About

I’ve built so many different types of structures from houses, castles, people, pixel art, terraforming, caves and complete worlds like Abadore City by hand.
I have never once built anything like this.  The Raspberry Pi 3B  is the first for me to build a PCB in Minecraft.  This includes the PCB traces.  (Printed Circuit Board  Traces) you know, the lines that send current from and to its destination.

So what I’ll be doing is keeping you up to date on building it here until complete.  Note: the above image is an example of how this build will look.  (That’s if I don’t screw it up lol)

• Java Edition v1.12.2

  I have a lot left to do, but I’ve been at this for months, and it’s pushed me away from other Minecraft builds and other projects like the Raspberry Pi build I want to complete.
  At this point, I will be stopping the project until I can get another Raspberry Pi as a template to complete this build.   If you want to help, you can donate by downloading the current version of the world build for Minecraft 1.12.2 Java Edition.  That money will go to another Pi, and I’ll continue to finish this.

  I had to stop this project as the GPIO pins completely ruined where everything needed to be placed.  What I mean is that if I’m doing this project, I need to also follow the traces on the PCB, and I cannot do that because on the left of the Broadcom processor are 20 lines of traces and that screws up where the Processor sits on the board, because I need to make the GPIO pins larger.  This was the fatal and ending of this project. So what I did was I took the Image above and turned that into Minecraft blocks.   This is not what I wanted to do, but I do have some experience from tuning an image into 3D from doing this to my Abadore City world, which I haven’t completed, but you can watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYF0F-T4I90.
  I find this the lazy way, but it is more accurate in placing everything in the right locations and the size of the layout of that piece. Ok, so you are seeing some things below are done in 3D, and if you look closely, you can see the purple traces.  These will change colours to the bright green you see in the other images below.  In fact, I’ll be using the same blocks and the same type of layout.  If you see that pile of purple traces on the left of the Broadcom Processor, that is now correct.  This build is now going the right way. As I said, I didn’t want to do it this way because I know I’m better than this, but I have a month to build it.   I don’t have the time to start over like the way I did before. This will be a lot faster, too.

  I normally don’t add updates to my builds like this unless it’s on the Minecraft groups on Facebook, but since this is the Raspberry Pi 3B, this build also makes it enjoyable to the Raspberry Pi fans and possibly the Raspberry Pi foundation, “if and when they see it”.

  By this time, the main thing that was going through my head was.  This is a lot of work.  Following the traces of the board makes this almost impossible to make sure everything is exact and in the right locations.   One thing I can say is it’s actually starting to look like the Pi.  I just hope I don’t screw it up.  I still have a lot of hard work to do.  This is just a small section of the Pi.

  The first thing I did was build the LAN SMSC chip.  The reason I chose this is that the pins are the smallest and they are the same consistent size as the rest of the smallest pins on the PCB.
  Building everything after that made it much easier.
