This build has a troubled history on our server and has been rebuilt four times. There is also a small fishing village located in the bay west of the castle. The castle was built on a tall crag connected to the mainland by a natural ridge. Griffin’s RoostJacob: “Griffin’s Roost is a castle located in the Stormlands, a region of Westeros. King’s Landing has its own sewer system and over 20,000 Minecraft beds.”. The Red Keep is still under construction, but we hope to be finished in a few month’s time. Major landmarks include the Great Sept of Baelor, the Dragonpit, Flea Bottom and the Red Keep. There are many more outside the walls that are being rebuilt. After we made a custom texture pack, we rebuilt it AGAIN and just completed the city in 2016, and this time we counted how many houses exactly: 4,788 unique houses, all built by hand and that only includes what’s inside the city. It was the first major build on our server back in 2011 it had roughly 500 houses then but it was eventually rebuilt again with roughly 2000 houses. King’s LandingJacob: “King’s Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and the crown jewel of WesterosCraft. It’s extraordinary! Come take a tour with us. To appreciate what they’ve achieved so far.I talked to project manager Jacob Granberry about some of the notable new builds, and he told me about what’s been going on. At 807 square kilometres it’s around the area of Los Angeles, comprising 22,000 by 59,000 blocks. The world itself isn’t exactly to scale of the books, but I can forgive that. Every location has a deep and bloody history, and that comes through as you walk through WesterosCraft, too.Now 70% complete, an incredible 295 individual builds are completed across the world. Places where murdering and battles happen, and also places which are merely mentioned in passing.Īnd then there’s the capital, King’s Landing, from where spider threads of feuding and deceit radiate.

It’s an attempt to build the entire continent, with every location from the books and associated maps, and it’s just hit its fifth birthday!Highgarden and Oldtown are there Storm’s End and Evenfall Hall The Eyrie and Baelish Keep. This vast map is one of Minecraft’s greatest building projects.

And they don’t even have cars!If these names mean nothing to you, well, they will start to if you visit. It’s 650 miles just from Castle Black to Winterfell, let alone all the way to King’s Landing (2110 miles). There’s a map of it in each book, but the scale is just mind-boggling. Westeros is the continent on which its knight-bashing, skulduggery-dealing, capon-eating, winter-fearing action takes place. When I was reading the Song of Ice and Fire series, the books from which Game of Thrones was adapted, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the sheer size of Westeros.
