Do you remember your first Minecraft houses? Some people in the real world were a little too inspired by them

A house built in the real world that is painfully reminiscent of a Minecraft building.


Minecraft is one of the most famous games in the world. Today it is safe to say that it has influenced millions of people, not only allowing them to spend a good time with friends but also developing creativity and allowing the implementation of hundreds of thousands of brilliant ideas.

The graphic style of the game is also so characteristic that it does not need to be introduced to anyone. Today, even players who have never played in a cubic world can easily recognize the screenshots from Mojang’s game.

The angular world has its charm and there is something about it that draws people to the title, even though it premiered over 10 years ago. Many players transfer to Minecraft what you can see in real life – existing buildings in the world are reproduced, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Roman Colosseum, or the Eiffel Tower. Some try to recreate known locations from games or movie scenes, and others build their own homes.

What if the roles were reversed and people started building houses like Minecraft in the real world? One of the players showed what it could look like.

Minecraft in real life

A player with the nickname Organic-River-9623 posted a funny comparison he titled “Minecraft IRL”. The picture shows a simple Minecraft house, which was probably created by most players when they started their adventure with blocks. The house is made of simple materials, such as planks or dirt, and is built on a rectangular plan. It can be concluded that there is nothing particularly special about it.

And here comes the fun comparison of one of the players. He published a photo of the building from the real world, which resembles the one seen in Minecraft. The house is simple, built on a rectangular plan, and has a flattened roof. In addition, there are symmetrically spaced windows in the walls, and the facade is laid out in such a way that it gives the impression that the builders really modeled it on the Mojang’s game or played it in the past, which made them remember certain patterns.

The comparison is obviously playful, and there’s a fairly small chance that someone has actually been following Minecraft’s architecture. On the other hand, the game is so popular, and even cult, that there will certainly be people who would like to build their home in such a way that it resembles the projects from the game.
