While massive player-made creations are nothing new in Mojang Studios’ hit sandbox titleMinecraft, one player has taken their building game to the next level with a series of incredibly detailed recreations of the most iconic ships fromStar Trekhistory. As gamers prepare for the upcomingMinecraft1.20 updatelater this year, these screenshots perfectly illustrate just how powerful the blocky building title truly is.
A big part ofMinecraft’s near-unprecedented longevity as one of the most popular franchises in gaming is the way that the title scales to be enjoyable for all levels of players. While many players are content to explore the game’s blocky world while building little more than some key structures for safety and security, other gamers have usedMinecraft’s simple-yet-powerful toolset to produce some truly massive and awe-inspiring creations. This ability to adapt to gamers of all types, combined with regular updates that bring new gameplay features andnew mobs toMinecraft, has helped make the Mojang Studios title the best-selling game in history.
