Freehand sketch of the layout of a Minecraft world. Redwall Abbey. Credit: Planet Minecraft. I designed Redwall Abbey after a sketch Joseph Durel did in 2006. Although the cardinal direction is not exactly as depicted in the image and even the series, it is as closely accurate to the picture I could get.
