From flipping through the glossy pages of travel magazines, daydreaming over sun-drenched backdrops of The White Lotus, or bookmarking dreamy vlogs from our favourite travel influencers, travel inspiration is never too far away. But with the rise of immersive tech, there’s a new way to gain inspiration for your next getaway.

Aussies are now turning to the virtual worlds of their favourite video games to inspire their next escape.

What Is a Minecraft-Inspired Itinerary?

Just as fans of Studio Ghibli flock to the whimsical locations that inspired the films, our sights have been set on New Zealand ever since A Minecraft Movie dropped earlier this year. And, if you thought Auckland’s natural beauty was striking in the almost 2D landscape of the blocky Minecraft aesthetic, wait until you experience the City of Sails in real life.

Unlike your stock-standard travel guides, these itineraries are inspired by the landscapes and destinations found within the film, including the charming town of Huntly, where scenes of the fictional Minecraft town, Chuglass, was filmed.

So, if you didn’t have a Minecraft travel bucket list before, you do now—and you can tick it off one by one. From bustling nightlife to majestic fjords, a Minecraft-inspired itinerary is your unexpected ticket to exploring the Land of the Long White Cloud.
