Working with the National Trust and Minecraft specialists Blockbuilders, we used GPS drone data to construct a virtual model of the ruin, as it stands today.
Next, we brought in Minecraft creator Grian and historian Alice Loxton to rebuild the castle exactly as it was at the height of its 17th-century glory. We captured this in a content video that racked up more than a million views, then challenged fans to try it themselves.
After bringing Corfe Castle to Minecraft, we brought Minecraft to the castle, with Xbox consoles where visitors could try rebuilding the castle from within sight of the ruin itself.
