I don’t see it on the Minecraft forum, which is where downloads usually reside. I doubt BBC is hosting it.

It seems to have been made by these people but it isn’t there yet

There is a presentation tonight, so maybe it is being held back until after that.

There is an unbelievable movie, Edge of the World, made in the thirties about the island of Hirta and the period of evacuation. It’s a cheesy love triangle story but the photography of the island and the ways the isolated islanders lived is stunning.

I have often wondered if somebody would eventually start building out real world interpretations of virtual spaces. I know I would visit a theme park that allowed me to crawl around the maps I’ve spent so many hours in.

Something looks different about you today…

I have a world of ideas I started and gave up on. I have half a floating island that’s going to be awesome when I finish it…never.
