Minecraft Player is Creating Incredible Medieval Castle in the Game

A talented Minecraft player has shared images from their amazing ongoing medieval castle build, which has been created entirely in Survival mode. This means that all the Minecraft materials for this build were collected by hand, making this all the more impressive.

Ever since Minecraft launched back in 2011, it has fostered one of the most creative communities in the gaming space. Considering a big part of Minecraft's gameplay loop involves building, it makes sense that the community would be extremely creative as a result.

In total, it has taken around two weeks of playing around five hours a day, and considering this, the progress is immensely impressive. It features a regal exterior with a unique red-and-white color scheme, as well as castle walls to keep out any Minecraft mobs. There's even a small look at the interior of the build, which follows the same color scheme as the outside, but according to the user, it's not quite finished yet.
