A Minecraft server, 2012

You Are Minecraft

A flat creative world where every player got a plot along the street and built a giant statue of their own skin. By the end, 87,615 of them stood side by side.

What it was

You Are Minecraft ran on CraftBukkit 1.2.5 in 2012. Everyone who joined got a plot along the street and built a giant statue of their own skin, block by block. Plot after plot, the streets filled up with blocky giants, one for each player who ever logged in.

Walking around

• Drag to look around, scroll or pinch to zoom.
• Use the menu to switch between perspective, flat and free-flight views.
• The world is huge. Tiles load as you move, so give it a moment on a slow connection.

How this map was made

The original world was converted to a modern format with Chunker and rendered with BlueMap, using a resource pack that puts the 1.2.5 textures back on every block so it looks the way it did in 2012. The scripts and steps are in the GitHub repo.
