📖 About This Build:
About three years ago, I built Milan Cathedral for the very first time — and that was how I started my YouTube channel.
Looking back at that first video now, I can clearly see how much I still had to learn. Above all, I wasn't satisfied with how the cathedral had turned out, knowing it fell short of doing justice to such a magnificent structure.
So I built it again — at a much larger scale, and with everything I've learned since.
The real Milan Cathedral was under construction for roughly 600 years, and active restoration work continues to this day. Recreating this cathedral — adorned with hundreds upon hundreds of intricately carved statues — took approximately three months in Minecraft.
To make the recreation as faithful as possible, I referenced every source I could find: Google Street View, photographs taken by visitors, video footage, and more. Even so, a significant number of areas on both the exterior and interior were obscured by ongoing restoration work at the time of reference.
I have done my best, but there will inevitably be details that differ from the real thing — I hope you'll understand.
To make this world accessible to as many people as possible, I've uploaded it for free here on CurseForge, Planet Minecraft, and my Patreon. Enjoy it alone or together with friends!
And above all, thanks be to God.
