Minecraft Player Shares Creative Roller Coaster Build Made Possible By One New Feature

One Minecraft fan shares a brilliantly creative build featuring a suspended roller coaster ride, and it can only be built in the latest version.

One of these creative builders, known as The Freenix, recently showcased their incredible recreation of Hogwarts Castle, seen in the Harry Potter series. As showcased in their YouTube video, the player managed to capture the architecture of the castle in incredible detail. According to the Minecraft player, the project required more than 200 hours to complete, and it was easy to see why when considering the scope of the design. Beyond building the exteriors of the various spires, buildings, and walkways, The Freenix went the extra mile by furnishing the interior. Many rooms from the series were realized in block form, including the Great Hall, Dumbledore’s Office, and the Room of Requirements, to name a few. They even included the Quidditch Pitch outside the castle.

Minecraft Fan’s Hogwarts Castle Recreation

Despite other fans building recreations of Hogwarts Castle in Minecraft in the past, the reception to The Freenix’s design has been overwhelmingly positive. In addition to the comments on the YouTube video, their Reddit post of the design has already gained over 2.1K upvotes. Some fans claimed this was the best version of Hogwarts they had seen in Minecraft, highlighting the incredible detail and scale of the build. Impressively, The Freenix revealed they were still not finished with the project, and while there is no downloadable version of the map yet, they plan to make one available in the future.

This Hogwarts Castle recreation comes as numerous gamers have been sharing eye-catching builds online. For example, another player paid homage to the Grand Theft Auto franchise by creating the Diamond Casino in Minecraft. Like The Freenix’s castle, this build included an interior that could be explored.

As one of the most popular games of all time, it is only a matter of time before more impressive creations are shared online. Hopefully, the new Minecraft updates from Mojang will allow players to create even more unique designs in the future.
