Ever since Minecraft launched, it has stayed one of the most popular games on the market. One of the reasons for the game's enduring success comes from its open-ended approach to gameplay. Players can do whatever they want whenever they want in Minecraft's seemingly endless open world. While some players enjoy the challenge of Survival or Hardcore worlds where the point of the game is to survive, others enjoy the relaxing feeling of making interesting objects in the game's Creative mode. Recently, one player decided to use the mode to recreate a famous piece of architecture from Civilization 6.
Released in 2016, Civilization 6 is a turn-based strategy game in which the player attempts to create a thriving civilization. Developed by Firaxis Games, players work at becoming a world power by achieving military domination, technological superiority, or cultural influence over opposing civilizations. Along the way to global preeminence, players have the opportunity to build different historical structures known as Wonders. Besides giving players bonuses for their civilizations in-game, they also look impressive.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as LookosZero showed off a recreation of the Bolshoi Theater, a Wonder from Civilization 6. Made in Creative mode in Minecraft, the builder used a time-lapse to reveal the process of creating the impressive structure. Using a blue and white color palette, the creator replicated the look of the Industrial Era Wonder. Furthermore, they managed to capture the small details of the building such as the many windows that encompass the theater along with the rows of pillars used for support.
In addition to posting the Bolshoi Theater on Reddit, LookosZero provided fans with some details on the process of creating the building. They revealed that the build took about two weeks to complete. According to the creator, they looked at real photos for reference and made an initial blueprint before building the structure. In addition, they gave aspiring players some advice on starting their own builds, suggesting that they start big. By making a large framework, they noted that there would be more room for details.
The Minecraft community on Reddit has been loving this new build by LookosZero. With over 3,500 upvotes, many thought the build had a striking resemblance to the Wonder in Civilization 6. Others commented that they enjoyed seeing the building process through the time-lapse video.
It’s impressive to see the many fan creations made in Minecraft such as the Bolshoi Theater designed by LookosZero. With the creator already planning future builds, it will be interesting to see what they design next.
