Minecraft builder lentebriesje plans to recreate planet Earth in glorious 32-bit. Pretty cool, right?

He plans on doing so using a tool called WorldPainter, an interactive graphical map generator for Minecraft. He hopes to recreate each continent as accurately as possibly while still keeping each playable.

PC Gamer took some in-game shots of the California coast and the English Channel below.

You can check out the full gallery of images here showing off Europe, North America, South America and Australia – all continents that are currently downloadable.

You can follow lentebriesje’s progress through his blog post.

Thanks, Polygon.
