The world’s largest winter wonderland is now in Minecraft
Nvidia has partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to create the biggest winter wonderland ever, all built in Minecraft.
This is an interactive Santa’s grotto and winter wonderland experience that spans a whopping 38 acres of virtual space. All lovingly crafted in Minecraft.
The experience includes several hidden treats of references to classic Christmas films and a full recreation of Great Ormond Street hospital too.
It’s not just to show off what’s possible with RTX Minecraft either. As the experience is also part of an effort to raise money for the charity. Users can donate in the virtual hospital or directly via this link. Those donations will help seriously ill children get one step closer to being home this Christmas.
