A map featuring the UK made entirely of Minecraft blocks has had an upgrade.

 

Created by Ordnance Survey (OS), the original map re-created 224,000 sq km (86,000 sq miles) of Britain using more than 22 billion blocks.

 

The updated version uses 83 billion blocks, with each one representing 25m of real-world British soil, road or grass.

 

The Minecraft UK map is so detailed that people should be able to find their own house on it.

 

Ordnance Survey said it would put an interactive map on its main webpage so people could generate co-ordinates to lead them to their home on the Minecraft version.
