In April 2014 the Danish Geodata Agency launched a 1:1 scale recreation of Denmark in Minecraft, featuring every building and feature of the 43,000-sq-km country for players to explore. The project was designed to promote the agency as well as to help teach urban planning and geography in schools. The vast map comprises 3.4 billion blocks just for the terrain; including trees and structures its creators estimate the total number of blocks used is around 4 billion. Uncompressed, the maps come to around a terabyte of data in total.
