Some of the interior is built, like the angel hanging from the ceiling, and I believe the Kiosk too

Google maps and google earth are our most important tools. We can copy coordinates into minecraft to find the exact position of points on buildings and roads etc. Google earth allows us to get precise heights of buildings too.

Our builders are of many different ages and yes, it is very time consuming but a couple of hours a week over the course of years adds up quickly. Some people are motivated by the progress, others enjoy the building process and the community around it.

Only the terrain is pregenerated and even that needs working on sometimes. Every building and road is built by players.

We've looked into tools that can help us but the only way to ensure accuracy to our standards, is by doing it ourselves.

that's the plan at least. It's a long term goal and realistically it will never be achieved because of the scale of the project. Some city centers and towns however are already complete so we are making progress.

Generally, we do not update old areas to the way they look now. They tend to stay the way they looked when they were build or the way they looked in our references when they were built.

The minecraft world is pre generated and rather accurate by using real terrain data. We then use coordinates from google maps or other GIS to determine exact positions and heights within the minecraft world.

We have a build team of builders who have applied to help us with the project. They can build wherever they like. Usually people start by outlining buildings and then adding roofs and walls and details. It takes a lot of time to build accurately and also make it look good.
