A dedicatedMinecraftfan has shared a video of their recreation of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center with the Saturn 5 rocket.Minecraftplayers have shared incredible builds since the game was released, but this may be among the most impressive for the NASA community.
ManyMinecraftplayers explore their worlds in Survival and Hardcore in search of a challenge beyond building. The game also features a Creative mode which removes material limitations for gamers, allowing them to build whatever they come up with. Some builds have been utilized for educational purposes, including a human anatomy one from the Anatomy Institute of Semmelweis Budapest, and The Human EyeMinecraftMarketplace map. Other creations are focused on pop-cultural things, like the house from Pixar’sUp, aRed Dead Redemption 2town, andaRocket LeagueArena. One player has decided to recreate the modern NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to scale.
YouTuber Bubbaflubba recently shared a video detailing their creation of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center inMinecraft. This build includes multiple assembly buildings with accurate bays, a launch pad, the mission command control center, the crawler transport vehicle and its tracks, and a mobile launcher platform. This NASA Kennedy Space Center is modernized for 2024 despite the included rocket, the Saturn 5, being from the 1960s. The main building includes an accurate US flag, NASA logo, and the player used apopularMinecraftmodto ensure symmetry on both sides. Smaller details like industrial ventilation and pipes, individual garages, and mechanical equipment enclosures also contribute to the build’s realistic nature.
What Minecraft Materials Were Used in This Build?
This talentedMinecraftfan utilized a blueprint of the design to map out where all the buildings and the rocket should go ahead of building everything. Given that much of this build consists of parking lots and flat areas, the YouTuber emphasized the need for texturing. This was done primarily by mixing colors in different areas, with grass fields including greenMinecraftConcrete, Moss, and green Wool. NASA has many Space Centers located around the US, with the Kennedy facility being in Florida. Although many fans may see this Space Center as identical to others, the NASA community may appreciate the finer details that went into making this recreation of the Kennedy location.
Beyond sharing a video highlighting their Kennedy Center creation process, this YouTuber has also shared a download link for their map. AsMojang continues to updateMinecraftwith new blocks, future additions may improve texture work to make builds like these even more accurate.
