Huge Library Built in Minecraft!
On March 12, World Day Against Cyber Censorship was celebrated, and to mark the occasion, enthusiasts recreated a huge library housing articles from journalists who faced censorship in their home countries.
Five countries were chosen, all ranking low in the press freedom index compiled by Reporters Without Borders.
The library was designed by the Blockworks team, using 12.5 million blocks.
24 people from 16 countries participated in creating the map, and the articles were placed in books in their original language, along with an English translation.
The library includes articles from journalists in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Vietnam, and Egypt.
The island is reportedly about a kilometer long, with the building itself spanning 300 meters.
You can download the map for Minecraft: Java Edition from the official project website: https://www.uncensoredlibrary.com/en.
