:Main article: Build the Earth on the Minecraft Servers Wiki
Build The Earth is a project dedicated to recreating the Earth in a 1:1 scale in Minecraft. The project has attracted thousands of users to its Discord server, and has surpassed 6,000 officially registered builders. It is virtually cost-free aside from server hosting and owning a Minecraft account.
==Content & History==
He launched his YouTube channel on September 27, 2009, but never uploaded until October 21, 2015, where he uploaded a Minecraft video showcasing how he farmed 3.2M obsidian blocks, which according to the description, it is actually an older video recorded in 2013, but uploaded on YouTube in 2015. All of his videos were always dedicated to Minecraft.
He started to gain recognition in 2019 for mining all of the endstone in "The End" in Minecraft in a 145-hour timelapse.
He also gained huge recognition in March 2020 for being the author of the Earth in Minecraft at 1:1 scale for the first time ever in the history of Minecraft. He definitely didn't do it manually, but what he did was take off the entire Earth from OSM and turn it into a Minecraft map, but only the natural land was taken, and not the artificial human structures. Ever since then, he wanted his viewers to help build as many human structures in the map as possible (he has even set up a Discord server for that purpose called "BUILD THE EARTH", with over 220,000 members, making it one of the largest private Discord servers to ever exist.
Ever since then, he had been making some videos continuing on with his project. Before and during that time, he used to live in his father's house, then lived in a trailer for some time (when he initially moved, he had no power nor internet), then, in November 2020, he built a small shelter in Minecraft, then built it in real life with his father. From there, he has his own personal space for work and YouTube videos, while he has his trailer to spend time with his family.
Also, in that month, it happened that a video indicating progress through the project was missing, because of a server mistake. When Pippen was walking through the world border, after days of automatically walking while being AFK, so many chunks were loaded to the point where the server's size grew beyond 100 gigabytes, which has later caused an interruptive crash of the entire control panel. The server that was used the most already had an excess in plug-ins and it was the one server that suffered. However, despite this, Pippen decided to allocate more storage to the Patreon server for his world border walk and he managed to get the panel back up. After that, the server and chunks barely loaded, temporarily slowing the progress of this project. In the middle of the month, he cancelled the event, because he spent a week trying to save all of the buildings people made as separate files and wiped the server clean. They took a bit of a break, then continued their journey through Iceland.
April 2021 marks the date of the first year anniversary of the Build the Earth project. PippenFTS claims that at that time, one of the largest Minecraft buildings in history will take place.
=== Build It: 1:1 ===
Build It: 1:1 is the name of a series of videos in which PippenFTS and his team of professional Minecraft builders build and replicate a small part of its real-life counterpart. They mostly build cities or even small countries. A video of this series is mostly uploaded once a month.
