256 Meter Tall Luna Statue

Holy Luna, this is a massive Luna!  After a whopping 52 hours of block work, Muffinworks has created this massive statue of everyone's favorite night goddess.

Check out the video after the break for a full demonstration!

Bronies are AWESOME. no doubt in my mind.

CTVulpin said...

I see these amazing minecraft sculptures and I can't help but be a little frightened by how much time and effort has to go into them.
This is absolutely amazing.

Celestia said...

Well, all I can really say is "wow" that's impressive.

Dallen said...

I could never do that, and that is literally speaking. I don't have minecraft.

Ben Gibson said...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I want.

SgtGarand said...

52 hours? That's a bit scary. But, it's still awesome and well done.

Fathead said...

Far too much time on your hands sir....but epic none the less!

Homfrog said...

How the hell is it 256 meters tall?! Did he edit the level or just redefine the meter?

Octavia said...

Oh wow. That is a whole lotta Luna... <3

happyness840 said...

That's a hay of a lotta work!

pcdude2143 said...

When I read this for a brief moment I thought it was talking about real life. I think I need some sleep.

Knux said...

Now that's buckin' cool.

CityFlyer502 said...

Talk about dedication. 52 hours? Wow.

DcmRulz said...

That's pretty awesome! Lots of time spent, but high-quality work! (Unrelated, site's hitting 80 million! Sweet!)

Phantom Ghost said...

@Homfrog
In Minecraft each block is one meter square. So all that really means is the statue is 256 blocks tall.

Impressive work. I also like how he sculpted the ground to resemble the moon.

Makkon said...

I don't mean to be a douche, but I have to call BS. Making something like that manually and getting perfect spot on shapes like this in minecraft is utterly unheard of. Even the greatest minecraft enthusiasts aren't that articulated and skilled enough. I'm pretty sure it was imported using WorldCraft. Seeing things like this is pretty common in the minecraft community, and they are almost always imported from a 3d model.

GabuEx said...

HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :O

Makkon said...

Of course I'd love to be proven wrong. Some genuine WIP shots would convince me.

Ragneki5880 said...

I'm pretty frightened. Please no dreams of blocks.

Sweet Luna that'ssimply amazing

Dallen said...

@Makkon Sadly, only the creator can prove it's real, but I trust him anyway.

Makkon said...

Wow, reading the description helps. It took him 52 hours to make the video, not just build it.

That officially makes me a douche. Excuse me while I facepalm repeatedly.

Yengahengadergen said...

flawless luna statue. very interesting choice of music too.

SteampunkBrony said...

@Makkon

Relax dude, at least you admited you made a mistake.

Cipher said...

Epic Luna!
If real then massive points for creator.

Unknown said...

Must have made this guy rage when Luna got a new look

Wierdplatformer said...

I-

I'm in shock from the amount of epic!

if there was any doubt in my mind that bronies are awesome, this banished them to the moon (sorry couldn't resist)

Author-Man said...

And then that guy from Shadow of the Colossus climbs up her tail and stabs her in the butt until she dies.

Naturally he's killed by thousands of Luna fans afterwards, and rightfully so.

David said...

@Yengahengadergen
"Interesting choice of music"

The music is 'Luna' by Eurobeat Brony feat. Alex S., so the choice is perfectly fitting. And much like this statue, it's a tune that shows how ridiculously amazing this fandom is.

CrusherX said...

Impressive site to behold

Kenko706 said...

I like Luna as much as the next pony, but this,....

Life much?

Gig said...

Sweet Luna of mercy! This brony is an überbrony!

Slots said...

By the Princesses Celestia and Luna.....That there is freaking amazing....

That sir, is some very, VERY impressive work.

Unknown said...

Awesome Sauce!

soo... where can I DL it? I wanna put that over my spawn to piss off my non-brony roomates.. joke's on them, the house server answers to MEEEeeeeee!

UpsyDaisy said...

Ever seen something so great you wanted to choke yourself to death 'cuz you know you'll never be that great...?

SFR said...

.... Minecraft classic :why:

Unknown said...

There are no words in all the tongues of man, beast, or pony that can adequately describe my joy at this moment.

ShivalWolf said...

I want to try and run this though MineCraft.Print http://www.minecraftprint.com/

Warpy said...

well that doesn't look that impreeeeoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

thanks dude now I have to clean my brains up ...
...
there all done
*bang*
DARN IT THEY EXPLODED TWICE!

anonycus said...

@Makkon

That only means he must have spent about 51 hours making the statue and 1 hour on the video.

Which is fine. I've had longer projects in MC before and I've never made anything close to that awesome.

ADavidO1987 said...

Me: You know they changed Luna's design for season 2
Creator: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

SecondJack said...

Awesome, but lets push through the limits!
Make. A. Server.

James Corck said...

HOLYSH*T!

That's an awesome Luna. Oh man, I wonder now, what would the author said when he saw Luna's new hair? I bet he spent a few minutes pondering whether changing it or keep going with Luna from Season 1.

I would've done the same.

Lazuli said...

Wow! I'd like to see Celestia banish that!

Falkenad said...

@Crimson_Wing

Praise Akatosh um...I mean Luna

Dantes_Grill said...

imagine this in Legoland X)

Kile Anderson said...

Now to do this in real life, but with Legos.

Kitsunekun VII said...

If this was real someone would be infringing a few construction codes for building a massive horse entirely out of blocks of wool. (^.^)
I love Minecraft, if just for the ridiculous stuff you can do with it. I hope Muffinworks adds eyes.

Xael said...

Epic Luna is epic :D

sukasa said...

@SFR

Easy: Unlike Alpha/Beta/Release, MC Classic supports maps that are higher than 128 blocks tall (I once played on one with a 1024-high map). Since normally maps are limited to 128 high, only Classic would support a [b]256[/b] block tall statue.

Pioneer1 said...

From afar it looks smooth and rounded...
Circles? In MY Minecraft?
It's more likely than you think...

Travis Smith said...

*takes off glasses* By Celestia's beard...

Reading Rainbow said...

@Homfrog

they say on the youtube post that they used classic, which has a larger limit. there is also a mod that allows it

Farnor said...

When this is on the real world, I'm done with pony.

Reading Rainbow said...

@smartz118
don't you mean "crack on legos"?

Wolflover221 said...

holy bucking celestia of equestria

william1cx2 said...

If this made in the real world I be like good tease, but ya'll are completely f-ing nuts. But on a plus side I think Hasbro would realize it maybe good for the money to keep making the show for a long time.

And once more, Notch needs to let us go to the MOON, and for that, we need 2 things.
1. No 128 block height limit.
2. Space Program.

@ShivalWolf

Oh, good, I thought I was the only one who's thought of this.
Make prototype, send to hasbro with a note/giant petition of people wanting more accurate, physical items.

pokemonmegaman said...

It looks generated, probably with binvox(a program that takes 3D Models and converts them into Minecraft .schematic files). It's pretty cool anyways, and the program doesn't generate paint, so at least THAT part of this was done by hand. Very nice!

Zaura said...

By the power of Greyskull...

CommanderHurricane said...

I would love to see that set on fire.
