Elden Ring locations recreated in Minecraft are stunningly detailed

A castle created in Minecraft.

Elden Ring already looks beautiful but I didn't realise it could look even more glorious, and that 'update' will come from an unusual space - Minecraft. Now, we've talked before about the beauty of Minecraft art here on Creative Bloq, but we've rarely seen anything quite as pretty as these recreations of Elden Ring locations.

In fact, it's hard to believe these dreamy softly lit landscapes are Minecraft at all since they look more like paintings than blocky pixel art. This new Elden Ring visual revamp has been created by fan Manofdutch, and I can't help but thing this should be the start of something new, and new ways to make use of Minecraft and rethink how established games can look.

Manofdutch has created incredible Minecraft artworks inspired by real places like Corvin Castle in Romania as well as locations from Elden Ring and Bloodborne. He's even brought Silent Hill fog (read how Bloober Team made that in our Silent Hill 2 Remake feature when we visited the dev in Tokyo) in to the world-building game. You can read what we thought of of FromSoftware's game in our Elden Ring review.

He builds his creations in Minecraft with the Conquest Reforged mod. He uses custom maps made by RedLikeRanger and Bliss Shaders to polish his work. You can see the results in the beautiful videos below.
