TheStardew Valleycommunity can be just as creative as the farming sim’s creator himself, and one fan’s stunning Lego recreation of the game’s map proves as much.
While there’s sadly no official Stardew Valley Lego set as of yet, this hasn’t stopped genius builders like Steve Jensen from making their own. Brick by brick, Jensen rebuilt the game’s vibrant town with Lego pieces - and the finished product is downright mind-blowing. From Marnie’s Ranch to the Community Center, his recreation seems to include every single major and minor map detail without missing a beat.

That’s not all, though - Jensen’s build also caught the attention of Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone himself. “While People’s Choice was big news,” Jensen writes in a celebratorypost, “this is even BIGGER NEWS! Guess who stopped by Saturday afternoon (before any awards had happened). It’s ok if you don’t recognize him… I didn’t either. And yes, I did a brief fan-boy moment when ConcernedApe introduced himself!”

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
Stardew Valley creator says he had his reasons to announce Haunted Chocolatier so early, and “if I don’t post for a while, it doesn’t mean I have abandoned the game”
Eric Barone says he just can’t “let go” of Stardew Valley “to work on something that isn’t already established and meaningful to people”
