Minecraft player Linard showed off his personalized work of art—a sprawling fantasy world complete with multiple cities and settlements.

Dubbed as the “Kingdom of Galekin,” the original and relatively functional landscape is heralded by the internet as one of the most genuine creations in the popular sandbox game folklore.
