Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time. Its community includes tens of millions of players all over the world. A community that has grown even more during the covid-19 crisis, confinement requires.
It was during this period that a 23-year-old young man from Toulouse took a liking to the game and pulled off the versatile soft Toulouse player.
He recreated the Place du Capitole
In March 2020, Jimmy Bouyssie indeed recreated Capitol Square… and many other monuments of Toulouse on Minecraft.
An achievement that the young man from Toulouse shared on Twitter on March 11, 2022. A tweet that was widely commented on and shared.
“Place du Capitole, I never get tired of it”
He tells us how this idea came to him:
“During the first lockdown in 2020, I knew it was going to be a long time, so with some friends we started playing Minecraft online. The idea of creating Place du Capitole came to me when I saw the article of News Toulouse on the reconstitution of the Bikini on Fortnite. I found the idea sadly funny given that the concert halls were closed. Me, the Place du Capitole, I never get tired of it, day or night, except that it was unfortunately no longer possible to be outside without a certificate… So I told myself that I was going to reconstruct it on Minecraft “.
30 hours of work
A confection that required 30 hours of work.
“Perhaps I could have done it in less time, but I was a novice and I really did everything down to the last detail, as well as possible. I was so happy with the final result that seeing the reactions of my friends, they challenged me to tackle the Saint-Sernin basilica. This time, it was much more complicated architecturally, but I still tried to reproduce it as faithfully as possible. It took me so long to build the basilica that I didn’t have the courage to finish by paving the place! »
In addition to Place du Capitole, Jimmy Bouyssié has reconstructed the Salle des Illustres, the Capitol Theater and so the basilica of Saint-Sernin.
What is certain is that the Capitole de Toulouse inspires…
The Capitol in Kapla®
In 2021, the artist Novica Cerovic had done a goldsmith’s job by building a faithful and quite monumental replica of the most famous building in Toulouse.
To do this, Novica he had used 15,000 Kapla® planks, this construction game that children love.
