A Delaware student has spent two years to make a virtual city called "Titan City" with 4.5 million blocks on Minecraft.
Duncan Parcells, an art student studying at the University of Delaware, created the Titan City that currently includes 96 buildings using his Xbox gaming console.
In 2009, Minecraft was created by Swedish programmer Markus Persson and was published and released by Mojang in 2011. The game is available on Android, iOS, PC, Microsoft Xbox gaming consoles and Sony PlayStation consoles as well.
"All the blocks were hand placed on the map since it's Xbox but I have over a dozen or so PC buildings set aside for when it's moved to PC for good and those collectively took like a couple hours with Minecraft edit. I guess the medium is part of the message in this case," says Parcells.
Titan City is not yet finished and Parcells reveals that he will make the city larger once he moves it on to a PC. Parcells also revealed that the game would not run on his Mac and he did not have a PC, which made him build the city on his Xbox.
Players are initially put in a "virtually infinite game world." The players then have the option to walk on different terrains that includes forests, mountains and caves. Players can also get an aerial view of their city.
Minecraft offers its players with tools and blocks required to build structures, cities and towns. As they progress they also receive advanced tools as well as building blocks to enlarge their cities.
Since its release, Minecraft has become one of the best online games played on Xbox Live. The game has been played across the world for more than two billion hours on Xbox 360 in 2012 and 2013.
The game has received high popularity in the gaming industry and Persson recently revealed that it has 100 million registered users as of Feb. 2014. The game is actually free to play buy gamers have the option for in-game purchases.
Microsoft has recently agreed to purchase Minecraft studio Mojang for $2.5 billion.
