Lego and Minecraft go together like peanut butter and jelly. It just works, you know? They each rely on creativity and using blocks to build anything the imagination can dream of, so it only made sense when Lego officially created Minecraft sets through their Lego Ideas program.

Those sets are now available, and to celebrate the folks over at Lego went ahead and used the infinite power of children to set a new Guinness World Record. A record for what exactly? The largest Lego video game diorama. Yes, that is apparently a record. Check it out below.

It's an impressive piece, made even better by the fact that is was built by anybody who wanted to come by and contribute. Each person who came by the table at The Lego Brick event at London's Excel Exhibition Center, many of them kids, added a small piece to the ever growing diorama. Giant trees complete with treehouses, hundreds of Steves, islands, bridges all connected together to form one massive piece. The final diorama set the record at 17.13m squared.

"I knew that they loved it, but I'm blown away by how much they love it, and how super creative they are," says the Lego representative in the video. "They see it, they dig in and they can't help themselves. They build and build and build."

As the old saying goes, "If you build it, they will come." Or in this case that translates to "If you leave Minecraft Legos out in the open for kids to play with, they will build you a giant diorama and win you a record." That works too.
