Building the Starship Enterprise and planet Earth in MineCraft

I first heard about MineCraft when my brother showed me a Wimp.com video of a 1 to 1 scale model of the Starship Enterprise. This really set off my geek alarm. It reminds me of building with legos as a kid, only without the clean-up or money sink because you must have every Star Wars ship-building lego kit ;)

I have been playing around with the game and having some fun. It is essentially virtual reality + legos. Enjoy some MineCraft creation videos below:

This video is a demo of Body Browser that shows how you can slide a bar to show skin, bones, internal organs, the nervous system and the brain. This is all done using HTML5 technology, which is stirring up the web world by producing these type of powerful visualizations without using Flash, right inside your browser.
