Any sizeable city needs an airport, and this super-accurate example is an impressive one, at that. With a fleet of planes and even a detailed parking lot, it's a great recreation.

A fair bit of effort must have gone into making this one if nothing else.

Although some might argue that this plane is nowhere near decimated enough to have really crashed in this forest, we just appreciate the detail. A fair bit of effort must have gone into making this one if nothing else.

Moving from ancient Rome to ancient Greece takes us to Athens' Acropolis, one of the wonders of the ancient world for good reason. It's a stunning site, and almost as impressive in this Minecraft map as it is in reality.

Another such faithful recreation comes in the form of Anfield, the historic home stadium of football's current world champions Liverpool FC, complete with the recently-added new Main Stand. It's a timeless ground that's just as recognisable in block form.

Can't get yourself a Nintendo Switch due to supply and demand problems? Why not build your own to console yourself? That's what Ayvocado did with this nifty creation of a house inspired by a Switch.

Ok, so it might not be as impressive in terms of size, but that doesn't mean this creation of a tiny houseboat is any less awesome. Sure building a house in Minecraft is fun, but building one of water is beyond the norm.

Not your average Minecraft creation, this massive custom landscape was created by PlanetMinecraft user qwryzu and apparently took two months' worth of work, along with years of practice and no doubt a lot of attention to detail and patience.
