A developer has launched a Minecraft world recreating the whole of Switzerland at 1:1 scale, from Chiasso to Schaffhausen and Lake Geneva to Val Müstair, bundled with a custom mod, texture pack and shader. The project is sold as a licence starting at 15 CHF, with a 48 CHF tier referencing the country's 48 four-thousand-metre peaks, and payment is handled via Stripe using TWINT, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Buyers get a free sample region (Jungfrau-Aletsch) to test compatibility before purchasing, since the full release, still in Early Access, is non-refundable.
