The attention to detail in the Taj Mahal is insane, from the water in the front, to the bushes surrounding the palace.
It took this player two weeks to build the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. He says that he didn't mine for the items himself — he kind of cheated — because otherwise it would've taken him way longer.
Take a tour through the Minecraft Notre Dame in this video.
The Golden City isn't based on anything in reality, but it does show just how creative people can get in the game. Note the flying airship!
Of course players decided to try their hand at building Winterfell from the HBO show "Game of Thrones." But it doesn't stop there: The team that built Winterfell is dedicated to re-creating the entire universe from the first "Game of Thrones" book.

Creations don't even have to be buildings. Here, someone built a statue of Atlas. But more than in-game tools are needed to build structures such as this one. That's where downloads like texture packs and mods come in. The person who built this said it took a few months and a small team of people to complete.

While we're on the subject of icons, this person took on the challenge of building the Golden Gate Bridge.
