Hello, Its me again (though most of you probably will of forgotten about me and my group over the 8months i have been traveling the world)

At one point in your life you must of wondered "whats it like on the other side of the world" soon you can visit it, in Terra 2.

Terra 2 is an upcoming free PlanetMineCraft.com exclusive world save featuring 90% of the world photo-realistically replicated in the world of minecraft

Me and 9 members of [McP] have been traveling across the world taking pictures and recording data about how the world looks and feels, from the harshness of the Sahara desert to the frostbiten Antartic (Yes, we went there too) all together, we have spent over
Click to reveal
£750,000 (plus £50,000 to a village in Ethiopia)
to get this information first-hand, Special meetings with city planners, architects from around the world oh and even a governor, we also paid for travelling expenses such as a coach, a couple of ferries, a plane or two, and maybe a couple of big macs on the way all paid for by us through our jobs as programmers,Graphic designers and an Architectural Designer

We started off the 8month journey in England and traveled to 150 different countries, considering there's approx 200 countries in the world we didn't do too bad with the time we had... sorry Iraq, maybe next time.

The Highlights were of course were admiring the wonder of the world and understanding the reasons behind such breathtaking architecture. A memorable part of the journey for me was when we was able to speak the the governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, when we asked him about his thoughts on our projects, he admired the effort put into the project, but had no clue what MineCraft was. We would have showed him what it was all about but we was on a strict time limit with him.

As mentioned earlier, we donated £50,000 to a village in Ethiopia, we hope to go back and see what they do with it in the next trip.

All this was for Project Terra 2: Modern Life. We are going to Highly Modify the Current Project Terra world map and replicate 90% of the world as of 2012, making it the biggest, most expensive and most realistic MineCraft World Save to date. Also, we are using DaleCraft 2012 as a texture pack to give us photo-realistic textures which use real images taken by the [McP] team during our journey.

Thank you to all the fans we saw on our journey and all the people that helped us accomplish this goal.

Unfortunately, due to the mammoth task ahead we expect a 2013 release date but it will be worth waiting.... the best bit Notch approves!!

D & the [McP] 10.

P.S All the pictures, videos, interviews, and project updates are on the free phone app: "McGlone Projects: Terra Nova"

Please Sub, It will give us confidence in ourselves and the project.

rageman96I had to come back to PMC just to laugh at this, do you people actually believe this is true?

H'mhm~
I'm in two minds, but in the end, I just decided to sit and wait. If this turns out to be legit, then I can stop my disbelieving. If it's a fraud, then I reserve that right to say "I told ya so".


what would make it fraud would be if we was charging £XX for the world save that hasnt been made yet, if i was charging for a pre-order or something and not produce it then its different.

we have lived too long in this decade to remember that things can be legit and free at the same time, game companies such as EA, Activision, Bioware etc. which charge for a re textured object or for a 1kb file are outrageous and have made everyone of the current generation think that things dont come free.

Seriously, if this is gonna be as i think it will be so big. Not just "for a game" this is gamebreaking. Think about it. THE WHOLE WORLD! The whole fucking planet build in a game. When this is done its gonna be big.

well technically we have already made the planet. it just isn't as big as Terra 2. And it doesn't feature any landmarks, its basically just the earth, trees, cacti etc. But its still great fun

http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/project-terra/ thats the link, just waiting for it to come back online... it was pulled for lack of pictures. but thats fixed
That world save should prove to the disbelievers that we are capable of making such feats

This is amazing! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with and I envy you your awesome trip!

I would suggest a "donate to help out villages around the world" button when you put up your upload, and have the money sent to whatever charitable organization you think best.

Well for the time being you could always play our "Project Terra" its a 3GB+ Download and needs approx 2-2.4ghz processor to run 100% smoothly (due to the size) though, so that kinda makes me wonder how demanding (Processor-wise and size-wise) this is going to be... have fun.


Remember to sub to us to get a chance of being in the private BETA.

That is quite nice.

It does not matter if people believe it or not. If the world save is good then why does it matter?

I, regardless of whether your story is true or not, shall look forward to this.

...... you'd get much more profit that way.


Profit?? you think we did all this to make a few extra coins? no.
Though this probably would make some money for us, but we did not do this for money, we are not called activision.

Too many things cost money these days, even water costs money, an experience like this should not. we are a self-funded group and we don't intend on charging our followers a penny for any of our content.

at the beginning discussions for this project we had a potential "sponsor" come up to use and offer to pay for the trip, it sounded promising until they asked for "50% of the profit made by Project Terra 2" and this point i said to them "Profit? You think we are charging for this?" they just seemed puzzled and we never heard from them again.

Think of it as a gift, for thats what it is.

£800,000 actually. and i expected this kind of disbelief. its not just "for a game" and its not just "a world save" its an educational experience which will hopefully reach out to those wish to learn more about the world. In each of the cities we visited there will be a section of information about the country it is in and information about the different types of building design and bits about what it feels like to be there and how long it took to make the area.

Eventually it is planned to be incorporated into two large Roleplaying servers with different people ruling different regions.

One server with all the features of Terra 2 (existing cities and buildings)
One server with a blank canvas ( that of Terra 1, with basic outlines of cities) for the full world reconstruction roleplaying server

I'm disbelieving aswell, although more accepting.

Fade, it's not tremendously difficult to get that amount of money if you have well-paying jobs (graphical designer...). It would take maybe a few years to save up for absolutely everything, not that long considering an 8 month trip.

What I don't believe is, why us? Why travel most of the world just for realistic stuff for us? You're better off making it availible to all, you'd get much more profit that way.

Terra 2 is planned for PMC because [McP] had a meeting and decided that they thought this was the best place for minecraft downloads, and we always test out things on here and learn from it.

Terra 2 the roleplaying servers are for all though, everyone is welcome when that is released

i hope that clarifies you a bit.
