Minecraft is all kinds of insane. It’s called a computer game, technically, but it’s really more like Lego — Lego that you can use to build your own, well… pretty much anything!

For example, you might have heard about this one fellow that built the framework of the USS Enterprise D (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Yeah, he built it on a 1:1 scale. 1:1!! Do you have any idea how HUGE that is? If you don’t, not to worry — the builder’s words on the subject leave very little to the imagination. He put out a call on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, showcasing his creation and asking for people to help him out in creating the interior of every room on the ship. Pretty amazing, really, but I can’t imagine the time and patience required to build such a thing out of 1 metre cubed blocks.

A couple of other notable Minecraft creations, as posted by the site Teksocial, are a relatively scale model of the Empire State Building, and a model of the Earth. That’s right: somebody sat down at their computer and actually created the Earth, one block at a time. Nuts.
