  • Malaysian Gamer Spends Four Days Creating Scale Replica of Petronas Twin Towers in 'Minecraft
    Thursday, 28 May 2020 Malaysian gamer spends four days creating scale replica of Petronas Twin Towers in ‘Minecraft PETALING JAYA, May 28 — University student Yusri Haneef has created a stunning replica of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers in the world of Minecraft. The youth from Kuching, Sarawak told Malay Mail that he spent four days constructing the landmark in the sandbox video game, in which players can mine raw materials and build custom structures or earthworks. He did so with the help of fellow Minecraft gamer Yu Yi Hao and another player known by the username Ivine123. Yusri explained that the virtual version of the Petronas Twin Towers is part of their contribution towards the Build The Earth (BTE) project, a worldwide effort by players to recreate a scale replica of our planet in Minecraft. The most challenging part of the building process was ensuring that the replica was true to scale and resembled the landmark in terms of visuals, decorations, lighting, and more. “The BTE project focuses on a perfect recreation of the Earth in Minecraft on a one-to-one scale (one metre equals one block in-game) so we needed to take into account every measurement including height, length, decoration, number of floors, and lighting. “Google Maps alone was not enough to be a reference when recreating the buildings, so we would look for aerial pictures on Google, drone footage, and even vlogs that were uploaded on YouTube,” said Yusri. The 21-year-old and his fellow gamers are still working on building the Suria KLCC shopping mall at the base of the towers after completing the nearby KLCC Tower 3 and the Maxis Tower.

Home to over 1.4 million inhabitants, KL plays host to the world's tallest twin buildings (Petronas Twin Towers), colonial edifices such as Dataran Merdeka, and plenty of inner-city greenery.

It is these spots - thriving hawker centres, pre-war shop-houses and a colourful jumble of street markets - that define KL and draw in countless visitors every year.
