Over the last ten years, the Minecraft community has proven to be incredibly passionate about the game. Players use the game's many mechanics to create beautiful and effective structures.

A ton of players like to attempt custom builds like survival houses, statues or constructions like swimming pools or greenhouses. However, others try to replicate their favorite pop culture characters or locations inside the game. u/BlocksterCraft is one such Minecraft redditor.

This article will focus on his build that showcases the city of Springfield from the popular animated sitcom, The Simpsons.


Minecraft redditor BlocksterCraft brings Springfield city to life

The vast city is built almost exactly like it appears in the sitcom. In a 4-minute video, the redditor took viewers on a tour around the city, showcasing popular locations like the Springfield Mall, Moes, the First Bank of Springfield, Duff Stadium, and Kwik-E-Mart.

Everything is custom built by the player, from trees in the long and winding city streets, the colorfully painted houses, to the texture pack. The cartoony look is a testament to how the series and its various spin-off video games look.

The player stated it took them around seven months to progress as far as they have into this build, and there is still more to do.

Other players offered suggestions about how the build can be modified into something even better, ranging from increasing details that display accuracy as far the show is concerned, to sprucing up the interiors of some buildings.
