An industrious Minecraft player constructed a colossal pyramid that houses about 40 different farms inside. Since its debut more than a decade ago, the limits of what can be done in the renowned sandbox title have continued to expand allowing for greater detail in extremely large builds. The game has now reached a point where one dedicated player can create the entirety of a Minecraft version of The Simpsons' Springfield.
Possible constructs in the blocky sandbox have grown in diversity over the years, particularly when it comes to functional Minecraft builds. Arguably the aspect the title is most known for, however, it is the truly massive creations that can sometimes span an entire world in scope. Creators will oftentimes put significant detail into these huge builds, further adding to the sheer impressiveness of the end result. Sometimes these players will further challenge themselves by playing in survival mode or implementing other self-imposed restrictions to truly test their creativity.
Reddit user Piaaa91 recently showcased one such creation that they made and it does not seem to take any inspiration from an existing intellectual property like so many other Minecraft builds of this scale. They created a massive pyramid that may not look particularly special on the outside, but inside it contains about 40 farms. Piaaa91's build relies heavily on verticality with many creative pathways leading to different levels and farms throughout the structure. Making the feat all the more jaw-dropping is that, according to the creator, it was all constructed in survival mode and took about 6 months to complete.
After about 6 months it is finished! My pride and joy for now, round and about 40 farms are inside! All hand built in survival. I would appreciate your thoughts about this 😊 from Minecraft
The ingenuity of Piaaa91's build does not stop at size and detail as all of the farms are functional as well. Each one is optimized in a unique way to still work as intended. Piaaa91 explained how they were able to achieve some of these functions in response to some of the post's comments. They also shared some other building tips for curious individuals who might want to take some inspiration from this "great pyramid."
Huge Minecraft builds typically focus on aesthetic details over everything else and with good reason. They are so time-consuming to construct that many times function is given minimal attention or ignored completely. Piaaa91's build sets itself apart by not only being grand in scale but also being completely functional with a clever cohesiveness. This 40 farm pyramid could easily be considered a new construction standard though it likely would not remain one for long. There are few other titles that have such a dedicated and groundbreaking community like the one surrounding Minecraft.
Minecraft is available on all platforms.
