Minecraft Player Makes Use of NASA Data to Create A 1:45 Scale Hawaiian Islands Map
We've got games to keep us entertained in the midst of a pandemic. If you're looking to find more destinations to visit, an Minecraft player has recreated the Hawaiian Islands in a "fully playable" map that includes the entire chain available to explore. This map is accurate because it utilizes NASA satellite data.
Frank Cesco, the creator of this map, explains it's a 1:15 scale map. One-meter blocks now corresponds to 45 meters of ground in the real world. To facilitate navigation the map, the scale of the Y-axis is slightly exaggerated at 1:22. The total size of the map is 16,663 by 10,567 blocks, so there's plenty to explore.
You can get instructions on how to download the map for yourself over in the description of the creator's YouTube video. If the name Frank Cesco sounds familiar, it's probably because of the complete map of Europe that he published last year, on the scale of 1:230.
