VäikeEesti

VäikeEesti is a community project initiated in 2021 with the aim of creating a virtual replica of Estonia within the popular sandbox game Minecraft. The project seeks to meticulously recreate iconic landmarks, cities, and landscapes of Estonia, offering players a unique opportunity to explore a digital representation of the country. The core of VäikeEesti lies in its collaborative nature, with volunteers from Estonia and abroad contributing to the building efforts.

The project focuses on historical accuracy and architectural detail, striving to capture the essence of Estonia's cultural heritage. Initial efforts concentrated on rebuilding Tallinn's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, followed by expansions to other significant locations such as Tartu, Pärnu, and various rural areas. Players can join the server, explore the meticulously crafted world, and even participate in the ongoing construction and development.

VäikeEesti serves as both an entertainment platform and an educational tool, allowing individuals to learn about Estonian geography and architecture in an interactive environment. The community actively engages through online forums and Discord channels, fostering a sense of shared purpose and creativity. The project continues to evolve, with plans to incorporate more regions and introduce new features to enhance the player experience and further its goal of digitally preserving and showcasing Estonia.
