One creative Elden Ring fan displayed their artistic talents by building Raya Lucaria Academy in Minecraft. Boasting a massive open world, Elden Ring’s the Lands Between features many breathtaking and iconic locations, making it a popular choice for fan art.

Among the many places players can visit in Elden Ring, Raya Lucaria Academy is notable since it is one of the legacy dungeons found within the game. While this location, part of the Liurnia of the Lakes region, is home to a number of challenging enemies for gamers to overcome, including Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, the site also features some impressive architecture. Recently, one gamer gave the in-game location a blocky makeover in another popular title.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as Krylord shared a collection of images of their recreation of Raya Lucaria Academy. While this location was originally brought to life in stunning detail in Elden Ring, this Reddit user made full use of the numerous blocks and other items in Minecraft to make an equally spectacular albeit blockier version of the location. Based on the screenshots from Krylord, the build appeared to realize the exterior and interior of Raya Lucaria Academy, highlighting the ornate architecture of the castle-like buildings of the academy.

Given the popularity of Elden Ring, it should not come as a surprise that this post has caught the attention of many fans in only a short amount of time. Since sharing the images of the Minecraft version of Raya Lucaria Academy, more than 1.1K users have expressed their approval by upvoting the creation. In the comments, many were impressed by the attention to detail in the design, with several wondering how long it took to build the massive location. Fortunately, Krylord responded quickly, noting they started the project in February and had worked several hours a week on the design. Some enjoyed the design so much that they hoped the creator would continue by making other locations from the Lands Between.

It’s worth pointing out that this impressive blocky version of Raya Lucaria Academy is not the first Elden Ring-themed creation made in Mojang’s popular game. In fact, another gamer previously made an incredible recreation of the Erdtree in Minecraft, replicating its massive scale. With Elden Ring receiving DLC in the future, it seems the game will continue to be relevant for a long time. With this in mind, it will be interesting to see what other locations from the Lands Between artistic fans are inspired to recreate in Minecraft in the coming months.

Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
