Someone is making Dark Souls' Lordran in Minecraft

Yes, you can make functioning battle mechs and word processors in Minecraft, but this project is no less gruelling. Minecraft user Davweed is currently building Dark Souls' Lordran, and if you know anything about From Software's classic RPG you'll understand that it's a massive undertaking.

The best part about the project is that when it's complete, it will serve to help people appreciate just how beautifully constructed the original is.

Davweed hasn't completed the map, but what he has done can be downloaded over here. It's only 20 per cent complete but you can explore the entirety of Firelink Shrine and New Londo Ruins, as well as parts of Blighttown and Undead Asylum.

Cheers for the heads up, Kotaku.
