They will be working with the popular "Minecraft" content creator, GrianMC, as well as historian Alice Loxton.

Both of these individuals will check if the in-game version of the Corfe Castle ruins is accurate.

Microsoft explained that this new challenge aims to encourage young audiences to engage with historical monuments, as well as landmarks across the United Kingdom.

This means that they will be challenged to recreate the ruins using their "Minecraft" skills.

Are You Up To the Challenge?

Microsoft, via its official Xbox UK Twitter account, also asked players to join their latest challenge. If you are interested, just search "Corfe.Ruins.Reimagined.com" or click this link.

Of course, the website is inaccessible to those not residing in the United Kingdom.

On the other hand, the tech giant manufacturer said that the new project will create a "Minecraft: Education Edition" experience package, which will be provided to young students across the U.K.

The National Trust archeologist Martin Papworth said that they are pleased to partner with Microsoft and Mojang, sharing his excitement since the new project is expected to educate more gamers.

You can surely expect more "Minecrafte" challenges focusing on historical places. 

On the other hand, a 1:1 scale New York City in "Minecraft" was created by thousands of gamers.
