The sun-drenched ruins of Nier Automata appear to have inspired a custom Minecraft map that you can download and explore in your own copy of the popular sandbox game. The Abandoned City is an ambitious and impressive map that looks even better with some Minecraft mods and shaders installed.
Abandoned City was created by modder Viator for Minecraft. This is an extensive map of the city, showing ruined office buildings and skyscrapers overgrown with moss and other foliage, with water covering the sidewalk below. It is strikingly similar in tone and architecture to the City Ruins area in Nier Automata, even including some of the buildings that have fallen on their sides.
Leaning buildings are always nice to look at, but what's especially impressive is their rendering in Minecraft Nier Automata's rigid cube grid. Buildings also tilt at different angles - the ways they tilt look surprisingly natural on this map, which must have required a lot of attention.
There are many interesting things in abandoned city, including the NPC village. Viator - who worked on this map for over a year - recommends using OptiFine optimization mod, version 3.0 Nostalgia Shader for best results when working with the map.
