"Minecraft" is the hottest PC game in the world. It's like digital LEGO. Kids love it. Grown ups love it. You can play to survive, overcome challenges, or – my personal favorite – build ridiculously creative things. Some players stick within the bounds of the original game. Others color outside the lines with mods, or fan-made changes to the game itself. Here are eight astonishing examples of that creativity, from players of all kinds."Project Wasteland" seeks to recreate the look and feel of "Fallout."

The beauty of this build is in the seamless integration of macro and micro. Here are some screenshots from within the great chelonian.

"Atropos" isn't the only stunning "Minecraft" uber-megafauna around. This "Redeemer-Class Gunship" is a feat of over-the-top biomimetic design. Creator Rossky writes, "Building this 2,045,747 blocks project took 43 days with about 2-6 hours of building every day. " If only we had an alien super-guppy invasion to give us a reason to build one of these in real life.
