Northern Ireland Map Recreated in Minecraft
The government of Northern Ireland has recreated its map using Minecraft. The mod will span across nearly 14,000 sq km and it was developed using Land & Property Service's Ordnance Survey NI (OSNI) digital mapping data.
'This exciting new development will allow people here to play the game across all of Northern Ireland, in places that are familiar to them. Gamers can have a go at building structures including the Giant's Causeway, the Marble Arch caves, their school or even their own house!' said Arlene Foster -- the Finance minister who commitioned the project in a statement, Eurogamer reported.
'It's important to recognise that this is about more than just playing a game. Minecraft inspires a high level of engagement and creativity in young people and it is an excellent tool for teaching children about a wide range of topics including geography, science, technology, engineering and computer coding,' added the minister.
It was also stated that this was not the first time that Ordnance Survey was involved in such real-life locales in Minecraft. In 2014, England, Wales and Scotland were recreated as Minecraft maps.
