Along with his colleague, Thorbjørn Nielsen, they translated the entire model into the game. Simon Kokkendorf from Geodatastyrelsen had seen his son play Minecraft, and thought that the game could be used as a tool to work with the elevation model in 3D. Geodatastyrelsen responsibilities include developing and maintaining elevation model, which contains a lot of data on the Danish subsoil and landscape. “This means that all of Denmark is now a virtual world in the ratio 1:1 inside the Minecraft,” reads the Danish Geodata Agency site, “thus you can freely move around in Denmark, find your own residential area, to build and tear down as you can in whichever any other Minecraft world.” Minecraft users can also pull public data of historical places, buildings, roads, monuments, elevation models and more. That is to say that you can visit Mons Klint or build a house in the middle of Amalienborg Palace. Thanks to two employees of Geodatastyrelsen (roughly translated as “basic data program”) Simon Kokkendorf and Thorbjørn Nielsen, you can now play Minecraft in Denmark as the first and only country in the world. The game map is based on real, official measurements made public by the Danish Geodata Agency, though various things have had to adapt to the game’s scale and, naturally, its blocky graphics. Denmark has used official topographical data to create a reasonable facsimile of itself in Minecraft. These mountains are found at named waypoints, unless otherwise noted.This is a first of its kind in the world. These hills were added both to improve the realism of the geography and to make it easier for users to build fortresses at those waypoints without having to build the hill first (which was often really challenging if cheats weren't enabled). that always spawn in the same spot, regardless of the world. The Eagles' Eyrie, as seen in Public Beta 25.2Īside from the randomly-generated mountains that can be found in all of the mountain biomes and many of the other biomes, there are quite a few mountains and hills. Vegetation and animals (and other mobs) not considered 'common' are all mentioned separately in the infoboxes of the biome pages, and sometimes also described in the page text. These common species are not separately listed in the infoboxes, and described in the text of the biome pages. trees!) and common animals are listed on two separate pages that provide info on their occurence. Many plants and are common for large areas and many biomes of Middle-earth. A complete list of biome variants, and which biomes these can appear in, can be found here.
