A Minecraft enthusiast named ChrisDaCow built an entire universe inside the game, creating numerous galaxies and planetary systems, including a detailed solar system. The creator shared a video showcasing the finished result and explained the process. The project spanned about two months of dedicated work.
ChrisDaCow described the experience as deeply personal, noting that the builds were a labor of love and that sharing the final video after two months of steady effort brought immense excitement. It stands as the strongest work in his video portfolio to date.
Initially, the plan was modest, aiming to craft only a handful of planets. As the project expanded, the virtual world grew larger and more intricate. The builder employed a mix of customizations, shader effects, galaxy textures, and console commands to streamline the creative process and achieve higher fidelity.

The artist even managed to recreate the Pillars of Creation from a real photograph, translating iconic cosmic structures into the Minecraft world with careful attention to scale and lighting.
For the sun, the design relied on internal lighting and a self-built base using the brightest blocks available, delivering a radiant core that anchors the surrounding stellar landscape.
The most demanding portion involved constructing a convincing Black Hole. Thoughtful planning and a detailed model were necessary to render the correct shapes and lighting effects that convey its immense power and mystery.
