Inside are more than a hundred pages of these block builds created entirely within Minecraft. Though they weren't all necessarily made manually—tools for copying, pasting and painting were implemented to make the bigger builds—they still required an immense amount of time, skill and artistry.

Each piece lists the name of the person or team who built it as well as how many people it took to build, how many blocks make up the piece and how many days it took to complete.

Some of the designs in the book were created in just a day while others were crafted meticulously over the course of an entire year. Some even utilize up to 100 billion blocks. Even using tools to speed up the process, that takes a lot of dedication.

Overall, if you're a fan of both Minecraft and art, it's worth having. Maybe it'll even inspire you to start building your own beautiful creations in Creative Mode?
