A few months ago, Aerethos embarked on an ambitious journey, meticulously recreating Apple Park. With over 2,000 pages of plans reviewed, our Minecraft rendition spans 3.2 million blocks, placing it among Planet Minecraft's top 10 most developed projects.

'The Ring,' representing the main building, spans 49,000 blocks with a volume nearing 430,000 blocks—marking it as a megastructure. Combined with surrounding zones, the project totals over 3 million blocks, classified as a superstructure.

Today, one month into this project, significant progress has been made. However, please note that due to unforeseen life events, this project is currently delayed and paused indefinitely.

Project Timeline: The project is paused and delayed until July 2024. I expect to have the project completed entirely by Spring 2025.

The full project realisation is now extended to Spring 2025, with a server launch planned for that time. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay. The update logs will provide more information on the project's extensive elements.

Aerethos expresses gratitude to those who have attempted the Apple Park campus project over the last 12 years, serving as inspiration. Our commitment remains unwavering: to deliver a 100% complete project, meticulously detailed to match the building's knowledge available. We aim to provide the first downloadable Apple Park project, available on both bedrock and Java versions.

The Aerethos Apple Park Project has been paused until July 2024, and is expected in Spring 2025.

Official Statement on Construction Progress : by Aerethos 04/20/2024 2:56:25 pmApr 20th

Statement: April 20, 2024


Approximately 150 days ago, we unveiled our ambitious project to recreate the iconic Apple Park in Minecraft, adhering to its scale and distinctive design elements.

While our timeline experienced a delay in late 2024, we are currently on schedule to release the map for download in early 2025, with the possibility of an earlier release. However, we refrain from setting an earlier deadline to manage expectations and avoid disappointment in case of further delays.

Originally, our intention was to construct the map on an existing island, providing flexibility and customisation options. However, as we progressed, it became evident that realizing our vision at scale within the existing map world was unfeasible. Consequently, we have decided to build the project on a flat world, allowing for expansion and accommodating the entirety of Apple Park as initially planned.

Today, we are excited to announce that the project will be developed on a 30-block deep super flat world, serving as the canvas for the complete recreation of Apple Park. Following its completion, we will release the map and shift our focus to developing the surrounding community, including Cupertino. This subsequent endeavor will commence in early 2025, with no anticipation of downloadable content until the summer of 2025 at the earliest.

Consultations with members of the Build The Earth community have informed us that an estimated eight-month build window is necessary for a team to construct Cupertino. As such, we are targeting early 2026 for the completion of the Aerethos Cupertino Project, which will complement the Apple Park initiative.

We anticipate providing progress updates in late June 2024 and express our gratitude for your unwavering support.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Sincerely,
The Aerethos Team

I appreciate your feedback. To clarify, in the December 2 update, we used a specific world template for this build which allowed direct access into core data of the game, and to edit blocks without creating entities which would cause this world to crash. I understand the concern about needing to purchase certain elements from the Minecraft marketplace. I'm currently looking ways to remove these 'premium' elements from the world template, aiming to make it completely accessible for free.

I’ll get back to you if / when I get there. Thanks though

This seems really hype! Hope to see more of this as it progresses, and maybe a world download (free or not)

Thanks for your interest! We'll share detailed updates soon, including additional smaller projects. In July 2024, after completing the main ring, we'll release a free downloadable map updated regularly across all platforms. ~ Nathan
