University of East Anglia Recreated on Minecraft During Lockdown

<h1> University of East Anglia Recreated on Minecraft During Lockdown</h1> <html><body> University of East Anglia recreated Minecraft Minecraft during lockdown 22 May 2020 Students have recreated their campuses in reaction to missing university life following the Covid-19 lockdown. Sophie Johnston, a University of East Anglia (UEA), fresher, was 19 when she looked through the planning software to recreate the grounds using video game Minecraft. She was assisted by her three housemates Rebecca Bystry, 20, Tom Greensted, 19, and Matthew Wright, 19. The "campus" has been visited by more than 200 students. It is in the process of being built. Ms. Johnston said that she agrees that universities are missing the social aspect that allows people to meet and get to know one another from different backgrounds. "The server has allowed us to keep in touch with each others, and also get to know people we wouldn't have met in real life. It is beneficial for all of us mentally during lockdown." <a href="https://acesasoft.com/">Acesa's blog</a> Students have developed spaces such as the Ziggurat accommodation and main square, LCR music venue or UEA(su) and the library at Norwich's university. The four students who serve as server administrators have different roles. Ms Johnston and Mrs Bystry are the ones who build the servers. Mr Wright answers player questions via voice calls and text chats. Mr Greensted, who has learned programming is responsible for troubleshooting. The Minecraft creative mode gave unlimited access to Minecraft materials, which meant that the campus was designed by students. With the help of other players they are currently working on the interiors of some of the buildings. Ms Johnston stated that "Since our first years haven't been in all of the buildings, it's been essential to rely on the assistance of other students, staff and alumni who've given us photographs to assist us. there's been lots of memories!"
