Minecraft Fan Makes Amazing Star Wars Build Wins Contest

Minecraft builds are a large part of the community experience in everyone's favourite game about punching down trees. There are many incredible things to see, from the functional, like this YouTuber who turned Pac-Man into a horror show, to the more traditional, like these stunning Civilisation VI cutscene replications. While a lot of these are simply unbound creativity, sometimes Mojang runs competitions to help inspire players.

The latest build challenge was all about Star Wars, with Mojang tasking players to recreate incredible things from the universe of Jar Jar Binks with blocks. Ashwood won the competition for his creation of the Vuutun Palaa (a Lucrehulk Class battleship that was in charge during the Naboo invasion in Episode 1): secretly, the best Star Wars film.

Ashwood, who goes as Gumliiion on Reddit says that the build currently doesn't have an interior but they are thinking about it. Gumliii made several Star Wars-themed builds, which you can see on their Planet Minecraft Page. They also commented saying that they'll be uploading this one there so that you can download it and mess around with it. Just be aware that it has a diameter of around 1,300 blocks and uses the full height limit of 383 blocks too. It's big.

The other entries in the contest include some stunning cityscapes and a recreation of famous models and battles too. It's not hard to see how these larger projects are put together. A lot of them use plugins like WorldEdit to make things easier. Gumliii still spent two weeks building it, though, so it's still a titanic effort even with the plugins.

If you're into absurdly complicated builds, it's definitely worth checking out this amazing IRL creation of a Minecraft piston made out of Lego. It even moves, although they didn't make working Redstone, which is probably for the best.
