A group of Minecraft and Inheritance Cycle enthusiasts are working hard to accomplish the near-impossible: they’re bringing Alagaësia to life in a video game! Minecraft, to be specific.
The group has spent the better part of five years working tirelessly to recreate the world, while also adding new gameplay mechanics such as magic based on Christopher Paolini’s Ancient Language, the ability to ride dragons and much more. With no set story line, you can make your own choices and shape the future of Alagaesia!

The team is working to stay as close to the books’ descriptions as possible. In some cases, creative license is taken, such as when a location is mentioned (or only found on the map) but not described in the books. Occasionally, locations such as the Beor Mountains must be scaled down to fit within the confines of the server’s map. Still, even with these minor changes, “Minecraft Alagaësia” is an incredible recreation of Christopher Paolini’s fantastical world!
