Minecraft Map is Finally Completely Mined, after five Years

The Minecraft map is huge and so large that it is difficult to wrap your head (and pick and shovel) around. The majority of players create a new world before they even see the old one. They'll then clean it of any diamonds, redstone or other valuables before moving to new ground. One player, though Minthical, a YouTuber Minthical, takes a considerably more comprehensive approach.

While we normally write about impressive Minecraft builds, like people creating MS paint, or the mystical transformative villages, it's a little rarer that a good Minecraft map is worthy of writing about. Well, at least official ones. The IKEA one speaks for itself. This map is unique because it doesn't focus on the things that are being created , but rather on what's being destroyed.

Minthical is a YouTuber who has been mining every block on the same map for five years. This is more than 45 million blocks. On August 12, Minthical live-streamed just how close they are to completing this world-ending challenge. They talk about how many blocks they've mined, the challenges they faced, and some important details about the scale. It's a great way to show off fans of stats. They're hoping to finish by September so subscribe to them if you'd like your block to be mined.
