The Museum of London (no less) has had the lovely idea of commissioning a Minecraft building group to recreate the city as it was in 1666, all ramshackle wooden houses baking in the hot summer sun, drying like tinder awaiting a spark. And we'll be able to download this interactive piece of history for free and mosey around it.
This Great Fire 1666 project will be released in three parts/maps.
