). The central tower would have been taller, with a spire like Amiens, but I hit the game's ceiling...

Over 20,000 blocks of smelted cobble, more thousands of blocks of sand and wood and wool (over a thousand sheep were shorn during the making of this cathedral)...and far, far too many hours. :XD:

Built over August-December 2010.

A whole lotta screenshots taken during construction can be seen at: [link]
