the fact that it is built on survival is just outstanding

[Peter-ewdf]

Most people would probably think a project like this would be unfathomable in creative, but to do it in survival is an accomplishment on another level!

[erikmuller]

I love this project and I'm really proud to be a Part of this. It has been a pleasure build this City for the past few months

[kacperwoch]

The scale of demolition during the project is impressive in its own right. I can relate, having built a medieval city (in creative) myself, constantly expanding it and changing the vision, moving the buildings. Your city is on another level tho, i really appreciate the real life inspirations and how i can recognize the exact buildings used as a reference.

[rochelimit]

i love how buildings are redone again and again, making it more beautiful than before. even the cathedral's nave is redone in 24:40, polygonal form is much more beautiful and complex than rounded.

[zeeloi]

I’m sorry? Only 4500 views?? This is criminally underrated guys. Really good job

[ruslanx]

Even as a non minecraft-player... INSANE!!! I actually dont know why it hasnt got like several million views. Be Proud on the work. Never seen before. <3

[TheOoberTooberJr]

The one thing I love about this project was the consistent and practical use of scaffolding during construction. I've seen so many people use normal blocks for scaffolding before when we have the actual thing for more uses than what you'd get out of dirt or leaves. It made watching the video engaging oddly enough! Good work!

[LarsWilcke-js]

I'm glad I got to be a part of this epic project and can't wait for the next one.

[leosypher]

if this time was spent working as an architect, that would be around 673, 100$

this build is absolutely spectacular

[Il_Gobbux]

Stunning! This video will never be appreciated enough

[boffyt]

Impressive dedication! Your 10, 000 hour survival-project, Lucastro, showcases an extraordinary commitment to creativity and perseverance. The level of detail and effort you've put into the build is truly commendable. Well done!

[pumpkinlightsfanservice]

absolutely gorgeous! got my brain out of the mess it's been in and inspired me to go back to my larger builds, so thank you so much! That cathedral really is impressive, but then again so is the whole city, so well done!

[Henri.d.Olivoir]

This is simply the most gracious, magnificent and oustanding Minecraft project I have ever seen, and it was done in survival...
I wish I could say more than what I am going to, but, my dearest and greatest gratulations to every single person involved in this colossal task; I salute all of you

[valoisfulcanelli]

This is an absolutely incredible project. So glad that YouTube recommended this video to me this morning.

[jimdotcom]

you know what i love about these videos and cinematics the most? the fact that the camera moves around so much that you never actually get any clear views of what the different elements look like. some slow/static 3/4 shots, like the thumbnails, every now and then would be great.

[molly]

that’s so cute that you made monuments for players who contributed lots of time to the project! ❤️❤️

[alessandrocorneli]

Didn't expect to see such a nice reinterpretation of San Marco basilica, plaza and tower from Venice in the Newcastro section, mesmerizing work, simply beautiful, kudos to all of you!

[PfostenStudios]

Meinen größten Respekt an alle die bei dem Projekt mitgeholfen haben, eine wunderschöne Stadt und zwei hart erarbeitete, und verdiente Weltrekorde. Super zusammenarbeit

[AerNoLaertes]

Damn, this is freaking amazing!!!! Hell, I'm saving this as a architectural reference!! I love the mix of styles and how organic yet planned is everything!!
