My pet project has been to recreate a full-scale version of World of Warcraft inside Minecraft. The creation of the world is largely automated by custom software which I've been developing over the last few weeks. It's just now reached a point where I can release some quality screenshots!Even though he used a automated software to read World of Warcraft's map data, that is still a pretty hefty achievement.
Below you will see vistas from the first zone I have converted, Kalimdor, that I believe are very faithful to the original World of Warcraft environment. The same process will be used to re-create the entire game, including all continents and dungeons.
Check out the screenshots below showing some of the zones, or head over to his imgur album for the full list of Kalimdor zones. You can also check out his post on the Minecraft forums, or have a look at the massive world render.

Does that include reading the textures and laying down appropriate blocks?
What about all the models in the game and their textures?
I'm thinking he did more work then you might believe.

That being said, that'd still be a huge job. I wouldn't know where to start, and they're vastly different representations.

How much is automated and how much is finished by hand?
Still, very impressed!
