The idea to recreate the ‘↵House on Haunted Hill‘ in ‘↑Minecraft‘ haunts me since months. Well, ↑Kevin Shull already did it back in November 2011, complete with custom texture pack and all:
House was created “block for block” as close as I could get with the photographs I found. Some areas were unclear in photos if photographed at all. House is 3x minecraft dimensions. Doors are six blocks tall instead of two. Thirteen textures created for textile blocks. Thirty additional “ice” blocks were created (that won’t melt) for windows and doors. Not enough blocks to do window designs or the gate and iron work. Interior lighting by transparent “glowstone” . For interior and exterior views of the house, two models were created to allow for different block surfaces on walls and placement of windows. Single player control mod was used to control sun and turn off rain that has become a constant problem. House is so large the MC cam creates a lot of distortion. Thought I’ld never finish it, but I’m happy with the way it turned out. Hope you like it.
Oh yes, I do like it, indeed—if you do, too: Besides ↑Ennis House ↑Kevin also did ↑Frank Lloyd Wright‘s other ‘textile block’ houses: ↑Freeman House, ↑Storer House, and ↑Millard House.
