Game News Minecraft: 7 fun and original servers

Minecraft Middle Earth

Fans of the Lord of the Rings saga are delighted to be able to hurtle down the vast plains of Middle-earth in this tribute server imagined on October 10, 2010. The ambitious project was based on a multitude of sketches to reproduce these places and represents one of the oldest servers based on community builds to date. The map and its impressive infrastructure represent 29,000 by 30,000 blocks, the equivalent of an area of ​​870 square kilometers. Start as an adventurer in the home of Bilbo and Frodo and immerse yourself in Middle-earth.

PLANTFORLIFE

Created in collaboration with the Yves Rocher Foundation, Minecraft #PlantForLife seeks to raise awareness of reforestation among the French public. The project launched on September 15, 2021 is based on this objective: to create 100,000 trees in Minecraft that will be planted in real life. You have a plot of 15 blocks by 15 on the ground and 20 blocks high to build a tree. Beyond the plantations, players have the opportunity to visit a virtual exhibition (on artists Brent Stirton, Phil Hatcher-Moore and Catalina Martin-Chico) and participate in mini-games. A very nice initiative.

It is essential to renew a deep relationship with nature. Raising awareness of the cause of trees among younger generations is essential. This partnership with Microsoft is a great opportunity to reach out to as many people as possible. Unity is strength – Jacques Rocher, founder of the Yves Rocher Foundation.

The International Judo Federation

For the first time, an international sports federation invites itself into Minecraft. The International Judo Federation offers an educational experience called The Mystery of The Budokan dedicated to making known the values ​​of this sport. In this virtual world, players are invited to collect hidden objects and solve eight different quests. These are based on the eight fundamental values ​​of judo, including respect, honesty and friendship.

Judo is an educational sport. With our programs and campaigns, we want to build a better world. Minecraft is an extraordinary universe to convey our values ​​and help children in their development. We always challenge ourselves to be better than we were yesterday. – Vlad Marinescu, General Manager of the International Judo Federation for Minecraft.fr

The Uncensored Library

With the idea of ​​defending freedom of the press, Reporters Without Borders has created a huge virtual library in Minecraft. The place is to be considered as a real refuge for censored articles and written content. “In those countries where websites, blogs and the free press are strictly limited, Minecraft is still accessible to everyone.“, explains the NGO. The realization required three months of work by 24 builders from 16 different countries and the use of 12.5 million blocks. You can find articles from five countries including Egypt, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam integrated in English or their native language.
