I Spent 152 Hours Recreating JABBA'S PALACE in Minecraft (The Book of Boba Fett)

I'm recreating Jabba's Palace from The Book of Boba Fett in Minecraft while also exploring some of the locations and sets they used behind the scenes to shoot Return of the Jedi, which is where Jabba's Palace first showed up in Star Wars.
You will see Minecraft building timelapses intermixed with trivia from the Star Wars movies. It's a lovely little mashup that holds about as well together as Harrison Ford and a giant pet dog driving a spaceship. It's odd, but it just... works, I guess?

☺ ABOUT ME
I make Minecraft time lapses and digital art. Watch your favorite franchises become blocky.
I spent a decade as a kid building stuff in virtual worlds in my free time. Now I'm helping Minecrafters become creatives so they can discover their purpose and make the world better by putting their art out into it.

I think you should have used the maps from the EA Star Wars Battlefront games as a reference. The interior map with the throne and gate is really good along with the outside map featuring the back end with the hanger.

Battlefront is such a great game

Yea but battlefront Jabba’s Palace in battlefront is kind of inaccurate

[@SWChris]

How'd you like this style of video? I definitely grew in appreciation of Boba Fett, and building this really made me anticipate The Book of Boba Fett more than I already have! Don't forget to check out the world download! The link is in the description! (And if anyone can help me port this 1.18 map to Bedrock, let me know! MCC Tool Chest can do it for older versions, but the new block types aren't supported.)

[@itzzmattx5653]

Man I wish I could do stuff like this on console

[@JSeed47]

Fun! Informative speed build! loved it!

[@Mark-gs5gj]

Awesome

[@honotenshi]

Is the map Bedrock or Java?

[@SWChris]

Java but I’m looking into converting it to Bedrock. I’ll make a community post about it when I’ve figured it out and it can be downloaded. Probably won’t look quite 100% because Bedrock doesn’t have the texture pack, but it’ll be close.

[@simonlambert8174]

As a perfectionist it is so satisfying to see your attention to detail and your motivation to recreate the most realistic version possible in Minecraft! This video felt really good to watch and your determination is contagious!!

[@PippenFTS]

Every aspect of this is great

[@SWChris]

Dude I love your videos (also thanks)

Amazing build. I'm glad to see you back. I prophesied the day you'd return with your building skill. I can't wait to see what you will do with all the knew tech in the game.

I'm pretty good with aesthetics. Command blocks might be a challenge ;)

this looks amazing... like a bantha

[@mikkomallikas2702]

As a big Star Wars fan I approve this 100%🤩🔥 It looks amazing all around u did a great job fr!

[@aardwolf7959]

Looks amazing! I remember when I was learning world edit and it made my building so much faster after I got used to it. There were commands I didn't even know existed that saved me so much time haha.

[@jamesli7709]

This is incredible! Deserves way more views!

Appreciate it! I have a strategy for getting it there. But slow and steady goes the race!

loved the captain cardinal refrance lol, he was a cool character

[@moistsparky9733]

Dude you are like the only person on planet earth besides me who has noticed all the weird inconsistencies with Jabba’s Palace

[@SWChris]

Yes! There is someone else!

[@moistsparky9733]

@@SWChris yes 😁I know right Also what is with the throne room being directly underneath the balcony on the tall tower even when that’s not even physically possible

[@SWChris]

@@moistsparky9733 ​There's a sneaky cut in the video as Krrrsantin and the Gamorreans are tumbling down the stairs. Maybe they just fell a looooong way haha. There was some Monty Python gag like that, I think? (But seriously, why?)

Love this style of video, I'll definitely be taking inspiration from this one in some of my future videos. Keep up the good work!

[@obsidianman4990]

This is amazing wow. This video deserves way more attention than it got. The amount of effort put into it is insane!

[@d-man9921]

Last summer I built a corvette and currently I am building a frigate that could maybe fit in the SW universe, especially the EU, but they aren't really made for SW and are just designs a friend came up with.

[@ItsAndyEast]

This was fantastic man. Great details, amazing build, fantastic editing. Next time don't hold yourself so hard to the deadline though! Take the time you need and I'm sure things will be less stressful :)

[@kamillid1092]

Amazing build and video quality! You deserve a lot more attention

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

Would be crazy if you created a project to make every single star wars location in Minecraft as a map.

[@cooperv.6083]

Man, this really looks incredible. Great work and really entertaining video even if you didn't hit your deadline. Respect the level of detail and effort to make everything authentic in spite of the nonsensical variety in building placement

[@hoineenietjij3331]

Dude! Why do you only have 13k subs? Just the amount of time you have putted in this video and the quality is amazing! You deserve 100% better. Your an true artist man

[@briancrevar5955]

Love it this is amazing!! Hope you do more Star Wars builds in the future!

[@graydonhively5909]

Dude that's actually sick as hell. I always looked for minecraft versions of castles or of Hogwarts specifically. I really didn't expect to see a Jabbas Palace build, and that's epic. Makes me want to install some mods and play some Star Wars minecraft.

[@scplover_xxx1302]

i would love to see a sarlacc pit maybe somewhere around there that woud be cool judging its near the tower and is one of jabbas favourite torture methods and is basically the whole reason boba fett changed and took over the palace

[@nicktuevers2795]

This is so cool to see, Jabba has always been a favorite character of mine.

[@Kingnickie]

This is actually ridiculous how much work actually went into this build, dude deserves millions of subs

[@madduxnagel6935]

Thanks for doing justice to one of my favorite locations in Star Wars! This is beyond impressive, you deserve much more recognition for the amount of work and detail that went into this. Hope to see more awesome videos like this from you in the future, you definitely earned yourself a sub

[@SWChris]

Thanks! More to come :)

[@Richard_Rojas]

Such refreshing content. I've been in a bit of a rut lately, and things are definitely not going my way and then this video just autoplays and takes me into such nice place. I got entertainment and wisdom from this. Thank you.

[@SWChris]

Glad it helped!

[@blitzeditzccp]

I loved Return of the Jedi when I was younger and to see jabbas palace again is so nostalgic to see

[@prometheus4268]

This is fantastic looking... I'd love to see more builds

[@lukecirimpei7402]

Damn, bro understood the assignment

[@Tclans]

Came here to comment for the algorithm. Stayed for the inconsistencies in tower placement. Interesting stuff there.

[@jacobmathews]

This is an incredible build!

[@yellowzlegoz1803]

I think its crazy how much research and effort you put into this, like you worry so much about all the accuracy and scale, when most of us dont really care, this is an amazing build, This deserves so much recognition.

9:30 - "And why R2 never goes down those stairs" R2 actually walked down stairs in the first Star Wars. Kind of an awkward hobble, one of those Kenny Baker suit shots.
