One dedicatedElden Ringfan has spent 2,000 hours recreating the game’s map inMinecraft. His astonishing creation later made the rounds on social media, impressing a vocal section of theElden Ringcommunity.
The mysterious setting of FromSoftware’s 2022 ARPG has captivated countless players since the game’s release. In the years that followed,Elden Ringfans have reimagined The Lands Betweenusing everything from low-poly graphics and pixel art to woodworking and watercolors.
In yet another impressive example of this trend, YouTuber Lerfing built theElden RingmapinMinecraft. His recreation encompasses the entirety of The Lands Between’s surface areas from the vanilla game, ranging from Limgrave and Liurnia of the Lakes to Caelid, Altus Plateau, and Mountaintops of the Giants. Leyndell and Haligtree are also part of the package, although the creator notes that they are still a work in progress.
Lerfing’s Elden Ring Minecraft Map Took 2,000 Hours to Create
While some sections of the world are still in the process of being populated, even this current version of the map required monumental effort to create, with Lerfing estimating that the project has so far taken some 2,000 hours. Besides the Land of Shadow fromElden Ring’s critically acclaimedShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion, Lerfing’s map also appears to be missing some underground locations, such as Siofra River and Lake of Rot. However, the YouTuber isn’t done refining his creation and has already pledged to share another video update as soon as some significant progress is made.
