Highlights

  • A Minecraft player builds a stunning solar system in the game, showcasing creativity and attention to detail.
  • The Sun stands out with its intricate design, featuring solar flares and the use of orange concrete and stained glass.
  • The Minecraft community continues to impress with unique builds, with future content updates promising more opportunities for creativity.

A talented Minecraft player has built an incredible recreation of the solar system, featuring a detailed version of the Sun and its orbiting planets. In addition to remaking each of these celestial bodies in Minecraft, the player went one step further by building them to scale when compared to each other, creating a stunning image.

Minecraft is often considered a go-to source for creative gamers looking for a canvas to build whatever they can imagine. While some players choose to gather their own resources for their creative pursuits in Minecraft’s Survival mode, others prefer Creative mode, allowing them to build using the game’s entire selection of blocks. While Minecraft community creations sometimes include things found on Earth, such as castles, arches, and cityscapes, one player decided to take their design out of this world.

In a YouTube video, a user known as bubbaflubba shared a detailed look at their solar system recreation made in Minecraft. According to the video, the builder successfully recreated celestial bodies including the Sun, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, Pluto, and Neptune. The player also added several moons, including the one belonging to the Earth. In addition, the project was created to scale, adding to the impressiveness of the design.

While all the planets were impressive, the standout feature of the project was the Sun. The immense size of the star compared to the planets allowed bubbaflubba to add an incredible amount of detail to the design. For example, the Sun featured solar flares bursting up from its surface. In addition, the builder utilized several types of Minecraft blocks to make the star. Specifically, they chose orange concrete at the center of the build with an outer layer of orange and red stained glass to give the design an appearance of overwhelming heat.

While this solar system recreation is impressive, it is not the only project Reddit user bubbaflubba has finished recently. In fact, they are a prolific builder, making many memorable structures based on real life in the blocky worlds of the game. For example, they recently shared their recreation of Allegiant Stadium in Minecraft. According to the gamer, they had built the incredibly detailed version of the football field, complete with parking lots, to celebrate Super Bowl 58.

It will be interesting to see what future builds are created by the community in the days ahead. With Mojang already teasing more content to be added to Minecraft in 2024, the options for building will likely continue to increase. Hopefully, fans will continue to design creations as impressive as bubbaflubba’s solar system in Minecraft in the coming days.
