We are Build the UK

Ambition

Building the entire United Kingdom in Minecraft is an ambitious project. Together with our community of builders, we aspire to build all of the United Kingdom on a 1:1 scale in Minecraft. From London to Glasgow and from Fingringhoe to the Isle of Wight, our builders are working hard every day to bring the project forward, block by block.

About Minecraft

Minecraft is an open-world sandbox videogame, with the ability to build anything you want. You must have heard of Minecraft before. It's the largest game worldwide with 140 million active players, which was released in 2011, but its popularity never ceased to decrease.

Minecraft offers the possibility to build and explore anything you desire, from giant realistic cities to surreal environments. You can explore worlds in survival mode by fighting monsters and building your own structures or you can play in creative mode, which gives you access to all available blocks in Minecraft.
