Nvidia has partnered withGreat Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charityto create the biggest winter wonderland ever, all built in Minecraft.
This is an interactive Santa’s grotto and winter wonderland experience that spans a whopping 38 acres of virtual space. All lovingly crafted in Minecraft.
The experience includes several hidden treats of references to classic Christmas films and a full recreation of Great Ormond Street hospital too.
It’s not just to show off what’s possible with RTX Minecraft either. As the experience is also part of an effort to raise money for the charity. Users can donate in the virtual hospital ordirectly via this link. Those donations will help seriously ill children get one step closer to being home this Christmas.
How to play the RTX Winter World
In order to try out the winter wonderland experience, you just need to follow these simple steps. Though you will need to be running an RTX graphics card to do so:
Christmas tree
No winter wonderland would be complete without a brightly and colourfully lit Christmas tree.
No winter wonderland would be complete without a brightly and colourfully lit Christmas tree. So naturally, this is one addition to the Minecraft one that comes complete with presents underneath.
Great Ormond Street Hospital
Nvidia has partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to create the biggest winter wonderland ever, all built in Minecraft.
A logical part of the charitable winter wonderland construction is the addition of the Great Ormond Street Hospital in virtual form.
A brilliant snowman
What’s not to love about a giant snowman complete with a Santa hat and an enormous present?
He’s a giant
It’s a most wonderful time of year. Even better when you don’t have to go out into the freezing cold to see a snowman. Even one that someone else constructed.
It’s also not every day you see a brightly lit snowman either.
Explore away
There are plenty of things to explore in the virtual wonderland. Including numerous nooks and crannies worth poking around in.
Little workers
Work your way through the winter wonderland and find a factory stocked with presents and little workers busying themselves for Christmas.
The London Eye
The views are complete with the London Eye reimagined in Minecraft form.
All in giant snowglobes
The winter wonderland is split across three giant snowglobes. One you case the top of one of them in this shot.
Three locations
The settings within the three globes include a winter wonderland, Santa’s village and a winter environment.
It’s said to be four times bigger than the real-world seasonal celebration that happens in Austria.
