As someone from Antarctica, I am personally offended that you could not build my igloo.

But let's be real, could a slinky make it all the way down the steps of the Great Pyramid?

since the project is so popular, it's not that hard to just get some locals to send pictures that might help out I mean something is better than nothing

As someone from Iraq, yes we can't because the internet here is trash. (Like, having 10 mbps internet is considered "good" here, and it costs like 40 bucks a month)

Saying "even big places like India" right after mentioning Africa is just funny to me. It's like saying "Squirrils, Blue whales, and even big animals like kangaroos"

I live in Córdoba (the one from Argentina, not Spain) and it is kinda funny because half the city has 3D and the other half almost totally lacks 3D. Even my neighborhood has 3D (kinda outdated because my house was built after the available images, but not an issue), but the center is totally plain despite being the most densely populated part of the city.

Honestly, this video just seems like an overcomplicated way of telling us to touch grass

Building all of Finland: nothing, nothing, nothing, a farm, a town, lake, forest, deer even more nothing and farms even even more lakes and forests.

“They will be sending people to the bottom of the sea” That one didn’t age too well

@pippenFTS What can help you a lot with Russia - most bulidings in the Soviet Union were standard. Not just panel houses, but also individual houses in villages (they're normally about 5*5 or 6*6 m log or brick main + a rectangular addition). If you see a small cottage in 2D - that's it. It means that you need to indentify standard bulidings - and then copypaste them into their places in 2D map. The rest are either landmarks photographed every year from several angles and easy to find, or big private houses (go ~ 300 sq m and brick, add a tall fence. No one cares), or something secret you'd better just replace with some trees than figure out. The further away from city/town centres - the more standardized bulidings, it's not architecture, it's rectangle boxes. With any industrial object except for a pipe, bulid concrete rectangle and you're done. Russian trees are 30 m tall. Minecraft tall spruce does the thing. You also need a similar sized tall thin birch. Look for USSR Gebshtab maps. They have the terrain.

There _is_ actually 3D map data for many of the larger cities in China on Baidu (essentially the Chinese equivalent of Google), and there's only going to be more and more of it as the tech giant is also developing self-driving cars and needs high-resolution 3d models to develop a navigation system. Don't know if the old SimCity-like 3d models are still there, though.

It's insane how the random clips in the video are literally some place in the earth that they're supposedly going to build one day. Also all the scary places where murders happened and etc. damnn

Bro really said ‘touch grass’ at the end 💀

I live in a city that doesn't have a 3d scan yet has street view, but it's old. I can go around to the places we build and make a 3d scan of the buildings when I do have the time.

I am a big hiking enthusiast, one thing I think would be ultimately do-able for ppl would be to re-create in some capacity some of the greatest trails in the world. Of course it wouldn't be super detailed, but there is so much footage of things like the Appalachian Trail that I think it could be do-able. Imagine walking the entire AT in minecraft. Would be so cool.

Are you aware of Baidu maps (China) and Yandex maps (Kazakhstan, Georgia, Belarus Russia, and more)? They have their own street view (albeit limited), and in certain cases (notably China, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, and Belarus) it is the only way to get 360 street level panorama coverage of those areas (Google doesn't cover them).

Maybe you should try using the local aternatives to Google Maps for those countries, like Yandex for Russia, or Baidu for China, which *does* have 3D. For Russia though, Google had all the time in the world before the sanctions, and they were simply not interested in 3D mapping anything in Russia, plus their maps are usually minorly incorrect, when it comes to any non-western country.

I fear knowing one day, this project will get a real lawsuit for now though, keep up the good work!

imagine finding your house in this server and finding it accurately decorated and furnished

Bte hometowns and btw midwest recently banded together to make a small town which had no street view or 3d... But managed to do so accurately thanks to bing maps and KZfaq videos of news coverage of a recent flooding of the area. The less data you have the more people will surprise you.

Even parts of suburban/rural America don't have 3d

sir, if you did an channel for portuguese, spanish or other languages it would make the projet so muchb faster(mostly portuguese because as a brazilian i know how much determination we have and how much of our sanity we are willing to give up on just to do somenthig)

focus on the places that were already 3D mapped and hope that google and other companies make 3D models of places which don't have them by the time you are done with already existing 3D maps.

Maybe you can dig in some local services such as Yandex maps in Russia. They don't have colored 3d models at the time, but it seems that they are planning it.

0:55 "Going anywhere in the world, and finding your favourite place! :D" meanwhile, zooms in on the poorest slum in Argentina BTW, the slum is only officially called "Barrio mugica", but the real name is "Villa 31". Nobody calls it Barrio Mugica.

I feel like every video you get more and more existential

well technically speaking, the americas is the 3rd world continent but technically technically the earth is the 3rd from the sun so every country on the earth is a 3rd world country

bro this video is so captivating that it felt like those 8 minutes past in 2 minutes it was very fun and nice good job

Can’t wait to see the slinky video next.

Use Microsoft flight simulator, lol Honestly, they have a lot of nice 3d models from different places, for example Russia. I'm not sure, if you can get the access to models, but you can at least see all the houses being not flat. Just use freecam

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

"so turn off minecraft, turn off youtube for the day, and go outside. you'll be thankful that you did" me, watching at 3 am: no, i dont think i will

Hey bro I'm from India and in google Earth India doesn't have 3D models but it does have street view so maybe u can work with that

>says they can't build third world countries in Minecraft >builds the United States anyways

Just came through the channel. Loved it!

I am a builder in this project and I sorta see other builders that have loads of 3D data as overreacting to no 3D. I've built multiple buildings in Australia and New Zealand with no 3D and bad satellite quality.

"turn off minecraft, turn off youtube fir the day, and go outside" but the canadian wildfires polluted the air in my town

Did i just wait 8 minutes for someone to tell me tp go outside? 🗿

I feel like the best thing about the Earth in Minecraft is what games you can do once it's finished. Imagine after this is done, some youtuber like Ish makes a video of thousands of people replicating a world war using a copy of the finished map.

I haven’t followed this too closely, but I’m really interested to know, have you made Duluth yet? It’s a place in Minnesota that doesn’t even feel real it looks so cool

One thing, when areas develop significantly over time but you made that area a couple years back how will you keep up dating the backlog and would you have to constantly check areas?

Hey I got some good news for 3D view. Australia 🇦🇺 recently had more cities put into 3D view. Like Darwin, Hobart, Townsville, Wagga Wagga, Mildura, Geelong, & Launceston to name a few.

"Go outside" BOI it's raining and it's getting dark. Sure.

There is some street view in Pyang Yang. They're just dots though

I would love to follow your advice, but I ripped my pinky toenail off after getting injured. Really sucks that I can barely walk now, I'm like an old man lmao

8:10 no, i don't think I will.

I was keep thinking about "I want to build the entire earth in minecraft" but you guys did it... Now it's up to you finish the world, good luck :)

Now introducing: google solar system. Oh wait, *they already did that*

There was someone in the comments who suggested using Yandex Maps for Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan etc. This is a really good decision since Google Maps cover less of these countries than Yandex Maps. You should try!

6:58 Nuuuu, not again!

Microsoft flight simulator 2020 has 3D models of every building from every country, although some may be terrible quality, they can provide more extra information than just 2D satellite data.

Theres lots of caves in minnesota along the Mississippi river be sure to include those!

You guys are absolutely insane... Insane enough that you might actually pull this off 😎

Using the old Saddamist flag for iraq in the thumbnail Is WILD 💀

I have a question are you gonna build the easter island moais in this series and also titanic wreck

Open Street Map has some info about heights of buildings in developing questions if you would like to use that.

You should totally request an interview for the people at Google Earth who designed this stuff and answer all of the questions you have.

Hi chat!

Rainbolt Two would be a pretty big help in this project, honestly.

I don't know if you could use that, but my city is devoid of 3D models, but a guy had made the local news for building the entire city in Minecraft.

Technology is becoming so advanced. By 2030, when everyone will be forced to own nothing and be happy (lol), they'll have nowhere to hide.

I fucking love the fact im watching a minecraft video and i learn about google maps, i learn more from pippen than i do from school, genuinely, your content is so interesting and enjoyable

Imagine this guy making the exact replica of your home in minecraft

This was the first KZfaq video I watched today😂😂😂 bros kickin me off already

WHAT WOULD BE COOL IS IF YOU GUYS BUILT THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN MINECRAFT. THAT MIGHT BE EASIER SAID THAN DONE. YOU GUYS MAKE SUCH AWW INSPIRING THINGS IN MINECRAFT KEEP IT UP.😁😁😁

Argentinians watching someone call them a 3rd world country: 😡

To answer your question, any slinky going down the great pyramids would need to be a very big slinky. I estimate approximately the size of a minivan.

I built my cities downtown on my old server in survival just by going down there every day and taking pictures

am I the only one who wants to be in the project?

I see my house!!! 5:57

I was trying t find an image of my friends old house for him, and the town was so small (pop of about 430) that there was no street views. The only street view if the edge of town taken in 2007.

0:55 Love the fact that out of all Places in earth, he choosen a slum in BA.

When you finish 'Build the Earth', could you build 'Build the Earth' in real life?

سلام عليكم❤

Random question, I was working on a city in Minecraft, at it measures at 500Mb atm, Do you know how much the earth would measure? (A projection or current value).

Hey i have a question has Anyone done a shopping mall in build the earth of not and if so how are you doing it? As a minecraft mall builder it just been a burning question on my mind

This video basically: We can't, because they're aren't any buildings.

Pin this for no reason.

Hey just a question although you most likely won’t see it lol, would there also be shipwrecks? Like maybe not the USS Johnson at 27k foot below, but like ones you know the location of or are exposed?

yeah ill go outside at 01:47 in the morning pippen good idea

Google mapped a train, i was on street view of a city where a roblox train game takes place, a santa fe and two bnsf locomotives

5:30 My hometown (in Poland wich isn't 3rd world country, it was 30 years ago, but now it isn't) still doesn't have 3D models. Only some big cities like Warsaw or Cracow has... Even Kołobrzeg (wich is very big city) doesn't have 3D models!

hey, are you guys aware of synthetic aperture radar imagery? It's a really good way to get height data on a location you cannot go to. there are many free, readily accessible, and up to data sets available. umbra space has lots of free high quality data, and if you have a bit of extra money, airbus defense and space has lots of sar assets that you can task to a specific location on demand, all with insane resolution. hope this helps : )

Wild combination of title and thumbnail :))

Bing had the birds eye view option that used helicopters or planes years and years ago. but they removed it.

My area in Vietnam hasnt been map yet, but one day I might help you out

POV: You finish it but your little brother comes and deletes the world.

As a Burmese, I would love to see you build the pagodas

Imagine when we’re all done with the Minecraft world, we play it in vr with creative mods to make us go thousands of times faster, to revisit favorite places in minecraft, maybe even after, doing a multiplayer server.

i dont know about other countries but in Central Asian countries and maybe some eastern europe countries there is a thing called Yandex Maps. It's basically a russian copy of Google Maps but it probably does have 360s in some of the 3rd world countries.

I got a question, so are you guys building the world with a specific time period in mind? (Like 2020 or 2018) or is everyone doing it based on the google maps itself

Saying Street View in North Korea. There's one. A person named 'Aram Pan' from Singapore took 360 photos of North Korea. You can use that images to Build Pyongyang. Also for India, Street view is also here too, for example take Hyderabad, It still has Building issues but I think that it is easier to build than Mumbai.

Have you done Chicago? If not could you make a video of you doing so

It wasnt google, but oceangate just sent 5 people to the bottom of the ocean...

As an Iraqi I'm sad

Is it possible for buildings that actually have the exact same style and shape buildings, like ones in specific suburbs or certain Air BNB style residences in florida, to use procedural generation with command blocks utilizing structure blocks to copy and paste those areas to save time and speed up the project?

Where can I help build? I just learned about this and I think it is incredible!

Crazy that we have more detailed 3d models for vr tours of ancient rome etc than we do some regions of the modern world

ok what is the world file size? like i dont know if its done but i hope you can get it done but for real just how big is the file size

the fact that someone has probably built my house in minecraft without me knowing is slightly worrying
