space station

The celestial sphere knows no bounds!

Well, to be honest, we do have a limitation of 256 blocks. However, that hasn’t stopped our build from being absolutely stunning!

I’ve been thinking and realized that I would never venture into space! Traveling by any form of transport makes me nauseous, and I’ve never mastered the moonwalk. Plus, I can’t imagine overcoming the urge to take off my spacesuit helmet just to play with my hair as it floats amusingly in zero gravity.

So, if you ever decide to journey into space, I will be the last person wanting to join you on that incredible adventure. But staying here on Earth means I’ll miss out on so many fascinating experiences. For instance, I’ll never get to see this fantastic space station!

This piece of interstellar space is the creation of Polish builder Miloš. “I love being creative. I have countless amazing ideas that I try to bring to life whenever I can,” says Miloš.

A student of culinary arts aspiring to become a DJ, Miloš has utilized building in Minecraft as a way to channel his energy creatively. “What I enjoy about Minecraft is that I can construct anything I want. The vast array of building materials allows me to realize my vision exactly as I imagine it,” shares Miloš.

“Moreover, breaking down constructions into blocks creates an astonishing, unique atmosphere.” This quote deserves a spot on our list of great sayings! We must remember it!

According to Miloš, the only limit in the game is the sky. But is that really true?

Just look at this! This build shatters all boundaries! Its scale and the number of details used cannot possibly be described as “limited.” It appears incredible, almost like something out of a movie, yet remains very realistic. If someone showed me this spaceship and claimed it was modeled after a real one, I would undoubtedly believe them. As we’ve established earlier, my knowledge of cosmic objects—and space in general—is quite lacking. Nevertheless, it’s undeniable how remarkably lifelike it looks!

The entire build features elegant, complementary colors, making it somewhat of a monochromatic marvel (which would be a fantastic title for this article, if a talented writer hadn’t already used it).

To achieve such a visual effect, Miloš adhered to a specific sequence of blocks: black, white, and gray. He incorporated “quartz, polished andesite, stone, black glass, polished diorite, iron blocks, and blue terracotta,” explained Miloš.

By maintaining a strict block sequence, he managed to highlight items featuring other colors. For example, the red stripes on the satellite or the comet that’s about to collide with the ship. I hope it has some sort of protective force field to prevent its destruction?

Miloš didn’t just select these blocks for their dark palette; he also considered how they would appear within the overall picture as a large-scale object. “Almost all the blocks used in constructing the space station have very simple textures. This greatly influences how the object will look when viewed on a larger scale,” says Miloš. That’s excellent advice—definitely keep it in mind if you’re planning your own large build in Minecraft Bedrock!

“For creating light and color, I used sea lanterns,” explains Miloš. This ties back to what we discussed recently. Using blocks for purposes other than their intended use is a clever strategy to add more detail and interest to your build. This also applies to blocks introduced in Minecraft Pocket Edition with the Aquatic update. Hmm, he hasn’t added pillagers yet, who also appeared in the latest update. Probably not the best idea.

Miloš shared that the most challenging part of the construction was connecting all the elements to create a cohesive object. But his efforts were not in vain, as the hardest part turned out to be the best. Perhaps that’s why the build became so successful. I enjoy looking at it and imagining how functional it could be, with astronauts (and pillagers, if anyone took that seriously) floating in the weightlessness of space.

With experience and knowledge in designing spacecraft, what does Miloš think about actual space travel? Would he ever want to embark on such a journey? (Mojang’s lawyers asked me to clarify that we are not offering to sponsor this trip).



“Of course, I would love to visit space. But only if it’s for a short time, say a week. It would be something like a one-week space trip!” says Miloš.

Well then, if any of the millions of astronauts (or billions?) are reading our articles, here’s a guy from Minecraft who wants to go to space with you!
