In 2014, Denmark became a world first 🇩🇰🎮
The entire country was recreated 1:1 in Minecraft by the Danish Geodata Agency, using an incredible 4 trillion blocks.
Built from real geodata, the map featured cities, trees, buildings, and landmarks, allowing players to explore every corner of Denmark’s 43,000 km². Uncompressed, the project totaled around 1 terabyte of data, making it the first full-scale country ever modelled in a video game.
Not even virtual Denmark was safe from mischief: on 7 May 2014, cyber vandals detonated dynamite in a small area of the map. Luckily, fellow players quickly rebuilt the damage.
