Can you explain why this picture is impressive?

If that person did in fact make that photo in minecraft using blocks, that would take a huge amount of time and planning.

But like how long does it take to make and place a single block?

Placing a block takes less than a second, but different types of blocks can be harder to find/craft than others, and there are a lot of different colours/textures. If this is real, it's mind-boggling.

Yeah, I think I have a generally sense of why it's impressive, but I too would like more information.

If I'm looking at this right, that's basically an aerial view of Minecraft's world map suuuuuper-zoomed out. Each pixel of the girl's image would be one in-game block. So someone has spent fuck knows how much time constructing that girl's image block-by-block across their entire map.

Does constructing blocks take while? Do you have to fight enemies as well? Would it be any different from just pixeling it?

The artist(?) claims it took almost 4 and a half years to make.

To me, that looks fake. But to explain a little, I guess the idea is someone made that picture using blocks in minecraft?

-At that scale, they would have to hand-place literally millions of blocks
-It would take hundreds or thousands of hours to do solo, depending on the method they used
-If it's real, it looks like they had to clear land as a base for the picture (the grey flat-looking bits around the edges), which adds exponentially to the work if they did that vanilla (the image of the girl is likely 2D or slightly 3D for shading, but the land that was cleared was many layers deep)

Why I think it's a fake
-You can't see things at this scale in Minecraft. This is a picture of a map that someone exported out of the game, not an in-game screenshot.
-The chunks (square regions of land) on the map suggest that either it's fake, there was something wrong with worldgen, or else they were using a very old version of minecraft with glitchy chunks.
-The left edge of the map is especially janky. MC doesn't spawn straight shores like that. To get a straight line of ocean you would have to either glitch out dozens of chunks in a row, or use a 3rd-party tool like World Edit
-(That kind of chunk glitch can happen if you updated the game between certain versions where worldgen changed drastically. However, those block colors DIDN'T EXIST at the time that worldgen was being changed like that.)
-If you're using a tool like World Edit, Voxel Edit, or external map editors, importing an image like this into a world isn't that difficult. Depending on the method you could either use tools to help you build in-game (voxel tools) which can quickly duplicate massive areas, clear land, etc. which would turn the process from hundreds of hours to maybe 50?
-There are also tools to create maps and import them directly into Minecraft, so you could use one of those to create this map without ever having to play the game at all.
-Easiest by far at this scale is just to photoshop the picture in there, fuck around with the edges to make them look a little pixelated, and say you made it totes legit.

Because of those reasons, I'd say it's probably fake (or cheated in), unless they had footage of the creation process or pics of it closer up.

...I've played a lot of Minecraft and I was completely fooled. :( How embarrassing. It looks less and less real now.

I don't think there's any reason to be embarrassed! It's entirely possible it's legit. People do some amazing shit in Minecraft. Just with this sort of exported map image there's no way to tell.

Here's some for sure legit builds, showing them on the maps and in-game.

Those are nuts! It's like those pavement paintings that don't make sense until you look at them from the right angle. D: Wowww. My and my partner spent the best part of a year recreating a game location and it's got nothing on those.

I just found a series of videos that apparently shows the construction, still not sure what's going on with those shorelines though - https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28333953

Here's a better link to the playlist https://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/45027779

It definitely looks like they cleared the land by hand. (I'm guessing the diamond pick and shovel are spawned and enchanted in creative, but the digging is being done manually.)

This looks like they're using a mod to at least import their schematic, if not spawn in blocks directly. Some of the building footage on that and other videos looks like they're definitely using an in-game voxel editor to add multiple blocks at a time in some places (ex: the bottom middle square at 2:18 in that vid).

For the shorelines, my best guess is that they WERE building this and updated to a newer version with different world gen. I had assmed they were using stained clay but it's just crazy mixes of wool and other blocks.

I can't figure out what mod program they're using, though, or WHY they're using it that way. They have an editor that gives them the ability to add multiple blocks at a time, but they aren't using it to clear multiple blocks??? idk it's all pretty weird.

Also I don't know why the fuck they're building it at what looks like water level, when they could just build it like 20 blocks up and not have to clear the entire map.
