The Recreation of the Earth Map doesn’t need any flashy resource packs or mods to make it work right, either simply downloading and installing the map in Minecraft’s Saves folder will make it available for play. It’s a massive amount of terraforming all right, but it doesn’t need a lot of space.
This particular map is what it sounds like – a 1:1500 scale model of a world map, complete with all 7 continents and many of the small islands and other land masses which dot the oceans between those continents. That’s why it’s so cool when something like The Recreation of the Earth map comes along. Unless players are getting their maps through various download sources, they are making their own maps, with or without accompanying seeds. Randomly generated maps are the name of the game in Minecraft.
