It was inevitable, wasn’t it? The house that Minecraft paid for has also been built in Minecraft thanks to the efforts of builder Dan Bovey.
It was big news last week that Markus Persson, Minecraft creator and former owner of Mojang, spent $70 million purchasing the most expensive mansion in Beverly Hills. He even managed tooutbid Beyonce and Jay-Z in the process. The killer feature? A candy bar one of the previous owners had installed.
Such an expensive and well-equipped mansion has its own video, which the realtors used to help sell the place to prospective millionaires. There’s also a website and lots of images of the location. While that all may have helped Notch decide to buy, it also formed an essential reference for Bovey when building theMinecraft version, and he seems to have added every little detail possible in the blocky world as the video below shows:
The 100% complete version of the mansion will be available to downloaded soon from the boveybrawlers page on Planet Minecraft. Bovey says it was a very similar build to the one he did of Franklin’s Pad from GTA V, which accounts for how he managed to create it so quickly.
Now all we need is for Notch to move into the mansion, realize theMinecraft versions exists, and post a shot of himself in the mansion playing Minecraft inside his mansion.
