Build my little universe with Minecraft like never before!
Minecraft is a well-known video game where players can freely use various props to create their own world. Recently, a young 18-year-old player from San Diego, California boldly used blocks to build a world. A landscape that no one has yet challenged: the universe.
The player, whose name is Christopher Slayton, is a longtime Minecraft fan. He spent nearly 2 months successfully recreating the solar system including the Earth, new nebulae, super clusters and black holes in the game world, i.e. the entire known galaxy.

The universe is so vast …
Slayton said he has never felt the vastness of the universe in the past, but after working hard to recreate the entire universe, “I deeply realized how beautiful the universe is.”
The entire creation process and the final result of Slayton have been shown on YouTube channels and Reddit forums under the name of Chris DaCow. His work quickly gained wide attention, retweeted on Xbox’s official Twitter in the UK, and even attracted the New York Times. .
Everything is difficult to start, starting with home land
Slayton has always been a loyal Minecraft player, and his Instagram and TikTok posts are filled with the unique structures he built in Minecraft. This time, taking advantage of the fact that he just graduated from high school in early 2022, he decided to set himself a new challenge: to create a universe.
Slayton’s first steps began with building a model of the Earth and he believes that “the only way to truly appreciate our planet is to jump out of an airplane”. To help him fully understand the surface of the earth and appreciate the beauty of the planet, he decided to take the risk of skydiving.
Although that leap has paid off, in reproducing the details of the earth, Slayton still relies on the most reliable instrument, the globe, which helps him scale in equal proportions and faithfully reproduce every continent of the earth. .
Slayton believes that the biggest difficulty encountered while recreating a planet in space with Minecraft is how to use only dark and bright blocks to show the glow of a planet in a game world without a light source and the other The dark side. of one end.
