"After spending four years building Chicago out of virtual blocks, an 18-year-old from the north suburbs unveiled an intricate Minecraft map of downtown on Saturday," according to an article by Lulier Bartz.
"Ryan Zull, a New York University student who grew up in Deerfield, posted the model on Reddit under his username, Koodoo25," according to Bartz.
According to Zull's Reddit post, he used a program called Chunky to create the realistic lighting and reflections in the Minecraft world.
