Since launching back in 2009,Minecrafthas become of the biggest video games ever. That includes in terms of its physical expanse. With the exception of something likeNo Man’s Sky, Mojang’s sandbox IP is easilyone of the biggest video games in terms of its map size. Given this huge landscape to play around with, fans have spent the last decade or so creating, or recreating, some immensely complex structures, and sometimes these projects bring worlds over from other franchises.
As spotted by PCGamesN, a new mod forMinecraftby a user called SeriousCraft is currently in development that is based onElden Ring. According to the download page on Planet Minecraft, “Elden World” is about 40% complete, and a demo is currently available for anyone who wants to try it out so far. The mod contains four sq kilometers to discover, which also features more than 20 dungeons and castles. For fans of both games, this sounds like it’s going to be a very interesting project to check out, especially once it’s complete. Currently, there doesn’t appear to be a launch window for the finale build.

It’s hardly surprising that FromSoftware’s latest action RPG has become the subject of a fan-madeMinecraftproject. Since being released in February,Elden Ringhas become one of the highest rated games of all time, with a Metacritic score of 96 on current-gen consoles, and 94 on PC, at the time of writing. Those who are familiar with the game will recognize some of the elements in SeriousCraft’s world, with images showing some of the pretty spectacular work that’s going into the map.
FromSoftware’s game has been influencing people since it launched, and this project is not the first of its kind. A few months ago, anotherMinecraftuser builtElden Ring-inspired terrain, showing not only a great amount of building talent, but also just how much of an impact the game has had on the community, especially fans ofMinecraft.
It’s not uncommon for other gaming franchises to make it into Mojang’s open world title. The likes ofSkyrimhave also found their way intoMinecraft, with fans building the city of Solitude, or Bleak Falls Barrow. Such recreations are impressive, allowing players to imagine what other games would look like when constructed using 1x1 blocks. It remains to be seen what other interesting projects the community will come up with, but evidently, there is still so much life left in the sandbox game.
Minecraftis available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
