Enduring journey, Endless gratitude
The Hong Kong - Macau team of the Build The Earth project has just turned into its 2nd anniversary! Our project has gone a long way, and we have also made significant progress in our 1:1 map. The intense work of our builders, overnight works of our engineers, and the support of every single one of you, all made this great work possible. As we step further onwards into years and beyond, why not take a moment and look back at the greatness we've all achieved.

Over the past year, our progress in various places has grown. Tseung Kwan O, our largest single built area, has gotten even larger! Our Central - Admiralty skyline has expanded further into Wan Chai. More stunning iconic builds are done, from Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in northern Wan Chai to Innovation Tower in Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Greater history is also preserved, with the rapid effort to build up Apple Daily Headquarters. The list goes a lot longer, so why not explore that yourself?
In the past year, we've completed one of the largest overhaul of our server, bringing accurate terrain to our Minecraft world. We also have a new application system, simplifying the process of joining us. Our server also has an hardware upgrade, bringing smoother building process. Our Minecraft server is now a better place than what we had!
What marks our team's success isn't just on physical progress, but more on how far and wide our influence goes.
In last summer, we've made a close collaboration to deliver Minecraft courses in local secondary schools, where our experienced builders doubles as coaches, sharing knowledge and guiding students step by step towards completion of their school, the very place they take pride of. Not only do students admire how Minecraft could go beyond just games, but also the wide potential they have to make incredible buildings.
What if Minecraft turns competitive, and students have to race to complete a build. Sounds cool isn't it?
That's exactly what we've done last year. With a massive event space and over 50 students joining, the blocky world has turned into a battlefield where groups have to race to complete as much building as possible. Our focus is obviously not only on quantity, but quality as well. Different buildings and features give different scores, and it's surprising on how much our students have achieved.
