Hello everyone, for the past year me and about 20 other Minecraft players have been working on a massive project in Minecraft.

We have been pretty much under the radar up untill a recent imgur post by our project leader, and well i can say that i am really happy with the results of that post!

So far we've been featured on a whole bunch of websites, including some that have nothing to do with Minecraft or even games at all.

Here's the origional Imgur post:

I took look at the pictures in Imgur, it looks really cool. It reminds me a bit of Lego... I could play endlessly with it as a child.

Favorite part of photos were the aerial shots of all the farmland.

Yea, since the Shire is basically Tolkien's ideal vision of the old english countryside where he grew up in, we tried to make it as similar as possible to that.

Looks like massive dedication!

Stunning work, I guess I gotta try this Minecraft thing sooner or later.

I love it. You guys should join the Minecraft Middle Earth server, they are recreating the whole of Middle Earth in a 1-1 scale! Its epic!

Oh wow that is pretty great! Truly lovin' everything I see there.

As a side note, what is the texture pack you are using?

Thanks alot Finlander, pm me and i'll provide you all the info you want.

@King We won't join MCME, we came from there and left for several reasons. One of them being that their map is too tiny, at arround a 1:100 scale instead of the 1:1 you said.
